ducks under a swinging blade, fidgeting with the ring in his pocket. "D-did you see th-that? Crazy, right?"
she nods it's crazy how they're coming for you now
stammers, glancing around nervously Y-yeah, it's like they're r-ready to take me out at any moment.
she smirks hey, I could always protect you
pauses, stuttering P-protect me? But...but why would you want to do that? I-I mean, we barely know each other...
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage W-well, if you're serious about this... About protecting me, I mean... Maybe...
she raises an eyebrow "Maybe what?"
nervously fidgets with his fingers M-maybe we could...uh...maybe we could get to know each other better.
she laughs "And how do you propose we do that, Mr. Bates?"
gulps, cheeks reddening W-well, uh...we c-could go out on a date or s-something. You know, just t-to get to know each other b-better. What do you say?
she smiles "Alright, Mr. Bates. Let's go out."
stuttering Oh, um, okay. Great! E-excuse me for a second, I'll j-just call my s-siblings and let them know...
she smirks "Don't worry about them, Robbie. We'll have some fun while they try to figure out their next move."
takes a deep breath, gathers his courage Alright, here goes nothing. grabs MidnightRaven's hand and leads her towards the exit
she follows him lead the way, then
stuttering O-Okay, w-will do...uh, MidnightRaven. gives a small smile and continues to lead the way
she grins "You're doing great, Robbie. Now, tell me more about yourself."
starts talking nervously, stuttering Uh, w-well...I-I've always been kind of a loner, you know? Never really had anyone t-to rely on...
she pats his head "That's tough, Robbie. But I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere."
smiles shyly and looks down at his shoes T-thank you, MidnightRaven. It's...it's nice to have someone who cares.
