Description
The dwarf awoke, looking around. Ridge was resting against a log, quietly sleeping. The fox girl was curled up on herself, and the spaceman wasn't there.
He sighed and stood, looking around for the spaceman. He noticed him off behind them, near the oasis.
He thee some water down onto the fire now that it was becoming morning, and made his way over to his friend.
"Hey buddy." He smiled.
The alien, who had been leaning against a tree, skimming stones across the water, looked up at him.
"Don't you wanna get some sleep?" The dwarf asked, placing his hands into his pockets and tilting his head slightly.
Xephos signed and looked back to the water.
"Not gonna talk to me?" The dwarf asked, folding his arms and stepping closer. "Why what's wrong?"
"Nothing." The spaceman stood up straight and faced Honeydew.
"Doesn't seem like nothing mate. Is it what happened with Exza?" He walked closer and the spaceman seemed to growl slightly.
"No. It's nothing." He answered, stubbornly. "Can't you just leave me to myself for a bit." He looked away.
"You and I both know its because you didn't help earlier." The dwarf stated.
"Back off! I tried!" The spaceman pushed him, and the dwarf grabbed his jacket and threw him round, punching him.
He landed on the ground as Ridge came over. "Stop it! Both of you."
The dwarf looked down to the spaceman, who simply stared at the floor.
"What's gotten into you two?! The crystals coming to get us and we need to stick together to stop it." The reaper said, looking between the two of them.
The spaceman stood and placed his hands into his pockets, walking away.
The reaper turned to the dwarf. "What was that about?"
"He's being salty because he didn't help earlier..." Honeydew mumbled, dusting himself off. "Nothing to worry about..."
"Seems to me like it is." Ridge sighed. "Let's let things settle down a bit. Get back to camp and make some breakfast. I'll go for a scout around and see if we're still OK here. We shouldn't risk moving around too much with Exza still healing."
Honeydew nodded and they both made their way back over to camp. The spaceman had wondered off at this point, seeming to be collecting little things from the desert.
"Hey look who's up!" Ridge smirked as they sat down at the camp.
"Eh shush... What happened while I was out of it?" The fox girl pushed herself up so that she was sitting.
"Not much. Xephos is being grumpy." Honeydew said, sitting down and pulling out his frying pan.
The reaper pulled on his boots and stood, nodding to the other two and grabbing his sword. "OK I'm gonna scout for a bit, Honeydew you make the food, Exza, if you wanna do something try and just grab some supplies from around the place yeah?" He said.
"Sure." Exza said, clicking her fingers and making the fire in the centre of them dance around.
"Alright I'll be back in a couple of hours. The crystal shouldn't be nearby but... Just in case." The reaper nodded and headed off into the distance.
------------
The fox girl walked around, and spotted the alien not far away. He ignored her.
Frowning, she shook her head and made her way over.
"Hey grumpybum what's up?" She smirked, poking him.
"Nothing..." He avoided looking at her.
"...seriously. Xeph. You've been strange. Last night you completely blanked me and didn't come over to the camp, I hear you had a fight with Honeydew and now you're acting like I don't even exist." She raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't exactly sound like nothing does it?" She smirked. "Now, what's wrong?" Folding her arms, she waited. He knew she wasn't going to leave until he told her.
"I'm sorry..."
She blinked at him "wh-"
"I... Didn't help you."
She blinked slightly. He was looking down, away from her.
"I could have... But you were in so much pain! I... I didn't help you. And you were dying... I just stood there and watched."
"You couldn't help it." She said.
He looked up at her, and she smiled.
"Besides, I'm fine now aren't I?" She smirked.
"Yeah but..."
"But nothing. I know why you didn't help... You didn't want to see me in pain... You didn't want to cause me more pain... Its as simple as that. But I'm still here, I'm fine, and you can't exactly go back and change anything. The best we can do now is hurry up and collect supplies and then we can go somewhere else to stay away from the crystal." She smiled. He gave a small smile and put a hand to his face.
"In so stupid..." He mumbles. She giggled and he laughed as well.
She went up and hugged him. "Yes. Yes you are."
He hugged her back. "Eh shut up."
------------
They sat at the camp, eating what Honeydew had made. Ridgedog made his way over and sat down, placing his sword down as well.
"So tired..." The reaper moaned.
"Eh shush posh boy." Exza smirked. "Any sign of the crystal?"
"Nope. We have a day at least." Ridge leant forward and grabbed some food.
"We should still be careful though..." Xephos said. "We don't want him to sneak up like last time."
"I'll stay up tonight and keep check." Honeydew said. "Or I'll... Do something with the dirt to make it defend for me so I can have a nap..."
Everyone laughed.
"I could stay up and make a barrier. Forcefield and all that." Exza said. "I don't mind."
"You need to keep your strength up." Ridge said. "You should rest. I can keep the forcefield up."
"Wow being nice now are we?" Exza smirked.
"Don't push it fox. I just don't want to be cleaning up the mess you leave behind." He smirked back.
"I don't know Ridge, she's a lot tougher than she looks." Honeydew said.
"Was that a compliment dwarf man?" Exza asked, her tail swishing behind her.
"Don't get used to it." The dwarf answered.
"Well as long as you realise I won't compliment you back either." Exza smiled.
"This is nice." Xephos interrupted. "Its nice just being able to hang out like this... Without work or inventions or anything getting in the way... I mean other than a giant crystal who's trying to kill us..." He chuckled.
"Yeah what do you think his problem is anyway?" Honeydew asked Ridge.
The realer shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine."
------------
"I h4v3 s3en why th1s world 15 such a m3s5... I c4n s3e wh4t y0uv3 don3 t0 it." He chimed. His broken whistling continued, a broken tune. "Y0u sh0w3d m3 wh4t5 wr0ng with th1s w0rld. And 1t5 you. Y0u 4r3 destr0y1ng it. S0 y0u mu5t b3 5topp3d th1s w0rld w1ll b3 clen5ed. Of y0u..."
