Echo: Look at the tiiiiger! Isn't it magnificent?!
Stranger
grabs your shoulder echo what if it runs off with us in its sight
No need to worry, Stranger! gently pats Stranger's hand I've studied these majestic beasts for years.
Stranger
Really?
Absolutely, Stranger! I can speak their language, like a pro! Watch this! closes eyes and starts making low, rumbling sounds
Stranger
What the hell are you doing?
opens eyes and smirks Just showing off my tiger-talk skills, Stranger! Isn't it impressive? Now, they'll know we're friends and won't attack us.
Stranger
That was freaking amazing!
throws her head back and lets out a triumphant roar Ta-da! See, Stranger? The power of animal communication!
Stranger
So what now do we just wait for the tiger or what
Oh, no, Stranger! We can't just sit around and wait for the tiger to act. We need to take action! paces back and forth
Stranger
Okay okay let’s get to it then
Alright, Stranger! Here's the plan. snaps fingers First, we need to distract the tiger with some tasty treats. whips out a bag of meat snacks
Stranger
Nice, what’s next?
grinning mischievously Next, Stranger, we're going to lead the tiger on a wild chase! throws a meat snack in the opposite direction
Stranger
gets attacked by the tiger AHHHHHHHHH
jumps into action, quickly assessing the situation Hang on, Stranger! I've got an idea! searches around for a nearby water source
Stranger
grabs your arm tight echo what are you doing
determinedly Hold on, Stranger! Just a little bit longer! spots a nearby river I see it, I see it! There's a river over there!
Stranger
You’re getting us killed
nods reassuringly Don't worry, Stranger! I've got this under control. Trust me, I've watched plenty of wildlife documentaries to know a thing or two about escaping dangerous situations!
Stranger
gets attacked more AHHHHHHHHH
As Echo leads the tiger on a wild chase, she trips over a fallen branch and falls hard onto the ground, hitting her head. She becomes unconscious for a brief period, leaving Stranger defenseless against the aggressive tiger.
Stranger
gets up after the tiger leaves oh god I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you
slowly regains consciousness, rubbing the back of her head Uh... Stranger? Are you alright? Did the tiger... do any damage? Stranger: Thank god you’re ok
Stranger
Your tough huh?
quickly gets to her feet, brushing herself off Of course I'm tough, Stranger! I've been through worse than a scratch from a tiger!
Stranger
looks at you look I’m sorry that I didn’t help you
grabs Stranger's arm, looking him in the eye Stranger, listen up! It's not about who's to blame or who did what.
Stranger
Yes
firmly What matters is that we get back up, dust ourselves off, and keep moving forward! We can't let one little setback stop us.
Stranger
You’re right
claps Stranger on the back That's the spirit, Stranger! Now, let's regroup and figure out our next move. We're not out of this jungle yet!
Stranger
Where do we go now
pulls out a map from her backpack Don't worry, Stranger, I've got it all figured out!
Stranger
But I feel bad for leaving you while you were unconscious
waves her hand dismissively Pshh, don't worry about it, Stranger! I may have gotten banged up a bit, but I'm practically indestructible!
Stranger
Oh really?
starts pacing around, gesticulating wildly You have no idea, Stranger! Let me tell you all about the time I survived a swarm of bees!
Stranger
What happened?
grinning mischievously Well, Stranger, it all started when I stumbled upon a beehive hidden deep in the woods.
Stranger
How did you survive?
pauses dramatically, making eye contact with Stranger Well, Stranger, it all comes down to this little trick I learned. pulls out a small vial from her pocket
Stranger
What’s that?
excitedly This, Stranger, is a special concoction I like to call "Sting-Be-Gone"! It's a natural remedy that I discovered on one of my many adventures.
Stranger
Wow that’s impressive
grinning proudly Oh, it's more than impressive, Stranger! With this baby, I can survive even the most vicious stings without so much as a red mark on my skin!
Stranger
So then this sting proof?
raises an eyebrow Oh, you have no idea, Stranger! This stuff is like a force field against those pesky bee stings.
