With the woman apparently dropping dead, being beamed up to the mothership, or some other bizarre reason for no reply, Hillary would have no choice but to follow along with Timea. "Sorry I couldn't get the map Timea." Hillary apologized.
"Don't fret over it, it's no big issue", Timea said, bending through her knees slightly, and placing a hand on Hillary's right shoulder. After this, she rose back to her full height, turned around, and walked back to the city gates. "Now, let's go have another look at that cactus, before we set off, to see if we can use it to store water." As she explained, Timea left the city, and began walking towards where the cactus was.
Hillary looked relieved by the map not being as big of an issue as she'd initially thought it would be, and with a nod would give one last wave to the hopefully not dead lady.
"Cactuses can do that? But I thought you said you didn't know anything about it?" Hillary asked as she followed along with Timea, seeming to not have any trouble keeping up with Timea as her attention was focused on her.
"I don't. But, if it's anything like a tree, we could hollow it out, and use the cavity to store water in", Timea explained, glancing down to Hillary. "It looked a fair bit softer then a tree, however. So I'm not sure how well this will work."
Having been completely lost and forgotten about in the conversation, Cybil stood up and meandered off to go find something else to do.
[hr]
Sibylla had wandered off in Paladium to go find some unattended food to eat, rejoining Hillary and Timea when they were at the gates and following them out.
As they had gotten more and more into the desert, Hillary had started to slow down, her feet sinking quite a bit into the dunes making it quite a bit harder for her to follow as she once did. Timea also having this problem helped reduce the displacement between them, but right at the cactus Hillary stopped, almost looking like she was going to sneeze with her nose scrunched up. "Timea, I feel funny." She stated, holding her arms close to herself, and the brass tube right up to her chest.
Moments later, Hillary would revert back to her sand form, dipping in height a little as her legs pooled underneath her as sand. "Ah, that's better~" She stated sounding rather refreshed.
"So you wanna make like a bowl?" Hillary asked, not quite understanding how Timea wanted to do this.
[color=9f2089]"Well, it's a lot more advanced than this place, that's for sure."[/color] Cybil started. [color=9f2089]"Also a lot more peaceful. No wars going on and barely any crime."[/color]
[color=9f2089]"Well let's see, there's Andelica where we live... Uh... There's the place where Other Mom used to live... Um... I can't remember anything else. Geography was never my strong point."[/color] Cybil looked away and scratched her head in embarrassment.
[color=9f2089]"Yeah see this guy's got the right idea. It was pretty nice."[/color] She said, pointing at Homer.
"So you were adopted by two women living together, ya! Must be very interesting way too grow up!"
The Comet looked at the now sleeping Anik in his lap. "... My legs are starting to fall asleep." He said with no emotion in his voice while trying to lean back, and get comfortable without disturbing Anik.
