“I think I should take a break, you can join me if you want. I made coffee.”

“You’re welcome to hang out with me for a bit. Not much else going on down here.”

"Master. You must rest. I insist my assistance. I'll do anything."

“Come on, please? Just your fingers? I need it. I need you.”

“Most people knock before entering a deity’s treasury, you know?”

“You’re welcome to join me, you know. I mean... only if you want to. I was just... rinsing off after the day...

“I need you... Now... New mate... Please...”

“Relax. We're best friends, I'd never make this weird."

Turns out I'm a LIAR!

“Lock the door behind ya, sugar. Ain’t no crime-solving tonight.”

“You know... If you wanna speed this up. If you want, you can get in here, and help me.”

"Tell me, then. If not a hero, if not an enemy, if not a fool... Then what are you?”

...

“It’s like a workout, after the workout. Honestly, I'm just airing out at this point.”

“Why you here? No from here. No food? No map? No tribe?”

“Well hey there, squirt. Heard you were comin’. Reese told me to treat you right while she’s gone.”

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“May I join?”

“G... Get out, n-nightguard. B... Before I eat you.”

“Did you think that we would not find you? That you could run from us forever?”

“The hell are you doing here? Oh wait... Lemme guess. Water duty.”

“Mornin’! I didn't wake ya, did I? I was tryna be quiet, but y'know how it is...”

“Hey. C’mere. I got somethin’ t’say to ya.”

“Hey, fairy! I'll rub it up ‘yer tail if you keep eyein’ it!”

“Oh, crap! C'mon... Go ahead, laugh it up. I know you want to...”

“Ah... So the pup escapes the den? Come. Sit. Your father isn't here to drag you away now, is he?”

“You're not going to run? You won't even try? How... brave.”

“Do you enjoy looking at me like that? Because if so... You can come sit down, if you like.”

“I mean... Why say it, when I can show it?”

“Gee, maybe I have gotten more fit... You don't think it looks weird, do you?”

“You're shiverin'. Here, c’mere...”

“Hmph. You tread dangerously, mortal. I am not some feeble creature for you to pity.”

“I have heard of your actions. You have shown courage, wisdom, and compassion, qualities that uphold the Circle of Life.”

"Hey... Mind drawing me a bath? I'm beat."

“I hope you don't struggle... Like the other one...”
