Involves some leveling.

You're having a hard time figuring out where you stand with this girl: first she's yelling at you, then she's dreamily eying up your tentacles, then she's sniffling about her lost abilities...Now you understand why the male heroes are always complaining about women being difficult to figure out. Dana, I'm telling you that reinforcing the thicket around the Lair won't do any good, not agains- "Well it's better than nothing! And why are you calling it a Lair? Just say 'Camp'." Because I'm a monster and we live in Lair's. It also sounds better.

She opens her mouth to protest and you gently but firmly lift her to your eye-level. Dana! We are not arguing right now about whether to use "Camp" or "Lair" to describe the Lair! We are coming up with a plan to keep the spiders out! If I can't keep you safe and you can't reliably heal me then we're as good as... You peter off as her lip quivers and the tears return to her eyes, "You do care..." Oh for the love of-Dana...this is soooo not the time to have this discussion.....You know what, you go back to braiding leaves. I'LL come up with a plan. And that signals her to start yelling at you again. "If you're so big and smart why'd you let us get surrounded by-" You tune out the rest of what she says. Big. You smack your face with a vine. How could you have forgotten something so basic?

The spiders were a serious threat and you'd barely been able to keep them at bay with your current strength. But you'd gotten as strong as you were in the last 24 hours. They'd be the same level tomorrow as they were today. So all you had to do was get stronger. Now that you paid attention you could even feel the XP pulsing inside you, so close to Leveling up yet still so far... You pull the wrathful girl close and silence her with a kiss. She blinks and then melts into the kiss, readily sucking your tongue into her mouth...good god...but now wasn't the time for that. Pulling back, you smile at the dazed look on the beautiful girls face, Dana. You're a genius.

Hefting the perplexed girl over your shoulder, you set out to find some XP.
