Chris walked down the sidewalk to Aurora's house, his feet padding against the concrete. As he got closer to her door he got even more nervous, heart beating like the stomps of a marching army; hands shaking from anxiety

"And... you're not ready." He simply states, confusion evident in his voice.

"Yeah... but come meet Swiper!"
