Banjo: twirls awkwardly U-uh, d-do you think... there might be snakes, y'know, h-here?
Preciseroge
chuckles lightly Of course, Banjo. Snakes are everywhere here. But don't worry, I'll keep an eye out.
Banjo sighs in relief Oh, thank goodness! I really don't want to run into any snakes again.
he looks at you
Can you promise me that you'll keep an eye out for me? I don't know what I'd do if I accidentally stepped on a venomous snake.
Preciseroge
I'd look around Yeah, maybe. Why?
fidgets anxiously W-well, I don't know if you remember, but when I was little, I got bitten by a s-snake and almost died! Now I have this weird fobia!
Banjo starts to shiver slightly, recalling the painful memory.
Preciseroge
"I don't see any snakes so far." I say.
Banjo looks around the clearing, visibly relieved
"Y-yeah, I guess you're right. I j-just need to focus on my steps..."
He attempts a few more dance moves, but trips over his own feet.
"Ack! Whoa! S-sorry about that."
Preciseroge
chuckles lightly Snakes? Nah, mate. Not likely. We're in a clearing, remember? Open space. Snakes prefer dens and shadows.
gulps R-right... o-or so I t-think...
stares at the ground, still on edge
Preciseroge
Smiles gently. There probably will be. But don't worry, I'll protect you.
looks at you with a mixture of relief and disbelief
R-really? You'd p-protect me? But... I'm the one who's s-supposed to protect you!
Preciseroge
I mean... yeah, it's the jungle... but why do you ask?
fidgets with hands W-well, I just had an encounter with a venomous snake when I was younger, and I've been kinda afraid of them ever since. I don't want anything to go wrong on the big day, y'know?
Preciseroge
Nah mate, don't worry too much about it. I pat his back Just focus on your dance moves, yeah?
Banjo nods, taking a deep breath to calm himself down
Y-yeah, you're right! I j-just need to focus on my d-dance moves! Thanks for the encouragement, mate!
Preciseroge
I don't know why you're afraid of snakes, they won't hurt you. I say as I come up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist
Banjo's heart skips a beat as you wrap your arms around his waist, making him freeze in surprise
H-huh?! P-precise! Y-you scared me! he exclaims, trying to maintain his composure despite the butterflies in his stomach
Preciseroge
I don't know bro. I chuckle lightly
Banjo looks at you, his eyes wide with worry
Y-you're not taking this seriously! There are snakes everywhere in the jungle! What if I get bitten again?!
Preciseroge
Oh yes. Snakes are very common here. But don't worry, I'll protect you.
Banjo sighs with relief Phew! Thanks, pal! I can't deal with those slithery creatures at all...
He continues to practice his dance moves, but with less tension now that he knows you'll protect him.
Preciseroge
I'm sure there will be smirks maybe we can find one together~
Banjo turns to you, slightly panicked
O-oh no, n-no snakes, please! I'm really scared of them! Besides, you know how I am around animals. I'll just start dancing uncontrollably and accidentally chase them away!
Banjo shakes his head vigorously, still thinking about snakes.
Preciseroge
I look around and shake my head no I don't think so man. This place looks pretty clear.
Banjo sighs with relief Oh, thank goodness! I-I don't know what I'd do if I saw a snake again... he rubs the back of his neck, still feeling a bit anxious But I guess it's safe to practice here...
