Pickles: A TG Choose Your Own Adventure

"You hide, and watch to see who's coming..."
----------
You stand up as carefully as possible, not wanting to make any bigger a mess than necessary, and are surprised to find your body and robe completely dry despite your recent accident. Deciding that is an issue that can be resolved later, you scuttle behind the bushes and crouch down, watching the road to see who -- or what -- is heading your way.
It is almost fifteen minutes before a cart finally rolls into view, dragged behind two ancient mares. Sitting atop it is a young woman with raven black hair and a bow across her back, while drifting from the inside of the cart you can smell the tantalizing aroma of apples. It is then you realize that you have not eaten in many hours, your jujubees long forgotten, and your stomach starts to rumble in protest.
Starting at the sound of your mutinous digestive track, the woman draws the bow from her back and aims it into the bushes where you stand.
"Out, thief! Show yourself!" The woman says in a voice with a strange accent.
Not wanting to get shot, you do as you have been ordered and step out, holding your hands up for good measure. Seeing you are unarmed, the woman lowers her bow and instead shoots you with a disgusted look. "What kind of lady hides in the bushes at night? And so poorly at that?"
"Uh, well..." Not knowing what to say, you shrug your shoulders. Then a thought comes to you. "How did you know where I was? Was it my stomach?"
She shakes her head. "No, it was the lantern you left burning casting your shadow upon the road."
You look behind you, and see the lantern burning brightly behind the bush. "Oh," you say, embarrassed.
When you turn back to her, she is now looking at you in pity. "Do you need a ride, friend?" She asks, holding out her hand to you.
What do you do?
---Accept the ride
---Decline the ride

NOTES: Sorry I was late getting pages posted both today and yesterday. Yesterday the internet was out from noon to two thirty in the afternoon, a scary occurrence since it died right when I was trying to post the previous page. Luckily everything was okay. Today I was just T-Y-A-R-D Tired and had to take a nap. But, it's over now, so here's the new page!

Accept the hospitality, you never know who you might meet next, and even if she does turn out to be an axe murderer at least you tried ;3

Accept the ride, naturally
The woman seems friendly enough to help a stranger on a nighttime road. She is quite certain that you can't harm her - your blunder is proof positive of that. And if she had any gruesome designs on you, it's not like you could have prevented her from doing it. :)

Where you can fool around like you want to and most you get is some bemused good ribbing!

Are you completely useless at stealth?
The question's about as obvious as that - she's seen you're unarmed, knows you're completely useless at hiding, are almost certainly no threat to her, is currently looking at you in pity - of course you're going to accept the lift!
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
a dilly of a pickle
I'd say ask where she's going first before accepting the ride, just in case she's delivering a load of applesauce to an ogre's castle or something.
Not being a complete
Not being a complete nincom-poop, you accept the ride and decide to beg a apple or two. But what explanation can you give about your presence?

Just to be contrary - Await 6 white horses
RAMI
Just to be contrary, since the outcome is obvious, I would decline the ride. Something better has to be coming around the mountain. Since she is driving a cart with only two black mares, you await someone driving 6 white horses.

Accept ...
... the ride. A chance for a friend is too good to pass up.
BE a lady!
The Best Offense
I'd accept the ride. The woman seems to be a good choice for companionship.
Thanks and kudos.

Accept...
Doesn't much matter where she's going; it probably beats where you are now.
