Brandon 3 walked cautiously towards the brush, ready for action but growing increasingly anxious. His attention was drawn by a brushing sound behind him, but after turning towards it he realized that it was just his dreadlocks trailing against the forest floor.
He briefly breathed a sigh of relief, before turning back to the whatever it was that waited in the pushes. He stopped for a moment, considering his options.

Brandon paused to wipe his forehead still uncertain what to do.
Brandon 4 and the shopkeeper were running again, neither noticing that their gaits were shifting as they developed feminine hips on their cartoonish frames.

The shopkeeper sighed, finding Brandon's cavalier attitude becoming increasingly irritating.

It was on the tip of his tongue, but he had difficulty getting the word out. "Why of course I'm..."
