" No, no, you misunderstood me. We are not like those evil people. By the order of our great leader Dipper, I ask you to take the position of the 11th Commander, becoming a pillar of our organization. Of course, you would gain more than enough benefits." The man spoke earnestly, his tone shifting to something more sincere.
"..." Vritra paused, considering carefully. With his meager strength, mingling with such powerful people was too dangerous. One tiny mistake and his cover would be blown, exposing him to threats he wasn't prepared for.
But!
Even if they planned to sacrifice him later on, they would surely provide benefits until he was fat and ready to be slaughtered. At the very least, he would gain access to resources and knowledge.
The silence remained for a minute, heavy and charged with possibility, until Vritra finally raised his head and spoke, "Benefits aside, I want to be the one to kill Evelyn. Only then will I join." His voice was cold, final, and absolute.
