Kid sat twirling a strand of her silky hair around her fingers, watching the waterfall splash over the entrance to the lair. You'd have to come through that whitewater rush to get in it, which she doubted Leena would do, but there was an obscure door in the absolute back of the cave. She had decided not to check it out, since only God knows that if you opened it, maybe you'd end up in the Faerie Festival. Bored, she pulled a small organizer out of her pocket, and entered one of the writing programs. 'Day One, My journey has begun. I only hope I can avoid Serge long enough to get to...Chrono...umm...I can't remember the name again! O_o;;; Chrono-what's-it's-face. I'll just call it that. Err...I kinda borrowed a boat and sailed to Water Dragon Isle. That reminds me, when I woke up, I had this huge cut on my shoulder...Yep, it's still there. Untended. I'll have to ask Leena what she knows about doctoring skills and if she has a handy first aid kid around. ^_^ I guess that's kind of an understatement...This place where I'm sitting right now, is where the Water Dragon once lived. This place, where I am right now! Can you believe that?'
She looked around, the crystalline walls, her skirt and tank top, the day planner/organizer, the water trickling down the walls in mini-waterfalls, the door in the back of the room. Everything. She hopped off the large pedestal and took her time walking to that door, taking in everything around her with awe and caution. Opening the door, she peered out of it, to see Razzly talking to Leena, and Serge quickly looking over to her. Kid slammed the door shut and leaned up against it, as if someone were trying to push it open and she was making an effort to stop it. Putting her thoughts somewhere else proved to be tough; all she could think about was Serge seeing her, or Leena coming through the waterfall all soggy and wet. She chuckled to herself, quietly so Serge, Leena, Razzly and the others enjoying the Festival couldn't hear.
Startled by the sound of someone struggling, Kid shrank back against the damp wall. "Who is it...?" she whispered. Her voice was caught in her throat, so even if she tried to yell, she couldn't.
"Kid-san, I'm here..." Leena coughed, drenched. Kid looked up immediately from the organizer, and smiled. It was actually kind of hard not to laugh. "Lemme see your shoulder--"
"Guess ya met the waterfall, eh?" Kid joked, showing an angry Leena her arm.
"Yeah, I guess I did. That's some waterfall, I tell you." Leena wrapped a bandage around Kid's shoulder. "Hey, where's your little jacket thing?"
Kid looked down at herself. It was gone? She hadn't noticed until now. Not even when she'd checked herself before. "...Probably lost the bloody thing during the night. I heard that's where I got this cut here."
"So you don't really know for sure?" Leena mused. "Shenzi Makaiana would have banished you from his village if you said that."
"Shenzi who?"
"Nevermind."
"Le~~~ena!" It was the voice of a familiar blue-haired boy. "Where a~~~re yo~~~u?"
