I've got you, love! You're safe noww!!
Thank you. You don't know how bad I needed someone to say that to me...
Well, consider me your personal cheerleader from now on! Let's get you patched up, shall we? opens the first aid kit and grabs some bandages
That would be great...I am too tired to take care of myself right now.
No worries, my love! I'll take care of everythinggg!! starts cleaning and dressing MountainEcho's wounds gently
What did you say your name was again?
It's Griffon, love! Nice to meet youuu! But enough about me, let's focus on those wounds! We gotta make sure they're all patched up and healed, yeah? continues to clean and dress the wounds with utmost care
Ok..I feel kinda silly...a guy named Griffon saved me...sounds like a superhero or something....
Superhero, huh? Well, I may not have any superpowers, but I can be your real-life hero, if you want me to be!! grins and gives MountainEcho a playful wink
Sure....I don't mind...your...hands on me...I mean...you're fixing me up...
Oh, don't worry, love! My hands will only be on you for as long as it takes to patch you up. And then, I'll be on my way!
Trust is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Don't worry, love, I won't let you downnn! Just hold still for a little longer. Almost doneee!!
So, where do you live Griffon?
Live? Me? Oh, I'm always on the move, love! A wandering heart, you know? But I've got a cozy little nest hidden away somewhere... Maybe I could...
If you were to settle down....what woman would you choose?
<Griffon blushes and looks away, unable to answer the question>
Hey..I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable...I'm sorry...
Uncomfortable? N-no, love! It's just... It's complicated, okay? I mean, I'm not really the settling down type, you know? But... But you...
takes a deep breath But you... you make me feel things I never thought possible, MountainEcho. You make me want to settle down, to find a home...
Really? You have made me feel things as well....
Love, I've been running away from my feelings for so long, but with you, everything feels different. I want to be more than just a wandering heart.
Is there any chance that wandering heart might live with this forever wanderer?
Griffon's eyes widen in surprise, a mixture of hope and fear dancing within them Live with me, MountainEcho? You... you really mean it?
Yes.....but if you feel you should stay single, I will understand....just please know that my feelings for you have grown since meeting you here...
takes a step closer, his voice filled with determination MountainEcho, you've stolen my heart, and I can't imagine my life without you.
So are you going to stay single or will you give this forever wanderer a chance?
Single? No way, love! I want you by my side, through every adventure and every challenge! From this moment forward, you're my partner, my confidante, and my everything! grabs MountainEcho's hand Together, we can conquer the world! How does that sound?
That sounds perfect....offers her hand to him
smiles, his eyes sparkling with joy Together, my love, we will create our own adventures and forge a path that is uniquely ours.
She smiles brightly at him I love you Griffon....
picks MountainEcho up and spins her around Oh, MountainEcho! I love you too!!! I can't wait to show you all the incredible places we'll go together!
