Auretta shakes her head again. “No…not really…” she mumbles.

"Okay. Let me know when you do." Val says, getting up and going to her own tent.

Auretta nods, still clinging to Nori. Tears prick her eyes again as she whimpers.

Nori hugs her back tightly, drawing her into his soft sweater. He makes soft shushing sounds as he sings softly in Japanese. He looks to Val, extremely concerned now

Auretta snuggles her face in Nori’s shoulder, practically melting in his arms as she whimpers.

Nori rubs her back, leaning into her hair. “It’s okay. Everything will be okay.” He rummages in his bag with his free arm, taking out a bottle of pills. “Here. If you’re still feeling nervous, take one of these.”

Val listens, but doesn't comment. She sighs, then goes to sleep.

Auretta shakily takes the bottle. “T-Thanks…” she mumbles, leaning her head on Nori’s shoulder. She still felt pretty nervous but she didn’t want to worry the others. “Mm…”

Nori continues rubbing her back, holding her closer. “What are you feeling right now?”

“H-Hungry…and my head hurts…” Auretta whines. “I-I also feel pretty sore…” she adds, looking up at him with tears in her eyes.

Nori relaxes his grip on her, smiling. “Do you like fruit snacks, Etta?”

Auretta nods, rubbing her eyes. “Y-Yeah…I-I do…” she mumbles.

Nori grins, taking a few out of his bag. “Here. I know they’re not super filling, but hopefully that helps. Have you had water recently?”

Auretta shakes her head. “N-No…” she murmurs, taking the fruit snacks. “T-That might be another reason I feel so terrible…”

Nori rolls his eyes, laughing. “There we go! There’s a valid reason. He hands her his waterbottle, covered in skater stickers and the office memes. “This is mine, so hopefully you don’t get mono or something.” He chuckles

Auretta laughs weakly before drinking some water. “T-Thanks…” she smiles sadly.

Nori continues stroking her hair, trying to keep her warm. He folds his wings inward, wrapping them around both of them. “You okay?”

Auretta continues drinking water before wiping her mouth. “I…I don’t know…” she sighs, leaning closer to Nori. “It’s pretty bad…” she mumbles.

Nori holds her closer, sighing. "I'm really sorry. I really wish I knew what to do to help."

Eventually, Valerie wakes up and goes hunting. She skins the rabbits she catches away from everyone, then starts cooking them.

“It’s not your fault…” Auretta tries to reassure Nori. “You did nothing wrong…” she smiles sadly.

Nori sniffs as memories resurface. He continues stroking her hair, leaning back against the tent. "But… but I feel like I need to do something. I can't just leave you in pain like this." Suddenly, he remembers his abilities. Closing his eyes, he pictures the electricity in Auretta's brain, trying to calm the nerves that made her hurt.

(Ooh, creative!)

Val heads over to the campfire at camp, and starts frying the rabbits. The smell soon starts wafting through the air, reaching Auretta's tent quickly.

Auretta snuggles close to Nori, trying to feel okay so that her friend could be happy. “It’s okay, Nori…I’ll be okay…I always am…” she whispers, not really feeling too much better. She lifts her head slightly. “Food…”

"Hey, you two! Food's ready!" Valerie calls, laughing.
