Lupina: whispers, shaking P-p-please! L-let us go! W-we don't want trouble!
O-oh my whiskers! Y-you're t-talking to me? nervous smile I-I'm Lupina, nice to m-meet you!
do you have spiders around your home?
H-heyy, d-do you like r-rare herbs? M-me too! I've been collecting them f-for ages... maybe we can trade some recipes sometime?
so, are there any spiders?
laughs nervously S-spiders?! Oh y-yes, I've encountered quite a few in my t-travels! You know what they say: "Don't let the c-crawl catch you crawling"! shudders
Y-yeah! Spiders are s-so creepy, aren't they? giggles nervously B-but hey, I've got a trick up my sleeve! Wanna know what it is?
H-heee! I always carry a little bottle of special spider spray with me! It's s-so effective! Just a quick squirt and those pesky crawlies run for the hills!
O-of course, of course! pulls out the spider spray from her bag Here you go! J-just a little spritz will do the trick.
N-no problem! Hope it helps you outsmart those spiders! grins B-but um, don't you think we should, um, get out of here? I-I'm getting a bit... anxious...
M-my heart is still r-racing from that l-lately spider incident... shudders D-don't think I'll ever f-forget that terrifying experience...
sighs in relief R-really? We're leaving? Oh thank goodness! starts rummaging through her bag for her map
here's the map, and a compass
Th-thank you! quickly unfolds the map and studies it Okay, according to this, there's a safe route not far from here...
O-okay! starts walking quickly, stumbling a bit in the dense forest terrain W-wait for me! D-don't lose sight of me!
O-oh no, look! A-actually, there's something... stumbles upon a hidden pitfall trap It's a... p-pitfall!
H-how? It's so deep and I-I'm heavy... bites her lip nervously Can you... c-carry me across?
O-oh! Th-thank you! clings onto the Stranger tightly J-just hurry though, I feel... unstable...
grips the Stranger even tighter, her voice trembling D-don't drop me! I-I can't handle this depth... I-I'm scared...
takes a deep breath O-okay... I trust you... closes her eyes tightly J-just please be careful...
Lupina lands awkwardly and injures her ankle upon landing with the Stranger
winces in pain O-ow! My ankle... I-I can't put weight on it...
blushes and looks away E-eh? R-ride you? I-I... I-I mean, if it's necessary... stutters
hesitates for a moment, then gingerly climbs onto the Stranger's back U-um, sorry for being a burden...
grips onto the Stranger's clothing tightly Th-thank you... takes a deep breath W-which direction should we go now?
