 End of break and Phase 3 | #Post5 Little Fox | ½ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA
It was still quite difficult to relax and 'take a break' when she was still in the jungle scenario, but at least all the pesky bugs were gone, and there were no piranhas in sight ...... and it had gone dark. Night time. That was actually quite a nice touch. Clara looked up from where she was laying, wondering whether she'd see what she thought she might. She did. Stars littered the night sky, bringing a magical and calming touch to the jungle.
She couldn't stay like forever, though, and after about five minutes she sat up. She then pushed herself up to standing, and while doing so noticed something in her pocket that wasn't there before. Essence of murtlap. Perfect. Clara applied it first to her neck and hands, as those were the spots that were bitten most, and then to any other exposed skin. The itching and irritation ceased almost immediately, becoming bearable and almost unnoticeable. She relaxed again, leaning against a tree, still keeping an eye out for poor Rooney.
She noted that her break was coming to an end as it began getting light again and bugs started buzzing.
Time to move on.
After looking around once more for Rooney, Clara concluded that she wasn't going to find him and that he'd probably gone past her at some point without her knowing.... she certainly hoped that was the case. It was now time to face whatever challenge in the jungle came next.
Except, she almost started to think that it wasn't coming. She kept her eyes peeled, watching everything around her, but it felt like she was just walking and walking. But eventually .... she came to the edge of ... something ... with no way to get across other than a bridge. A bridge with several planks of wood missing. A bridge that didn't look like it could survive even a stone being tossed on it.
Brilliant. |
