Elaine's likely not going to poke hard during a bad situation, I think. I mean, the stairs at the apartment had been their first meeting EVER and Elaine was more emotional about it due to that. Likely she'll keep her replies cool and short. ...they should totally encounter a snake, btw. Or something awful dskfj /horrible for wanting them both to freak
dskfj I have never hiked but I wouldn't even go out when it's cloudy. :D; But that is good plan!
