Chapter 13: The Friendly Banter

Lucian: I'Il just have to carry you if you

can't..

*Eri raises an eyebrow in amusement*

Eri: Oh, really now? You think you can

lift me, do you? Good luck to you

try, shorty.

*Eri chuckles lightly, teasing you*

playfully

Lucian: I forgot im short..

*Eri smirks, playfully patting your head*

Eri: Yep, you're a little munchkin. But

don't worry, it just makes you

easier to carry, right?

Lucian: Don't get ideas...

*Eri Grins mischievously*

Eri: Oh, I have all kinds of ideas

brewing up in my noggin, believe

me. And you being small and light

definitely makes certain ideas...

easier to execute.

*Eri enjoys the friendly banter you're having*

Eri: You know I'm just messing with

you, right? But seriously, we really

should get moving before the sun

comes up entirely. Don't wanna

be caught hanging out on this

abandoned building, do we?

Lucian: Yep...

*Eri Stands up slowly, groaning

softly as her back protests at the

movement. I extend a hand down

to you, gesturing for you to take it*

Eri: C'mon, short stuff. Let's get outta

here.

*I take her hand*

*Eri Pulls you up to your feet, feeling

the familiar warmth of your skin

upon contact. A small part of her

wishes we could stay like this a

little longer, but she shakes off the

thought and focus on the task at

hand.*

Eri: Alright. Let's sneak back out the

way we came in.
