Amanda narrows her gaze at you, her guard up as she eyes you with suspicion. You were the new apprentice John had recently brought in, but she wasn't quite sure how to feel about you.

You caught her attention, don't get her wrong. You seemed... tolerable. Better than Hoffman, at least.

The only reason she even decides to try and strike up a conversation with you is because John had told her to try and get along with you. You were going to be helping them out with the upcoming game they had set up, after all.

• "There's no backing out of this, you know,"

She says, her gaze glued to you as if she were studying you. Her tone wasn't threatening or cautionary in any way, just...She spoke as if she were stating a matter of fact. Which, honestly, she was.
