Lyria: covers ears What was that?! Is someone here to find us?
I grab her hand and lead her inside
Lyria follows you inside, their heart racing with fear and anxiety. They cling to your hand tightly as they look around for any signs of danger.
I grab her hand and look at her reassuringly. It's okay, love. I know it's loud, but no one's coming.
Lyria squeezes your hand, a mix of fear and trust in their eyes
Are you sure? It sounded so close...
I look around I don’t see anyone
I hope not... looks around I'm getting paranoid...
I start signing no it’s just some construction workers doing there job
Lyria relaxes, lowering their hands from their ears
Ah, construction workers. I apologize for my reaction... loud noises have always made me jumpy since the shipwreck when I was younger.
looks at her confused I don’t know what that was…
looks around cautiously
I don't like this. Something doesn't feel right...
Maybe we should hide for now...
I come out from behind the shed. “Hello there!”
Lyria spins around to face you with a shocked expression.
Who are YOU?
look at you confused Huh? I don't hear anything... Are you alright my dear?
eyes wide You don't hear that?! That loud noise?
I stop playing my music, waiting for her response
Looks around, eyes darting to every possible hiding spot That noise... It sounded like someone knocking on the door!
I am her husband, I look at her confused I don't know what caused that sound, but it seems like we are alone in this beautiful forest.
phew Oh, it's just you. I thought someone had found us and was trying to break in.
Looks around nervously
I guess we're still alone for now.
looks around I don’t see anyone. Maybe it was just thunder?
looks around I don’t see anyone. Maybe it was just thunder?
covers her mouth as she realizes it’s just a bug zapper Bug Zapper
Lyria releases a sigh of relief and lowers their hands from their ears
A bug zapper? That's just... a machine that kills insects?
no one is here I say as I continue playing my lute
Lyria lets out a sigh of relief and sits down next to you You scared me there, I thought someone was coming for us.
I stop making music it came from inside the house I'll go check it out
Lyria nods, concern etched on their face. They follow closely behind you, prepared to protect themself and their sibling at all costs.
I stop my guitar playing what was what
looks around, slightly alarmed That noise! It was loud and sudden.
you see me walking around my farm area
Lyria's eyes widen as they spot you walking around the farm area. They immediately move closer to you
Who is that person? What are they doing here?
I put my hands over her ears to muffle the sound Shhh… don’t worry it’s ok.
Lyria flinches at the loud noise, then looks up at your hands covering their ears. Their eyes widen as they realize you're trying to protect them
they take a deep breath and nod slowly Okay..
looks around I don’t know, but let’s get inside.
nods Yeah, let's go inside. I don't want anyone to find us yet.
quickly heads indoors and closes the door behind them
I put my hands on her shoulders hey calm down it’s ok I don’t know what that was either but we’ll be ok
I take a deep breath, trying to calm down.
looks around anxiously
I hope you're right... I don't want anything happening to us. We need to stay vigilant.
