...

Maybe we ought to just tie a plastic bag around your wrist. Your shoulder should be more or less alright by now, enough to take a quick dive.

[ Realistically no but we're functioning on a mg timeline. ]

[yeah mg timeline means you can walk immediately after losing a leg

she grins at him, tail waving.]

You think so? [a beat.] Well, at least I won't boil the water this time.

[ Please don't lose a leg. ]

I would be impressed if you somehow managed to boil the entire ocean in that amount of time.

But yes, really. As long as we waterproof the actual wound area, I'm sure you could play a bit. Saline water isn't actually bad for wounds, but you don't know what's in the ocean, so.

[ Karlach deserves to swim... ]

[no promises]

Not a thing here anyway, even in smaller waters. Me and -- [she pauses. clears her throat.] Me and Boothill tried boiling the leeches but I'm all cooled down.

[she glances down at her hand.]

Anyway, yeah. I'd like that. It's been an age since I've gotten to swim.

[ Karlach blease. You worry him the most out of anyone else here injuries-wise. ]

...Right. Let's move some things around then, get you out there.

[ Just moving on from that -- let's focus on letting you have a spot of fun. There's like gloves and stuff between the farmstead and the Funky Fashionista surely there's at least one that's sort of waterproof or water-resistant. It's going on her hand with a bit of support to make sure they stay in place.

Be free!!! ]

[tank priv baybeeee let her get down to one hp she'll be fine

she seems like she's still in a good mood at least, as they scrounge around for gloves. and once they've found something and she's all set up, she doesn't even bother taking anything off. maybe her boots, but the leather and stuff just stays as she jumps into the ocean with a holler, grinning.

she's a grown-ass woman but sometimes you just want to splash around in the sea like a toddler, so that's what she does for a bit. at least she's easy to spot in the waves, red and glowing.]

[ Truly just having a decent time watching Karlach have the time of her life.

He really will just stand here and watch on until she exhausts herself like letting a dog go buck fucking wild at the park. ]

[this is very funny he really did let her off the leash

she eventually does get tired after a while. when she comes out of the waves, she comes up to daan

and shakes like a dog to get him wet, laughing.]

Augh -- hey.

[ Raising his hands to shield himself from some of the water. ]

This is how I'm thanked?

You looked like you were longing for the waves, meds!

[heehee.]

Anyway. Thank you. [uwu]

Maybe some other time.

[ Aka never. ]

Of course. I'm glad you had a good time -- it looked like it.

I did, yeah. It's going to be a damn shame if we can't come back here.

[if she were less of a nice person she would just toss him into the ocean but seeing as she is, she just squeegees herself, getting rid of excess water.]

Hey, you hungry?

Let's not jinx ourselves.

[ Imagine they lose their clothes and their showers so quick!!! Grief.

Daan stops to think about this, considering. ]

...Guess I haven't exactly eaten well the past few...

...

The refectory doesn't offer amazing stuff, but yeah, I could go for some food.

[THEIR SHOWERS. GRIEF.

this activates karlach's mother hen instinct. she hasn't gotten to use it much because daan has out mother henned her for the most part, but today she will!!

she rests a hand on his arm, grinning a bit.]

Then let's go grab something, yeah? There's the fruits all over, and the vegetables. Nobody cares if you take them.

Fruit is fine, but I'd rather cook most vegetables first.

[ He is not going to munch on raw carrots, okay? ]

Can you cook?

[ It's a hilariously popular question to ask this week. ]
