"Turn off the torch!" I hissed into my headset. "Everyone will spot us!" I felt my pulse quicken as we moved into the dark clearing. "Every elf and bounty hunter in the forest can see us coming!"
In the top corner of my screen I noticed Isaac rolling his eyes. "What do you want to do, Mariah, stay hidden forever? We're way too far from the portal."
Although I enjoyed playing Crystal Portal with Isaac, sometimes his strategy made me wonder if he truly understood the game. We would be much more effective if we were stealthy; we needed just a little more time to plan. We were so close to finding the portal, and I wished he would listen to me for once.
Issac started cycling through his tools, selecting his fireballs. I felt my stomach tighten into a knot.
"Not the fireballs, Isaac! We need to organize first!" I shouted. But Isaac wasn't listening, and I knew the portal would have to wait. As best I could, I prepared for the impending ambush. I selected chain mail armor and an invisibility potion.
"Anyone that's still in the game is going to be dangerous," I pointed out.
"Nah, with hardly anyone left, this will be easy!" Isaac retorted. "Let's go!" I noticed Isaac's eyes narrow with concentration as his avatar charged into the darkness. I rapidly pressed buttons on my controller, and my character sprinted through the shadows. My heart raced, hands covered in sweat. Suddenly, I dropped my controller.
"Isaac, wait!" I pleaded.
Which of the following most likely describes Isaac's opinion of Mariah as a fellow gamer?
