"I'll be fine!" Grashglik barks, steam bursting from his head, "I always am! That's the one thing about this new life, no matter what situation I throw myself in, I always end up coming back, yearning for more! So don't waste your breath worrying about me!"
"Giiiible, gibaaaaa!"
"G-Giiiiibaaaa!"
As the conversation continues, Grashglik cuts down and swats away all of the rampaging Gibles with all the strength he can possibly muster, all the while boulders continue to plummet all around him. Despite his rough words of reassurance, you know that anyone with half a mind can see that staying here for even a minute too long is like willingly throwing yourself into the abyss, and you're quite sure he knows that too, deep down.
You open your mouth to persist the argument out of the goodness in your heroic heart, "But--!"
But you are swiftly shot down.
"Gahhh! For god's sake," he scoffs, "I'm practically GIVING you the day's victory, and yet you still stand there as if you have anything to lose from it but another adversary of the hour! Do I need to spell it out for you? Get out of here!"
A) "That's the thing, adversaries are people too! Lowering yourself does nothing but kill your self-esteem!"
B) "So what you're saying is that you're a lost cause?"
C) "Fine, but only on one condition: Some day in the future, we meet up again, and we finish this for good!"
D) Admit defeat and leave him be.
