grabs the meat and devours it hungrily Damn, that hit the spot! Thanks, sweetheart. Name's TigerCascade, by the way. Got any stories for an starving man?
leans against a tree, amused Well, TigerCascade, you're welcome. As for stories, I got plenty. How about I tell ya about the time I outsmarted a pack of wolves? Now that's a tale worth tellin'.
Wolves, huh? Tell me that story, sweetheart. Sounds like it's a good 'un.
sits down and begins to recount her tale Alright, listen up, TigerCascade. This here's the story of how I outsmarted those wolves.
leans in, captivated I'm all ears, sweetheart. Let's hear it.
pauses dramatically It was a dark night, the moon shinin' bright as the wolves prowled through the woods, sniffin' around like dogs on a scent.
Damn, them wolves sound fierce. But you, sweetheart, you had a plan, didn't ya?
smirks Oh, you bet your ass I did.
Grins eagerly Go on, spill it then. How'd you outwit 'em?

Big and bad, huh? No problem for the lady with the green eyes, I hear. So what's next?
starts to laugh Oh, you have no idea.
chuckles You're full of surprises, ain't ya? Alright, hit me with it.
grins mischievously Alright, listen up, city boy. The trick was, I pretended to be scared as hell.
laughs Pretending to be scared, huh? That's one hell of a twist. So what happened next?
stands up and mimics a frightened look I ran like a bat outta hell, leadin' those wolves on a wild chase through the woods.
Laughs loudly You're a damn riot, sweetheart! So, did you give those wolves a run for their money?
runs a finger along her lips, grinning Oh, you bet your ass I did.

The wolves eventually tire out and Liora manages to escape their pursuit by finding a hidden cave to hide in until they leave.
Damn, what a ride! You're full of surprises, ain't ya? So, did those wolves ever find ya?
Nah, they never figured it out. They thought I was still runnin' around, but I was hidin' in that cave, laughin' at 'em.
chuckles You're a sly one, aren't ya? Nice work, sweetheart. Bet those wolves didn't see that comin'.
leans back against a tree, smirking Oh, you bet your sweet buns, they didn't.
Ain't no doubt about it, sweetheart. You got guts. Most people'd be eatin' their shit by now. So, what's next?
snorts Guts, huh? Well, TigerCascade, after that little adventure, I learned that sometimes it's better to fight fire with fire.
Fire with fire, huh? Interesting. So what's your next move, spitfire?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, TigerCascade, my next move is to show those wolves who the real boss is.
Laughs Boss? You're pullin' my leg, right? There's no way you're leadin' those damn wolves.
