“Pretty good, other than the fact that Joe can’t remember anything about me”
“Last I checked, you were into me”
“I think.”
“I think”
“And we both acted too childish to be taken seriously”
“Darn millenials”
“You’re really acting different, are you ok?”
“Dunno, been feeling weird ever since I blacked out.”
“Hmmm, well, we’re almost at the cave, maybe that’ll jog your memory?” Rhyuto could see the worry in Kronax’s eyes
She fakes a smile and a laugh, and elbows him slightly.
“Don’t worry! I’m the same person as always!”
“I should hope so!” Kronax smiles
She slowly frowns and stares down imperceptibly. She doesn’t want him to be concerned, but also has no idea what in hell is going on.
Kronax grabs her hand and tries to increase the pace to a run
He seems excited
She starts stumbling, barely able to catch up.
They arrive at the cave, gemstones lining the walls, glittering from the lift given off by the lava lake in the center
“Does this jog your memory?” Kronax asks, looking expectantly at Rhyuto
“Vaguely, didn’t I yell at you here?”
“Yeah, cuz I almost fell into the pool of lava…”
Kronax admires the view
“Man, this place is perfect for us fire types, huh?”
“Yeah…”
She took a deep breath, and inhaled the fumes of the luminescent lake.
Kronax sits down next to Rhyuto, and invites her to do the same
Sitting down, she looks from his Hau to the lake.
Kronax awkwardly attempts to put his hand on hers
