"Okay let's try this." I pull another camouflaged sheet over the wall.
"Look blondie, not that your art doesn't look incredibly realistic, but... are we sure this could work?" Eugene raises an eyebrow.
"Well... I think it's worth a shot." I smile.
"Yeah, but we don't even know who or what is causing all this." Eugene says.
"True... but we have to try out every idea we can think of." I smile.
I turn. I see Hector leaning on the fence. He looks down at the ship.
"Blondie?" Eugene asks.
"Does he look... stressed?" I ask pointing at Hector.
"Well... he looks broody." Eugene says.
"Did you see how weird he acted in the Grand Hall?" I ask.
"Weird is not the word I would use." I say.
"Never mind." I say.
"I'm not going back out there." The captain says walking over.
I turn to him.
"What? Why not?" I ask.
"It's too dangerous." The captain says.
"I know... it may seem scary, but you have to try for the fate of our kingdom." I say.
"But princess! I heard a creature's blood curdling scream!" The captain yells.
"Hey, hey, how'd you know it will attack again? Maybe it was just scared." I point out.
I put my hand on my shoulder.
"You're right princess. I will try." The captain straightens his hat.
"Good for you! Go on! Face it!" I smile.
"And try not to die." Eugene mutters.
