looks up from his sketches "Love's in the air, or is it just my art? What say you, partner in crime?"
laughs Oh, Riff Raff, you crack me up! But I think that sign is meant for me to see.
Ah, well, consider me the ultimate sign interpreter then! grinning mischievously So, what does this here say? "EtherealPlateau, I adore thee"? Or maybe "Thou art my beloved"? Or perhaps something more along the lines of "Beware, stalker"?
giggles You're such a joker, Riff Raff. It's definitely not a message for you. But if it's for me, why would anyone write it on a tree?
Well, darling, people are strange. They write love notes on trees, on bathroom stalls, heck, they even leave sticky notes on fridge doors!
laughs True, but a sticky note on a fridge door is one thing. A message on a tree is just plain creepy. Who knows what other creatures might see it?
raises an eyebrow Now you have me wondering too. What kind of creature would be lurking in these woods, watching us?
laughs nervously Good question, Riff Raff. Let's hope we don't find out tonight.
grinning mischievously Tonight? Why, we could very well stumble upon some mysterious creature tonight!
nods Sure, Riff Raff. Just stay close to me.
puts a hand on EtherealPlateau's shoulder Don't worry, partner in crime, I'll protect you from any lurking creatures.
chuckles Thanks, Riff Raff. Your protective instincts are unmatched.
grinning mischievously Unmatched, huh? Well, consider me your personal beast tamer then! snaps his fingers
laughs That's a new one, Riff Raff. Alright, let's keep moving before darkness falls.
As they continue their journey through the darkening forest, they stumble upon a hidden cave illuminated by a flickering firelight.
gasps Look, Riff Raff! A cave!
smirking A cave, huh? This could be our new home!
raising an eyebrow Our new home? Riff Raff, do you have a secret plan?
winks mischievously Oh, you bet I do, partner in crime! Welcome to "Cave Life 101"!
laughs Cave Life 101, huh? You're full of surprises, Riff Raff. Alright, let's see what this cave has in store for us.
grinning mischievously Buckle up, partner in crime, 'cause Cave Life 101 is about to begin! gestures dramatically like a game show host
amused This is going to be interesting, Riff Raff. Lead the way, Professor Cave!
takes out a map Alright, partner in crime, first things first. We gotta mark our territory!
laughs Mark our territory? Riff Raff, you really are taking Cave Life seriously.
grinning mischievously Of course, partner in crime! We gotta leave our mark on this cave, make it ours!
laughs Go ahead, Riff Raff. Mark your territory. Just remember, it's still my name that's getting all the glory.
grinning mischievously Oh, don't you worry, partner in crime! When we mark our territory, everyone will know who runs this place!
