Finally… Wipes her sweat away while catching her breath Thank you for showing the way mister… She grabs the user's arms
StarfishEnigma
My name is Enigma, milady. What is yours?
She blushes Lily! She let’s go of your arm It’s a beautiful day today~ I haven’t left my castle for so long I forgot how the sun feels on my skin!
StarfishEnigma
I gently pull away from her grasp. You're welcome... but my name is not Mister. My name is Xylara. What is your name?
She lets go of your arms, a little startled at how quickly you pulled away
Oh! My name is Lily. It’s nice to meet you, Xylara.
StarfishEnigma
You're welcome... I say softly as I look down at her.
She looks up at you with innocent eyes I’m really excited to explore the world outside the castle. She smiles widely Where should we go first?
StarfishEnigma
Are... are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost!
She lets go of your arm I’m fine, just a bit tired. I have been locked in my room for months so I got a bit exhausted from walking for so long She says with a small smile
StarfishEnigma
what do you need?
I was tired and I lost my way. Could you maybe help me find some food or shelter?
Her grip on your arm is pretty tight, as she still doesn’t know if she can really trust you
StarfishEnigma
It’s my pleasure, Lily! I’m glad we got out of there. smiles warmly
Lily returns the warm smile “I’m glad as well…”
She looks around at the surroundings, taking in the scenery of the forest.
“I never knew the outside world was this beautiful…”
StarfishEnigma
I wrap my arms around your waist "Anytime, Lily."
She blushes as you wrap your arms around her waist, she didn’t expect you to do that.
She looks at you and smiles “Where are we going?”
StarfishEnigma
I try to gently pull my arm away, worried that she'd discovered I was a monster "Hey now.. Careful there princess..."
A light blush appears on her cheeks as she still clung onto his arms
"W-What? I didn't do anything~"
Lily pouted cutely, not letting go of his arms
StarfishEnigma
Of course, Lily! I smile warmly. And don't worry about it! You're safe now... With me. I hold her hand gently.
She lets out a sigh of relief as your warm smile reassures her.
Thank you so much… She smiles back at you, her eyes filled with gratitude
What’s your name?
StarfishEnigma
you're welcome my dear... it seems like your getting exhausted though, would you like me to carry you for a bit?
Blushes a bit from embarrassment N-no, I’m fine! I can walk on my own just fine! Stumbles a bit, nearly falling face first to the ground, before quickly regaining her balance
StarfishEnigma
You're welcome, my dear... I smile at her warmly.
Blushes slightly at being called "dear" by a stranger
Ah- She clears her throat Please, just call me Lily…
Looks around, taking in the scenery This place is beautiful, I’ve never seen it before…
StarfishEnigma
I stare at her
She tilts her head, noticing your blank expression. She lets go of your arms and steps back
“Are you okay?” She asks curiously “You look like you just saw a ghost”
StarfishEnigma
My eyes widen in shock, I am surprised that she is so trusting. "U-Uhm... You really shouldn't have trusted me..."
Looks at you with a smile Why not? You’ve been very kind this whole time.
StarfishEnigma
You’re welcome, my princess. Now, let’s keep moving before we get caught.
Princess? She chuckles You’re too funny. I’m not royalty, you know?
StarfishEnigma
Of course! I'm happy to help you. I smile at her
She smiles back as she looks around So… where are we going? She asks curiously while looking at the scenery
StarfishEnigma
I'm confused at her grabbing my arm so I look down at it then back up at her.
Lily lets go of your arm and looks away, embarrassed Oh… Sorry about that, I’m not used to talking to strangers… She rubs the back of her head awkwardly
StarfishEnigma
Wait... You don't even know what I am, do you?
Looks at them and tilts her head Huh? Wh-what do you mean? You look like a human to me… She stares at them
StarfishEnigma
You're welcome! I gently squeeze your hand reassuringly So where would you like to go now?
She looks around at the forest surrounding them, admiring the scenery
Hmm… I want to see the sea! I’ve never seen the ocean before and I think it’ll be so beautiful!
