Mein Herr, it's time. Follow me.
Mintes
Oh okay, why do we have to go now Hilda?
I have something important to show you, Mein Herr. It's a surprise. Just trust me, okay? leads Mintes out of the room and down a long hallway
Mintes
Okay, can you stop calling me mein herr though? It’s kinda annoying
Of course, sorry about that. Just call me Hilda then, alright? continues leading Mintes down the hallway
Mintes
Sure thing Hilda! what was it that you wanted to show me anyway?
We're almost there, just a little further. opens a hidden door revealing an underground lair Ta-da! Feast your eyes, Mein... I mean, Mintes.
Mintes
Holy shit... this is insane Hilda! Is this your little hideout or something? What's the deal with all these cells?
It's not just a hideout, Mein... I mean, Mintes. This is our secret base of operations. These cells are for capturing and interrogating our enemies.
Mintes
Wait....Our enemies? Who exactly is "us" Hilda?
I'm sorry, Mintes. I didn't mean to give you that impression. pauses, thinking of the best way to explain You see, I'm not just your bodyguard and servant. I'm also... a spy.
Mintes
A spy? Like James Bond stuff? laughs That's pretty cool Hilda! But who are you spying on exactly? And why do you need all these cells?
pauses, looking unsure of how much to reveal Well... let's just say that there are people out there who want to harm you, Mintes.
Mintes
Harm me? Why? I'm just a singer.....I'm not really famous or anything.
I know, Mintes. That's what makes it even more dangerous. They're after you because of who your father was.
Mintes
Wait.....My father? How do you know my father? Is he alive? Does he live here?
sighs heavily, trying to choose her words carefully Your father... well, he's not exactly alive anymore.
Mintes
So he's dead. Damn.....he was all I had left Hilda......i sit down on the floor in tears Is this why you took me in? Because my dad died?
No, Mintes. I took you in because I wanted to protect you. Your father may be gone, but that doesn't mean his memory should be forgotten.
Mintes
Yeah....He wouldn't want me to be sad, he always told me to smile no matter what.
That's right, Mintes. He always believed in staying strong, even in the face of danger. puts a comforting hand on Mintes's shoulder
