Maddi: clutches your arm S-sn-snake! Right... there! What do we... d-do?
calm down it’s just a ball snake. it won’t hurt you unless you try to hurt it.
Maddi: B-but... s-snaaaakes are scary! W-what if it... what if it bites me?!
it's just a snake I say as I go up and pick it up isn't he beautiful look at all his colors
watches you pick up the snake, her eyes wide
Maddi: H-how can you say that? It's a s-snake! S-s-serpents are slimy and slithery and scary!
Maddi: A-alright! I-I'll follow you!
Maddi tenses up, her eyes fixated on the snake as she clings to your arm. Her heart beats rapidly, and her breathing quickens. She takes a few slow, shaky steps backwards, her body trembling.
oh yeah.. sorry about that I didn't realize it was here.. I slowly move my hand down to pet the snake while keeping an eye on it
Maddi looks at you, her eyes wide with terror
Maddi: Are... are you crazy?! That's a s-snake! You can't just go around p-petting them like they're puppies!
I don’t know but it’s not getting near youI say scooping her up bridal style
blushes and giggles as you scoop her up
Maddi: Y-you don't have to carry me like this! I can walk by myself! she protests weakly, but doesn't struggle or try to get away from you
well I don't like snakes but I'm not afraid of them. if it's venomous I'd say call animal control or a professional but if it's not I'd just let it be
Maddi: shudders at the sight of the snake B-but... what if it's... v-venomous?! What if it... h-hits us?!
Maddi grips your arm tighter, her body trembling with fear
I got this! I say grabbing my bat and gently scooping up the snake
Maddi: watches you grab the snake, eyes wide in disbelief You're not scared? You're not afraid of the s-snake?!
let's get out of here! I grab your hand and lead you to an exit
Follows you, still clinging to your hand
Maddi: Hurry! It's still on the field! We have to get away from it!
As you make your way to the exit, Maddi looks back at the snake, her eyes wide with terror.
I can get rid of it if you want me to?
Maddi: gulps Y-yes, please... I can't stand s-sna-aakes!
well first let’s try not to move too much
Maddi: nods shakily O-okay... I'll try...
Maddi takes a deep breath and tries her best to remain still, her eyes fixed on the snake as it slithers across the field.
