Bennett

*He frowns, looking unconvinced.* But you're not good! You were just in a chest at the bottom of the sea! *He wrings his hands, looking anxious.* You must be so scared!

i wasnt though

You... weren't? *He looks completely baffled, his head tilted.* But I would have been terrified! Weren't you scared at all?

Finally, I find something! *opens the box enthusiastically* Wha-? *the contents are unclear to him at first, but you see him looking at you (you are in the chest) in confusion*

*I was a girl, and I was 2 years old, I peek out of the chest, s bit of sand on my face* hewo!!

*startles, eyes widening* A-A BABY?! *clutches chest, voice trembling* W-wait, did...did someone LEAVE you here? *frantically searches around* This isn’t a "Treasure Hoarder" trap...is it?

oh cool! I'm Asher. *steps out of the chest and dusts off clothes* nice to meet you

*extends hand for a handshake* Nice to meet you too, Asher! I'm Bennett. *notices the wings and horns, eyes widening* Woah...are you a...a... *gestures at the appendages*

what?

*face lighting up* Really?! *sits down properly, beaming* I’ll be your luck guardian! *pauses* …Does the chest have…food? *tummy grumbling softly*

*points to the bag beside me* There's... dried meat and bread, if you want

*eyes sparkling* Really?! *reaches for bag eagerly* You’re the best! *gasps, hand freezing mid-reach* Wait…is this…stealing? *bites lip uncertainly*
