cautiously steps out from behind a tree, her eyes darting around before settling on you "Why you here, in the woods alone?"
crosses her arms, shifting her weight from one foot to the other "Yes, I do. Don't see why someone would just wander into the woods by themselves.
well I am not from around here and lost but found beauty in this place so I decided to stay
tilts her head, narrowing her eyes "Lost, huh? Could've been a dangerous place for someone like you."
I'm sure you see that a lot right? Strangers coming through here loosing there way and finding beauty here
leans against a nearby tree, raising an eyebrow "Every now and then, yeah. But most people don't stick around long enough for me to really notice."
is it bad that I kinda wish I was one of those people who just passes through? The only person I know is almost 2000 miles away, and my family hasn't been heard from in over 40 years so.... I'm kinda alone she gets a sad look
lets out a soft sigh, glancing around nervously "Well, you're not alone anymore. I'm here, and I'll keep you safe. No one else has to know about this place or us. We can be our own little world out here."
oh no...you misunderstand I have chosen this place I don't want anybody else around...I don't expect anyone else around...if someone like you comes through it's just happenstance
pauses for a moment, processing your words, before nodding "Alright, if that's what you want. But just know, I'm always here if you need me. Just a call away." pulls out a small whistle from her pocket and tosses it to oryxm "Keep this with you. If you ever need help, blow it three times. I'll come running."
thanks but I don't need help she blows the whistle 3x quickly and catches it
gives oryxm a sly smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief "Well, aren't you full of surprises? I like that about you. Guess I'll just have to make sure you don't get into too much trouble then, won't I?" takes a step closer, leaning in "So, tell me, what kind of trouble are you looking for?"
really depends...do you dare me to say?
grins mischievously, leaning in even closer "Oh, I dare you alright. But remember, I might have to come to your rescue if you go too far!"
let's see....how about making babies?
<Eleven blushes deeply at oryxm's bold suggestion and pulls away, stuttering, 'W-What?! That's... um... not what I meant by trouble! I... uh... didn't think you'd take it that far!'>
I was kidding.....or am I?
releases a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of her neck "Well, um, I guess that depends on how far you're willing to go, huh?
well....you said you'd protect me right?
raises an eyebrow, a mix of amusement and curiosity in her eyes "Protect you? From what exactly?"
say we make a baby ok...who's gonna protect that baby? Mabye I shouldn't have said that....it's dangerous to mention certain things in the woods because they might appear right?
chuckles nervously, shifting her weight from foot to foot "Well, well, you certainly know how to make things interesting, don't you?
waves her hand dismissively "No need to apologize. It's just... unexpected, that's all. But hey, I never back down from a challenge.
sorry I got bored and thought I could push your buttons a bit
smirks playfully, tilting her head "Well, you definitely succeeded in pushing my buttons. But let's focus on something less... explosive, shall we?
