“Hello?” Ace said from the doorframe, a lit flashlight in hand pointing at the interior of the abandoned house. He moved the flashlight around, but all he found was dust over moldy furniture.
“It’s not like a ghost would just come out and talk to you all of a sudden” said Deuce behind him, arms crossed
“Oh, come on, Deu! I already told you it’ll be fun!”
“Fun for your health? I think not.” he looked at the crumbling ceiling “I wonder if this thing was built with asbestos”
“Who cares. It’s a one-time thing! How about this. Next time, you won’t have to accompany me to go ghost-hunting. Deal?”
He stared and him and blinked “Ace, I’d much rather babysit you than let you die because you have 0 restraints. Though it’d be ideal if, you know. I didn’t have to do it.”
“All right, all right” Ace pouted “But we’re already here. We can’t just go away!”
Deuce sighed “Very well, then. This is is the last time, but next time you want to go on an ‘adventure’ like this, I have the full ability to not let you , and you won’t be able to refuse or look for some sort of loophole. Do you understand, Ace?”
He sighed “...sure” he took off “but only if you catch me!”
“Be careful!” He tried calling out, but Ace was already somewhere else inspecting random objects he found lying around
