[ yeah they're not running so its

definitely powerwalking ]

You don't carry a weapon, do you?

[agleam]

Yeah, sure don't.

[alas, he is a noodle.]

[shaft]

Ever considered changing that?

[ rupert!! your self-defense! ]

[agleam]

I'll think about it.

[he probably will not]

Did we lose whatever it was...?

[no.]

[shaft]

Are you changing the to—

[ Huh, his vision goes weird for a second there. ]

... We better keep moving. Faster, maybe. But quietly.

[agleam]

[he nods, picking up the pace, though he looks concerned as he does. whispered:]

Are you okay?

[shaft]

... Yeah, vision got fuzzy for a second there.

Luckily you're pretty hard to miss.

[agleam]

[concerned!!]

—Okay, in that case, we should definitely move faster. Of course there couldn't be a conveniently placed horse like in that weird race...

[shaft]

I don't know that a horse would be very subtle... But I guess it might outpace whatever is out there.

[ He moves a little quicker, and the leaves crunch under his feet... :( ]

[agleam]

[as he hears something behind them:]

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

[shaft]

[ he sighs ]

Yeah, let's. Let's just book it.

[ his vision is a little fuzzy again, but he focuses on rupert's light, tapping his arm to tell him to run ahead. ]
