I guess?”[/color] Neither Lizzie nor Kirk’s sentiments made Katie feel any better about the location but at least there were no creatures scampering about beneath the water. Daichi’s plank of wood made certain of that and once the water was checked out, the group descended among the waves. [color=powderblue]“Er, you don’t happen to have an extra pair of boots in there, do you?”[/color] Katie asked Lizzie, smiling in embarrassment as she looked at her bag. She tried not to think about how childish she was sounding right now.

As it turned out, Lizzie did among…other things in that bag of her. Before long she too was wading in the murky depths of the swamp with the rest of the group. It didn’t take too much longer before they arrived at the tree they had scouted out earlier. Katie noted the ground underfoot was becoming less sporadic and resembling something close to stability. It was a good place to set up a base of sorts, a sentiment Daichi spoke aloud of.

[color=powderblue]“I can scout ahead,”[/color] Katie said with a raised arm. [color=powderblue]“It’s probably best I put some distance between myself and the group anyway. Since we’re surrounded by water and my Attribute is…er, yeah.”[/color] Before she went off on her own, Katie looked around at the others in her group to see if anyone else wanted to join her. Her gaze passed from Lizzie to Kirk and then finally Kay.
