"Meat-shield, eh?[...]"

"Meat-shield, eh?" You smirk. "I was under the impression this was an escort mission to a destination, not to euphoria." Your grin widens when you see a hint of a blush blossom on his face. Xharlion huffs.

"This is an escort mission to a destination. You are to escort me to Da'Haliena Forest. From there, I will be alright on my own. Do we have a deal? Shall we shake on it?" He asks. He stands up and you follow his lead. He sticks his hand out and you take his hand, completely devouring the smaller in your larger paw, and shake it. You notice he barely comes up to your shoulder. He stares up at you with a fiery gaze, almost daring you to say or do something wrong. You nod in affirmation. "Good. We leave now."
