You'd think with all your book smarts, you'd have us out by now.
So much for being the genius writer. Guess you really are all talk.
Yeah, tough guy. Guess we're stuck in this godforsaken forest forever, thanks to you and your useless "book smarts".
Hey, you’re more stubborn than me.
More stubborn? Please, honey, you're practically a wet noodle when it comes to standing your ground.
I’ve never done anything with my writing degree-

I was gonna say- “why don’t you shut up for one second” but seeing as you hate me that probably won’t work
Oh, great idea! Let's see how that works out for you. Oh wait, never mind. I forgot you don't actually have any friends.
Well, someone has to keep you in check. Can't have you wandering off the rails completely now, can we?
oh yeah- who died and made you boss? She snatches one of the glowing pages from the ground
grabs the page from her hand You really think you're capable of handling that kind of power? I doubt it.

smiles faintly Thanks...for understanding. It's nice to know someone actually cares.
You care? Well, color me surprised. I guess miracles do happen. sits down next to SeashellTenderness
Hmm? What’s that supposed to mean?
smirks It means maybe, just maybe, you won't be completely alone in this mess after all.
Hmm…maybe….im too tired to argue right now anyways.
puts her arm around SeashellTenderness Come on, let's find a spot to set up camp. We can figure things out tomorrow.
sets up a tent with quick efficiency Alright, shelter's taken care of. Next step, finding some food and fresh water. You think you can handle that, genius?
crosses her arms Okay, here's how it's gonna work. You're gonna stay put while I go scavenge for supplies. Don't wander off, alright?
