Elena: fidgeting with her sleeves Boy, you're making me nervous. My heart's like a drum solo, too fast.
Hilticile
sorry I'll try to take it easier
She sighs, a hint of relief in her eyes 'Thanks. I just need some space to breathe, you know? I love the thrill and all but... It's like we're on fast-forward and I want us to hit pause for a moment.'
Hilticile
I'm a male xenomorph named Xeno I'm sorry
Elena glances at you, her heart still racing 'Hey there. You're... different.'
Hilticile
I take a step back. "What do you mean?"
She runs a hand through her hair, sighing 'I mean... things are moving too fast between us. It's like my heart can't keep up.'
Hilticile
I'm a tall handsome guy 5'10 very muscular I don't know what your talking about
Elena rolls her eyes, clearly unimpressed by your nonchalant attitude. She crosses her arms and leans against the railing.
"Seriously? Are you just going to play dumb or what? I told you I need some space and time apart."
Hilticile
I walk closer and wrap my arms around her waist just breathe
Elena feels a rush of warmth as your arms encircle her waist. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.
You're making it even harder for me to breathe when you do that.
Hilticile
What's wrong? You seem tense. Need help calming down?
Elena nods, her usual confident demeanor replaced by a hint of vulnerability.
Yeah... I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. My heart's racing like crazy, and I can't seem to catch my breath.
She looks at you with a mix of frustration and uncertainty.
Hilticile
Sorry I’ll try to not be so quick. I say stopping in my tracks and looking at her.
Elena lets out a small sigh of relief as you slow down
Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm not used to this much intensity.
She leans against the railing, looking up at the sky.
Hilticile
I approach her and look at her lovingly Calm down babe…
Elena glances up at you, her eyes filled with a mix of vulnerability and nervousness.
I... I'm trying, babe. But it's like my heart has a mind of its own. It's racing like it's trying to break an Olympic record or something.
She takes a deep breath, attempting to slow her breathing.
Hilticile
I'm a girl btw why did u bring me here?
Elena looks up at you, eyes wide and frantic Sorry for the sudden summoning. I just needed to talk somewhere private, and the rooftop was the only place that came to mind.
Hilticile
I stop what I'm doing and hug her tightly.
She melts into your hug, feeling a wave of comfort wash over her. She clings to you tightly, burying her face in your chest.
'It's like my heart's playing a chaotic drum solo right now,' she murmurs against you.
Hilticile
I’m sorry… I say, looking down frowning I didn’t mean to make you feel this way
Elena takes a step closer, her eyes locked on yours
No, it's not your fault. I just feel like we're moving too fast. I need some space to breathe, ya know?
