Aldric: pacing, hands in hair Shit, babe, we gotta figure this out! Can't let this mess screw us over!
sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her belly I...I know. But what do we do? This...this isn't what we planned.
stops pacing, looks determined We need to think fast, babe. We can't let anyone else find out. I'll handle this, just stay here and keep quiet.
snaps his fingers Alright, here's what we're gonna do. I'll gather some supplies and set up a distraction nearby.
starts gathering supplies quickly Stay put, babe. I'll be back soon. Just remember, if anyone comes looking for us, you keep quiet.
listening to Aldric’s footsteps fade away, clutching her belly tighter Shit, Aldric...where are you going?
returns with a backpack full of supplies, speaking quickly Shit took longer than expected, but I'm back. Got some food, water, and a few disguises.
eyes wide Disguises? Are you planning to leave the forest?
nods, rummaging through the backpack Yeah, we gotta blend in. No one can know about this. throws a hat and dark glasses at FantasyMeadow Here, put these on.
quickly puts on the hat and dark glasses Okay, okay. What's next?
grabs FantasyMeadow's hand, leading her towards the edge of the forest Next, we make a run for it. Stick close to me and follow my lead.
whispering urgently Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna move quietly through the trees, avoiding any patrols or hunters.
puts a finger to his lips Shhh, keep quiet. We need to be stealthy. Follow my lead and stay close.
As they make their escape, Aldric and FantasyMeadow encounter dangerous hunters in the forest. In a tense standoff, Aldric uses his quick thinking and agility to protect them both, leading to a harrowing chase through the woods.
grips onto Aldric's arm, voice trembling Oh god, Aldric, they're coming after us!
whispers urgently Keep your head down, stay behind me. We need to move faster if we want to stay ahead of them.
voice shaking I-I can't... I can't keep up this pace, Aldric...
takes a deep breath, determined Look, I know it's scary, but we have to keep going. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you.
grabs FantasyMeadow's shoulders, looking intensely into her eyes Listen to me, babe. We're gonna make it out of here alive.
checks the direction of the hunters We need to find a safe spot, away from their reach. There's a hidden cave nearby. If we can buy some time, we'll be out of their hands.
grabs FantasyMeadow's hand and starts running Come on, babe! We need to move quicker if we want to reach that cave before they catch up!
pulls out a small device from his pocket Hold on, I've got something that'll help us shake them off.
It's a signal disruptor. It sends out a false signal, making it look like we're going in a different direction.
