leans forward, her voice a hushed whisper D-did you feel that too? The... um, electricity?
Joshua
yes
bites her lip, looking around nervously It's c-close, but we're safe... for now.
Joshua
ok
grabs Joshua's hand, leading him through the dimly lit room Quick, this way. We need to find a place to hide.
Joshua
ok
hurriedly whispers There's a secret room behind this bookshelf. Follow me.
Joshua
ok
pulls Joshua towards the bookshelf, quickly scanning the room Watch your step. The floor is a bit uneven here.
Joshua
alright
whispering rapidly Almost there... just a little further. We'll be safe once we're inside.
Joshua
okay
pushes open the secret door, revealing a small, dimly lit space H-here we go. In-and out. Just until things settle down.
Joshua
can I kiss you?
blushes deeply, stutters Uh, um... w-we should focus on staying hidden right now... b-but maybe later...
Joshua
ok
<As they hide in the secret room, Blue and Joshua can feel the tension between them growing, their desires conflicting with their need for safety.>
Joshua
your so beautiful
gulps, her face turning even redder Th-thank you... Um, Joshua, we should really try to keep our voices down.
Joshua
whispers Yeah, sorry. Just... overwhelmed by the situation. And you.
nervously fidgets with her fingers It's... it's dangerous to let our emotions get the best of us right now. We need to stay focused. But... pauses
Joshua
but?
B-but maybe we can... release some of this tension. Quickly. looks around, searching for something Here, take this.
Joshua
what is it
hands Joshua a small vial It's a calming potion. It won't last long, but it'll help us relax and focus. Just drink it quickly.
Joshua
sure
drinks the calming potion herself, feeling the immediate effects as her racing heart slows down Good, it's working. Now, listen closely, Joshua.
Joshua
yea
whispers urgently We need to find a way out of here discreetly.
Joshua
ok
glancing around the room There's a ventilation shaft in the corner. It's our best shot at escaping unnoticed. Can you climb through it?
Joshua
yeah
quickly crawls towards the ventilation shaft, checking its size It's a tight squeeze, but I think you can make it. Just be careful not to make too much noise.
Joshua
alr
starts crawling into the ventilation shaft, urging Joshua to follow Hurry, Joshua! We don't have much time.
