When Terry woke, Kim had gone. Her things were still there, which suggested to the life trainee that she was simply out and about. Good. They weren't joined at the hip, nor did Terry begrudge having some time to himself to recover after that treacherous orientation. Twice now he'd been to the Sahara but he really, really would have preferred to never go back there again.
The weather as of late had not done anything to improve his mood either. He still felt tired and sluggish and all he really wanted to do was sleep in, chores be damned. But then he got Kim's message and at first he didn't think much about it. Until it occurred to him that the wildlife on this Island was less than friendly.
He prepared their (temporary) shared space for any destructive creature, but then she never sent another message. And it had been hours since he heard from her last. He grew worried and while Agata had been excited at the prospect of being absolutely drenched, Terry did not share his weapon's sentiments. The trainee was dressed head to toe in a raincoat and galoshes and had an umbrella for good measure before finally braving the outside in search of Kim.
Steal Message to KimWhere are you? Are you still with the cat? Is it a FEAR cat? If it is, please drown it. Our room cannot handle a FEAR creature.

Kim had put down the water cat, and rubbed her head a bit panting softly at the stress of having battled it down. Nope that one was far from a lovely pet to keep. She sank down to the ground and closed her eyes a moment, trusting that she was safe for at least a time. When the message came in from Terry she glanced at the phone and then burst out laughing. She started darting her fingers over the keys and sent a message to Terry again. Huni Pi Oh I had to kill that thing, did you see the picture though, it was awesome looking. It seems that it was not the cute purring type of cat. I am sitting not too far from the entrance, soaked to the skin but oh well.  She had snapped a second image before it melted away and it still looked cute. The first image of it attacking her was there as well, because, well... reasons. Had she known that Terry was worried she would be attached to him she would have laughed. She wasn't that bad. She waited for Terry to show up worried about how he was going to treat her.

Terry would eventually make his way to where Kim said she was, and while that meant he didn't really need to have dressed up to the nines in protective rain gear, he wasn't going to take them off until he was back in his dorm. Which means the sun was going to find Terry waddling towards her, the rubber of his galoshes squeaking with each step.

Kim heard the odd squeaking sound behind her and turned her head in a snapping motion before realizing who it was. Her lips quirked at the sight of the Life trainee dressed as though it was a major storm, and she headed toward him. "It's cool, nothing is out here right now." She looked down at his boots and grinned. "Hmm, not as stylin' as my own but they are functional, if you don't mind everything hearing you coming. What brought you out here Terry?" Pushing back her dripping hair she took a deep breath, waiting to see what he had to say. She was still bruised and blood was running from the corner of her mouth where she had moments before struck a rock after being thrown by the angry water cat.

Terry stared down at Kim from under all the rain gear before making a deep, deep, deep sigh. Agata just sounded delighted that Kim was far happier with water that her bonded and was encouraging him to do the same. Naturally he ignored his bonded and instead reached out for Kim's wrist and tried to lead her towards the communal showers.
"Take a hot shower, I'll be back with some fresh dry clothes for you. And a first aid kit." He spoke in his usual monotone, he'll address the cat thing later. Right now, there was the more important matter of tending to his girl's wounds.

Kim laughed softly and let Terry drag him inside before heading into the showers as he ordered. She grinned wildly and stripped with zero shame before stepping under the warm, (kind of cold feeling to her) water. She could see the steam so she knew it was supposed to be a good temperature though. Looking down to watch the blood run into the water and swirl down the drains she just sighed. She looked at the lovely bruises, cuts and scrapes all over her, before taking a closer look at the scar circling her ankle from the bugs she came across on her first mission out. Then the stings that were on her side from a certain giant scorpion. Finally small jags on her side from centipede legs. Yup she was showing marks from her adventures. When she was clean she stepped out bare as the day she was born to head back into their room, still showing no shame. She stood in front of Terry, glancing down a moment at some of the new scratches from the .. water cat. "Who would have known they had claws too."

