He rolled his eyes, wiping the water from his face and splashing some on her.

"You know, when you splash me it doesn't have to be from on you. We are literally swimming in water right now." I say, a little exasperatedly. Ugh. Guys these days. I then swim under again, to unbraid my hair. I quickly shake it out, getting another grime cloud out of my system. I swim back up, relishing the cool water. I haven't been able to swim like this in weeks. I reluctantly get out, and dig around in my pack until I find a dry towel. There is a very small clump of trees nearby, and I say,
"Don't follow me. I'm going to dry off and get changed."

He watched her quietly. Ugh. Girls and their hair... "Yeah I noticed the water. Anyway, what are we gonna do now? Going to that human town was a terrible idea..."

"Well, first I need to get changed. And dried off. Then we can go to my back up home, or wherever else you want to go." I say, grabbing a change of clothes and a towel from my pack.

I walk over to a little stand of trees, and quickly get dressed and dried off without incident. I rebraid my hair, and then walk back to Jackson.

Ah, hello Maya! Silk said, trying to sound inconspicuous

I look at Silk, immediately sensing something wrong. Casually, I say,
"What did you do? What's wrong?"

Nothing, just saying hello. Is that a sin now?

"Something's wrong. You aren't your cheery usual self, and you sound guilty. What is it?"

Yes, Id be cheery after a forest fire and a friend dying she said
