[He's quick to bounce back though, even though his shoulder stings a lot. Franziska mentioned a reward, after all!]

Oh! D-Does this mean you're finally gonna let me use you as a model if I do a good job at introducing you to the colony? I've got a business going here, y'know!

[Larry she just got here.]

[gerte]

No and no. I refuse to be your model. Actually, I had something else in mind for someone as foolishly foolish as you.

The only reward you'll receive is more whipping! You still insist on making me your model?

[Why....it's like times haven't changed at all. That's exactly how he was last time they spoke.]

[failures]

How is that a reward?!

[At least Larry recognizes a terrible deal when he sees one.

...Okay, sometimes he does.]

But...yeah! I'm just as serious as I've always been, Franzy. You'd be a perfect model to be featured in an illustrated book!

[gerte]

It's the best reward I can offer.

I hardly doubt that you can replicate my beautiful appearance with your artistic talents. Hypothetically speaking, let's say I agree to your proposal.

Tell me what your story would be about.

[She actually wants to know.]

[failures]

Heyyy! I've already gotten you down once! And you said you liked it!!

[Her exact words were more like "I recognize the effort that you put into it," but obviously he's remembering it wrong.]

As for the book, well! As you know, it's gonna be called "Franzy's Whip Lash Splash"! I...haven't really thought a ton about the story yet, actually, just that it'd be beach themed! Hence the "splash", y'know?

So...this setting would be pretty perfect for that, if we weren't stuck in a huge sandcastle.

[gerte]

When did I say that I liked it? I believe you must be mistaken, fool.

[ Larry does put effort into his art, it's true. His drawings helped with a few cases before. That much Franziska will admit. ]

Get us out of here and you can draw as much as you please. The exit's waiting for us.

[failures]

Y-You're serious? You're actually gonna let me draw you?! Let's go then!

[WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT HIM BEING MISTAKEN? That part is entirely forgotten, unfortunately.]

I bet you it's around here somewhere! If not...maybe we can dig our way out?

[gerte]

Then get digging. You'll need a tool for that unless you're willing to use your hands.

Well, are you?

[ She sure as hell isnt ready to get sand stuck in her nails.]

[failures]

Caaaan we check to see if I don't have to do that first?

[He's glancing nervously down the hallway of the castle. Like, he's totally fine with doing this if he ends up having to, but if he doesn't have to...]

[gerte]

That would be wise. I'll continue looking. Don't loiter around or else I'll whip you, fool!

[ Franziska's okay with Larry's idea but she still kinda wants to hit him. ]
