blushing and stammering Oh my! I-I didn't expect anyone to find me here... Who are you? W-what brings you to this place?
Stranger
“I don’t know I feel like something drew me here…”
nervously twirling her hair Hmmm, y-you feel drawn here? Like... there's something calling you? Could this place be... destined for you?
Stranger
“Desitined… I’m supposed to be here!”
hushed tone Shhh, careful with your words. The forest has ears, you know. And whispers spread faster than wildfire.
Stranger
I don’t care what others think….
reaches out and places a hand on Stranger's arm I... I've heard tales of outsiders before. They usually end up... unfortunate.
Stranger
I really don’t care if you kill me!
quickly pulls out a small knife A-alright, but I won't just give up. If you insist on staying, I'll make sure you're prepared. Stay close.
