[Voice]

[Though it's relatively quiet, a slight breeze can be heard passing over the mic. The sound of leaves rustling against one another is also there. That calm silence lasts for only a minute, then a voice appears though its also rather quiet]

...It seems I have been brought back. [Another pause then she speaks again, a bit more irritated] Unfortunately, I'm unable to remember anything that happened in the time I was gone. Dammit.

...My body aches...I don't think I'll be able to move off of this branch in this condition. I...need to rest... [Her voice fades off.]

[Action]

[Not too far from the village, up in a tree on a thick branch, there lies a Naoto, but she isn't very high up at all. Someone could easily get her down without climbing themselves. One leg is dangling off of the branch and the other is up on it. Her back is resting against the trunk behind her and the journal is resting nicely in her lap.

Her face and neck bare a few scratches and her arms are covered in deeper cuts that disappear up her sleeves. Not to mention she's relatively weak so that makes moving around an issue.

Although she looks like she's asleep, her eyes being closed and all, she's only just resting so she'll notice anyone who comes by.

Though she isn't aware of it right now, she's lost all sense of feeling/touch, temporarily of course. For example, she wouldn't be able to tell if something was hot or freezing by touching it or like she can't feel someones body heat.]

[It takes her a moment but eventually she sees something moving in between the trees and tries to shift around so he can possibly see her]

I see you. [She shouts a little to help lead him in the right direction] Over here!

[Sora tilts his head waaay back, and... waffles momentarily over how the heck he's going to get Naoto down. he slaps his journal closed and tucks it away, raising his voice:]

Do you think you can climb, or should I come get you?

[Good question. She doesn't exactly want to admit that she needs help so she tries to move, though it takes a bit of effort so she leans back against the trunk behind her and gives in]

....I may need help...

All right. Hang on!

[good thing Sora is a monkey, otherwise climbing up this tree might prove difficult.]

Alright... [Go monkey Sora, go! Naoto just relaxes against the tree, feeling a little tired like before]

[a few minutes later, tada! monkey Sora--]

Hey, Naoto! [he latches on to the trunk, taking a tentative step out on a branch to test its stability, before reaching a hand out to her.]

Hello, Sora-kun.

[She makes sure that he has good footing on that branch before reaching out to take his hand. Okay...time to see if she can step down onto a branch that's closer to him. So she carefully starts to slide off the branch she's on to step on to another, squeezing his hand a little. She does manage to get on that branch but clings to the one behind her with her free hand, since her legs are trying to give]

... Here, you need me to carry you down? [Sora could do it! he's a shrimp, yes, but he is still a bit taller than five feet-- he takes a few tentative steps toward Naoto, his other hand outstretched in case she needs extra bracing.]

[Don't mind Naoto, she's just stubborn and proving to herself that she can stand on her own. But as she goes to take Sora's other hand, her legs finally cave and practically falls on him, latching an arm around his neck to keep herself up]

...I think so...[Embarrassed]

[it's a good thing Sora has the tree trunk to stumble back against, otherwise the both of them would probably be taking a not-very hilarious tumble to the ground. his eyes might have boggled out of his head for a split second, and the color may have drained from his face at the stumble, but he immediately recovers.]

S'all right, I had to get help back, too... Remember? [he... carefully turns himself around with Naoto still hanging on, so she can hop on his back.]

[Her own face turns white temporarily when he stumbles back, clinging to him a bit tighter. Normally she isn't afraid of heights, but actually almost falling...big difference. She recovers just as fast as Sora]

Yes, I remember. [She shifts when he turns around to get on his back, her arms drapped on his shoulder's one she's on] I still feel like I should apologize.

No need to apologize! I just want to make sure you get home safe.

[hang on tight, Naoto, Sora will try to make their descent as quickly and safely as possible.]

Thank you.

[She's hanging on relatively tightly, though not enough to choke him since her arms are now around his neck.]
