Ow!

[ it's more surprise than pain that prompts the small shriek, her eyes squeezing shut as she curls in on herself reflexively. looks like someone's still traumatized after her run-in with the gullguards earlier.... (also, excuse her?? her eyes are beautiful and unique, thank you very much! though now's probably not a good time to say as much, huh....) ]

I'm sorry! [ at least there's that. ] It's just, well, you know about the punishment for not finishing the scavenger hunt, right? I already had to put up with those awful lifeguards earlier, I really don't want to have to see them again.

[ also she really really really wants that dessert voucher.....her cake. she's going through withdrawal. ]

Please, I promise I'll help you with whatever you need.

[ ignoring the fact that she still needs two more pairs of sunglasses after this. it's fine. she'll cross that bridge when she gets there. ]
