The Will to Push Forward [Sloth]

[wright_idea]

It's not until he's found the opposite end of Envy -- that must be it, he thinks dully, some sort of thing based around sins -- and has hung up the hazmat suit that Phoenix lets the events of what happened out in the fields sink in properly

There is water here, yes, cool and thankfully clean. And there are oranges full of marmalade, which isn't the most nutritious meal, but it makes a change from seared bear meat. Not that Changeling is really making an effort to eat any of the fruit on the tree he's currently sat under.

Because yes, there's a Changeling here too, green and black standing out against the pervasive blue of the environment despite his efforts to curl up as small as possible against the trunk of that tree. Really, he's just fine, he and his tree here, where it's nice and quiet and peaceful, and there are no zombies or parasites or anything else to worry about.

If he notices Phoenix passing by, he doesn't react at all, let alone try to greet him - maybe he's asleep, it's a little hard to tell without getting closer.

Burgers with Maya, drinks out with Mia, quiet conversations in the Sanctuary... Phoenix is counting his blessings outside of this area to keep up the momentum when he spots a familiar green form lazing beneath an orange tree (which he DEFINITELY notes, with a rumble of his stomach).

"Changeling? You're here too?" he asks, approaching him. Those oranges look fantastic -- except, well, there's that whole "fear of heights" that's usually present when he's not entranced by some outside effect.

Changeling looks up with a slow blink - he wasn't asleep, but something close, so from all appearances he could be described as drowsy. "Mhmm, I'm here too. Looks like lots of people from the party are - I'm glad you made it through the rest of this place alright, Phoenix." Or at least, he looks alright, doesn't he? Though Changeling notices the stomach rumbling. "Hungry? The oranges are a bit... weird, but not in a bad way."

"A little," he replies. He's still a little queasy from the events in Envy, but that doesn't completely offset the fact that he hasn't had anything proper to eat in eons. "I'm not good with heights, though."

He frowns. Something's definitely off about Changeling, and he has a nasty suspicion he knows at least part of what's causing it. "Maybe it's just me, but I don't think this is a really good place to rest," he notes, admitting mentally that it's definitely tempting to do so. ("Must be sloth," he thinks to himself.)
