Normally, I would say that we should try to talk things out, but in this case ...

[ ... He just tries to book it in the other direction, grabbing Beverly as an indication for her to follow ]

I think it would be best if we run!

[dancingmd]

[He doesn't have to tell Beverly twice. She takes off at a sprint, back towards her shuttle. The trees sprout roots and reach out their branches in an attempt to trip her up, but she expertly dodges and leaps over all obstacles. It's only when she reaches the edge of the mesa that she realizes Iroh isn't behind her.]

Damn!

[Without another thought she charges back into the forest.]

Iroh! IROH! Where are you?

[Is it just her, or has the foliage gotten thicker?]

[delicioustea]

[ He's a little ways back, bent over with his hands on his knees, panting ]

I really need to work out more.

[ ... There is definitely a tree branch reaching down to grab him ]

[dancingmd]

[Beverly tries to shoot the tree branch but her pistol jams and starts to overload. Cursing, she chucks the entire gun at the offending plant then flings herself on top of Iroh while shouting:]

DUCK!

[Because yeah, that pistol is going to explode overhead. Action Bev to the rescue!]

[delicioustea]

[ He does as she says and kinda rolls to the ground under her as the pistol goes off.

... He might have also wrapped his arms around her waist and squeezed his eyes shut. And is not moving now, even though the explosion is over and they should probably get out of there ... ]

[dancingmd]

[Beverly remains lying flat on top of him for a moment, but as soon as she ascertains that it's safe to move, she pushes herself up on her elbows, finding she can't go any further because of his arms locked around her. Well, this is awkward.]

Iroh!

[Their faces are so close that her breath moves his beard.]

We need to go!

[delicioustea]

[ ... Peeks ... one eyes open, not letting go yet ]

Are you sure?

[ Shut up and listen to the lady who knows what she's doing instead of being a gross old man, Iroh ]

[dancingmd]

[In an annoyed whisper.]

Considering that there are currently no less than half a dozen vines moving in our direction, I'm going to say yes.

[And now her Starfleet Commander side is coming out loud and clear, brooking no argument.]

Now let go.
