--IN THE MORNING--

Corcoran: <Stretching> "What did we get ourselves into?"

Faith: <Announcing to the group> "Yeah, what did we get ourselves into?"

Kali: <Looking up from her previously curled up ball> "I haven't a clue"

Fletcher snorts ungracefully and starts awake.

Fletcher: "Wh- where in the hell- "

He touches his head gingerly; his head throbs painfully and he is terribly dizzy.

Fletcher: "Ouch, I think I broke something"

Faith: "Oh yeah, broken ankle guy"

Yuko: "That's no way to refer to an injured being, savage or not!"

Faith: "I'm just fed up; I've been stuck here for ages!"

Corcoran: "You know what those gunshots were?"

Kali: "No, all I saw is that one of the men. I didnt see who shot the shot either, but it wasn't any of the other men"

Corcoran: "I wonder who it was..."

Faith: <Turning to Fletcher> "Imma need to help with that ankle now, sit still"

Fletcher yelps and awkwardly scrambles away from the group, clearly having forgotten the events of the past night.

Faith pulls some large, spear-shaped leaves from her bag and repeats her words,

Faith: "Sit still"

Fletcher: "Who the fuck even are you two?! Where's Koda?"

Faith: "He's forgotten, hasn't he?"

Yuko: <Screeching like a cat at 3am> "Wait, I have to eat leaves?!"

This is an entirely new concept to her, very different from the usual properly cooked meals she used to have at home everyday.

Yuko: "No! I am not stooping that low! I refuse!"

Faith: "No, I have to eat leaves, I hope you guys have better food. Now, sit still, injured guy"

Fletcher: "The fuck- "

He stumbles out of the tent and onto the field atop the cliff, swaying slightly with dizziness.

Fletcher: "Ouch...that hurt"

Faith: "That's why you need to sit still"

Yuko is still screeching in the corner about the leaves she didn't even have to eat.

Yuko: "Well, what else am I supposed to eat! I don't have anything with me! You wouldn't, if you'd just escaped by the skin of your teeth from dæmon cutters!"

Faith: "Then you're eating leaves"

Fletcher: "Dæmon cutters?!"

Yuko: <Shouting> "I am NOT eating leaves! And yes, dæmon cutters, we discussed this last night!"

Faith: "If you don't eat them your gonna starve! Deal with the leaves, Corcoran has!"

Corcoran: "I never said I like them..."

Yuko: "Well then, id rather starve than eat LEAVES"

She sits back down with her arms folded.

Yuko: "Hmph!"

Faith: "Fine then!"

Faith reaches towards Fletcher and wraps the leaves around his ankle.