Terry was waiting by the door, a set of Kim's clothes (complete with underwear) beneath the fluffy terrycloth bath towel. Hearing footsteps, Terry's brows furrowed as he turned and was given full view of the Sun hunter. He pressed his mouth into a tight, thin line, wordlessly handing the garments and towel to Kim. Already his blush was starting to spread across his face.

Kim looked at Terry standing with the clothing and towel in his hand and smiled at him brightly. She then took in the blush on his cheeks and giggled softly before darting forward to hug him while still bare and wet. "Aww, how sweet!" She would then try to nuzzle him to maximize the soaking she could provide. Only after this would she take the clothing offered and start dressing, not bothering to towel off. "Yeah so you were right the water kitty was not a good pet. It did a nice amount of clawing. Not cute at all when it came to that, though I guess it had a right, I was attacking it too." She shrugged and pointed to a few gashes that had made their way past her fear shield.. "Sharp for water really." This being before her lovely dance with the Kraken she wasn't aware yet of just the amount of damage water could do when put in such condenced forms.

There was a good deal of internal screaming happening in Terry's head. Less to do with Kim's state of undress and more of how Kim was getting him drenched. His teeth clenched tight in reaction, face already red but that was nothing new, he made no attempt to push her away either so the fault was as much on him.
"There are a lot of water-users that can be used as proof how dangerous water-things are." Terry wasn't in the mood to name them but he will if push came to shove. "Can we just dry off first?" it was a small miracle that he's managed to keep himself from whining in annoyance.

Kim gave a little laugh and nodded, slightly toweling off before finishing with the clothing. She then did what she always did and jumped on his back, wrapping her arms around him, dangling long wet hair against his shoulder. "Heh, sorry, just get a tad hyper." She gave a wicked grin over his shoulder at him before nipping his ear. "Heh, it was there..." After a bit of thinking she sighed. "Got to head back out before too long though, seems like there is a huge mess out there and they will need help if they want to clean it up. Maybe you should stay back in case others need help. I have a feeling things will get harder before they get better."

There was a squeak, like a mouse that had been discovered, on contact of Kim's teeth against his skin. Sure there was the FEAR shield protecting him but it was still felt, pain was not blocked just injuries prevented. So he had not been expecting that.
Luckily, he was facing forward, but the blush was still there and had reached his ears at this point. "That would be nice," he admits, wanting to just be allowed to settle down in his room to recover from the ******** Sahara. "But what kind of person would that make me if I don't do my job?"

Kim murmured softly. "You would be doing your job if you help the injured. If you feel you must go out there, just don't go after anything too big. We insane sun should be doing that." She sighed and closed her eyes. "Seriously Terry, I don't want you getting hurt over this." She was giggling inside at his yelp, but rather than continue she just rubbed his ear instead. "Mm, need to get a bit of a nap in, then I will head back out." She smiled a little as she closed her eyes resting on his shoulder. "Wake me... shortly, need to get back out there soon... then I can get back here sooner too..." She trusted Terry to return him to their room. Just a short nap. Terry felt so safe.

Terry was indeed trecking back to their shared dorm room. The bed was a little bit more cramped, it was certainly not built to comfortably accommodate two people, but he mused he could be sharing bed space with worse people than his cute (if not somewhat crazy) girlfriend.
"It's not the kind of job that I enjoy doing to be honest. Couldn't ever really get into those pimple popping videos, let alone dealing with injuries in real life." He wasn't necessarily squeamish but he wasn't sure he was qualified to treat other people's injuries. Glancing over his shoulder to stare at Kim's sleeping face, and knowing her recklessness, he was going to have to learn how and quick.
Because he was pretty sure he wouldn't be allowed to go by the way of yandere drama cds and literally chain Kim to the bed or something equally drastic.

Kim gently wrapped her arms around Terry as she rested, her head nuzzled against him. For her it was great to be in this bed, she liked snuggling and really so long as it wasn't too hot. She just murmured softly half asleep, and in a blissful state. Things were not going to be easy later for now though she was able to just stay here and relax. When she finally did wake, it was to pull on her jacket and get ready to go and face a giant squid... things were about to get long, lonely and hard. Terry was right though, Kim was bound to return with way too many injuries.
