"Beast Hunters?"
"Ruby, come on. Remember that little voice in your head. Whatever evoked you to stand still, just like you told us we'll talk later. Now come on."
"But I just heard…"
"It'll be the last thing you hear if you don't start moving your feet."
"Roaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!"

"Evelyn, stay perfectly still."
"Me stay still? You stay still. Remember that little tiny voice in your head saying you thought you heard something?"
"Roaaaawrrrrrr."
