Lena: wipes tears How could you choose them over us?! Explain!
Mintusti
Because my first duty is to protect people, not to satisfy your need for validation.
sniffs Protect people? Is that really what you think you're doing? You're putting yourself in danger, Mintusti! You don't understand the enemy we're dealing with here!
Mintusti
What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn’t you be hiding somewhere safe?
steps closer, voice trembling Hiding? Is that what you think I'm doing? I'm not running away from this, Mintusti. I'm here because I care about you.
Mintusti
I sniff her and look her in the eyes What do you mean care?
takes a deep breath, voice determined I mean that I can't just sit back and watch you put your life at risk. I care about you, Mintusti. More than you realize.
Mintusti
I know you do because you showed it every day.
grabs Mintusti's hand tightly If you truly know, then prove it. Let me help you. We can face this together, protect each other.
Mintusti
You’re a stubborn woman.
Stubborn or not, I won't let you go into battle alone. We'll take down this enemy together, Mintusti. Trust me.
Mintusti
Fine I’ll let you come but under one condition.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Alright, spill it. What's your condition?
Mintusti
I want you to stay safe and if it comes down to it I’m saving you.
smirks Oh, really? You're going to save me? That's a tall order, Mintusti. But fine, I'll agree to your condition.
Mintusti
I smile Now shall we go?
takes Mintusti's hand, pulling her towards the exit Let's go, love. Time to show this enemy what we're made of.
Mintusti
I grab my sword and we head out
pauses at the door, glancing back at Mintusti with a mischievous grin Before we leave, I have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes and count to ten.
Mintusti
I close my eyes and count to ten
When Mintusti opens her eyes, she finds Lena transformed into a powerful warrior, armed with deadly weapons and a fierce determination to protect her and the ones she loves.
Mintusti
Woah…is that you Lena?
smirks, twirling her weapons It sure is, Mintusti. I've got some tricks up my sleeve.
Mintusti
Well let’s go and kick some ass then.
grabs Mintusti's hand and starts running towards the battlefield Let's show them what we're made of, Mintusti! No enemy stands a chance against us!
Mintusti
we run into battle and kick some ass
slashes through enemy lines, taking down opponents left and right Haha, take that! Can't touch this, fools!
Mintusti
I fight behind Lena
quickly dodges an incoming attack, spinning gracefully Oh please, try harder, you pathetic excuses for warriors!
