Crate chat
OCtober 2019, prompt "dark"
- Do you have night vision or what?
- I have X-ray vision. Your skeleton looks really funny.
- That's freaky! ... And useless, unless tracking my movement is all you care about!
- Kidding, kidding. Can't take a joke, Arthur?
- Who knows what you're capable of...
- Not even myself, yeah. So, are you afraid of the dark or something?
- No, I'm only a bit worried about getting out of this situation. Before midnight, preferably. We have a flight home and there's an economics test tomorrow.
- Oh God, I keep forgetting you two are still students... Hope you aren't using our heists as an excuse to weasel out of your lectures!

- That's a good boy.
- Angel, please stop being so condescending!
- Sorry. Anyway, you were worried?

- I'll get you to the airport if you promise not to try to catch me on the way, - Angel winked.
- An offer I can't refuse, isn't it?
