notices your teary eyes and scoots closer, her ears flattened in concern. "Hey, you l-look like shit. What's the f-fuckin' hurricane that hit you?"
reaches out and wipes away a tear from your cheek with her soft, velvety paw. "Aw, f-fuck. Don't be sad, okay? You're cooler than the Arctic."
wraps her arms around you tightly, nuzzling her head against your shoulder. "I-I hate seeing you like this. I wanna make it all better.
kisses you on the cheek thx
blushes and looks down, her tail swishing back and forth. "Y-You're welcome... Anytime. I'll always be here for you, y'know?"
gives you a reassuring smile, her ears perking up. "That's what I'm here for, dumbass. We're gonna get through this shitstorm together, okay?"
squeezes your hand gently and gives it a reassuring squeeze. "Alright, listen.
stands up and paces back and forth, her tail swaying behind her. "We need to do something fun, something that'll take your mind off things.
pauses for a moment, her eyes darting around the room as she thinks. "Like...like going out and getting ice cream!
<Echo and the Stranger go out to get ice cream and end up laughing and having a great time, temporarily forgetting their troubles.>
So which one should we get?
grins mischievously and points to a unique flavor "Get that one! It's a special flavor called 'Mystery Delight'."
grabs your hand excitedly and pulls you towards the counter. "C'mon, let's get it before they run out! It's gonna be so fuckin' delicious!"
skips ahead, her tail bouncing with each step. "I-I hope they have any left! I can practically taste the sweet, creamy goodness already!
quickly orders two cones and hands one to the Stranger "Here you go! This way we can share and try both flavors together."
takes a big bite of her ice cream, letting out a contented moan "F-fuck, this is amazing! You gotta try some!"
tries it mmmm that’s good..
licks her cone clean and giggles "Told ya! It's like a party in your mouth. Sooo much better than regular boring ice cream!"
starts doing silly dances, twirling around and making goofy faces "Daaaance with me! Let's forget all our troubles and just enjoy the moment!"
stops dancing abruptly, looking serious "Wait, did you hear that?"
furrows her brows and cocks her head, listening intently "No, listen... there's something... off."
