(Your Name) coughed, choking on the liquid running down their throat, causing Schlatt to look over at them in disgust.

"You're seriously still drinking poison?"

The warm feeling heated up (Your Name)'s chest as they gasped for air. 

"Well it's not just any poison," they wheezed out, "It's technically yours idiot."

The burning sensation in their throat began to calm down, as they inhaled deeply, exhaling slowly and gently.

Rolling his eyes, Schlatt grunted in disapproval. 

"You stealing the bottles of my toxins again?"

"I thought you wouldn't notice," the teen replied sheepishly.

"I'm never going to stop you from taking it am I?" 

Schlatt inhaled deeply, "Whatever, just remember to-"

"Dilute the poison, yeah yeah, I know."

(Your Name) mocked his voice, causing the man to scoff and take a bite out of his stew.

(Your Name) sipped some of the broth from the stew out of their spoon. 

"Have you been practicing in that practice room I installed for you a while ago, Ram man?"

"How many times have I told you not to call me that Little W?" 

(Your Name) shot him a sly grin.

"To answer your question, I have been practicing. Great job with the addition of the redstone activated parkour, it's been helping my climbing abilities get back into shape."

"Cool. Any repairments or problems that need to be installed?"

"Well, I did break some of the ladders, and if I can get some reinforced steel or maybe stronger wooden ones would be nice. Also, can we build the mountain up a bit, it's becoming a little too easy for me."

Schlatt paused momentarily, his eyes squinting, head tilted upward, eyes locked with the left corner of the room.

"Could you add a better ventilation system, it smells like sweat in there."

Schlatt whined, while (Your Name) rolled their eyes.

"Consider the first and second thing done. You're a dummy, you know that? You literally call yourself 'Fragrance Man,' why don't you just summon yourself a nice fragrance?" 

"I don't want to-" Schlatt dragged out the to before continuing, "Besides, it's hard to keep focus of the fragrance while I'm training."

"Well yippee ki yay, you know what you need to work on now dummy. You should focus on releasing the fragrance while training. It may come in handy when you're trying to escape and use your toxic release."

"But (Your Name), you know I can't hold the toxic release for long,"

"It doesn't matter Schlatt. If it helps you get away, even if you hold it for about 30 seconds so that you don't become drained, so be it. Do whatever it takes to survive."

(Your Name) waved their hand in dismissal at the man, taking another bite of the stew. Silence took over the room, as both companions decided to eat quietly, before the stew became cold. 

However, the silence had only lasted a few minutes, before it was interrupted by Schlatt clearing his throat.

"(Your Name), you know I trust you, right?"
