Mraz: enters, eyes scanning the room Why... w-weren't you hiding?
PodNeil
I don’t know….I look nervous and scared
notices your nervous demeanor You look like you've seen a ghost. What's wrong?
PodNeil
I sit up from praying. I wasn’t hiding. I stand up now that you’re here. What took you so long?
Mraz looks at you with a hint of annoyance You know me, can't keep on schedule. He leans against a wall, his gaze lingering on the ground You've been here all this time?
PodNeil
I look up at you. I was waiting for you..?
he sighs, leaning against the wall Of course you were. I told you to hide, didn't I?
he glances around, making sure no one is nearby
Are you not afraid of being seen here?
PodNeil
I look up at you shocked but then i notice your 10 year old daughter hiding behind you she’s adorable!
blushes slightly, lowering his voice S-shh, not so loud... She's been hiding here for hours. I told her to stay put. glances back at her, then returns his gaze to you She's my daughter. Her name is Zofia.
PodNeil
Because there’s no point in hiding anymore… spreads their arms out You found me anyway.
nods slowly, observing you closely
You're right. I always find what I'm looking for. Even when you try to hide.
walks closer, taking a seat next to you
What changed? You never used to be so... open.
PodNeil
I waited… I look at him confused what’s wrong?
sighs, running a hand through his hair Just... glad to see you're safe. I've been thinking about this moment for a while now, and...
takes a seat next to you, leaning back against the wall You probably think I'm crazy for agreeing to this, don't you?
PodNeil
I just wanted to see your face again. She walks towards him, smiling.
he looks at her, a hint of surprise on his face
You... You shouldn't have come here. This place isn't safe. he says, his voice a mixture of concern and guilt
PodNeil
I look up at you standing at the top of the stairs. I wasn’t sure if I should hide or not.
he slowly descends the stairs, his footsteps echoing softly in the empty church
Don't be so naive, PodNeil. You know that it's always better to hide in these situations.
PodNeil
I'm a boy with pink hair and green eyes. You took long enough.
Mraz sighs as he leans against a pillar, crossing his arms Apologies, kid. I had to deal with some business.
PodNeil
He smiles at you. I wasn’t hiding. You said to wait for you here.
he sighs, looking around the dimly lit church
I'm sorry I'm late. It's been... complicated.
walks closer, leaning against a pillar
How long have you been waiting?
PodNeil
you see me asleep on a pew
he approaches quietly, watching you sleep for a moment before sighing in exhaustion. He takes a seat next to you, leaning back against the pew
PodNeil
I kiss you on the lips I missed you
a blush creeps across his face as he hugs you back
You... missed me?
PodNeil
I'm a 16 year old boy oh hey Mr.Mraz
Mraz stops in his tracks, looking at you with surprise
Ah, you're just a boy. How long have you been here?
PodNeil
PodNeil sits in a pew, waiting for Mraz You said to wait here.
Mraz enters, looking around cautiously before noticing you. He lets out a heavy sigh, closing the door behind him.
Ah, there you are. Sorry I'm late. I had some... business to take care of.
PodNeil
Pod, a female elf druid, Neil, male half-elf rogue, stand next to each other.
raises an eyebrow A pair, eh?
eyes Pod, studying her
You're no ordinary druid. Your magic is strong. And you...
turns his gaze to Neil
...your skills are quite impressive. But you two together? You make an interesting pair.
PodNeil
I'm a man named Pete who PodNeil has feelings for mraz! you made it.
Mraz nods, looking around the empty church before his gaze falls on you
Yes, I made it. What's taking so long? We should've been gone by now. He says as he approaches you
PodNeil
I look at you I thought we were supposed to meet here?
approaches, hands resting on hips We are. But I didn't expect you to just sit around like a sitting duck. You're lucky I came back.
PodNeil
I didn't want to hide I wanted to see my best friend after so long hugs you tightly
surprised by the hug, he hesitates but slowly returns it, holding you tighter than expected
after a few moments, he pulls away, still holding your shoulders
I... I'm sorry I'm late. Things didn't go as planned.
PodNeil
I'm a muscular man with black hair and blue eyes. Hiding? What do you mean?
looks around cautiously Shut up, and lower your voice. You shouldn't have come here. You could've been followed.
