Yeah, that's fair-

Akira will probably quietly shoo everyone away then, lol

-

Hmmm

I mean, probably a slight pause in panic before they force themself to act calm and help out and all that, lmao

Otherwise, not really, they'll mostly just focus on masking their emotions and acting quietly and calmly

Haha, best move from Akira

Admittedly, Aki probably would've had to close the door too before Spyro even considered getting out from under the sink. Can't risk being seen by the not nice ones.

But, yeah, Spyro would hear someone else getting close through the door and hides. So. Akira shooing everyone away is pretty much a must.

-

Alright then-

What calming method is Akira most likely going to try and do first? I feel like they'd stumble a little at first. Definitely not how they expected to find Garvin and all haha

Oof, yeah, well, if it might help, Akira will try it, probably hesitantly at first though, they don't want spyro to feel trapped, which would be a worry, lmao

-

Oh, for sure

Hmm, probably the 5-4-3-2-1 method first, that's always a good first option in their eyes, lol

Haha, yeah, that's fair. Though, like, little kiddo hid under a sink. Hard to get more trapped than that lol

-

Ah, yes, the 5-4-3-2-1 method. The method where you identify things around you.

That method's great.

Spyro's way too busy watching Akira though. Way too certain that they're gonna grab them at any moment and drag them out.

Spyro legit staring at Akira when they open the cabinet, just- Terrified. No clue who that is, probably a friend of the man (Rudy) though and that means bad.

True, lmao

-

Aww, the sweet child, nooo :'(

If Spyro's unresponsive though, Akira will probably just start talking. About the most random shit. While also trying to censor their stories because, let's be real, they don't have ton of good ones unless they relate to the polycule, so-

But they'll probably just keep yapping and try to keep relaxed posture until they can see Spyro calming down a little and then maybe ask questions about surroundings and if they want the door closed or not, eventually asking if they wants to come out from under the sink, lmao

Definitely won't be moving without very clearly saying how, why, and where they're moving also, and probably will try not to move at all until Spyro's a little calmer, haha

Aw, fun, stories- Definitely not too many good ones unless they involve the polycule though haha

How quickly would Akira give up on the 5-4-3-2-1 method and switch to just talking?

Not even sure how much of this we'll see in my short story, since I don't want to get Akira wrong and all, but uh- Finding places to end short stories is hard so I'm just covering my bases lol

Uhh, they'd probably stop around 3? That seems about when they'd just realize Spyro wasn't gonna answer, lmao

Sounds good! And don't worry too much, I'm sure it'll be great! :D

Alright then-

I assume they stumble a little more as they switch to just talking instead? XD

Oh, absolutely, lmaooo

Great, great-

I'm at ~2340 words so far and I just got to Akira opening the cabinet door. With any luck, I could maybe finish the short story tonight still haha

Not a single clue where it'll end yet though, so who knows-
