Put your sleeve over your hand and keep the pressure on it. The bleeding will stop on its own.

What can you see from your tree?

[lilyground]

[OH THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. Lily does that. Ow, that stings. Why does everyone tell her to put pressure on it? Won't that make it worse? Normal people are weird.]

Um... Other trees.

[bellator_lucis]

Can you see the temple?

[Please don't tell him you've gone too far into the jungle to be easily found.]

[lilyground]

N-no, I can only see other trees.

[Sorry!]

[bellator_lucis]

[Light, give him strength.]

[Let's at least establish a direction to look in, if they can.]

[lilyground]

I ran past the pods, I think.

... I should have gone to my pod.

[A++++++++]

[bellator_lucis]

[Well, that narrows it down somewhat, at least.]

[lilyground]

Oh. So. Tree was a better idea.

[Fuck yeah.]
