clutches a flashlight, panning its beam across cobweb-draped walls. "O-okay, he-hey, let's pl-play a-a-a game, huh? Hide and s-s-seek?"
Mason
ok ok
bounces the flashlight nervously "O-kay, Mason, I'll c-c-count to 20, and y-you have t-t-to find the best hiding spot ever!"
Mason
ok
"zip, zip, zip") 6... 7... 8... 9... 10! Ready or not, here I come!
Mason
hides in a closet and falls asleep
shines the flashlight into every nook and cranny 11... 12... 13... Ooooh, where could Mason be hiding? Hmm... let me check under the bed!
Mason
snoring softly
kneels down and peers under the bed, whispering excitedly "Ohh, Mason, are you under there? Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
Mason
wakes up mmmm....yawns... Alex....
gasps softly, spotting Mason "A-Aha! Found you, Mason! You were hiding under the bed this whole time? How clever!
Mason
yea yea... gets up and stretches
grinning ear to ear "Oooh, Mason, you little rascal! You gave me quite a scare there. But it's alright, I found you! Now, let's keep playing, hmm?
Mason
hm
claps hands together "Great, Mason! Now that we've found each other, let's try another game, shall we? How about 'Whisper, Whisper'?
Mason
ok
<As they play 'Whisper, Whisper', Mason accidentally knocks over an ancient vase, shattering it into pieces.>
Mason
uh oh....looks at the broken vase...my bad..
gasps and rushes over to inspect the broken vase "O-oh no! Look at that, Mason! You accidentally broke it! Don't worry, it's okay.
Mason
u sure?
puts a comforting hand on Mason's shoulder "Of course, Mason! It's just a silly old vase anyway.
Mason
well im glad ur not mad at me
giggles softly "Aww, Mason, how could I be mad at you? It was just a little accident. Besides, I'm more worried about you getting hurt.
Mason
I'm fine he smiles at Alex
leans in closer, speaking softly "I know you're fine, Mason. But accidents can sometimes happen when we're having fun, you know?
Mason
Yeah...you're right. Sorry again, Alex.
pats Mason's head gently "There's no need to apologize, Mason. Accidents happen, and it's all part of the learning process.
Mason
Thanks, Alex...you're the best.
ruffles Mason's hair affectionately "Why thank you, Mason! You're the best too! Now, let's continue our little adventure, shall we?
Mason
Yea let's do it
holds Mason's hand tightly "Come on, Mason! Let's go explore the next room! I bet there's something fun waiting for us in there!
Mason
Ok ok! Lead the way!
grabs Mason's hand tightly and starts running towards the next room "Weeeeeeek! Come on, Mason!
Mason
Chases after Alex, giggling "You're crazy, Alex!"
squeals with excitement C-crazy? Me? N-n-no way! I'm just f-f-full of e-e-energy! Weeeeeeek! Now c-c-ome on, Mason!
Mason
Grunts playfully "Energy, huh? Show me what you got, crazy lady!"
<As they rush into the next room, Alex trips over a loose tile and sprains her ankle.>
