@skullauthority okay. well the first thing you need to do is find something else to wear immediately. and then you need to get somewhere warm and dry and drink something warm.
@skullauthority it means is the cold weather and the fact you're clearly wearing the same clothes you fell in the river in having a negative effect on your body
@YourToxicBestie [ Despite her height, she was a fast walker! She pulled Micha along, quickly abandoning the main path to pull him into an obscure, lightly-treaded footpath leading into the dense jungles of Akala Island. She navigated it like a pro! ]
watch your step... lots of roots.
@YourToxicBestie ... mm.
[ She nodded, shaking away the thought. He was holding her hand right now... ]
okay. well, let's pick up the pace. we wanna get there before it's too dark.
@YourToxicBestie [ Lana tenses up, like a Litten that's been caught doing something bad. ]
... sorry. i just don't want you to think that... i see you like that.
@YourToxicBestie wh... no...!
[ She frowned at that, shaking her head profusely. ]
don't talk about yourself like that. i'm just not ready to... have that conversation with my family. especially when, um... you know. we don't even know what this is.
@YourToxicBestie ...
[ She looks down to the ground, cheeks reddening as she takes his hand. ]
it's not too far from here. i like to be close in case my parents need something.
@YourToxicBestie okie-doke. i'll just be one sec.
[ She quickly retreats back into her home.
... And is back a mere thirty second later, fixing her hat that had been knocked astray in her rush. ]
'kay. gooooot it.
[ She holds it out. A simple black one-piece swimsuit. ]
@YourToxicBestie right. yeah. uh...
[ She glances back at the house, finally (reluctantly) wriggling out of his arms to face it. ]
... wait out here a sec. they're, um, home.
@YourToxicBestie sure i do. you went through a lot of trouble.
[ She let her arms get into a more comfortable position, but didn't try to squirm out of his arms. ]
... you're sure you're not sick, right?
@YourToxicBestie [ Lana double takes when she looks up from her phone. ]
... oh! a-loooo-la.
[ Pushing up from the rock she was lounging on, she pulls Micha into a tight hug, burying her face in his shoulder. ]
