“Sav, slow down! You don’t have to run!” Shimmer said ow picking up a bit more speed. “Joe will still be there when we get there, I promise!”
“I gotta– gotta start training him with this as soon as possible! G-Gotta get him used to it! The more used to it he is, th-the more he can– HAAAH– protect me!!”
Savanna picked up her speed, only to lose her footing inevitably and fall on her face.
“… O-Ow.”
Shimmer grimaced and quickly ran over to the fallen Savannah, gently helping her up. “See? I told ya, squirt. Just take it slooooow, ok? Are you alright?”
