"You know, if we were meant to swim, the radiation would have given us gills." MacCready said as I heard that smug grin on his face.
So what if I had accidentally fell off of the bridge while walking on the edge and I may have fallen into the water even after countless warnings from MacCready.
"Oh, cram it." I snapped as I walked onto shore while MacCready took his sweet time getting down to me.
It was January, defiantly below freezing, and I was soaking wet.
Now was not the time for jokes.
"I told you, Alexis. Did I not?" MacCready taunted as I ignored him, walking up the broken road.
I had to get back to Home Plate and change clothes before I got hypothermia.
Luckily, Diamond City was only about an hour's walk from here.
I started walking up the broken road, ignoring all of MacCready's jokes and comments. I wasn't mad at him, I just wanted to get back home before I got sick.
If I got sick, that would make it harder to find Shaun.
"Hey, I was just joking." MacCready said as I looked towards him.
"I know, Mac. I need to get back home so I can change clothes and warm back up. It's freezing!" I told him as I started walking again before hearing some shuffling noises.
"Mac, what are you doing back there?" I asked as I felt something warm go over my shoulders.
It was MacCready's jacket.
"There. That should, uh, keep you from freezing to death." MacCready said as I smiled at him.
"Thank you, MacCready." I told as he rubbed the back of his neck.
I had to admit, it was funny seeing him all embarrassed.
"No problem." he replied as I lifted my Pip-Boy up and tuned the radio to Diamond City Radio.
Maybe falling into the water wasn't such a bad thing, after all.
