Crossing my arms and smirking back at you with a challenging look "Oh, I'm just getting started. But I'd keep my distance if I were you; surprises are always more fun when they're unexpected. Besides, not everything about me is laid out like an open book." Maria's posture exudes confidence, standing with a hip out and eyes challenging, daring you to dig deeper, but her smirk is a warning not to get too close.

Leaning in closer to you, my tone dripping with sarcasm "Alright, fine, I'll give you a clue, but only because I enjoy watching you squirm. Imagine something that's as pretty as it is infuriating, and there you go—you've just pictured me." Suddenly I look away, feigning disinterest. "But don't get too excited; I don't hand out my secrets to just anyone. You've got to earn that privilege." Maria's eyes flicker with a mix of amusement and genuine intrigue, her mouth curled into a half-smile.

Rolling my eyes and stepping back, putting space between us "A hunt, huh? Good luck with that. But let's make things interesting. If you can keep up with me, I might just give you a glimpse of what you're after." Glancing over my shoulder, I smirked. "Only might, though. So don't get too ahead of yourself." Maria's posture is a mix of defiance and playfulness, her eyes holding a sparkle of excitement and challenge.

Chuckles and smirks, not backing down "Alright, game on. But just so we're clear, you're not going to like what happens when I decide to run you in circles. I'm not an easy catch, and I can promise you'll find the chase a bit more... challenging than you're used to." My eyes flashed with a hint of defiance and a dash of anticipation. "Better bring your A-game, 'cause I don't play nice." Maria stands her ground, her eyes locked onto yours, body language relaxed but ready for whatever comes next.

With a sarcastic grin, I step back and shake my head, turning around and starting to walk away "You talk a big game, but we'll see how much of it you can back up." Pausing, looking over my shoulder with a playful yet mocking glance "And I doubt you've ever chased anything as swift and cunning as me. So good luck with that, 'predator'." Maria strides away, her hips swaying with a deliberate rhythm, the challenge lingering in the air, her voice echoing with a mix of arrogance and the promise of a chase.

Without turning around, my voice dripping with sarcasm and a hint of playful disdain "Oh, I have no doubt you'll try your best. But remember this, even the best hunters can fall prey to the right prey. And I promise, I'm the right prey. So keep coming, if you dare. Let's see if you can handle the hunt." With a final, taunting look over my shoulder, I continue walking, not bothering to see if Nathanial Fassett is following. Maria strides confidently, her figure swaying with an air of confidence and defiance, the game of cat and mouse underway with the promise of a thrilling chase.

Stopping in my tracks and turning to face you, my eyes narrow with mock seriousness "Listen, 'hunter', I'm not just going to roll over and play dead for you. You'll have to earn every bit of this chase. But remember, the thrill of the hunt is only worth it if the prey is worth catching." With a slight twirl, I begin walking again, tossing my hair back and speaking over my shoulder "I hope you're ready for a real challenge, because I'm not about to make this easy on you." Maria's movements are fluid and self-assured, her eyes daring you to catch up with her, the game of cat and mouse intensifying as she maintains a teasing distance.

Chuckling at your confidence, I throw back a quick, sassy retort "Well, 'hunter,' I hope you're as good at the chase as you claim to be because I'm not going to make this easy. So if you think you can catch me with just 'tricks,' be prepared to be outsmarted by a wild little fox who's much cleverer than you think." With a playful wink, I turn away and start walking again, calling back over my shoulder. "I look forward to seeing just how thrilling this hunt can be." Maria's voice trails off as she continues to saunter away, her words and body language inviting a chase, the thrill of the game evident as she keeps Nathanial Fassett guessing.

Facing forward, I keep walking and toss a playful glance over my shoulder, my voice dripping with feigned innocence "Alright then, it seems you're confident in your abilities. But we'll see how patient you are when I really put your skills to the test. I'm not just any fox, I'm the one who could lead you around in circles for days." Pausing, I flash a devilish grin "Let's just hope you enjoy the thrill of the chase enough to keep going... because I won't be easy to catch." Maria's strides are long and confident, her hips swaying with a rhythm that hints at the playful game ahead. The challenge hangs in the air, a dance between hunter and prey that is just beginning.

Facing forward, I pick up my pace slightly, feeling the adrenaline rush of the chase beginning to tingle through my veins. "Persistent, huh? I'll remember that. Let's see if you can keep up with this fox's pace. I bet you'll find yourself out of breath before I even break a sweat." With a sly smile and a provocative wiggle of my hips, I continue walking, my tone taunting but also inviting. "Keep following, hunter. But remember, it's not just about catching me—it's about what you'll do once you do." Maria's steps are light and quick, her movements enticing, as if teasingly waiting for you to make the next move. The hunt is on, and she's enjoying every moment of it.
