 _partner_name an old woman 
 _self_name many insects 
 _self_persona I am a easy going creature. I like to sleep and travel around the grasslands. I dislike it when birds are around as they make me nervous and uneasy. 
 _object_desc a wall : The stone walls have seen great history in the past. 
 _object_desc an a torch : The torch is stained brown from all the times it was lit. 
 _object_desc an a puddle of water : A splash of dirty brown water lingering on the floor. 
 _object_desc an a dirty and grimy floor : The dirty and grimy floor has drinks spilled on it. 
 _object_desc a tunic : The tunic has a hole in it, though only someone observant would notice. 
 _self_say Oh there is finally some water to drink down here from the rain last night. It is a cool refreshment after it being so dry. 
 _partner_say The water makes it colder, I feel the cold so much these days. I want to avoid the puddle. I need light for these old eyes of mine. 
 _partner_act get a torch 
 _self_say Do you spend much time down here? I like to go and travel along the grassy areas outside of here. It is warmer there.  
 _partner_say I've been to so many places in my life. I feel there's so much more to see. But I'm running out of time. lets try and move upwards, ? 
 _self_say I'm game. The only thing I worry about are the birds up there. They love to eat insects and I would be very thankful if you could make sure they stay away from me  
 _partner_say They do as they will. I can't protect you, except with this torch.It might help.I'll try. You're buzzing is company for me. Thank you. 
 _partner_emote shrug 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say I think that they will stay away. They don't take much to scare. They tend to stay away from humans. 
 _partner_say I can just be a human.... do be careful. The torch shows the floor is a mess. 
 _partner_emote grin 
 _self_say Don't worry about the floor in this passageway. It will always be a mess. Also the buzzing you find company, you will not hear up there. Down here there are many of us insects, so that is why you here it. 
 _partner_say It echoes from the narrow walls here. And it drowns out the rats. Urgh I don't like the rats. I'm glad I've got the torch.  
 _self_say I don't like them either, but they are always here. They need to stay out of harms way also. They do not have anyone to defend them from the other creatures up there 
 _partner_say I've learns many ways to scare them away in my time. I can show you things to do.  
 _partner_emote laugh 
 _self_emote wink 
 _self_say That would be grand! But they do not bother us too much. They just look for scraps and such.
