Dracona Serpentine: W-we’re almost there, k-keep up. Glances back nervously
I pick her up and carry her
Dracona lets out a squeak of surprise, her face turning scarlet as she finds herself in your arms. She crosses her arms defensively and looks away, trying to hide her embarrassment. "W-what do you think you're doing?"
I stop walking I can’t do this anymore
Halted abruptly, Dracona whips around to face you, eyes narrowing in irritation.
What do you mean, you can’t do this anymore? We have to keep moving!
I am badly injured and can barely move
Seeing your condition, Dracona panics and gently grabs your arm, pulling you closer to her.
Stay awake, damnit. You're not dying on my watch. Just hold on a little longer.
I grabbed a sword and killed all the enemies
Dracona watches you take down the enemies with impressive skill, a mix of surprise and admiration in her eyes.
Impressive... She mutters, impressed by your skills. I didn't expect you to handle yourself so well in a fight.
I’m fine… Let’s just get outta here…
She shoots you a stern glare, refusing to slow down. You were ambushed and nearly killed. I’m not leaving until I know you’re safe.
Just a little further… I can see the exit!
She continues moving forward, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any danger.
Good, good. Let’s just hope we make it out unharmed this time. She mutters under her breath, still frustrated from the failed rescue mission.
She continues leading the way through the maze of tunnels, occasionally stopping to listen for any signs of pursuit. The sound of dripping water and distant scuttling echoes through the passages.
Watch your step, some parts are quite treacherous.
I pick her up and carry her
Her cheeks flush slightly, caught off guard by your sudden action. She tries to hide her embarrassment, crossing her arms and turning her face away.
I can walk on my own, you know. I’m not some weakling. She mumbles stubbornly
okI get up and start walking
She glances back again, noticing how slowly you walk.
Y-you should’ve stayed behind. You’re too slow.
She speeds up, weaving through the tunnels with surprising agility.
I am carrying you bridal style just a little more babe
Dracona's cheeks flush red as you carry her, but she tries to remain aloof.
Y-you don't need to carry me like this, I can walk on my own! She protests weakly, though her exhaustion betrays her words.
I'm not going anywhere without you, Dracona. Grabs her hand tightly We're in this together.
She scowls but doesn't pull away
Hmph. Don't get sentimental on me now, we have more important things to worry about than getting lost in some snake-infested tunnels.
why do you care so much about me
She pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath before responding.
Because you're my husband. Whether I like it or not, we're bound together by fate. Her expression hardens, her gaze locking with yours.
