[color=orange][b]"Yup. Demon lad told you to fight so-"[/b][/color] His grandpa started.

[color=00a99d]"Ow."[/color] Victor said as the girl grabbed his leg.
It appeared that the girl had him in some kind of hold. More pain today, which kind of sucked.
[color=00a99d]"You know, I only have your word for it that we have to fight."[/color] Victor grunted. [color=00a99d]"How do you know we have to fight, anyway?"[/color]

[color=orange][b]"When you're put on one side with someone else on the other and a knife between you, what else are you supposed to do?"[/b][/color] His grandpa said helpfully.

[color=00a99d]"Demon guy's exact words?"[/color] Victor whispered urgently, quietly enough for the girl not to hear.
His grandpa sighed, because he knew Victor would try to weasel out of exerting effort any way he could.

[color=Orange][b]"He said he shouldn't have to explain anything else."[/b][/color] His grandpa sighed.

[color=00a99d]"My brilliant clairvoyant mind has told me that we don't actually have to fight."[/color] Victor said quickly, struggling against the hold. [color=00a99d]"And if you let me go I'll tell you exactly why. So stop being dumb and let me go for a minute!"[/color]
