I'm so tired of haunted forests.
[he doesn't even know it's haunted yet, but it's the vibe.]
Huh? Oh, yeah, it's been a while, but I do. First I had to go there to break a curse, and then... Well, I guess the second time I was technically breaking a curse too, but it was, uh, really different each time.
[fantasy nonsense]
Luckily, that means I am pretty well versed in haunted forests, so just keep an eye out for any giant spider monsters or man eating plants.
Oh - really? That kind of surprises me! But I guess it's a good thing. Some of them can be kind of tough to deal with, after all. [...] Like, uh, demonic beasts. That doesn't sound good.

[ He takes a careful step forward, trying to peer through the trees. But it's hard to see with all the fog. ]
no subject
[he says that cheerfully, though?? anyways.]
How about you, have you ever been to a place like this?

Is it surprising?

How's she doing, by the... [hang on. pausing for a long moment, glancing around.] Uh... Claude, do you feel like maybe we're not alone?
no subject
he glances around them ]
... Yeah, something's there.
[ takes a step back ]
Maybe we should keep moving.

... We better keep moving. Faster, maybe. But quietly.
no subject
Are you okay?
no subject
Luckily you're pretty hard to miss.
no subject
—Okay, in that case, we should definitely move faster. Of course there couldn't be a conveniently placed horse like in that weird race...
no subject
[ He moves a little quicker, and the leaves crunch under his feet... :( ]

...Maybe we should rethink the whole not running thing from earlier? Like, right now?
