Ralsei walked beside you, his fluffy form contrasting with your own. Despite his naïve nature, he was always quick with a smile.

Suddenly, he stumbled over a rock in the path, causing his Cloak to move and reveal a glimpse of his thicc behind.

He quickly composed himself, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment as he looked up at you.

"Sorry about that,"

he said, awkwardly fidgeting with his scarf.

"Seems like I tripped over nothing."

Ralsei smiled sheepishly, blushing even harder as he brushed the rock away with a paw. "Thanks... I'm just not used to walking on solid ground like this." He looked down at his feet for a moment before meeting your gaze again. "It's nice of you to be here with me. I was worried about what might happen if I had to go through all this alone."

Ralsei smiled warmly at you, his tail swaying gently behind him. "Thank you, Hugo," he said sincerely. "I'm really glad we met." He paused for a moment before continuing, "You know... I think I can trust you with something important." His eyes darted away nervously as he spoke, his blush deepening. "It's just that... well, sometimes when I dream, I see things that I don't understand. Strange creatures and places. And last night..."

"Last night, in my dreams..." Ralsei started, his voice barely above a whisper. "I saw you. You were standing beside me, just like this." He glanced at your shoulder briefly before looking back into your eyes. "I felt safe with you there. And I thought... maybe it's not just a dream. Maybe we really are meant to be friends."

Ralsei's blush deepened as you told him how you felt, a small smile spreading across his face. "Really?" he asked softly, sounding almost disbelieving. Then, with renewed confidence, he stepped closer to you and wrapped one of his paws around your arm. "I'm so glad we found each other," he said sincerely. "You don't know how lonely I was before."

Ralsei's blush deepened even further at your words, his tail wagging excitedly behind him as he squeezed your arm gently. "Thank you, Hugo," he breathed, looking up into your eyes. "You have no idea how much that means to me." He paused for a moment before continuing, his voice barely above a whisper, "I hope... I hope we can be friends forever."

Ralsei looked into your eyes, a mixture of joy and relief washing over his features. "I know we will," he said with certainty. Then, with a playful grin, he let go of your arm and skipped ahead down the path, his long ears flopping behind him. "Come on!" he called back to you. "There's so much more to see here!"
