Selene: *smiles shyly* "Uh, hello?"

Selene: *feels less nervous and hold out her hand* "I'm Selene-"

*holds

Selene: *smiles warmly at him* "You seem nice. So, whatcha doing here in the forest?"

Selene: *looks excited* "Oh me too! I like hiking, swimming, running, and climbing. My family makes me run 10 laps around the forest ever day..."

Selene: *shrugs and leans on a tree* "I guess so. My siblings still think I'm a weakling. How bout you? What do you like doing?"

Selene: *nods understandingly* "Yeah I get it. Older siblings are so annoying." (lol i dont have any older siblings irl)

Selene: *closes her eyes thoughtfully* "Well, maybe I might meet your brothers one day. I'll see if they're as annoying as my siblings." (I am the oldest of four tho >.<)

Selene: *opens her eyes* "So, you wanna do something? Maybe hike to the waterfall near here?"

Selene: *smiles and waves him over* "Follow me." *disappears into the trees*

Selene: *notices his twitching without looking back* "You nervous or something?"

Selene: *smiles* "You'll be fine. I've been to every part of the forest. The woodland creatures are all scared of my family." *suddenly, a deer pops out of no where and Selene screams*

Selene: *grumbles and mutters* "Stupid deer-"

Selene: *crosses her arms impatiently* "Ok ok! Stop petting the deer. Let's just get going..."

Selene: *starts walking again* "So, what's your biggest secret?"

Selene: *rolls her eyes* "You obviously do. There's no point in lying to me. When you have eight siblings, you basically become a lie detector. So, what's your secret?"

Selene: *tugs on his sleeve a bit* "Cmon just tell me. Just before we get to the waterfall. I'll tell you my secret if you tell me yours."

Selene: *frowns* "Why are you so shy? Cmon you can trust me!"

Selene: *rolls her eyes again* "Yeah but a secret is worth telling a friend. I won't tell anyone. I promise."

Selene: *blinks* "Well, mine could be more embarrassing. You'll never know until you tell me. Cmon, we're almost at the waterfall."

Selene: "Would you trust me more if I told you my secret first?"

Selene: *ears twitched* "Fine, but only because it's not gonna matter now. Many years ago, when I was just a pup, I was first learning how to swim. My two oldest siblings, twins Felix and Ava, took me to a public pool where they told me to just jump in and learn how to paddle around. Of course, they weren't being responsible and I ended up drowning. The lifeguard had to come save me and my family was kicked out of the public pool forever. My parents blamed it all on me for not learning how to swim right away like my older siblings..."

Selene: *her ears twitch a bit* "Yeah, well that's my secret. It's really dumb... So, what's yours?"

Selene: *giggles a bit* "Ha! That's pretty funny. Not that embarrassing though..."

Selene: *sighs* "If you really say so." *pulls King into a clearing with a waterfall* "Here we are."

Selene: *walks to the end of the pond* "Yeah, it's pretty big. I usually just come here to do some private swimming. You know, just to prove to my parents that I can swim. I don't think the rest of my family know about it yet..."

Selene: *jumps in* "It feels nice too. Cmon in."
