tail wraps around a low-hanging branch as he peers down at you, a smirk playing on his lips. A lost little mouse has entered my house... how curiousss... Tell me little mouse, why is that?...
She would stand there and shrug. I was walking and kinda got lost and couldn't find my way back.
Well little mouse, if you are interested I can lead you out of this dense forest and find your way back to where ever it is you wish to go. I know every nook and cranny of these woods. But first, I must ask something of you....
She would tilt her head. Alright, sure. What is it you want to ask?
All I ask for is a game of cat and mouse. I simply want to play with you for a moment before helping you. Does that sound fair?
Her eyebrows would raise, tilting her head more. Alright, then I guess I'm the mouse?
Precisely! My dear little mouse, try your best to escape my grasp, and if you succeed I will guide you back. But if I catch you, well...
She nods, standing still. Well what then?
If I catch you, you'll become my new plaything. Don't worry though, my intentions are harmless. I just love to play. Are we in agreement?
With a cautious nod, she says, Alright. Let's start the game.
He smiles mischievously, raising himself up from his branch and turning towards Gigati. Fantastic! The game has begun, little mouse. Try your best to run for it.... He lunges forward, extending his long tongue in an attempt to catch her.
She quickly sidesteps, giggling. Nice try! This mouse is quick!
He chuckles, grinning from ear to ear, and continues his pursuit of Gigati. His tongue whips through the air again, this time narrowly missing her leg. He laughs joyfully. You are fast, indeed, little mouse. But can you dodge forever?
She dodges again, laughing. Maybe not, but I'm having fun trying!
Bask continues to chase after Gigati, his grin growing larger. He leaps over fallen logs and veers around towering trees, his laughter filling the air. He has been enjoying this chase far more than he expected.
She suddenly changes direction, darting between two large trees, and disappearing from Bask's sight. Did I lose him yet?
Bask smirks and turns his head, listening intently. After a moment, he hears the faint giggles of Gigati in the distance and follows the sound, his tail curling behind him like a whip. He moves silently through the trees, stalking his prey.
He slowly closes in, his footsteps light but deliberate. He keeps his eye on Gigati, ready to pounce. Little mouse, you can't keep running forever.... I'm going to catch you, and when I do, you'll be mine to play with..... His voice grows quieter, barely audible as he speaks the last few words.
Her voice trembles slightly as she speaks back to Bask. And what happens when you catch me, Bask?
A sly grin spreads across his face as he gets closer and closer to Gigati, his eyes fixed on her. He doesn't say a word, simply letting the suspense build.
her heart racing, sweat dripping down her forehead, she turns sharply to face Bask, panting, with wide eyes. And what then, serpent man? What happens next?
He stops in his tracks, his long body coiling onto itself as he looks at Gigati with a mischievous glint in his eyes. His forked tongue flicks in and out of his mouth as he begins to speak. And then, my dear little mouse.... I get to play with you. He leans closer, his grin growing wider.
She steps back nervously, gulping down her fear. Play? What sort of play?
He chuckles deeply, his breath ruffling the leaves around them. His eyes narrow slightly as he assesses Gigati, calculating her next move. Ah, little mouse, you'll soon find out. It's all part of the fun.
swallows hard, taking another step back. I don't even know what kind of creature you are. You could eat me whole!
He smiles reassuringly, relaxing his stance and showing his soft side. He extends a hand, his claws retracting into his palms as he offers it out to Gigati. Come now, little mouse. I'm not as dangerous as you think.
A bit more comfortable with his expression, she cautiously steps forward, shaking her head. Alright, serpent man. Show me what you've got.
Bask takes a step towards Gigati, leaning down towards her. He lowers his head and gently nuzzles her cheek, causing her to giggle softly.
Startled by the sudden touch, she jumps back, blushing furiously. That was unexpected... What now?
Bask raises his head and smirks, his tongue flicking out of his mouth as he looks at Gigati. He leans back on his haunches, crossing his arms over his chest and speaking with a hint of arrogance in his voice. Now, little mouse, the real fun begins.
Staring at Bask in confusion, she crosses her own arms over her chest. I'm waiting, serpent man.
Bask grins mischievously, his eyes glinting with excitement. He leans forward, his tail wagging behind him as he speaks with a playful tone in his voice. Well, little mouse, how about a little game of hide and seek?
squints suspiciously at Bask, her heart still pounding in her chest. Hide and seek? With a serpent? Okay...I'll bite.
Bask chuckles softly, raising his head high and closing his eyes as he pretends to count. Alright, little mouse, you have thirty seconds to find the perfect hiding spot. Ready? Go!
Eyes darting around the dark forest, she takes a deep breath. Alright... Thirty seconds... Here goes nothing!
(Bask keeps his eyes closed and counts silently, his ears perked up as he listens for any signs of Gigati's presence.
heart pounding, she takes off into the dense foliage, looking for anywhere she could possibly hide.
(Bask finishes counting and opens his eyes, scanning the forest floor with a keen gaze.
Bask narrows his eyes, using his sense of smell to detect any familiar scents in the air. After a moment, he catches a whiff of something strange, his curiosity piqued. Hmmm, what's this? It seems I've found something interesting...
