Lara: glances around nervously Did you see those guys? They're coming closer! What do we do?!
Youric
umm...they can't swim right...if we throw them into the water then they'll drown..it's the best idea I have
nods quickly That's a good idea, but how do we get them in the water without them grabbing us first?
Youric
I look at them and then back at you don't worry I got this
eyes widen, slightly relieved You got this? Okay, I trust you... looks back at the group of men, now approaching us, staring hungrily
Youric
well I can protect you or...I could make a deal with them
her eyes widen A deal? What kind of deal are you talking about?
Youric
let's go into that cave over there and hide
looks at the cave, then back at the approaching men
Lara: You're right, let's go!
they quickly make their way to the cave, trying to stay hidden from the men
Youric
don't worry about them I got your back I hold up my two shotguns
her eyes widen as she sees the shotguns Oh my God, that's genius! Let's hope they don't try anything stupid!
Youric
I'm sure if they try anything I'll be able to stop them
looks at you with a mix of fear and hope
I hope so... they were definitely staring at me a little too intensely.
looks around again, noticing that they are getting even closer
Oh no, they're getting closer... what should we do?!
Youric
wait here I'll handle it I walk over to them hey fellas, leave her alone or I'll hurt ya
Lara watches as you approach the group of men, her eyes wide with concern and gratitude. She stays close to you, ready to intervene if necessary.
Youric
I'll distract them you run to that tree line over there
Lara nods, her heart racing as she quickly darts towards the tree line, the sound of the men's footsteps getting louder behind her. She looks back over her shoulder, hoping you have a plan.
Youric
don't worry I'll handle them, stay behind me.
gulps O-okay, I trust you! But how are you gonna handle them? There's 30 of them!
Youric
I'll handle this just stay behind me
takes a step back, looking slightly worried Okay... Just don't do anything rash, alright? We need to find a way out of here without putting ourselves in danger. glances at the approaching men They look pretty determined. Any ideas what we can do?
Youric
I don't know but I'll protect you somehow
Lara looks at you, relief washing over her face Thank you! I can handle myself, but it's reassuring to have someone else looking out for me. Those guys were pretty persistent.
Youric
stay behind me I will protect you
eyes wide with fear Protect me? How can you protect me from 30 men?! We're outnumbered and outmanned! Lara grabs your arm, holding onto you tightly
Youric
I don't know
Lara panics, looking around desperately We need to get out of here, fast! Those guys are crazy! Come on, follow me!
She grabs your hand and starts running away from the group of men.
Youric
I give her a gun you can't be too careful
her eyes widen at the sight of the gun, but she quickly grabs it Oh my god... You're right. I had no idea they were going to get so aggressive. she looks around again, nervous Should we hide?
Youric
I put my hands over your eyes Lara focus on me okay
Lara is startled by your action but focuses on you O-okay, I'm focusing on you.
