As Ghost spoke, alarms were going off in Plum's head as he went. The language wasn't any different than usual, however...the tone was unusual. Something was so terribly off and even though Ghost said he was always keeping secrets, she had a feeling that he was hiding something specifically from her. He turned to look at her and she noticed resignation in his eyes, as if he had to do something. "Look, Plum--" the moment he began to speak, the escort team emerged from the foliage.<br/><br/>"Where's the Hunt Team?" Ghost gave a sigh, almost like he regretted killing them. "They didn't make it. The Wolf got them," he finally replied. The member who asked nodded, staying silent on the matter. Another member came up to her to offer a hand and she took it. The rest of the team attended Ghost and soon enough they were headed back towards PM.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>"It seems it means something to you, Cherry. I don't know why that bothers you," Mallow said as he lifted her chin some, leaning in and giving her a kiss before she could even say anything. Mallow was quickly back in the water and telling her where the shampoo and his loofah were. She made her way over to the items and grabbed them, thrusting them into Mallows hands.<br/><br/>"I'm sayin' you shouldn't throw words around like that with flings, is all," Cherry finally said. She was scrambling to save her pride. "Like I told you last night. You're blind."<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Mirabell stared at Kai's outstretched hand for a solid minute before she finally gave her own shaky reach. He pulled her up easily and she shuffled to the table as directed by Kai. She wasn't hungry and the sight of the pancakes made her feel a little sick. Her eyes glanced up at Kai, then back down to her plate. She wasn't sure what happened between coming out of the bathroom and straddling Kai. He didn't seemed worried about it in any way.<br/><br/>As she looked at him, she was acutely aware of his heart beat and wondered if it had always been that loud or if she only thought she was hearing his heart beat. "I'm really thirsty..." she muttered as she stood to get some water. She grabbed a glass from a cabinet above the sink and quickly filled it with water, downing it in one go. When she was done, she found no relief in her thirst and filled the glass once more. She did this three more times with Kai staring at her before she turned to him, "What? Do you not hydrate yourself or something? Jesus."<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Brie had barely awoken completely before she was aware of just how awful she felt. She had hoped a good night's rest would help her exhaustion, but it seemed to have done the exact opposite. She didn't even want to open her eyes. Her skin felt like fire but Brie felt as if she had been put in a freezer and left to die. She shivered some as she pulled her covers closer to her chin, burrowing her head into whatever soft object was cuddled next to her.<br/><br/>She didn't know what time it was or if she was late for her shift--but she found she didn't care. She wasn't even sure she could get up any way. Everything felt like it was spinning. She gave a groan, her stomach flipping a little. She took a shuddering breath and hugged the body next to her, her head nuzzling into its chest.
