Surprisingly enough, Lutz didn't immediately wrench his arm from out of Alette's grasp. That being said, he didn't look very happy as he grudgingly let himself get dragged along by the girl. Slouching, he deliberately took slow steps so as to lag as far back as he possibly could with her pulling him.
"One, what things do you mean, and two...do you actually know your way around these woods? Before, you know, we delve in and become impossibly lost?"
He was going to guess no, but for all knew, maybe she was familiar with this place. He could be hopeful! ...He had no choice but to be hopeful!

Alette stopped abruptly, turned around, and gave Lutz a very serious look. She stepped closer, lowered her voice, and took a small breath.
"Did you know," said Alette quietly, glancing around at their surroundings, as though fearful someone was watching them. She turned her face to the boil, expression surprisingly calm. "Did you know that, if you put Lutz and peanut together, you get Plutz?"
She gave a sage nod, turned, and then bounded down a path, half dragging him with her.
"This way, this way, I think she went this way!"

What. "Uh, yes, very good. That being said, don't call me Plutz," he responded automatically, face scrunching up in distaste, "Otherwise I'm going to smash up...cashew and Alette and call you...Cashette."
The name was ridiculous enough that immediately after he said it, Lutz snickered. Ahh, Cashette. Terrible, truly terrible.
Letting his head loll back as he obediently trotted along, the boil let out a long-suffering sigh. "Oh really. And makes you think that she went this way?"

"Why not?" Alette asked plaintively, twisting her head around to look at him, eyes wide. "Plutz sounds like a really good name, and oh my Jack - "
She cut off abruptly, turning and staring at Lutz with a sparkling gaze.
"You gave me a nickname." She positively beamed at him, hands clasped together. "Does that mean, we're like, the bestest friends ever?"
Alette did not, of course, wait for an answer, and instead just continued dragging the poor boil along with her.
"I think she went this way!"
