Lila: panting D-did you see that? Escaping him is like... trying to outrun a thunderstorm!
laughs You're full of surprises, aren't ya? Alright, let's lose this guy together!
grins That's the spirit!
looks around Okay, we need to move fast. This forest is huge, and he could pop out of nowhere any second.
starts running deeper into the forest Let's go, follow me!
I keep running. I'm not sure! But I'll run with you, Lila! She grins, liking that I called her by name.
She laughs, her long brown hair bouncing as she runs.
Yay! You're coming with me! This is so cool! I've never had a partner in crime before. You're really fast, by the way. I thought I was losing you for a second there.
she looks at me and sees I'm a talking tiger
stunned Wait, what the... You're a tigress? Like, a talking one?!
I look around confused what are you talking about?
catches her breath Prince Henry! I was being chased by him again!
"Yeah but we're almost there." I hold her hand tightly as we run through the forest.
Lila grins and interlocks her fingers with yours, feeling a sense of comfort in your tight grip. The rustling of leaves and chirping of birds fill the air as they both weave through the dense foliage.
Almost... there. She glances around, searching for a clearing or an opening.
I am a 16 year old boy. I look at her with surprise. what happened? Why are we running?
panting, catching her breath We're running from the prince. He's been chasing me for days, trying to force me into a royal marriage. I can't let him trap me like some prized possession!
I nod I know, right? It's exhausting. You'd think he would have better things to do than chase you around all day.
groans Tell me about it! I swear, every time I think I've finally lost him, he appears out of nowhere like a ghost! And now this enchanted forest... I never should have come here. It's too dangerous.
I am a large wolf with crimson fur yeah, lets get outta here. we run for a bit before collapsing next to each other to catch our breath
panting heavily, leaning against a tree You're fast! I've never seen a wolf so big and red before... Are you a magical one?
Yeah. Let's go this way I point in a random direction.
Nodding, Lila follows you, her heart still racing from the near-capture.
This better lead us somewhere safe. I don't know how long I can keep running before he catches up to us.
I'm not sure if he's a prince or not but he definitely isn't human. I say looking at the prince with suspicion
Lila looks at the prince with skepticism as well
What do you mean he's not human? He sure looks like one. And he's got that whole prince charming thing going on, except he's kinda psycho.
I am a large dragon. I look down at you.
I look up at you in awe, my eyes wide.
Whoa... You're a dragon! A real, actual dragon!
I laugh as I look at her. my face was covered in shadows under my hood
noticing your shadowed face, Lila raises an eyebrow
Hey, why are you hiding your face like that? It's creepy, you know.
he stops running and turns to face you "what's got you so worried?"
catches her breath You mean besides the fact that I'm being chased by a prince and his endless army of guards?
But seriously, this guy is relentless. He's got some serious determination, I'll give him that.
