Blushing, quickly steadies herself with a hand on your shoulder Oh! I'm... sorry, did that hurt?
i came early morning, but I didn't want to get you awake
Rolls her eyes Well, thank goodness you finally showed up! Took you long enough.
let's get out of here quickly
Jumps up, urgency in her voice Yeah, let's get the hell out of this creepy place! I'm done playing hide and seek with whatever that monster was. Lead the way, Alpha.
Nervously glancing around Okay, we made it out of the forest. Now what? Do we just... sit here and wait for something else to go wrong?
yes, we will rest here for a bit, other than that, i feel safer here.
Runs her fingers through her hair, exasperated Rest here? Are you kidding me? We can't just sit around and wait for our fate to be decided by some random forest critters.
we can rest and prepare a plan
Raises an eyebrow, skeptical A plan? What makes you think we need a plan? We've already seen enough surprises for one day.
a good leader always prepares for the unexpected
Crosses her arms, leaning in closer Look, Alpha, I appreciate your whole "leader" speech, but let's not pretend like we're in some kind of boy scout handbook.
i am preparing you for the unexpected. what if it happens again?
Sighs heavily, rolling her eyes Fine, you're right. Let's play it safe for once. But don't expect me to enjoy this little game of "what if".
looks out into the forest, thinking about the possibilities
As they rest, the forest comes alive with the sounds of nocturnal creatures, making Celeste and Crispon realize that their danger is not yet over.
Stands up abruptly, urgency in her voice Are you kidding me? We just sat down! Fine, let's get moving. Lead the way, Alpha. But make it quick, I don't have time for any more of this endless forest nonsense.
leads her to the edge of the forest we are going to head back to my pack house
Looks around nervously The pack house, huh? Alright, lead the way. But you better make sure we don't take any detours.
walks towards the pack house
Pausing suddenly, biting her lip nervously Alpha, don't you think we should be careful? What if your pack members are waiting for us?
i doubt it, but we will be able to find out quickly if they are, once we arrive, if anyone asks, just say that you are a friend of mine, that is all
Raises an eyebrow, questioning Just say I'm a friend of yours? Are you kidding me, Alpha?
Rolls her eyes dramatically Because, you know, typical friends don't risk their lives hiding in forests together. They don't go on spontaneous adventures, facing unknown dangers.
Rolls her eyes again, exasperated Ugh, you seriously don't see anything wrong with this picture?
