"I'm fine." Lloyd claimed, heading for the place he slept last night, before wheeling around. He realized he was the only one strong enough to carry the 15-year old Genis. "Nothing a Lemon Gel Can't rub out." He added, as he softly lifted Genis off Noishe. Carrying Genis, Lloyd passed by Sheena. "I'll put him in with Raine." He informed. He looked sorta silly, carrying Genis like that, but he didn't mind. After placing him in bed, he felt the need to pinch his nose. He shook his head. "No, Not again." He reminded himself. Turning tot he professor, he smiled as he saw her sleeping already. Heading out, he blew out the lantern and met up with Sheena outside, looking a bit more alert now.

"Sheena-sama..." Ichigo whined with a yawn, tugging on his guardian's sleeve. She picked him up into her arms and played with his hair. "If they're in our room... where are we going to stay?"
"Well, if you want to go on this journey with my friends and I, you're going to have to sleep outside. Maybe tonight would be the perfect night for you to get used to camping." Sheena responded with a smile. She then turned to Lloyd. "What do you think? You know a good spot around here right?"

"Yeah, It's pretty well protected too. A Nice little cove underneathe an outcropping." He said, pointing back where Sheena had nearly decaptitated him while he bathed. "It's a nice spot, and watching the light reflecting off the water is cool." He nodded whistfully. "Shouldn't take more then five minutes to get there."

Sheena could feel Ichigo nodding off already. "Sounds good. Let's go, you look like you could use some rest... and maybe a bath... you look filthy."
Ichigo laughed tiredly at this, and smiled against Sheena's shoulder.

"I'm not that tired, really. Sence we'll be out of town, I'll stand watch for the night." Lloyd said. "And about the filthy part, I've been afraid to get in the water. Who knows when some crazy person might jump in on me swinging a sword around?" He asked.

Sheena's face grew angry, and she lived up to the pet name Zelos had given her. "I thought you were in trouble." She hissed, not wanting to shout and bother Ichigo. "Next time I won't come to your rescue. Would you like being dead better than having me see you naked?" She was so angry, she didn't even notice what she said.

"Uhhhhh...." Lloyd looked around wildly, unsure of what to say. "Sheena...?" He asked, trying to bring to light what she just said. He hoped that Ichigo had fallen asleep in her arms, because this was... something he really didn't have to hear.

Ichigo was indeed asleep, and it was a good thing too.
Sheena realized what she said, and blushed, but that didn't make her any less angry. "Lloyd Irving, You know what I meant, and don't you dare try and act like you don't." She said, still in an angry hiss. "I was just worried about you and you could show a little bit more appreciation. I swear to Martel, next time, don't expect any help from me!"

"Hey hey hey, I didn't mean it like that. I guess I'm just bad at telling jokes." He said, holding his arms up in defencce. This was a bad idea, as he quickly winced and his good arm shot up to cover his bad, as if that would magically help it. He turned around, mutually expecting Sheena to follow to the cove.

Sheena did follow, and calmed down quite a bit. When they got there, she took a look around. It was a nice spot. Quiet and peaceful. Safe. She thought to herself.
She found a nice place in the grass and put Ichigo down. It was a warm night, but she took off her jacket and put it over him, anyway. She was a little afraid of getting bit by mosqitos in only a tank top like this, but she'd rather Ichigo be warm.
"You can go wash up and all that..." She told Lloyd. "I won't walk in on you. I'm going to get a fire started...."

"Alright." Lloyd nodded. "I'll be a little while, considering I gotta wash my clothes too." He informed, before walking off. Sheena could see him strippin ghis shirt and stuff as he walked, but he turned around a small bend in the lakeside and disappeared from sight before she could see anything more then his back muscles. Lloyd put his clothes in the water and roamed them about, until grabbing a small rock and sliding it along his clothes. His Dwarven clothes were best washed this way, Dirk had told him.

Sheena gathered some pieces of wood and branches and aranged them in a neat pile, surrounded by a circle of rocks. For a moment, she thought of summoning Ifrit to help her, but she decided to do it the normal way.
She got some dead grass and took the flint out of her pocket and had the fire going in no time.
The fire was going, Ichigo was fast alseep, Lloyd was off bathing... everything seemed in order. She decided since Lloyd said he would be gone for a while, she would wash up quick.
She went to the river, staying close to camp in case something came, she would be able to get to Ichigo quickly. She stripped down and got into the water, letting down her hair and letting it flow in the water. She dove under for a moment, enjoying herself.

After Lloyd finished with his generally unkempt Hair, he wandered unto shore and hung his clothes up. He had a bit of time before his clothes dried, so he swam some exercises before once again returning to shore. He wrung his clothes out again and decided he'd head to a small hidden spot he found near thier encampment he found last night. Heading there, he slipped into a small area that overlooked the lake. If Lloyd was anybody else, he probably might have noticed, if he leaned forward, he could catch a glimpse of the river, but instead hung his legs off the outcropping and leaned back.
He started to count the stars.

Sheena came up from under water with a splash and gasped for air. She was a fairly good swimmer when underwater, but when above, she swam an unstable version of the doggy paddle.
She couldn't get properly clean, because she didn't have any soap, but she did rub out her hair in the river, in an attempt to get it clean. She hummed to herself as she did this.

A good time passed, and Lloyd got up and headed back to the clothes. Seeing them dry, he headed back for one last cleaning swim. After he was done, he shook himself like a dog, only on two legs. He stood for a few minutes enjoying the cool night air, and grabbed his clothes. After dressing himself in his underwear and pants, he left his coat off and just placed his simple white Tanktop on. His coat draped over his arm, he headed for the very top of the outcropping, above Ichigo by a good twenty feet, he stared at the nighttime Luin. Lloyd was in full view of Sheena, and thereby, he could check the rivier, but by this time, she should have finished already.
