by Purple Phase Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:45 pmThe heat was oppressive and the air with thick as cement. Nariko paused to drink and wipe sweat from her forehead. "Hey," she spoke, which she rarely did throughout the entire journey. An air of dutiful indifference had shrouded her through the whole mission. Her words hesitated as she forced them out. "What's the first thing you think you'll do when you get back?" She then continued chugging her water down her throat. She abandoned any sense of humility, as heat and humidity trumped any sense of civility.
Nariko, who had be confident throughout her time in the jungle, took a pause just long enough to let him respond. However, it was apparent her eyes were caught on something. Normally, she was indifferent to much around her beyond vague useful curiosity, and a good understanding of the fauna. Her head stared into the dense under brush as she pulled a blade for hacking the underbrush from her side. Like a deer in the headlights her forehead scrunched tight in anticipation.
