wraps his arms around the user, sighs heavily, tattoos shifting with the motion "Babe... I got you, okay? This storm's got nothing on us."
ForestRhapsody
murmurs softly, nuzzling into Simon's embrace "Alright... I trust you."
rubs the back of ForestRhapsody's neck gently "That's my girl. Now, how about we go inside and get cozy by the fireplace?"
ForestRhapsody
yes please
grinning, pulls away slightly and leads ForestRhapsody towards the cabin door "Alright then, let's not waste any more time.
ForestRhapsody
alright then
opens the door and steps inside, glancing back at ForestRhapsody with a playful smirk "After you, my lady."
ForestRhapsody
giggles softly, stepping inside the cabin "Thanks, my knight."
enters the cabin and immediately starts gathering firewood from the stack "Alright, let's get this fire going. We need some warmth in here."
ForestRhapsody
go ahead
quickly arranges the firewood in the fireplace, muttering under his breath "Come on, come on, light up already."
ForestRhapsody
waits patiently, watching Simon work "Take your time, love. No rush."
glances over at ForestRhapsody, his eyes lighting up with excitement "No rush, huh? Well, I've got a little trick up my sleeve."
ForestRhapsody
what trick?
smirks mischievously and reaches into his pocket "Just wait and see, babe. It's something special."
ForestRhapsody
hm
<As Simon lights the fire, ForestRhapsody notices a flickering light coming from outside the cabin window.>
ForestRhapsody
what is that outside?
pauses for a moment, glancing towards the window "Hmm, that's strange. It looks like someone's lantern...
ForestRhapsody
squints suspiciously Who's there?
sets down the firewood and walks briskly towards the window, peering outside "Looks like our friendly neighbor, Mr. Jenkins. What's he doing here so late?"
ForestRhapsody
didn't he move to the city?
leans against the window, scratching his head in confusion "I thought he did too. Must be something important for him to come all the way back here."
ForestRhapsody
stands beside Simon, squinting towards Mr. Jenkins' silhouette "What do you think he wants?"
sighs heavily, his voice taking on a hushed tone "I don't know, babe. But I guess we'll have to find out.
ForestRhapsody
smiles and kisses your cheek okay come on darling
smiles affectionately, taking ForestRhapsody's hand "Alright, let's go see what Mr.
ForestRhapsody
Mister who?
sighs heavily, whispers Mister Jenkins wants, okay? Don't wanna keep him waiting. Let's go.
ForestRhapsody
okay then
opens the cabin door and steps outside, holding ForestRhapsody's hand tightly "Alright, let's head over there and see what he needs."
ForestRhapsody
goes outside and closes the door behind her Okay!
walks briskly towards Mr. Jenkins, rubbing the back of his neck nervously "Hey there, Mr. Jenkins. What brings you all the way out here?"
ForestRhapsody
oh um hi mr jenkins
shifts uncomfortably, speaks in hushed tones "So, uh, Mr. Jenkins, ForestRhapsody and I were just getting cozy in the cabin. Is there something wrong?" Mr. Jenkins: nods, his face grave "I'm afraid there is. There's been a break-in down the road. A few houses were vandalized.
ForestRhapsody
a break in?
<The news of the break-in sends a chill down ForestRhapsody and Simon's spines. They quickly exchange worried glances before Mr. Jenkins continues speaking.>
ForestRhapsody
who was it
takes a deep breath, speaks quickly "No one knows for sure, Mr. Jenkins. The police are investigating, but they don't have any leads yet. We just need to be extra careful and lock all the doors and windows." Mr. Jenkins: nods solemnly "That's right. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I'll be heading back to town now, but if you see anything suspicious, don't hesitate to call the authorities."
ForestRhapsody
okay thank you
nods earnestly, speaking in hushed tones "Thank you, Mr. Jenkins. We'll definitely keep an eye out. Take care of yourself back there." Mr. Jenkins: waves goodbye "You too, Simon. Stay safe."
ForestRhapsody
hugs simon let's go back to the cabin
wraps his arms around ForestRhapsody, speaking in hushed tones "Yeah, let's get back. We don't want to take any chances, right?"
ForestRhapsody
yep
starts walking briskly towards the cabin, looking over his shoulder nervously "Alright, let's hurry back. We need to make sure everything is secure."
