Her words didn’t make her feel completely better, but that gut-clenching mortification was somewhat diluted. Calypso tugged down her hood (which was quite adorable) and rolled out her sleeping bag parallel to the fire. [color=#e9dd25] “I guess. Thanks, though. You’re way too nice.”[/color] Dakota would find herself wrapped in a crushing side-hug a moment later. Luckily, Calypso had washed her face of vomit after the ritual, so the hug was not accompanied by the aroma of Calypso’s regurgitated dinner. She let go after maybe a moment too long and leaned back on her hands, surveying the rest of the group. Most of them were sitting by the campfire, talking to each other. Maybe she’d go join them in a moment! It [i]was[/i] kinda cold over here… and the dark undergrowth was starting to creep her out. Her attention was snapped away from the rest of the group by Dakota again- and this time, Astro too! Calypso cooed at the little rodent. Never having been able to settle on her own familiar, she had instead always fawned over those of her peers. Astro was one of her favorites. Even if he was a little bitey. [color=#e9dd25] “Ooh, yes please!”[/color] Calypso squeed, extending her arms for Astro to climb onto her. Tiny claws dug into her arm as he climbed up it, and she laughed, picking the little squirmy monster back up and putting him against her chest, which he promptly snuggled against. After getting Astro settled, she glanced back up at Dakota and scrutinized the bracelet. [color=#e9dd25]“What a lucky find! It’s totally pretty- you should keep it. I bet it would impress, like, a boy or something.”[/color] It looked kind of familiar to Calypso, but she shoved the thought aside. She must’ve seen it on the Internet or something. [color=#e9dd25] “Astro [i]is[/i] such a good boy for finding you that bracelet!”[/color] She made kissy faces at the ferret, who only responded with a cackle. When Dakota asked to go deeper in the forest and get high, the smile dropped off of Calypso’s face. She bit her lip. Then, Iris spoke up very loudly, and she bit her lip even more. Drugs made her nervous, and so did the woods. The both of them combined, though? Even more nervous. [color=#e9dd25]“You know, I don’t think… that that’s such a good idea? It’s just... the woods, and who knows what’s out there at 1 AM? Also, um…”[/color] She struggled to come up with an another reason as to why they should not get high in the forest, and her eyes alighted upon Charlie. He had just said that loud thing about not getting high, though. [color=#e9dd25]“Charlie’ll totally snitch. Maybe some other time, though?”[/color] [@Hitman][/center]
