"What are your names...?" Ryu asks.
"I'm Samantha! Hi hi!" Samantha beams, bouncing up to the dragon and randomly giving him a hug. The dragon looks surprised, gently pushing Samantha off.
"Yeah, I have a thing called personal space..." Ryu hinted. Samantha tilts her head slightly before straightening and nodding.
"Sorry." Samantha chirps.
Ryu smiles, "It's alright."

"Well that's been the easiest battle I've probably ever fought." She looked stunned for a moment watching everything fall apart in Oran's plan. She readied her own broadsword.

Nikkie stops both you and Oran from attacking each other. "Oran, we just want answers. Answers on where the exit is. I promise we will leave you alone after that - only if you leave us alone and ensure us a safe pass to the exit."
Oran snorts, "Are you positive that's all you want? The information and a safe pass to the exit?"
"And a promise that we'll never have to be chosen to come in here again." Nikkie adds, "That would be nice as well, if you could do that."
Oran laughs, "It would come with a price. If you want all of that, you have to pay a price."

She raised an eyebrow. "That price wouldn't be one of us dying, would it? If not, what would be the price?" She looked quite skeptical that Oran would do all that even if they did pay the price. She went into a more relaxed position with the broadsword at her side. She would still be prepared if he decided to attack though.

"Well, I need someone to replace Feadaow..." Oran starts. Nikkie curses under his breath. Oran smirks and continues, "Because no matter how much I'd enjoy killing you both, it would be more benefitcial to have one of you work for me. Now, the monsters here get a little bit crazy each month when they don't have any tribute to eat, so I'd suggest telling the officials what's happened and they need to send in another tribute. OR you could just submit and give up and stop looking for an exit that may not exist. And you'd have to pay whether or not the exit exists."
Nikkie raises his hand, "I volunteer to stay if, and only if, we decide on making the deal..."

"Nikkie... You don't have to do that..." Her voice trailed off. "You're absolutely evil, Oran."

Oran cackles, "Why thank you! I love knowing that I am doing my job correctly."
"Of course I have to! You were the whole reason we took upon ourselves the quest of finding the exit, and I'm planning on you succeeding. Plus, as Oran keeps pointing out, I would have no where to turn to and it would probably be best if I just stay stuck in this place anyways. Who knows, I might help other tributes find the way out." Nikkie says, pinching his nose so it would stop bleeding.

"I'm the whole reason, huh? You didn't want to get out of this place?" She seemed confused for a moment before hugging Nikkie herself. "Why would you sacrifice yourself to save me twice?"

Nikkie remembers not to hug you back since he had promised not to hug you again. "I know what it's like to want something but have seemingly everything else pull you away from it. Also, if you have something outside of this dismal place, I want you to get back to it. I don't have anything to look forward to, but you do. So, I want you to live life to its fullest." He says.
Oran sighs, "Are we done with all of this emotional stuff? I want to get to the part where you agree with handing someone over."
Nikkie leaves the final decision up to you.

She looked absolutely defeated. "If Nikkie insists... I guess it's fine." She said in a small voice.
