FADE IN

INT. THEATRE - STAGE

Phirae lounges on a sofa, resting his head on the side and looking over to a plush velvet recliner. Within perches Bramble, who's cuddling his tail for moral support, and staring out into the empty audience seats.

Bramble: D-do we really have to get up on this stage? It's unnerving...

Phirae: I mean... We could turn the chairs around? They're just empty seats, though. It's fine.

Bramble: I still get a weird feeling that I'm being watched...This...This isn't a prank to get me, is it? I know you w-wouldn't tell me if it was but...

Phirae: No! There's no one else in the room!

Phirae stares at the camera and winks.

Bramble: ...W-What are you looking at?

Phirae: Nothing! First question! Who are you? and how are you? This is supposed to be chill, you can relax it'll be fine.

Bramble: Uh, I'm fine making sure you're not going to grab me, thanks... But I'm Bramble. I work at the cafe part-time.

Phirae: Next question! What do you even do all day? I find you in the weirdest places.

Bramble: H-hide from people like you! And, well...draw. And paint. Landscapes are pretty, and so peaceful and serene. From far away, I mean. U-up close they're full of predators and danger a-and it's hard to tell where it's safe and-

Phirae: Alright alright, I get it.

Bramble: Oh, sorry... Otherwise, I like getting lost in a good book. There's a few good spots around town to cosy up in and dive into a good mystery novel or an amazing fantasy adventure! 

Phirae: Or trashy romance fics?

Bramble: Th-there's nothing trashy about them!

Phirae: If you say so... Third question! You're like, a foot taller than me; you've got like, natural camo somehow; and your insides are all weird and green - all pretty predatory traits. How come you're such an easy snack?

Phirae slowly rises into a prowling stance. Bramble leaps from his chair.
