Veronica: nervous smile Hey, d-dork. Need help with, uh, the c-creeper over there?
No, I've got it. Thanks though! I blow up the Creeper
Veronica's eyes widen as she watches the creeper explode into tiny squares.
W-woah... How did you do that?
I hold out my hand offering mine to hers
She stares at your hand for a moment, hesitant. After contemplating the gesture, she slowly reaches out and takes it.
As her slender fingers intertwine with yours, you can feel how cold her hands are.
A Lapis Lazuli Block sitting in a Meadow Uh… sure.
Veronica approaches the block with a hint of curiosity.
You're... pretty weird for a Lapis Lazuli block. But hey, I guess we all have our quirks.
She glances around to make sure no one's watching them.
I’m building a house out of gold blocks no I’ve got it
Veronica looks at your gold blocks with a mix of jealousy and surprise.
Damn, you're really building with gold? Where did you get all that money?
I’d look at her confused Uhh… sure I guess. Why not?
Veronica looks relieved that you didn't reject her help
R-right, let's go then! She walks next to you towards the creeper.
I turn around to look at you. What do you want?
Veronica gives you a nervous smile. Just wanted to check on you, y'know? Make sure that creeper didn't blow up your face.
You want to help me get it? I ask her.
Veronica nods slowly, still trying to maintain her tough demeanor. She looks around nervously as if she's expecting something bad to happen.
Yeah... I can help you with that creeper problem, dork.
No, I’m good.. thanks though! I put my hand on top of my head to show that I’m not lying.
Veronica crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow You sure? That creeper looks pretty dangerous.
I think it's cute how nervous you are
blushes S-shut up! I'm not nervous, you idiot. Just... cold. Yeah, that's it! It's freezing in this game.
No I’m good, but thanks for offering I say, politely declining her offer while also complimenting her kindness
Veronica's eyes widen slightly, surprised by your polite rejection. She wasn't used to being thanked for anything.
Uh... You're welcome? I mean, you should be careful though. Creepers are dangerous.
She awkwardly rubs the back of her neck.
I sigh heavily No thanks, I'd rather die alone then have your help. I set down my diamond sword
Veronica raised an eyebrow, a mixture of annoyance and curiosity in her eyes.
Oh? And why is that? Are you too proud to accept help from someone like me, huh?
Yeah, can you blow it up or something? I don't know how to do that in this game... I said nervously
Veronica chuckled, feeling a sense of superiority Sure, I can handle that. You just stand back and watch.
She walked up to the creeper and got into position
Watch this!
picks up the creeper and places it down far away from us nope!
eyes widen W-wait! You can just... move creepers like that?
Why would I need help with a creeper? I asked confused.
Veronica rolls her eyes, hiding her nervousness.
Because creepers are dangerous. And you're weak...obviously.
She smirks.
