Snippet #2297754

Easily, he adjusted his collar and approached the pair on the beach. He was impressed, and glad that at least two of them got away. Grinning ear to ear, he gave a wave to Molly and Asher, crouching down where they sat. "Nice hiding place," he said with a wink. "If I may say so," he added, grinning to Asher.

He had watched the pair for the past few moments, noting the hint of friendship. He liked friendship. It smelled like berries.

"But, I am sad to report your comrades aren't in any shape that is good. Especially not a triangle. Those are my favorite," he added, leaning to Molly. "Anyway, we need to hurry off this beach. I'm sure they'll be scouring it any moment now. If we double back to the forest, we might be able to reach Bungi Benni in time before trouble actually starts. And as for Archie...Arnold...Germelda...well, he's already on his way there. A bit ahead of us."

Standing, he dusted the sand from his knees. "Come along then Molly Taylor." Holding out his hand to the redhead, he added to Asher, "You too, c'mon."
