CAVERN.
[Another encounter with the Shimmer, another round of confusion, frustration and exhaustion. It's probably going to be a fairly unanimous opinion, but Page much preferred the circle of peaceful corpses over the tree of suffering.
She emerged from the river just in time to hear what the Shimmer had to say, and it leaves a bad taste in her mouth. But regardless of feelings, it's probably wise that they don't move away from this cavern for the time being; the fire, remnants of that horrible tree, is providing light and warmth. They couldn't really ask for much more, especially after spending the past week in darkness.
So Page will swim back to the fire, placing herself in front of it and unwinding her headpiece, letting her locs fall free around her face. She's soaked, miserable and cold. As awful as the source of the heat is, she needs to dry off. The last thing she wants is to fall ill.
Not that it would mean much - sounds like a problem for her body. Wherever that is.
You're free to join her, or do what you will; time to rest, before the new week begins.]

This is... definitely the strangest way I have ever killed somebody. And meeting the Shimmer is just never pleasant.

[There's no humour in her voice, as much as she was attempting to make a joke. Just...exhaustion. That really was hellish.]
Thank you for your [-she almost says 'help', but this was a team effort, wasn't it?-] hard work, by the way. That would have been a miserable thing to have to do alone.

[ It hurts a little to make that admission, but after all they've been through together it's become easier to just be honest. ]
I've certainly done mop-up operations before and in this case they were even asking for it, but... It's just gruesome, you know? I'll be seeing it in my dreams for a long time.
