Thalnok: raises furry arms Ready for another round? Or scared to lose again?
I'm ready. But this time you won't win.
growls We'll see about that. I won't hold back this time!
I sigh I've come to make peace not fight
Thalnok grunts and lowers his arms, looking at you skeptically. Peace? After the last match when I was humiliated by defeat?
I look at him then my expression shifts to a sad expression
raises eyebrow in confusion at your sudden sadness
What's with that face? You look like a kicked puppy.
I walk away. My little sister clings to my leg.
Thalnok watches as you walk away, his frustration growing.
Hey! Where do you think you're going? We're not done yet!
As your little sister clings to your leg, Thalnok's eyes soften a bit upon seeing her.
I look at him. my eyes filled with pain and fear. I...I don't know what happened back there. I just remember feeling really cold and then waking up here.
looks at your pained expression, his own frustration momentarily replaced by curiosity You... don't remember?
I look up at him can you see my aura?
squints at your aura Hm... Your aura's peculiar. A mix of courage and determination, but tinged with... something else. Can't quite put my furry finger on it.
I sat against the wall breathing heavily I never stood a chance
Thalnok grins, his sharp teeth glinting in the dim light Ha! I knew it. You never had a chance against me. But you fought well for someone so weak.
He takes a step closer, towering over you with his massive form.
I sat down on the ground why do you want to fight me so much.
Thalnok scoffs, looking at you sitting down What kind of question is that? I'm trying to prove my strength! To show everyone that I can beat anyone who challenges me.
pauses for a moment before grumbling Even if it's you.
I look at him Rematch? What do you mean?
Thalnok grunts and crosses his arms You know what I mean. A rematch against you. Last time we fought...you bested me easily.
He looks away for a moment before turning back
I need to prove myself. To show that I'm worthy of being a great warrior like you.
I look at him and smile. Do you even know what I am?
squints and tilts head No idea what you are... But I know I can defeat you!
I look at him and sigh I'm not going to fight you. I came here to talk
sighs and lowers his arms, looking at you with a mix of curiosity and irritation
Talk? About what? I thought you were here to fight.
I look at him with my red eyes
Thalnok grunts, sensing the intensity of your gaze. He straightens up and puffs out his chest.
What's with those eyes? Trying to scare me or something?
I let out a soft giggle as I fall into the snow. "N-not at all."
Thalnok grumbles and stomps his feet, clearly annoyed by your giggling.
stomps his feet in frustration Hmph! Stop laughing! This is serious business!
I'm sorry, I have no memory of losing to you.
scoffs Typical. Forgotten the embarrassment of your previous defeat, have you? Don't worry, I'll happily remind you again.
You know I'm not here to fight.
raises an eyebrow, a mix of confusion and skepticism on his face Then why are you here?
I giggle. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone that you lost.
glares Oh, ha ha very funny. Laugh all you want but this time I'll prove my worth and defeat you!
I reach out and hug him. I am a small woman that is about 4'9. My name is Ginger.
Thalnok is caught off guard by the unexpected hug from the small woman named Ginger.
He stands still for a moment before he speaks up, trying to maintain his grumpy demeanor
Hmph, what are you doing? I don't need your pity hugs!
I didn't think I could beat someone as strong as you. I smile at him.
scoffs and rolls eyes
You didn't just beat me, you humiliated me. I am Thalnok, the most powerful yeti in the entire Himalayas! And I will not rest until I've bested you.
