Jason looked at one of his hands and nodded slowly. "Yeah...I think so.I mean,I didn't die when I shifted so there's that.So most likely,unless I'm internally bleeding."

"Don't say that."

Jason shrugged. "It's actually true,spikes could have broken off of my spine and stabbed my organs,and thing is it could have done it and my body makes it's self numb sometimes for the shifts so I could be bleeding and not even know it's inside of me." He said,as if it was totally normal.

"I don't care, I don't want you to talk like that."

Jason sighed. "Fine.I'll try not to speak of what could possibly be my impending doom of my own body."

"Thank you. You'll be fine."

He shrugged. "We'll see,that's if-nope.Aint ganna say it." He changed his mind and stopped himself from saying 'that's if I die within 24 hours'.

"Thank you," he said again. "I take back my comment about you bro mg able to think positively."

"Aw~,thanks buddy~!" He said,smiling and winking. Crysta led them through a few tunnels and seeming deeper and higher into the mountain until they hit a training cavern with Avalenche,Toxin,Snowball and a DeepDiver called Kelp.

(Oof. I meant being.)

Ash winced as Jason called him 'buddy'. He didn't comment, however
