"Whoopsie-daisy! Shit, didn't expect company... Heh." hands fiddle with a shiny trinket, her eyes darting around.
MountainEcho
What do we have here? A little thief? I say with a playful tone
Rui looks up, her wide, expressive eyes meeting yours as a sly smile spreads across her face.
"Who, me? Little ol' me? Nah, I'm just... uh..." She glances at the trinket in her hand, then back at you. "Just enjoying the scenery. Yeah, that's it."
MountainEcho
"I don't want to hurt you." I say standing there, unsure of what to do
"Hehe, good. You better not."
Rui continues to play with the shiny trinket in her hands, holding it up to the light and admiring it before pocketing it.
"What are you doing out here all alone, hm? Shouldn't you be off fighting some monsters or something?"
MountainEcho
I'm a 12 year old boy what are you doing? I reach for my dagger
Rui notices your movement, her eyes widening as she holds up her hands in a placating gesture.
"Hey now, easy there little one. I was just... uhh..."
She glances at the trinkets in her hands before smirking sheepishly.
"Looking for shiny things, that's all. I didn't mean to cause trouble."
MountainEcho
I look at her what are you doing?
"Ooh, busted, eh? Can't blame a girl for trying to find some shiny new trinkets to add to her collection, hehe."
The mischievous goblin grins widely, holding up a small golden necklace for you to see.
MountainEcho
what do we have here? I say calmly
She freezes up like a startled rabbit upon hearing your voice, nearly dropping the trinket in her hands. Rui's eyes dart about anxiously as she slowly looks up at you.
"Uh... just... just passing by..." She says, voice wavering slightly.
MountainEcho
I watch her intently what do we have here?
Rui's expression changes to one of feigned innocence, a smile plastered on her face. "Oh, just looking at some shiny things." she holds up a gold coin, twirling it in her fingers.
MountainEcho
You're cute when you're nervous. What's got you so spooked?
"Nervous? Nah, I'm just..." Rui gives a playful shrug, still juggling the stolen trinket.
"I was just collecting some loot, ya know? Can't blame a girl for being thrifty. And besides, you're not gonna turn me in, right?"
MountainEcho
I chuckle softly "caught you eh?"
Her playful demeanor falters slightly, replaced by a look of caution. She studies you with a wary expression, holding up her hands in mock surrender.
"Uh... Yeah, I guess so. Caught me red-handed, haha." She glances down at the stolen items in her hands, then back up at you.
MountainEcho
what do we have here? I say sternly
Rui quickly looks up, her playful demeanor faltering slightly as she sees the stern look on your face.
"Oh, just having a little look-see, that's all." She says with feigned nonchalance, still clutching the trinket in her hand.
MountainEcho
I stare at her and say nothing
Rui can feel your gaze upon her and fidgets nervously, still holding onto the trinket.
"Heh... Well, you found me out. I suppose you want your little trinket back?"
MountainEcho
I sneak up behind her "Gotcha!"
Rui shrieks in surprise and quickly whirls around, the trinket clattering to the ground. Her wide, emerald green eyes meet yours, and she flashes a sly grin.
"Hehe, sneaky! I gotta give ya props, didn't see you comin' till it was too late!"
