"This and that," Sandra said with a shrug. This wasn't something she felt exactly comfortable talking with him about. She didn't want him to get the wrong idea.

"You'll feel better if you talk about it," Shiki said.

"I was just making sure I had the lay out of that bush down, that's all," Sandra lied, lightly. Then she straightened a little. "Why don't we go do that now?"  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"...You're lying Sandra," Shiki said.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"No, I'm not," Sandra said, a little more convincingly. She had been thinking about that before, so she wasn't exactly lying. "Look, your wound is still bleeding, so let's get some more sap in you before it's all gone."

Shiki looked down dejectedly, "Alright..." He said and stood up.
Len finished her fish and disappeared in Sandra's mind for the time being.

Sandra stood up with him. "Let's go deeper into the woods," she said and started to walk.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Shiki followed silently, deep within his own thoughts.

Sandra stopped when the town was out of view. "Okay, this should be good," she said, turning to him. "Why don't you take your jacket off, so it doesn't get cut or anything?"  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Uh...Yeah," Shiki said and pulled his jacket off. He placed it on the ground.

Sandra reached into her bag and pulled out one of her seeds. She planted it in the ground by Shiki's feet and then stood up and stepped back. "Ready?" she asked.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I'm about as ready as I think I can be," Shiki said nervously.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Do you think that you can hold still while I work or should I grow something to hold you in place?" Sandra asked, getting her magic ready.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I think I can keep myself still," Shiki said.

(back in about an hour)

"Okay, here we go," Sandra said and then the bush began to grow quickly. She positioned it so it could stab its thorns into the proper places.
