”Oh, so the curse is telling the truth, huh? That doesn’t seem so bad, I’m cursed all the time then!” He noted with a grin. “Nothin’ like a little bit of a curse to really strengthen the bonds between your pals, right, guys?”
Launchpad leaned down to whisper to Gyro, a hand coming up as if to hide his beak from Scrooge. “But uh.. Are you sure it’s not somethin’ else, Gyro? Cause how’d he say that one thing with his mouth?”
He grumbled a cuss to himself and rubbed at his beak. Patience, he needed to be patient with others. This was fine, probably. “ … Right. We’re all going to go and bring back that jewel he’s holding. “
Gyro peered at Launchpad. “ … Well, I guess he’s right about part of his statement addressing you, “ he mumbled, rolling his eyes. He pulled Launchpad closer so he could whisper,“ He’s absolutely cursed. We need to keep him here.”
“Take back the jewel, make sure Mr. McD Mr. McSits. Got it.” He whispered back with a wink, reaching into his jacket pocket and fishing out a roll of electrical tape.
“Well, Mr. McDuck, we’re definitely gonna stay here!” He said loudly as if he were a 5-year old actor in a children’s play. Launchpad crept closer to Scrooge, tugging at the tape in his hands and getting ready to bind the billionaire. “Yep. Me, you, Gyro, and the cursed artifact! No need to look behind you! Because we gotta look forward! Forward for 5 more minutes.”
Scrooge grumbled and rolled his eyes toward Gyro while being taped to the seat. Well at least it was a short flight. He mentally prepared himself to do the unthinkable and bring back the accursed treasure…because he was Honest McDuck and it was the right thing to do. He liked to consider himself an honest person at this moment he felt stuck in some morality play.
“I think this is probably dangerous if we crash you know,” he said struggling in his seat.
