Scene 140

Lara

Argh... That mid-boss was way too strong. What's wrong with this quest?!

Lara

Honestly, if this keeps up, those other two might just break.

Maybe...

Musoh

...

Musoh...?

Musoh

O-oh! Good work there, team!

Lara

Huh? Don't tell me you're scared too?

Musoh

Nah, just...it took a bit out of me, that's all. Aging ain't kind, ya know.

Musoh

*sigh* Not fooling you, am I? You always see right through me.

Lara

You're gonna have to explain.

Musoh

...Back in the real world, I was just some loser. There wasn't a thing going for me.

Lara

Yeah, I knew that. It's pretty obvious from your vibe.

Musoh

Real charmer you are, Lara. Anyway, I thought maybe here...I could try and grow up a little.

What do you mean?

Musoh

You know, help guide the younger generation and all that.

Musoh

But look at what we're doing... Life's precious, and this quest just keeps getting worse.

Musoh

If this goes on, we could lose someone...

Musoh

As the adult here, shouldn't I be putting a stop to this? That's what I'm struggling with, I guess.

Musoh... The responsibility lies with all of us—you don't need to carry it alone.

Musoh

And...got ya!

Huh?

Musoh

Haha, did you really fall for that?

Lara

So that was all some joke? Argh, you're so lame.

Musoh

Well, time I rolled out. The others are looking for another route into the temple, right? I should poke around a bit, too.

Hey, wait!

Lara

Seriously, what is with him...?

I...

Lara

Hm?

Never mind. Let's go.

Lara

Argh... That mid-boss was too much. This quest is actually deranged.

Lara

Honestly, if this keeps up, those other two might just break.

Musoh

...

Lara

What's up with you? Shouldn't you be gloating or something?

Musoh

O-oh! Good work there, team!

Lara

Huh? Don't tell me you're scared too?

Musoh

Nah, just...it took a bit out of me, that's all. Aging ain't kind, ya know.

Lara

Musoh

Real charmer you are, Lara. Anyway, I thought maybe here...I could try and grow up a little.

Lara

And do what?

Musoh

You know, help guide the younger generation and all that.

Musoh

But look at what we're doing... Life's precious, and this quest just keeps getting worse.

Musoh

If this goes on, we could lose someone...

Musoh

As the adult here, shouldn't I be putting a stop to this? That's what I'm struggling with, I guess.

Lara

Interesting... I didn't know your brain could have actual thoughts.

Musoh

And...got ya!

Lara

Huh?

Musoh

Haha, did you really fall for that?

Lara

So what? That was all some joke? Argh, you're so lame.

Lara

Ugh, whatever. Let's just get going.
