[Braving leeches, lizards, and unknown horrors of the ~~deep~~ shallows, a Pavo is knee-deep in the river, salvaging what's left of their bridge. A yellow flower (that has definitely seen better days) is still tucked into the front pocket of her overalls.]

Ahh, it really is completely broken . . . can we even make rope like this?

	[Lets it go once they're above the water line, sitting down and looking at the fat, slimy passengers happily sucking at her legs.] This river has them too . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ squats down in front of her and. carefully starts prying one off by the suckers. ] It makes sense, they're probably all connected... the rivers, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Winces, drawing a quick breath . . . and pulls out a stone knife, using the dull edge as a lever to help pry off another one.] But wouldn't that mean . . . the water from the East Block would come here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ hesitates for a moment-- ...but carries on, using his fingernails for the job. and very quickly chucking the removed individuals back in the water once they're off. ] ...not they're joined further upstream, maybe. And there's still one block no one's been to... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Like all leech bites, they drip pretty steadily. Fortunately, she's still not quite out of the habit of carrying strips of bandage cloth.] That's . . . west, right? There's doors, but . . . do we even know if anything's there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-18 05:12 am UTC (link)
	[ bandage cloth: part of any good adventurer's basic inventory. ...winding a thin strip of his own around one of the punctures. ] Yeah. Well... we don't know there's nothing there either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-18 06:11 am UTC (link)
	That's true. It's just never been mentioned before. Did you come here to check up on us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-18 06:30 am UTC (link)
	One reason. Wanted to scout around outside, see if everyone was-- [ as he's tying that strip off behind her calf, glances lower-- ...r-reddens a little ] --was okay, you know? We heard something'd happened to destroy the bridge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-18 06:45 am UTC (link)
	[Bare legs, bare feet, and bared ink on the smooth skin of her ankle.] Do you think it's safe to be out? I haven't heard anything, but you're a lot farther from home . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Ichiru came over. [ fingers pausing, resting lightly on a shin. ] Didn't run into anything. Wouldn't do to let our guards down just yet, but... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-18 07:13 am UTC (link)
	I've been listening, too, even if that didn't give enough time before at all. If Ichiru went over again Link and Syaoran won't be happy at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-18 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	Syaoran wasn't, no. [ ...taking his hand away, eyes still lowered. ] I didn't hear about the last time he'd been over, so I had no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-19 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	Syaoran walked him all the way back, and told Link he'd told Ichiru he wasn't allowed in Cepheus again. Ichiruuu . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...He doesn't seem like the type to listen to that kind of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-19 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. And Link said he's been being mean to people just to be mean, even if he hasn't tried that more than a little with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-19 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	Probably-- [ --blinks, brow furrowing for a moment. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Claude? . . . did he say something to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-19 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ there's a flicker of suspicion... or maybe realization. doesn't seem to hear. ] ... Huh? Aah... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-19 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	What about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-19 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing. [ ...eases back on his heels, moving to stand up. ] Nothing important. It's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-19 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Trying to lie . . . doesn't really work with me. Or anyone on Ring road . . . like Rune-sempai said, it's your body that's honest, even when you don't want it to be. But I won't ask, if you don't want me to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-19 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	[ starts guiltily at that... looks down at her, hands loose at his sides. ] ... I don't know if it's the kind of thing you'd want to hear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Reaches up for his hand, tugging him back down.] Ichiru cares for Zero. But I think, being here . . . it's hard for him, too. So he's trying to be remembered the fastest way he can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2011-06-20 03:14 am UTC (link)
	[ ...kneels back on the ground. ] Do you think it's really him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-20 03:17 am UTC (link)
	[Passes her hold on his hand from one hand to the other, shifting a bit behind him and pulling him gently but firmly back against her.] I think Zero would think it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
