PETER
This is... a touch awkward, isn’t it? At least it’s a familiar place for Peter to be wallowing in, in a conversation. Pursing his lips, he looks over into the depths of the jungle, then back, towards the beach and civilization. The last place he looks is up, squinting at the scraps of sky that tease their way through a canopy of leaves. ”I... wasn’t planning on heading back so soon.” He begins, ever apologetic. ”But if... if you insist, I could maybe... maybe walk with you to the beach?” It was still back tracking, yes, but less, an amount easier to forgive. If it was needed of him.
Gold and gems, huh? As much as he hates to admit it, as much as he should know better, Peter is interested. ”That’s handy.” Once again, his head swivels to take in the jungle, a part of him that is completely without sense wondering if maybe, he could just stumble across it, wandering back and forth without a map.
Peter has worlds of experience with every kind of thug and lowlife, every kind of person who talks with a weapon before their words. He has absolutely none with charlatans and grifters. It’s convenient the other man knows of the treasure, that he knows of a map, that they’ve come across each other in this place. And how lucky he is to be here, at the center of that coincidence. But there must be some dilemma, some reason the man doesn’t already have it. ”Do you need help getting it?”

I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I wanna go
But I know where I wanna go
