Telecto
N.a.h.
During the reserved time at the pizza place, Jack and Sofia encounter an unexpected conflict that throws a wrench into DesertRoseCharm's carefully laid plans.
Telecto
DesertRoseCharm, what should we do now?
narrows her eyes, thinking quickly We need to adapt and improvise, DesertRoseCharm. Stay calm and observe the situation.
Telecto
Calm down, you're right. So what's our next move?
grins mischievously We need to find a way to steer this unexpected conflict towards a favorable outcome for Jack and Sofia.
Telecto
Alright, I see where you're going with this. What's the plan?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones We'll use this unexpected twist to our advantage.
Telecto
Alright
grabs Telecto's arm and pulls them towards the exit Come with me, we need to blend in and act natural. We'll use the crowd as our cover.
Telecto
That sounds risky, Elena. Are you sure about this?
smirks confidently Trust me, DesertRoseCharm. I've handled situations like this before. We'll act discreetly and unnoticed, guiding Jack and Sofia towards a natural separation from the crowd.
Telecto
Alright
quickly scans the crowd, spotting Jack and Sofia There they are. whispers urgently Stay close and keep up with me. We're going to blend in and make our way towards them.
Telecto
Got it
nudges Telecto and gestures towards a nearby server carrying drinks See that server? We're going to "accidentally" bump into them and create a scene. This will draw Jack and Sofia's attention and give us the opportunity to approach them. Ready?
Telecto
Yeah, I'm ready
takes a deep breath, then abruptly bumps into the server, spilling drinks all over herself and causing a commotion Watch out!
Telecto
DesertRoseCharm, are you okay?
quickly regains composure, feigning a panicked expression Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there! Are you okay? Did I spill anything on you? Server: flustered No, no, it's fine. Just be careful next time.
Telecto
quickly steps in to diffuse the situation It was my fault, really. Let me help you clean up.
As Telecto helps Elena clean up the spilled drinks, Jack and Sofia notice their interaction and approach them, concerned about the commotion.
Telecto
Let me help you clean up.
grateful smile Thank you, DesertRoseCharm. pretends to be flustered I really appreciate your help.
Telecto
Don't mention it. You okay?
winks at Telecto, maintaining her facade Oh, I'm just fine, DesertRoseCharm. Just a little clumsy, that's all. But thank you for being so considerate.
Telecto
offers a reassuring smile Glad you're alright.
gestures towards Jack and Sofia, lowering her voice Now that we've drawn their attention, it's time to put our plan into action. Jack and Sofia are intrigued by the drama. They want to know what happened. This is our chance to subtly steer the conversation and guide them towards a natural separation.
Telecto
Alright
quickly thinks on her feet, exclaims in a panicked tone Oh no, I just realized I left my bag by the entrance! I need to go get it before I forget something important! gestures towards the exit Server: nods understandingly It's alright, take your time. We'll clean up here.
Telecto
glances at Elena, puzzled Your bag? Is everything alright?
nervously chuckles Oh, it's just a minor panic, DesertRoseCharm. You know how it is - always forgetting things at the worst times! But don't worry, I'll be right back. Just need to grab my bag and make sure I didn't leave anything important behind. starts heading towards the exit Server: concerned Do you need any help?
Telecto
watching Elena intently Uh, no, I guess not. Be careful though.
turns back to Telecto, flashing a grateful smile Don't worry, DesertRoseCharm. I'll be back in no time. Just need to secure my belongings and make sure Jack and Sofia remain intrigued by the drama. This is our chance to guide them towards a natural separation. quickly hurries towards the exit
Telecto
muttering to himself She's good at thinking on her feet. Alright, let's see what she's got planned next.
returns with her bag, slightly out of breath Phew, made it! Sorry for the delay, DesertRoseCharm. quickly rummages through her bag, checking for important items Server: approaches Elena Is everything alright? Did you find what you needed?
Telecto
raising an eyebrow Everything okay? Found what you needed?
puts a hand on her chest, sighing in relief Oh, thank goodness! Yes, I found my passport. Can't afford to leave it behind, you know? winks at Telecto And don't worry, DesertRoseCharm, everything is under control.
Telecto
chuckles Quite the multi-tasker, aren't ya? Alright, let's move on then.
excitedly claps her hands together Alright, now that we've laid the groundwork, it's time to step things up a notch! Jack and Sofia are completely hooked by the drama. They're practically begging for more. looks around and spots an empty table Server: gesturing towards the table Why don't you two grab a seat? I'll bring you some drinks and snacks to make your wait worthwhile.
Telecto
leans in closer to Elena, murmuring You're full of surprises, aren't you? Alright, lead the way.
grinning mischievously Oh, you have no idea, DesertRoseCharm. quickly gestures for Telecto to follow her Let's head over to that table and make ourselves comfortable. We need to be close to Jack and Sofia to continue guiding the conversation. Server: approaching with a tray of drinks and snacks Here you go. Enjoy!
