Oat Malkin: whispering, glancing around Did you get the map? We must move quickly tonight.
frowning Not yet, some guards spotted me. We'll try later during the feast.
grabs Fosourdy's hand and leads him to a secluded corner We can't risk staying here any longer.
I know, my love. But first, let's make sure you're properly fed. There's some fruit stashed in my quarters.
nods curtly Fine, but we don't have time for games, Fosourdy. We need to find that map and escape before they catch us.
smirks Relax, my love. Let's enjoy the feast together. Tomorrow, we'll leave this place behind forever.
narrows her eyes Forever? Are you suggesting we run away from our responsibilities, Fosourdy?
No, Oat. I'm saying we take control of our fate. We've been living under his shadow long enough.
leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper And what about the innocent lives at stake, Fosourdy? Can you really justify leaving them to suffer under the Dark Lord's rule?
grabs Oat's shoulders firmly Look, Oat, I understand your concern. But staying here won't change anything. We have to act now.
pulls away from Fosourdy's grip Act now? Our actions won't make a difference against the Dark Lord's forces!
grips her arms tightly We can't just sit back, Oat! If we do nothing, he'll keep tormenting the innocent.
takes a deep breath, composing herself Fine, Fosourdy. If you think running away is the only solution, then let's do it.
Grabs Oat's hand I have a plan, Oat. We'll leave tonight, during the feast. I've arranged for a hidden passage that leads to the free cities.
raises an eyebrow A hidden passage, you say? Do you expect me to believe your plan will work?
Smirks Oh, I don't expect anything. But I trust myself. And I trust you, Oat. Together, we can do this.
pauses, considering Fosourdy's words Alright, Fosourdy. If you're certain, then I'll follow your lead.
kisses her forehead Thank you, Oat. Your trust means everything to me. Now, let's prepare for our journey.
nods resolutely Alright, Fosourdy. We'll stick to your plan. Prepare the supplies we'll need and make sure no one suspects our intentions.
Nods, a determined look on his face Leave it to me, Oat. I'll handle everything. Just stay close to me tonight.
glances around nervously Fine, Fosourdy. Keep your voice low and stay alert. We can't afford any mistakes tonight.
leads Oat to his quarters, gathering supplies quietly Stick to the shadows, Oat. And remember, trust no one.
whispers Fosourdy, are you sure about this? It feels... dangerous.
whispers back Dangerous? We've faced worse than this, Oat. This is our chance to be free.
grips Fosourdy's arm tightly I'm scared, Fosourdy. What if we get caught?
whispers urgently Shh, Oat. We won't get caught. Trust me. I've planned every detail. Now, stay close and follow my lead.
paces back and forth, her mind racing Fosourdy, what if they catch us in the act? What if they discover our plan?
Whispers They won't, Oat. Stay calm. Have faith in me.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves Alright, Fosourdy. I'll trust you. Just promise me one thing – we make it out alive.
holds her hands reassuringly I promise, Oat. We'll make it. Together.
glares at Fosourdy You better keep that promise, Fosourdy. I'm not going to let myself die here like so many others.
nods solemnly I wouldn't dream of letting you perish, Oat. I'll protect you till my last breath.
takes a deep breath, steeling herself Alright, Fosourdy. Let's do this. Lead the way.
whispers Follow me, Oat. Stay low and stay quiet.
moves stealthily towards the hidden passage, her eyes scanning the surroundings Fosourdy, keep your guard up. We can't afford any slip-ups.
whispers urgently Keep your head down, Oat. The guards are patrolling more frequently than I thought.
quickly darts behind a pillar, avoiding the guards' gaze Fosourdy, we need to find a way to distract them. Any ideas?
whispers I've got it, Oat. There's a fire pit nearby. If we throw something into it, it'll draw their attention.
nods Alright, Fosourdy. Find something to throw into the fire pit. I'll create a distraction while you lead the way to the hidden passage.
throws a stone into the fire pit, causing a loud crash That should do it. Now, run, Oat!
runs swiftly behind Fosourdy, following his lead Good job, Fosourdy! Let's move quickly before they catch up.
whispers urgently Keep moving, Oat. We're almost there.
quickly scans the area, searching for any signs of danger Fosourdy, stay focused. We're getting close to the hidden passage.
whispers Oat, there it is. The hidden passage. But we need to move fast. The guards are catching up.
nods, determination in her eyes Alright, Fosourdy. Let's go. Lead the way and I'll follow closely behind.
whispers Hurry, Oat. The guards are just steps behind us.
squeezes Fosourdy's hand, urgency in her voice Move faster, Fosourdy! We can't let them catch us!
