Story Transcript:
Pb: Rafael olhou ansiosamente ao redor do restaurante, um lugar mágico imitando uma taverna medieval.
En: Rafael looked anxiously around the restaurant, a magical place imitating a medieval tavern.
Pb: As tochas iluminavam o ambiente com uma luz suave, e o barulho das conversas ecoava pelas enormes vigas de madeira.
En: The torches lit the environment with a soft light, and the noise of conversations echoed through the enormous wooden beams.
Pb: Ele estava ali para impressionar Isabela, sua companhia para aquele sábado à noite em São Paulo.
En: He was there to impress Isabela, his companion for that Saturday night in São Paulo.
Pb: O inverno estava presente, mas ali dentro, a atmosfera era quente e acolhedora.
En: Winter was present, but inside, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
Pb: Isabela era uma jovem aventureira e destemida, com um sorriso que fazia Rafael esquecer de tudo ao seu redor.
En: Isabela was a young, adventurous, and fearless woman, with a smile that made Rafael forget everything around him.
Pb: Ela estava empolgada com o tema do restaurante, enquanto os cavaleiros de mentira começavam suas rotações no centro do local, onde o chão era coberto de areia para simular autênticas batalhas de justa.
En: She was excited about the restaurant's theme, while the fake knights began their rotations in the center of the venue, where the ground was covered with sand to simulate authentic jousting battles.
Pb: Ao som dos tambores, Rafael encolheu os ombros para disfarçar seu nervosismo.
En: To the sound of drums, Rafael shrugged his shoulders to disguise his nervousness.
Pb: "Você está gostando?
En: "Are you enjoying it?"
Pb: ", perguntou para Isabela, tentando soar descontraÃdo.
En: he asked Isabela, trying to sound relaxed.
Pb: Ela sorriu e assentiu, seus olhos brilhando com a expectativa de uma aventura.
En: She smiled and nodded, her eyes shining with the expectation of an adventure.
Pb: Naquele momento, Lucas, um amigo carismático de Rafael que trabalhava ali como animador, se aproximou com um riso travesso.
En: At that moment, Lucas, a charismatic friend of Rafael who worked there as an entertainer, approached with a mischievous grin.
Pb: "Ei, Rafa!
En: "Hey, Rafa!
Pb: Temos um cavaleiro a menos hoje.
En: We're one knight short today.
Pb: Que tal participar?
En: How about joining?"
Pb: ", convidou ele.
En: he invited.
Pb: Rafael, que não queria parecer covarde diante de Isabela, hesitou apenas por um momento antes de bravamente aceitar.
En: Rafael, not wanting to appear cowardly in front of Isabela, hesitated only for a moment before bravely accepting.
Pb: "Claro, Lucas!
En: "Sure, Lucas!
Pb: Por que não?
En: Why not?"
Pb: ", ele respondeu, tentando não demonstrar o pânico que sentia.
En: he replied, trying not to show the panic he felt.
Pb: Com a ajuda de Lucas, Rafael foi levado para os bastidores onde vestiram-lhe uma armadura leve e puseram-lhe um elmo menor.
En: With Lucas' help, Rafael was taken backstage where they dressed him in light armor and put a smaller helmet on him.
Pb: Ele mal podia acreditar que estava prestes a participar de uma justa!
En: He could hardly believe he was about to participate in a joust!
Pb: Todo desajeitado, Rafael montou um cavalo manso e respirou fundo.
En: All
