Who: Edward, Wander, anyone
When: Day 40, early afternoon
Where: coming from the 4th floor
What: TRIUMPHANT RETURN

[Look who's back from their nature exploration! Aside from both obviously being worn out and the bandage on Wander's leg, he and Edward seem to otherwise be unharmed.]

[There is a lot of nature stuck to Wander's sword, which he is kind of looking at now.]

Wander: Well, um, that was a good hunt.

Edward: It's too bad we don't have anything to show for it.

*best adopted puppy*

I am, too. Having him at my side all that time was something I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

[slayerofgiants]

That...ah. [one moment while I try to prevent myself from tearing up at how beautiful that is YES I'M PATHETIC I KNOW]

[Okay I'm good now]

That makes me very happy to hear. Memories such as those are priceless.

[nometal_alchemist]

They are. I'm glad I have them.

*tying off the bandage*

There. You should be all right for a while, now. If it starts bleeding through again I'll want to look at it again, though, to be sure it doesn't get infected.

[slayerofgiants]

It certainly hurts a lot less now.

[s-sheepish]

Ah, sorry for getting injured so much. Once we are more familiar with nature I am sure I will be far more useful on hunts.

[nometal_alchemist]

You did fine, Wander. Honestly, against an enemy like that, I would have expected us to take more injuries than one cut.

[slayerofgiants]

Still, it is rather embarrassing. I am normally a much more competent hunter than this!

[nometal_alchemist]

You really did fine, Wander! You fought back all those trees, you didn't get hit by whatever that thing was that fell out of the trees, and you barely got injured at all. Those trees weren't weak opponents.

[slayerofgiants]

I must do better next time!

[nometal_alchemist]

I'm sure you will! And that's something everyone should aspire to. You should never stop trying to get better.

[slayerofgiants]

I won't stop. In fact, I will become the best nature hunter in Thusia!

[it will at least give me some sort of goal to keep myself from becoming a sad puppy again...even if it is a bit ridiculous. :|]

[nometal_alchemist]

*claps you on the shoulder encouragingly*

I don't doubt it at all. Just remember that I'll be close on your heels.

[slayerofgiants]

[BEAMS]

But of course!

[nometal_alchemist]

I'll be pushing you to be stronger, so make sure you stay ahead of me. Otherwise I'll get lazy.

[slayerofgiants]

I promise I will do my best to stay ahead. You can count on it!

[nometal_alchemist]

I know I can.

[slayerofgiants]

[it feels good to be believed in. '-']

Then it is a deal. [serious headnod!]

[nometal_alchemist]

*then I will believe in you lots*

Don't forget it. I'll be holding you to it, now.
