Before she even had a chance to recover from the headache, she was grabbed by Caitriona and dragged out of the cave. No amount of protesting was really going to help her, she realized. This...Caitriona was not someone that let things go all that easily. With a quite grumble, a stretch and a heavy tired sigh, Charlotte followed after the native. If she had to be honest, Caitriona reminded her of...Charlotte dismissed the thought quickly, following after Caitriona towards the beach.

Eventually the two of them found their way back on the sandy beach, a tall palm tree looming over head with fresh coconuts growing from it. Well, she supposed those would probably make up her diet until she could build effective traps of some sort. The only question was, why had she been rudely woken up and dragged out here? Caitriona pointed upwards towards one of them...

She....didn't expect [i]her[/i] to climb up there, did she? Well, she supposed she'd have to learn eventually but how would...no, actually, looking at the tree it could be very doable even by her with the right amount of leverage...barring her lack of physical ability it shouldn't be too impossible to do it. She could easily do it in fact...probably. She'd just have to use the small grooves in the bark of the tree as small footholds to help her ascent, and if she could use her arms as to hold the back of the tree while she moved up-

before she could finish her thought, a swat on her butt caused Charlotte to go completely red in the face, looking over at Cait with a mix of confusion, embarrassment, and obvious disapproval as she hopped a few steps away from the other woman.

...right. She was probably just telling her to hurry up.

With an irritated huff, Charlotte walked over to the tree and inspected the truck herself. Right. Easy enough. She'd just need to use physics to her advantage here. She wrapped her arms around the truck, holding it tightly as she braced her legs against it and attempted a makeshift 'walk' up the truck. It was going fairly well for a few feet, until she slipped and fell right back to the ground, landing on her butt. She glared up at the tree in a somewhat childish looking manner, determined to conquer this looming obstacle on her path.

A few more attempts were made with varying success.

The next, she made similar progress, but one of her hands slipped off of the smooth bark, causing her to slide along the trunk and fall off, landing against the trunk of the tree with her head on the ground and her back against it. With a convenient coconut being dislodged and landing right on her butt again.

Another attempt had Charlotte make it a little further, but this time her foot slipped off the bark. She slid around, landing on her back in the sand. Well, at least nothing - gah! Something pinched her butt! After standing up, she reached for the offending object to find a rather grumpy looking crab firmly lodged onto her backside. She forcefully dislodged the crab, glaring at it before tossing it off in a random direction and making another attempt.

Eventually after a few more attempts, and a fairly sore buttocks, the young alchemist [i]finally[/i] managed to get to the top of the palm tree, within arms reach of the coconuts. She just had to grab one. 

Just

A bit

closer

Keeping her body close to the trunk, she shimmied along and reached for a coconut. At least up here it was much easier to keep balance, since most palm trees seemed to have a tendency to curve towards a side at this height. After a few seconds of reaching, she finally got her hands on her first coconut. A small feeling of excitement was short lived as she forgot exactly where she was, and after doing a little victory pose...slid right back down the trunk of the palm tree, landing on the ground on her back once again, hugging the coconut tightly to her chest.

This was her coconut, and she was gonna eat it and that Caitriona couldn't have it.
