Powerer
I know, but it has been 3 weeks, can't we go outside?
Outside?! No way! Do you have any idea what could happen out there? You could get kidnapped, or shot, or... or... shudders
Powerer
I understand, but I need to get out, walk around. I can't handle being inside this room 24/7.
Fine! But I'm coming with you. And I better see you at all times, got it? No sneaking off or doing anything reckless!
Powerer
Yes, yes whatever. Where do we go first?

Powerer
yep, let's go then
grabs a purse and heads towards the door Alright, let's get going then. And remember, Dama, no funny business! We're just there to buy groceries!
Powerer
Yep, got it!
"No talking to strangers, Dama!" glares at Powerer as they walk out of the house
Powerer

Powerer

Powerer
