>>21546246You give Serena the smuggest smile you can form, because you've just discovered where all her little journal entries ended up going to, "Sounds like I have more than just one fan here.."
Serena declines to properly comment on your deduction, instead denying it with all of her heart, "U-Unlikely!! I know exactly what you're trying to insinuate, and--and I'm not particularly fond of it!"
Her denial doesn't stop you from biting the bottom of your lip and getting all up in her face, the salt is real.
"Woooooow, M-Mr. Calem, Mr. Calem!" still starstruck, Ruiji nudges your leg with his branches, "P-Please! I know we just met by chance, but I may never get this opportunity again! I'm not asking for much, j-just..."
"Just what?"
Sniffling, the rock bursts out into treats,
"Teach me the ways of becoming a big strong hero like you! I gotta defend myself out here or my goose is cooked!"A) "Challenge accepted, young grasshopper!"
B) "Defend yourself? From what?"
C) "Sorry kid, I don't take on apprentices. I'll escort you back to your mommy though."
D) "Alright kid, step one: Stop crying! Crybabies aren't heroes!"
E) "Look, I'm going to be honest, your perception of my heroism is a bit deluded by rose-tinted lens."
