Joven's mind raced excitedly as he explained Hazel and her visit and the idea of possibly returning with her together to spend time in Florida to the others a few minutes later.
"Are you serious?" Sohinki squeaked as Joven finished; a smile drawn joyously on his face.
"I'm totally serious about this! Anyone on board for the idea?" he replied with a curious smile.
"I'm in!" everyone, but Sohinki agreed in accidental unison.
They turned to see Sohinki shaking his head.
"Why aren't you excited about this? It will so much fun," Lasercorn asked curiously.
Sohinki replied while he wiped away a short somewhat manly tear, "You wouldn't care about it... You'll tease me."
They saw Sohinki bring his legs up to his chest and rock back and forth on his chair.
"Oh, come on Sohinki! We won't you tease you. We're your friends," Mari said sweetly.
Sohinki sighed softly before he spoke.
"I'm afraid… I'm afraid to go, to be with things that can head-but, sting, and boldly harm me… I'm afraid… Also, I can't s-swim," Sohinki replied.
They sat there in shock.
