-Is that man bothering you, Elisa…?
-N-no! No! Everything is fine! We’re.. we’re just… flirting! Flirting, yes, that’s it! We’re flirting.
-Are you sure? He seems rather aggressive…
-W-w-what is going on!? By the Gods, please don’t hurt me!
-(Get up, you fool!)ย Everything’s fine, giant mountain monsters. He’s an old friend, and he was just leaving (Run! Run for your fucking life)!
…
-Then why is he running?
-He… er…. He’s…
-Well, he’s gone now. Never mind. Remember, whenever you need us…
-Thanks! Don’t worry, I’ll let you know (Phew! That was close!).
She walked home with her fruit basket safe and sound. For once, trouble was fixed without bloodshed.
