A.P. 238/5/10/16:00
Cabracan: Not around as usual, I see...
Echo: Hmm? You're not gonna go any further?
Cabracan: There's some scary monsters that live up ahead. If we wind up having to deal with them, we could end up in serious trouble.
Echo: No need to worry. We're with you, and we can handle just about anything.
Cabracan: Or rather, our friend here can handle it. Not you, yeah?
(the protagonist and Echo look at each other before turning back to Cabracan)
Echo: Sh-Shut up!
(the party feels an earthquake)
Echo: Wh-What's with this vibration!?
(An Orgbran then appears from the water and stands before them)
Cabracan: They're here! Why!? We weren't making much noise!
(Echo spots something in the distance)
Echo: Whoa. Have a look over there!
Cabracan: Ahh...! It's Camelot! What're you doing there!?
Echo: Probably got lost or something, right? But that's not important right now. We gotta get your friend outta here!
(Echo looks at the protagonist who nods)
Echo: We'll draw their attention, while you get your friend to safety!
Cabracan: S-Seriously!? I can't ask you to do something that dangerous!
Echo: There are times where you gotta do what you gotta do, regardless of the risk. And this is one of those times!
(Cabracan goes to their friend while the protagonist and Echo battle the Orgbran)
A.P. 238/5/10 17:00
Echo: *huff* *pant* That was a close one...
(Cabracan goes back to the duo with Camelot)
Cabracan: Man...when push comes to shove, you guys sure can handle yourselves!
Echo: No need to thanks us. Are you...? Ah, it looks like you're okay.
Cabracan: Yeah. Camelot and I are lively as ever, as you can see.
(some time passes and they find the source of the distress signal)
Echo: Well, that solves the mystery of the distress signal. We must've set off the transmitter while we were lost.
Echo: But why is an ARKS device here in the first place? That seems strange... Maybe someone dropped it?
(Cabracan goes to Echo)
Cabracan: ...Say, missy? Thank ya. I mean it.
Echo: Huh? Oh, uh...no big deal... I really didn't do much, anyway.
Cabracan: That's not even remotely true, y'know.
Cabracan: You might not be very strong. You're selfish and scatterbrained. And I can hardly stand your enthusiasm.
Echo: That's not helping...
Cabracan: But I see it now. You were doing your best to look for my friend. And found them for me.
Cabracan: So you should hold your head up high and know that I'm grateful.
Echo: I swear...
Cabracan: But don't let it go to your head. We're not the only victims here, so you got more work to do!
(Echo grabs her sword and tries to hit Cabracan with it)
Cabracan: Whoa! Watch it! What're you goin', moron!?
Echo: Sorry about that. There was an enemy right next to you.
Cabracan: You were clearly aimin' for ME!
Echo: Shuddap! Get outta here! I found your friend for you, so just take them and go!
Cabracan: I planned on it! But boy, did I make a mistake being grateful to you! Thanks, regardless!
Echo: Hmph! You're welcome!
(Cabracan waves goodbye to the protagonist and leaves with Camelot)
Echo: Phew, I'm beat. We should probably head back too, yeah?
