The team jokingly bickered all the way to the hill leading down into the Twinight Woods. The moment they arrived, no doubt the same thoughts crossed everyone's mind: the recent fire did a real number on the place. From the top of the hill, patches of dead trees and charred earth were like large wounds in the coat of blue leaves. Yet still, Pola led the way without stopping.
Even entering the place, there was a sorrowful wail in the air as if the forest was crying. The Twinight Woods was a world of nature, curious landmarks, and local wildlife, as Kayla had gotten used to. Now, it was a silent realm with chilly wind that couldn't so much as rustle the leaves of the trees still standing. Gone were the chirping birds and the digging insects, replaced by still patches of roasted ground and the spiky remains of snapped tree trunks. It was almost like walking through a graveyard, except instead of the graves of the fallen, it was the graves of nature itself.
"This is unbelievable... I thought the rain would've fixed things. But that monster dealt more damage than I thought," Kayla remarked, grimacing as they passed yet another clearing of dead land. "It doesn't even make sense. There were explosions and broken trees, but nature usually recovers from stuff like that, doesn't it?"
Pola put a palm in her elbow as she rubbed her chin, although she didn't slow walking. "Y'know, you're kinda right. If nature didn't do its usual stuff, then the ferals would be working. But I don't see shit. This place is toast."
"It's my fault. If only I'd been strong enough to stop Zude," Shannon turned away. He was rolling up his cloth in his paws.
"I was right there, and I couldn't do anything," Kayla began to mumble bitterly. Kari's stomach growled, making her ears perk up. "Uh... Kari?"
"S-sorry! I'm thinkin' about pizza!" she squeaked, blushing brightly.
"You figured out my secret. I'm always hungry!" she bounced up high.
"That's not a secret. Everybody knows you're a greedy noodle," Pola snickered.
"Hmm... yeah, I guess you're right. No point in wallowing," Kayla grinned. "So this pizza's really that good, huh?"
"It's like I told you Kayla. Stuffed crust, stuffed crust! There's extra stringy cheese in the crust itself, it's soooooo goooooood!" Kari gurgled at the end there, tail wagging and all. "You can eat it in reverse... crust first, base second!"
"Can we even afford it?" Kayla leaned away.
"You probably can't, but I definitely can. Depends on how much Ashe credits us," Pola snickered again. "Don't expect me to share!"
"It's okay. I'll share with you, Kayla!" Kari leaned in from behind for a hug.
"You've got me all curious, now," Kayla swayed her head, accepting the hug. "Stuffed crust isn't new to me, but I'm curious if it's better than what I've had before... wa-wait a minute."
