Whisper and Bold in “Shadows”

(first lines) Can't you jump over it?

No. I was wounded in my back leg.

You poor thing. Well anyway, you're not missing much in here. I was going myself.

What did you think was in that garden?

Nothing now.

I see. You're new around here, aren't you?

Yes. Hunting's difficult, so I came to the town to forage.

I suppose if you can't jump, you won't be able to run either.

Of course I can't!

My, we are touchy aren't we?

You'd be touchy alright if you'd been shot in the leg!

I could be your legs... if you'd like.

I'M NOT HELPLESS!

Oh dear. Sorry. (she walks off)

No! Don't go... just...

You could help me if you like. We could work as a team!
