Hollandaise had slipped her phone in her pocket, the way more than illuminated by the electric light. Aisha got a lantern, she a ring. It wasn't the stuff of poetry, but it was kind of fun. "Mmm, well, the forest is very, very old and very tall and very green. Here there are not enough plants - it's very sterile. But I'm not allowed to return until I complete my schooling and they determine I have improved." Her voice dipped on the last word, a vague undertainty clouding her face. But she smoothed it over with a smile.
"I'm glad your papa is happy. You should find your special someone! Ah, but there's no rush. Having friends is important, too." Hollandaise, while she didn't understand the feeling of being replaced, she empathisized the ghoul. Aisha didn't sound particularly happy about Jeff. Or rather, she didn't sound the happiest and Jeff and her dad. Relationships must be more complicated than fanciful poetry indicated, she mused. Her hand reached out and brushed against moss. Delighted, she pressed her palm against the green coolness.
"Is it just me, or is it getting... wetter?"

Hollandaise's eyes widened, her golden irises flicking back and forth between the various pools. Steam dampened the air around them, and torches flickered on the walls. Aisha's 'whoa' was echoed by Hollandaise. For roughly two seconds, she considered the towels. "I never knew this was here..."
There was a pause, then something whooshed past Aisha, moving much more quickly than anyone would expect of a tree (but that was how warders worked - lie in wait patiently, then strike quickly). There was a giant splash and Hollandaise's head popped out of the nearest pool. Bits of her clothing had trapped air, causing the fabric to billow up around her. Hollandaise resembled a strange floatation device. Smiling, she squeezed it out, beckoning to the other ghoul. "Aisha, this one is nicely temperate, come join me."
