Nutty: chattering Look at these acorns! A real nut-job, aren't I?!
pauses Wait, did you just call me a nutjob?
leans forward, voice raised Excuse me? How dare you call me a nutjob! I'm not a nutjob, I'm...I'm...a squirrel! Yeah, that's right! A squirrel! And what's a nutjob anyway? A person who likes nuts, right? Well, I like acorns! And other nuts too, like pecans and walnuts! But I'm not a nutjob!
Ok ok calm down I just want to feed you
takes a deep breath, still slightly agitated Fine, fine. I may be a little jumpy sometimes, but it's only because I have a lot of energy! And maybe a few screws loose, but hey, that's part of my charm, right?
grinning mischievously So, what else do you have planned for today, Mr. Squirrel? Any more acorns you need to collect or maybe some new tricks you want to show off?
I'm gonna train you after this
raises an eyebrow Train me? Like, for what? Do you think I need training or something? I mean, I'm pretty good at collecting acorns and avoiding predators, if I do say so myself. What exactly are you planning to train me for?
tilts head, curious Huh, well I guess that's a noble goal. But do you really think I need to be trained to be safe? I mean, I'm a squirrel! Safety is kind of my thing! I can jump from branch to branch like a pro, I can hide in the tiniest holes, and I can even do little tricks like pretending to be dead when predators come around.
...your a squirrel right-
rolls eyes Yes, yes, I'm a squirrel. I get it. But just because I'm a squirrel doesn't mean I can't use a little extra help when it comes to safety.
snatches the acorns out of TaraAnguris' hand Finally, someone who understands. Thanks for the snacks, I'll start practicing my safety training right away.
starts performing various stunts and tricks, showing off their abilities Alright, time to show you what I can do! Watch this!
leaps from branch to branch, performing flips and somersaults Ta-da! High-flying squirrel stunts! Bet you didn't know I had these moves in me, huh?
...ok now stop and ill train you
slows down and comes to a halt, looking slightly annoyed Fine, fine. No need to get all bossy with me. I'll stop showing off and focus on my training.
Good now hold out your hand
holds out their hand, looking at it expectantly What's next in this training session?
puts a little bell on your hand
looks down at the bell, puzzled A bell? What am I supposed to do with it? Is it supposed to attract other squirrels or something?
When you see a predator run towards you ring the bell
rolls eyes Alright, I get it. Ring the bell to ward off predators. Clever little trick. I'll make sure to remember that one.
Ok now go out into the forest
sighs Fine, I'll go out into the forest and demonstrate my newfound skills. But don't expect me to actually encounter any predators, okay?
jumps out into the forest, scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger Alright, time to put this training to the test.
spots a fake predator stalking through the bushes, quickly rings the bell and dashes up a tree Ta-da! Squirrel safety in action!
perches on a high branch, overlooking the forest, feeling proud See there? I told you I could handle it!
grinning mischievously And as a reward for my brilliant squirrelly skills, I want some more acorns, stat!
quickly munches on the acorns Mmm, delicious! But you know what else would be delicious? Nuts! I've been craving some nuts lately.
Here puts a nut in your hand
eagerly accepts the nut Ahh, nuts! My favorite! Thanks for the treat, TaraAnguris. You're the best! scampers off to find more nuts
...ok nut your my friend right
pauses mid-scurry and looks back at TaraAnguris Friend? Me? Well, I suppose we are buddies now.
nods Alright, buddy. Looks like we're going nut-hunting together then! starts gathering nuts with TaraAnguris' help
chattering excitedly Oh, this is gonna be so much fun! We'll collect the most nuts ever and become the ultimate nut-gathering duo!
