A little dragon spit out from the end of her wand, and she didn't have a chance to see if it was doing its job or not--Toby was tugging on her hand, and she just...she followed behind him.
It was kinda' realistically creepy in here...like an actual jungle...and every little crunch of a twig--crush of a leaf--Eden was wincing and being a major BABY about it. This was...this was intense.
For some reason, Eden loved it.
Toby stopped, and Eden, too, leaned against the tree and panted...."Me--me t-too--" she said, fanning her face with her hand as she peered around for some water..was there a nice stream anywhere? "You think Aguamenti would work?" ....for some reason, Eden doubted that it would. That would just be TOO easy, wouldn't it?
....She stood up straight...."Is...that a little stream over there?" she pointed, taking Toby's hand again and pulling him along. "WE CAN'T LET OURSELVES DIE OUT HERE, TOBIAS. "
A streeeeeam? What? WHERE?!
Toby's thirst was all-consuming and the idea that there was drinkable water nearby in the form of a stream was like mUSIC TO HIS EARS. Even though he was still recovering from the run and the heat and the humidity and the thirst, he didn't complain when Eden grabbed his had again and yanked him after her. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS EXHAUSTED, EDEN.
"Technically..." Toby gasped, because of, like... thirstiness.
"We're still in. Probably. Unless we... *pant pant* ... portkeyed some...how." Merlin. He needed to drink some- wAS THAT A POND?
"Look!"
It WAS a pond.
Toby dropped to his knees by the water's edge and released Eden's hand. He was all ready to go ahead and DIP HIS FACE RIGHT IN when, just a few inches from the water, he saw them.
"AAAGHHH! BITEY FISH! BITEY FISH!" The thirst was making him LOOPY, and word's weren't coming. What Toby meant to say was 'Eden, don't touch the water, I think there's piranhas in there, wait a moment.' But...
"BITEY FISH."
MERLIN, GET IT TOGETHER, FULLER-THOMPSON. Toby knew he was being cray, so he took the liberty of slapping HIMSELF around the face.
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, DUDE.
Ahem. Nothing to see here.
"We... need something to scoop the water. To avoid the... bitey fish." Whatever they were called. All Toby knew was that they had real gnashers on them. Definitely very bitey.
