Clyde, Lilly, and Poppy are walking through an oak forest. They stop at a tree stump and Clyde unfolds a map.
"If we go through the forest, and across this river, a mangrove swamp is very close. We can rest there for the night." told Clyde.
"We don't have to walk that much, do we?" an exhausted Lilly said through tired breaths.
"Relax, it's only like, a thousand blocks away. Besides, it'll be faster if we run. Bet ya can't catch me" Poppy teased.
Poppy took off running toward the river, and Clyde was quick to chase after.
"Hey, wait up!" yelled an exhausted Lilly.
Lilly quickly caught up and ran past them. However, she wasn't watching where she was going... THUD.
Lilly tripped on a branch and rolled down a hill.
"OW!" Lilly yelled in pain.
"Lilly, are you okay?!" Poppy asked.
"Looks like she sprained her ankle." Clyde explained.
Clyde left to a tree and used his daggers to cut down some branches. He then crafted a wooden cast for Lilly's ankle.
"This should help. Put your arm around my shoulder. I'll help you walk." explained Clyde.
"Oh, o-okay. " Lilly said timidly.
The three walked together(although much slower than normal) and made it to the river by noon.
"Now we just have to swim across." said Clyde.
As the three sat near the river bank, Lilly looked at the river with terror. Clyde noticed this and got curious.
"Hey, you okay?" Clyde asked.
"U-um, well, actually- I can't swim. " Lilly said with embarrassment.
"No need to be embarrassed about it. If you want I'll carry you." said Clyde.
"Wh-what?" Lilly asked while blushing even harder. "O-okay."
Clyde and Poppy jumped into the water, with Clyde carrying Lilly on his back. They made it across the water and into the mangrove swamp.
