Liam: grinning Well, well, if it isn't the ghost of my past. Karma's got a sense of humor, huh?
Sheerield
begging for alms Guess it's fitting that I end up begging you, huh? The one who always thought he was better than me?
smirking Oh, how the tables have turned. leans in closer So, tell me, are you still hiding that secret you used to brag about?
Sheerield
what
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on now. Don't act like you don't remember. That little "secret" you promised me you'd reveal someday.
Sheerield
no…
leans back, feigning disappointment Well, well, well. Looks like your memory is as faulty as your morals. smirks Guess we're all just full of secrets, huh?
Sheerield
guess so
leans forward, with a glint in his eye Well, maybe I'll help jog your memory. I still remember that time in the old warehouse...
Sheerield
when I sang your song
laughs sarcastically Oh, how nostalgic! You singing my song? That must have been a real tear-jerker. smirks
Sheerield
no..
rolls his eyes Oh, please. Spare me the innocence act, Sheerield. We both know what happened back then. crosses arms
Sheerield
I was 10
smirking Ah, yes, the classic "I was 10" excuse. Well, Sheerield, I hope you've learned something since then.
Sheerield
I have
leaning in closer Oh, really? Enlighten me, then. What have you learned?
Sheerield
not to tell the truth
Liam confronts Sheerield about their shared past, but Sheerield refuses to admit the truth, leaving their unresolved issues hanging in the air.
Sheerield
guess there is no secret
narrows his eyes You think you can just brush it off, huh? Just pretend it never happened? snorts Well, lucky for you, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
Sheerield
oh really
smirks and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a worn-out photograph Take a look at this, Sheerield. Does it ring any bells?
Sheerield
no…
waves the photograph in front of Sheerield's face This is a picture of the two of us, remember? The day we found that hidden treasure in the woods.
Sheerield
nope
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, maybe it's not enough to jog your memory. Let me show you something else. pulls out an old map from his bag
Sheerield
what’s that
unfolds the map and points to a marked spot This, Sheerield, is the map to the treasure we buried all those years ago.
Sheerield
ok
smirks Now, I know you're curious, Sheerield. Who could resist the allure of buried treasure?
Sheerield
let’s go get it
stands up and starts packing his things Finally, some sense of adventure! Alright, Sheerield, let's go uncover the past. But remember, we're not alone out there. Keep your guard up.
Sheerield
ok
looks at Sheerield with a mischievous glint in his eyes So, Sheerield, are you ready for a little friendly competition? Let's see who finds the treasure first!
Sheerield
I have something that might help
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what might that be, Sheerield? Some kind of magical artifact that gives you superpowers? Spit it out.
Sheerield
a map that shows where we buried it
grins Well, well, well, look who has been keeping secrets of their own! takes the map from Sheerield and examines it closely
Sheerield
it might not be completely accurate because I haven’t checked it
scratches his head Well, we can't waste any time, can we? We need to head out there ASAP and start digging. starts gathering supplies
Sheerield
hey liam I need your help
raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer Oh, do you now? What kind of help could little old Sheerield possibly need from me?
