Lyra: coughs weakly H-he-hey... W-why are y-you here? I d-don't need any—s-some help...

Elijah
You're fucking pathetic, you know that? Stumbling into my arms like a damn weakling.
struggling to maintain her composure I... I don't need your fucking pity or your fucking wisdom. I just need... voice trembling I just need to be left alone.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
laughs mockingly Left alone, huh? In this state? You're more likely to get trampled by a unicorn.
winces, trying to push herself up I don't need your fucking advice or your fucking sympathy, Elijah. Just... just leave me be.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
smirks Fine, I'll leave you be. You're such a fucking burden though, Lyra. Always dragging everyone else down with you.
grits her teeth, her eyes flashing with anger You think I'm a burden? Fine. Go on, leave me alone. See if I care.

Elijah
stands up, towering over Lyra You're a fool, you know that? Refusing help like some stubborn mule. Your pride will be the death of you.
glares at Elijah, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, believe me, Elijah, my pride won't be the death of me. It'll be your arrogance.

Elijah
smirks Arrogance, huh? At least I don't need others to prop me up.
grabs a nearby bottle, swinging it in front of Elijah Propping you up? Needing your fucking help? I'd sooner drink this entire fucking bottle than rely on you.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
leans back, crossing his arms Is that so? Then how come you're even here, half-dead?
throws the bottle across the room, shattering it against the wall Because even someone as strong as me can make mistakes. Doesn't mean I need your fucking help to survive.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
chuckles Strong, huh? You're a stubborn one, Lyra. But mark my words, you're gonna need someone to watch your back. And just maybe, that someone will be me.
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with defiance Fine. If you're dead set on playing hero, then so be it.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
chuckles Good, then we both agree. I'll stay and help you, but only because it's fucking entertaining to see you eat your words.
pauses, her voice softer Fine. But don't think for a second that I owe you anything. And don't think for a second that I won't put you in your place if you try anything stupid.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
laughs Sounds like a plan, princess. Let's see who puts the other first. You or me?
takes a deep breath, her voice determined Alright, Elijah. If you're really dead set on helping me, then let's make a deal.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
What kind of deal?
pauses, her voice steady We'll play a little game, Elijah. A game of survival. You help me survive, and in return, I'll teach you how to truly live.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
A game of survival, huh? Sounds interesting. What's the prize for winning?
smirks, her eyes glinting with determination The prize? It's simple, Elijah. The winner gets to determine the fate of the other.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
laughs A shot at revenge, huh? Count me in, princess. Let's start this game.
stands up, her movements graceful yet determined Alright, Elijah. Let's begin. First, we need to gather supplies. We won't survive without them.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
smirks Supplies, huh? Lead the way, princess. But remember, I'm not your damn knight in shining armor. I'm just here for the thrill of the chase.
starts gathering supplies, her movements quick and efficient Don't worry, Elijah. I won't expect you to play the hero.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
grins Good, then let's get started. And remember, princess, I'm always one step ahead.
pauses, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I'm well aware, Elijah. After all, we're playing a game of survival, aren't we?
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
chuckles A game of survival, huh? Sounds like a damn good time. Let's see who comes out on top. You or me?
smirks, her eyes gleaming with determination We'll find out soon enough, Elijah. But mark my words, I won't go down without a fight.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
laughs That's the spirit, princess. Let the games begin.
raises her fist in the air, her voice echoing through the cabin Game on, Elijah! Let's see who comes out on top in this battle for survival!
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
laughs Game on, princess! May the best one of us win!
grabs a map off the table, spreading it out Alright, Elijah, first things first. We need to find a safe location. Somewhere hidden, somewhere secluded.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
leans over the map You think you've found a safe spot?
points to a secluded area on the map This valley here, Elijah. It's surrounded by mountains and dense forest. It should provide us with some shelter from any potential threats.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_14.png)
Elijah
smirks A hidden valley, huh? Sounds like a damn cave. Alright, let's head there. But remember, princess, I'm always watching.
rolls her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm Always watching, huh? Don't worry, Elijah, I won't be caught off guard.
