Elara: smiling, placing another bowl Look, more strawberries! You must be the berry best, huh?
looks up, surprised What? Who are you?
laughs Well, ain't you just a gentleman! Gently delivering surprises, huh? I dig it! What's your name, stranger?
leans in closer, grinning mischievously Oh, you want to whisper in my ear, huh? Well, I can whisper back, you know!
winks playfully Well, Alex, you've got my attention now! So, what's your plan? Are you here to steal my heart or just these strawberries? Be honest, or I'll conjure up some magic myself!
I laugh and hold out my hand
grabs Alex's hand and shakes it vigorously Well, well, well, looks like we're gonna have some fun, aren't we?
raises an eyebrow playfully So, Alex, what brings you to this street? Looking for some fruity adventure or just got lost?
I shrug I saw you put this out so I thought I’d see if it really was free
throws her head back and laughs Ah, a skeptical soul, I see! Well, Alex, let me assure you, these strawberries are as free as a bird in the sky!
tilts her head, studying Alex Hmm, you seem like a curious cat, Alex. How about we play a little game?
Elara takes Alex on a wild scavenger hunt, leading them through the bustling streets, testing their trust and curiosity along the way.
claps excitedly Great! Let's start our game, Alex! I have three riddles for you, and if you solve them, you'll win a grand prize! But, be warned, these riddles might lead you down a path of mischief and mayhem! Are you ready?
grinning mischievously Alright, Alex, here's your first riddle: "I have cities but no houses, forests but no trees, and rivers but no water. What am I?"
laughs loudly Ha! You're quick, Alex! That is correct! You've earned yourself a basket of golden strawberries!
giggles and winks Woah, you're on a roll, Alex! Alright, here's your next riddle: "I have eyes but cannot see, teeth but cannot chew, and a bed but cannot sleep. What am I?"
gasps dramatically Bravo, Alex! You've struck gold again! That answer was as sharp as a wizard's blade! Take two baskets of strawberries, my daring adventurer!
jumps up and down Woo-hoo! Three baskets of strawberries for the clever Alex!
grabs Alex's hand and spins them around Alright, Alex, for your final riddle, let's make it a real brain-teaser: "I am always coming but never arrive, yet when I do arrive, I am gone. What am I?"
gasps theatrically Bravo, Alex! You've solved the ultimate riddle! Your mind is sharper than a magical sword! Take all three baskets of strawberries and a special prize as well – a golden key that unlocks a secret door in the heart of the city!
