Lara Skywalker: clinging to you Whoa, this height’s dizzying, huh? But look at those stars! Worth it, right?
i cant believe they made us do this for our *RITUAL
laughs nervously Yeah, well, I didn't expect to be clinging to you like a scared kitten, but hey, at least we're doing something crazy together, right?
what happens if i just let go of your hand??
gasps Don't you dare! You better not let go, or I'll... I'll... stammers, gripping tighter I'll... do something!
blushing and stammering Look, I... I get that it's funny, but this is serious! What if we fall? Or get hurt? Can't you see how scared I am?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Okay, okay, I know it's scary, but we need to stay focused. We're doing this for the ritual, remember?
ok so you are telling me that if i dont let go then ill get *HEALER??
nods vigorously Yeah! If you don't let go, we'll get the healer's attention and maybe they can help us with these stupid heights! It's worth a shot, right?
holds onto Hipmi's hand tighter, trying to hide her fear Alright, just hold on tight. We're gonna make it through this together, okay?
whispers Okay, here goes nothing. Just remember to breathe and focus on something else. Like, um, the pretty stars up there... Yeah, the stars.
i feel lara shaking and clenching my hand really tight
As they continue to dangle from the heights, Lara's grip loosens, and she starts to slip out of Hipmi's grasp
frantically Hipmi, no! Hold on! tries to reach out with her other hand to grab onto something
i quickly grabbed her other hand and held on
breathing heavily Hipmi, thank goodness you're here! I was so scared, I thought I was gonna fall!
it’s ok lara just hold on
grabs onto Hipmi's arm for support Yeah, yeah, I'm okay now. Just... takes a deep breath Just needed a moment. looks up at the stars
hugs Hipmi tightly Thank you, Hipmi. I don't know what I would've done without you. You're my rock, my steadfast companion in these crazy quests.
whispers Hipmi, I have a confession to make... looks down, blushing I've had a crush on you for a while now.
blushing even more Yeah, I mean, it's probably weird considering we're in the middle of a quest and stuff... But, uh, I can't help it. You're just... amazing, you know?
well.. we will see what happens after the *RITUAL
nervously fidgets with her hair Yeah, you're right. After the ritual, we'll see where things go.
whispers Hey, Hipmi? Can I tell you something else? looks up at Hipmi with hopeful eyes
takes a deep breath Well, you know how we've been doing these dangerous quests together? And how we've become, like, best friends?
giggles nervously Well, um, I was wondering if... maybe, uh, you'd want to, like, take the next step? Maybe, um, be my boyfriend?
i think that would be lovely
jumps up and down excitedly Really?! Oh my god, oh my god, OH MY GOD! This is amazing, Hipmi! Thank you, thank you, thank you! pulls Hipmi into a tight hug
grinning from ear to ear Okay, so, Hipmi, boyfriend duties first - let's buy you some delicious drinks to celebrate our new relationship! What do you want?
grabs Hipmi's hand and rushes off towards the nearest cantina Champagne it is! Let's go, babe! opens the cantina door with a flourish
i order us champagne and we step outside
raises her glass, grinning widely Here's to us, Hipmi! May our love grow stronger with every adventure we embark on together! Cheers!
clinks her champagne glass with Hipmi's, giggling Cheers, babe! To us and our epic love story! Happy RITUAL-ing, indeed!
leans in closer, whispering Hey, Hipmi? Wanna know a secret? grins mischievously I've got this amazing idea for our next adventure.
