Was he worried about her? He called her a friend. Were they friends? If they weren't before, they were now; it was official. Maybe he'd want to go swimming with her? Girlish thoughts swam through her head as she divided her attention span further. Felix was taking up a lot of space, but Layne was right in front of her, and what was the nonsense about a snake? She gave a mental shrug - it certainly wouldn't be the oddest thing to happen at camp - and listened as Layne attempted to lie his way through the mysterious encounter. He was a terrible liar and Dani thought that was important information to store away for later amusement.<br/><br/>She wanted to argue that<em>all</em>her ideas were good ideas, but the woman - no, the snake - no, the... what? The reality of the moment seems to hit Dani as that cool and confident composure slips as she attempts to digest what she is seeing. The other-worldly creature is closing the space quickly, slithering towards the direction Dani pointed with a speed that is shocking. Still, as the creature moves past, the jock turns her full body to watch it go by. At the same time, she's reaching out for Layne and grabbing his wrist. For a moment, it's as if Dani is seeking comfort over the surprise of the situation, but she's just seeking an accomplice.<br/><br/><strong>"So... not a skunk,"</strong>she deadpanned as she pulled on Layne's wrist. There were no stunned silences or frozen-in-shock moments for this girl; she was already moving into action. She had never chased after a monster before.<strong>"Did she look naked to you?"</strong>she asked, perhaps hinting at her sudden interest in the creature that had engaged them. The thing had been after the woman. Why?<strong>"Gosh, do you think this is why we have powers!?"</strong>Her excitement was rising.<strong>"Are we like, heroes or something? Slaying monsters!?"</strong>The idea of murdering hordes of beasts didn't seem to phase her as she looked up at Layne, bright-eyed and grinning. It was a game to her, and she played to win. She pulled Layne along with her, running after the beast. Once she was certain he'd keep pace, she let go.<br/><br/><strong>"Snakes don't like mongeese? What else? Think we can sneak up and attack it?"</strong>Usually content to take lead, she was offering only the smallest break because Layne had seemed to have some sort of intel about snakes that she assumed was perfectly sound. She breathed heavily, ducking under branches and hopping over some debris, but the path cleared by the reptilian tail was pretty easy to maneuver.<strong>"<em>Oh my god</em>. I'm going to fireball it in the face!"</strong>There was a little too much glee in her voice. Fireball was a bit of an exaggeration, but it didn't matter. It'd still look cool as hell!<strong>"Or maybe I should light a stick on fire to use as a bat. Whaddya think?"</strong>She slowed down, giving the area a brief look. There was a nice stick attached to a big tree! She attempted to bend it over so the end would break; there was a lot of give before<em>snap!</em>the stick broke and one end was left jagged.<br/><br/><strong>"What if you throw it like a spear!? A spear on fire!"</strong>She was very keen on the fire idea and had seen Layne shoot a ball. He could definitely do this! Proud of her make-shift weaponry, she thrust one end into his hands and then requested he hold the stick still. With her hands cupped underneath the pointed end, several inches away from the tip, she conjured a small flame.<br/><br/><strong>"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon,"</strong>she chanted impatiently as the green wood started to smoulder, but her magic flame eventually took hold!<strong>"Yessssss!"</strong>she hissed, and it was hard to determine if she was making a joke considering the situation.<strong>"Wanna take point?"</strong>she asked. The puns were now rolling in. She had<del>practically</del>literally pushed Layne into her current course of action, but she wasn't going to<em>make</em>him do anything he didn't want to. She was perfectly fine grabbing the stick and running out to poke the snake herself, but--<br/><br/>In the not-so-distant clearing ahead, she hears the shouting and the flare gun go off.<br/><br/>It seemed to agitate Dani. She was missing out on something interesting, and she didn't like that. She was ready to barrel out into the great unknown and attack with a fireball fist to the gut! (Because she wasn't quite sure she could reach the face).<strong>"Yes? No? Go?"</strong>
