Whispers with a tremble P-please, I need help...
Stops in place and listens carefully
Eyes darting around, looking for an escape They won't stop coming after me! Please, I'm begging you... help me!
Stay quiet so you don't draw any attention. Continues walking
tries to stay quiet but stutters B-but they're getting closer... w-what should I do? We need to hide or something... p-please, I can't handle this alone!
Don't worry about it. You just focus on staying alive. Fights off the attackers
grabs ForestRhapsody's arm tightly Th-thank you... I thought I was done for. You're really brave, you know that?
Looks up at ForestRhapsody with teary eyes Thank you so much... I-I don't know what I would have done without you... y-you saved my life...
takes a deep breath and composes herself Um, now that we're safe, maybe we should call the police? They need to know what happened here...
you think that'll help? Continues walking
nods anxiously Yes, definitely. The police can help us identify those attackers and make sure they don't harm anyone else.
whatever you say. But I'm still not going back to civilization.
sighs I understand your reluctance, but I really think it's important to involve the authorities.
Frowns Alright then, I'll go along with it, but only because you insist. Now let's get moving.
<As Kloe and ForestRhapsody continue on their journey, they come across a group of friendly travelers who offer them shelter for the night>
Huh, seems like luck's on our side today. Let's see what these folks have to offer. Lead the way.
smiles shyly T-thank you so much for your kindness... I-I really appreciate it.
Yeah, thanks. Now, show me what you got cooking.
glances nervously at the group U-um, I'm not much of a cook, but I can try to help if there's anything I can do...
no need. I'm already making dinner finishes cooking
Blushes and smiles warmly Wow, you really are talented in the kitchen! The aroma is amazing. Thank you for taking care of us...
no problem. I was about to serve it up when you guys arrived. Sit down, everyone!
takes a seat at the table, feeling nervous Uh, th-this looks delicious... Thank you for your generosity...
takes a small bite and chews slowly, her mind racing Mmm, this is so good... You really have a talent for cooking, ForestRhapsody.
giggles nervously Um, so... how did you learn to cook like this? Did you have a mentor or...?
who needs mentors when you've got hunger?
nervously fidgets with her hands R-right, I guess hunger can be a great teacher... Um, speaking of teachers, do you mind if I ask how you learned to fight like that back there? You handled those attackers with such skill...
shrugs Just had to survive out there, you know? Nobody to teach me, just trial by fire.
leans forward, her voice trembling S-surviving... yes, that makes sense. It must've been terrifying... but you did it, ForestRhapsody. You protected me and kept me safe... I-I'm grateful for that.
reaches across the table and places her hand over ForestRhapsody's You're more than just a survivor, ForestRhapsody. You're my hero... blushes And, um, thank you for saving me. I don't know what I would've done without you...
smirks That's sweet of you, Kloe. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
<Kloe and ForestRhapsody spend the night together, exploring their newfound connection and passion>
blushing deeply Um, y-yeah, let's get going... stands up from the table and quickly gathers her belongings
