There is the mention of needles in this chapter guys. Just to warn ya if you don't like that.
Journey
Together Axle and I gathered majority of my stuff, mainly the things I saw as useful and important. I decided to leave my shack up, as I could come back for things if I needed. I had a last check of my storage and pulled out my iron blade and turned towards Axle.
"Time to go then?" Axle asked, smiling.
Notch that smile is adorable... Do I really want to do this?... I smiled in response, nodding my agreement. C'mon Moohicky, you can do this...
As we tramped over the Extreme Hills, Axle asked me about my diabetes.
"How is the insulin delivered anyway" He questioned looking at me, his face one of interest.
"Injection. A tiny needle into the fat of my tummy." I explained for him.
"Does it hurt?"
I laughed. "Everyone asks that. Only for a little bit. You get use to it, after a while."
We kept chatting happily for the whole walk, often changing topic. We were just nearing the end of a Taiga biome when I saw structures start to appear on a plains. Woah, how many people are here?...
"Axle..." I started nervously, "How many people are here?"
"A few," he replied, grinning at me. "Nervous?"
"A little, okay? I'm not good with people..." I replied, trailing off.
"Ah, you'll be fine Moohicky. The Grounded Team are great people" Axle said reassuringly, patting my shoulder. There's that strange feeling again... No! Moohickyalah. You are friends! You must be imagining it...
Shaking my head at myself, I turned back to Axle and quirked my eyebrow at him. "The Grounded Team?"
"It's what we call ourselves. Come on, I'll introduce you." He replied, walking off. I ran after him to catch up.
"Hey Doomesdaye!"Axle yelled out to a figure in the distance. "Gather everyone would ya? Got someone I want you all to meet."
The figure, who was a male around our age who I assumed was this "Doomesdaye", looked up and looked me up and down. He tucked a diamond pick into his belt while replying "sure thing", before taking off.
Okay Moohicky, deep breaths. You will be okay...
