"Huh? What do you want?"
"You do not have enough people to help the poor here. Let me do some charity work for you."
"Yeah? And what's one more guy going to do there that the other bunch aren't already doing?"
"No doubt something a lot more useful than sitting around here hearing the ringing of the keys. Do you even want to be here?"
"No, but they gave me orders to let you stay in there and shut you up while everyone does their job, so shush." Jerome hits the lock of your cage, wanting to end the conversation so he can get through the day faster.
"I am not here by choice either! Don't you feel upset seeing all these people being unable to simply live and be with their families?"
"A little bit, yeah. But what am I supposed to do, cry for them?"
"You could set me free, for starters."
"I wasn't paying attention to the debriefing today, but I've heard the word 'Phantom' enough times to last a lifetime, so no can do. I know you can probably release a bunch of arcane shit at people if they upset you, so let's not be hasty about our decisions, ok? I can only take so many salary cuts." Jerome says without even turning his head back into the clouds.
Wow, this guy really has the drive of a scarecrow. There's gotta be a way for even him to get motivated.
<span class="mu-i">"Jerome! What are you doing with your pants down?"</span> You mimic Azan's voice inside his head, distracting Jerome as he looked downwards and moved his wrists down. And that's when you bit the key ring and snatched it out of his fingers.
"Wha-HEY! Give that back!" Jerome puts his hands inside the bars, but can't quite reach you in there.
"This would be harder to do if you cared about your job."
"Look, I really don't care about you, or whatever crime you're here for, just don't get me into trouble!" He tries to reason.
"If I willingly got into the cage before, you have nothing to be worried about. If anyone asks, just say I used my ghost powers to phase out of the cell."
"Grr..." Jerome covers your cage with a rag, letting you out while your hands were still restricted.
"Damn it, I just wanted to check the girls out. Why did you have to get captured by Farnese anyway?" Jerome straps you to his horse as you stay behind him, explaining to his colleagues that you needed to take a piss.
"You see a pile of refugees, and the first thing that goes through your mind is the hot women around?"
"After hearing the nagging of Farnese in your ear, anyone with a different voice sounds like an angel to my ears... Alright, where do you want to go, hero? You're already feeling like a second boss..."
>Let's see how Farnese is treating the poor.>Let's help them get more rations.>Serpico might need some help with the Kushan group.>You wanted to see the women, right? Let's go for it.
