❝𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠... 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.❞

The group looked at Ocean and before anyone else Ocean spoke up "Why?" she asked in a scared voice before looking around at the group, she walked over to Charlie and gently grabbed her arm, Charlie looked at Ocean with a confused look. Ocean gently pulled Charlie next to Karnak. 

❝𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐬, 𝐢𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩.❞

Charlie looked at Karnak and then at Ocean before Charlie could ask Ocean what she was doing. Ocean started to talk to Karnak "It's just, when you tie the room together... I think Charlie is going to seem like the natural choice for that slot." she said and pointed to Charlie. "You want me to go first?" Charlie asked Ocean and looked at her with a surprised look.  "Oh, if you insist, um...Mister Whatever? I think Charlie and I are going to tradesies." Ocean said to Karnak and looked at the teen. Charlie looked at Ocean and shook her head and mouthed 'No!' she looked at Ocean.

❝𝐍𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬.❞

Charlie looked at Ocean and pointed to Karnak and started to walk back over to the group. "I'm happy about that, actually. Sure, I'll go first. I just want to say two things. I don't know how it is in your culture, but in ours, playing games where people's lives are on the table? Super illegal. Second, I really love your turban. It really brings out your eyes" Ocean said and went to stand next to Karnak. She pulled a lever and picture of baby Ocean came up.
