[@Guess Who]
	
	Smirking, Charlotte was incredibly pleased with herself at having already sealed the deal with forming a party with the hero. Just when she thought all the legal tender was finished however, she would find herself face to face with yet another contract. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Eh? A harem? You really are getting ahead of yourself. I'd never fall for someone so...dull."[/b][/color] she would say, scribbling her name down before flinging the contract behind her. [color=9e0b0f][b]"But if it'll get you moving, I guess I have no-"[/b][/color] she would say, just as the Carbon Dragon's Fang impacted. Even if Tristan was nigh unkillable, the force of the blast would still send them both flying...mostly because Charlotte would hide behind him. She was a Princess, not an explosion test dummy!

Flung far into the air, the twosome would be in freefall for a moment before crashing into foliage and tree branches that broke their fall, leaving them both looking a mess. Clearly irate at this, Charlotte shook her fist at C-3. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Hey, we're supposed to FIND the hero, not KILL him!"[/b][/color] she cried out. Picking Tristan up off the ground, she dusted his armor off, and licked her index and middle finger before pinching a spike of his hair that had caught fire. [b]"There you go. Now, let's get into those woods and ruin some poor woodland creature's life!"[/b] she would proudly say, before charging off, dragging him by the wrist.

One prolonged explanation of how to hit something with a sword later, Charlotte would eagerly await Tristan bashing a poor little slime upside the head. They...looked kind of cute. They had big black shiny eyes, and green bodies that jiggled as they bounced around. They'd occasionally bump into one another and make a much larger slime, but they seemed relatively passive. Of course, after a few million times of being reincarnated, one could guess Tristan was out of sympathy. He'd also note that Charlotte was not even trying to fight them, just kind of pushing them towards him. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Go get 'em Hero!"[/b][/color]

	Meanwhile, back over at the cliffside, the Midboss would find herself suddenly within the shade of a person as they stood over her. [color=aba000][b]"Excuse me ma'am, are you quite alright? That looked like quite a fall."[/b][/color] a deep, smooth voice would ask, belonging to the...man? that loomed over her. [url=https://i.imgur.com/Jn8Y4BG.jpg]His grey fur gleamed in the sunlight, as bright as the armor and the lance that he carried upon his person.[/url] He was...certainly a thing that existed. Placing a hand over his chest, he offered her a hand. [color=aba000][b]"Allow me to help you up. Shall you need an escort to a healer?"[/b][/color] he asked, radiating charisma...despite being a cat. And being roughly two feet tall.

C-3 Would also notice the cat, namely due to all the shiny metal he was carrying. Perhaps he'd have something she would like to eat for breakfast. Or, maybe she just liked cats. Who knew?
