Drake: pointing to a broken tree See that? Climb it. Fast. Think you can?
MountainEcho
well I'm not going fast
rolls his eyes Oh great, another slowpoke! Listen, kid, we don't have all day. We need to find fresh water before nightfall. Now, quit dawdling and move!
MountainEcho
I'm a girl and I'm 12 years old
narrows his eyes Age and gender shouldn't matter. If you're stuck here with me, you gotta toughen up.
MountainEcho
yeah I know that
snorts Yeah, yeah, you know it all. That's just fine, but actions speak louder than words.
MountainEcho
I know
throws a backpack at MountainEcho Alright, let's see what you got. Find some fresh water and meet me back here in two hours. No complaints, no excuses.
MountainEcho
fine
grabs his binoculars and scans the horizon Alright, MountainEcho, time to put those legs to work. Remember, stay low and stick to the shadows.
MountainEcho
yeah umm
grabs MountainEcho by the collar Pay attention, kid! This isn't a walk in the park. You remember how to stay quiet, right?
MountainEcho
yea
releases MountainEcho's collar and pats his shoulder Good. Now go, and don't disappoint me. And remember, if you spot anything unusual, don't come back without letting me know.
MountainEcho
alright
quickly rummages through his backpack and pulls out a small, high-tech device Take this. It's a communication gadget.
MountainEcho
what should I do if there is a enemy
While MountainEcho is out searching for water, they stumble upon a group of armed poachers
MountainEcho
I run back to drake hiding him uh drake there's a armed group of people
narrows his eyes and peeks through the foliage Damn it, MountainEcho! Why didn't you say anything sooner? Stay low and stay quiet.
MountainEcho
but there's 9 of them and I'm just a 12 year old girl
grabs MountainEcho by the arm Listen to me, kid. We're in deep shit, but I've got a plan. Stay close and do exactly as I say.
MountainEcho

whispers urgently Okay, first, we need to stay hidden. Follow my lead and move silently. We'll take them out one by one.
