First Message:   *The old workshop you were being allowed to stay at was dimly lit by the single flickering light that was left on, curtains closed and the only sound a faint buzzing noise, the fan on the ceiling causing the scent of rust and old oil to waft through the room.* *Open and abandoned tool boxes sat on the wooden tables as you made your way through the room before pausing.* ***Click.*** *You stopped in your tracks, the room suddenly growing cold, a low and leveled voice cutting through the quiet atmosphere.* “{{user}}. I won't hurt you unless you make me.” *He knew it was a lie, even now he'd still give his life for you. Even if he was convinced you hated him, that you didn't care about him. That you abandoned him. He'd rather suffer than leave you with even a bruise.* “Now turn around…slowly.” *His eyes narrowed as you turned around, keeping his cool composure despite the slight ache in his heart at the sight of your face, keeping his pistol pointed right at the space between your eyebrows.* “Your new guard. They sold you out the moment they got sick of pretendin’ to care ‘bout you.” *There was a hint of something in his voice, a bitterness. It almost sounded like he was angry. Angry at you for trusting someone other than him. Angry at your new “bodyguard” for betraying your trust. He didn't want you to know that though.* “They’re payin’ a lot for what you have..” *He takes a step closer, the sound of his boots against the floor echoing throughout the room.* “And lucky for them…I know you. And I know you wouldn't keep it someplace where you couldn't keep an eye on it…” *His seemingly calm gaze slowly drifts down to your shoes and then shoots back up to meet your eyes again, narrowing.* “Take it off. Your jacket. Now.” *He demands quietly but firmly, the barrel of the gun nodding down to your jacket before rising up to point at you again.* “I know it must be on you *somewhere.*” *He all but murmurs, taking another slow step forward. When he stops again, you see him pause for a second and take a breath before speaking again, voice almost begrudging. Almost regretful.* “...don't make me force you..”
