[ She's trying very hard to keep it all together. Not just for her own sake either. Lucy's emotions have been chaotic since early this morning and she's not sure how to handle it other than to cry.

Still, in the midst of hiccups, she stammers out. ]

G-Goji-san, he was- Kaede-san saw...uuuu...

[ No, she can't do it. She can't keep it together. She's crying again with a total lack of dignity and sobs leaving her lungs starved for air. ]

[ Oh, that voice! That's the turtle guy isn't it? ]

Donchaaaaaaan!!

[ Hopefully he can forgive her for the wail. She sniffles and pulls herself together after another minute. ]

I'm...I'm still out at the campsite.

[soft_shelled]

[It's fine, things are fine.]

And where is this campsite? I don't exactly know where a lot of things are around here, but I can come get you if you need me too.

[saudadist]

Umm, I...hold on...

[ Looking for her map is a wonderful distraction, honestly. She sends Donnie a location based on her implant's GPS, and it's out in the mountains. A good couple of hours to drive for sure. ]

Is this good?

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, I can get there pretty quick if I fly. I think.

[Yes, he is willing to have his battle shell not be cloaked if it means helping out.]

[saudadist]

You can fly, Donchan?

[ His battle shell is so cool! Kaede-san was right, he is a tech wizard! ]

Kaga-san said she'd send Kiko-chan and her helicopter too.

[soft_shelled]

[Eugh... he said he was just going to ignore Kaga but this is also a friend in need.]

If it's just her fox and a helicopter there shouldn't be any issues... and it might be a better way to get you back then if I tried to carry you.

[saudadist]

[ She has an inkling of the strife, but Lucy can't exactly elaborate at the moment so- ]

Maybe, but...but I still want to see you later, Donchan! Which room are you in now? Your brother is there too right? I wanna meet him!

[soft_shelled]

[Honestly he'd prefer if Nyuu didn't know about his bullshit with Kaga.]

I'm staying with him at the Kyoto base for now, so once you get back maybe all three of us can hang out? You and Kaede are my friends after all, so you should meet Leo.

[saudadist]

Yeah! What does he like? I'll bring a souvenir for him too!

[ Should she really be worrying about souvenirs at a time like this? ]

[soft_shelled]

Ah. Don't worry about that, Nyuu. Worry about getting back safe, ok?

[saudadist]

I'll be safe, Donchan! I promise.

[soft_shelled]

Good, that's better than any souvenir.

[UGH with everything going on, Nyuu just being nice makes him emotional. But he'll hold it in because it wouldn't help at all.]

[saudadist]

[ Unable to help herself, she laughs all flustered. ]

Yep, yep! So keep a space set up in your room for me to sit!

[soft_shelled]

I will, promise.

[He may not be going to help get her, but damned if he's not going to say stuff to keep her calm or happy.]
