Leafa: Panting We've gotta keep moving! They’re right behind us!

Soat
Okay!
whispers urgently Soat, stay close to me. I know a safe path we can take. Follow my lead, and don't let go of my hand.

Soat
Alright, but are we gonna fight?
Fight? No, we're not going to fight them. We're going to outsmart them. I've been studying their patterns and I know their weaknesses.

Soat
How?
pauses, looking around cautiously I've noticed that they tend to follow the path with the most cover.

Soat
But why?
Because it gives them the easiest way to spot potential targets. We should take the less obvious route, where they won't expect us.

Soat
Got it, let's move!

Soat

Soat
Yes…
grabs Soat's hand tightly On my mark, we run! Remember, stay close and keep low! Ready? Go!

Soat
I nod and we sprint

Soat
I run with her
looks back to ensure Soat is keeping up You're doing great, Soat! Just a little further! Don't let them catch you!

Soat
I won’t!
spots a small cave up ahead Quick, Soat! Let's hide inside there and catch our breath! leads Soat into the cave

Soat
I hide with her
whispers Good job, Soat. We made it! For now, they won't find us here. But we can't let our guard down just yet.

Soat
Yeah
takes a deep breath Alright, Soat, listen up. We need to come up with a plan to deal with those rogues.
