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.]

You're right, it doesn't. It never has, and it never will...Ash.
[If that's who he chooses to be at the end of all of this...well, Felicia supports him entirely.]
...I'm happy for you, you know.
no subject
[ He curls his fingers against hers, in a playful gesture. ]
...and I like the sound of that too. But why are you happy for me?
no subject
...I'm not sure if this was even something you were looking for an answer to, or...if I did anything to help...but you seem almost...
Happy, I suppose. And why wouldn't I be happy that you're happy?
[...Ah--]
U-Unless I have the wrong impression! Which, um. I'm very sorry if so!
[Ah, there's the awkwardness back in tow, and she promptly looks away with a bit of flush on her face.]
no subject
I've never been happy before. I don't usually feel emotions, actually. So it's a bit strange to have someone feel them for me, too. [ He tugs on her hand gently, he doesn't want her to hide her face. ]
no subject
I-I suppose it is a bit silly, then. I'm sorry for being so strange!
[...]
But...do you feel anything right now, Ash?
no subject
Smitten.
