( honestly she's impressed with the bag because of how well prepared her brother is. serenity has always held him in high regard so his valiant rescue and being so well put together just fuels the pride in him she constantly feels. )

You've been doing this all by yourself for six whole months?

( and her brother has somehow gotten even cooler. )

That's impressive, big brother! I'll follow your lead, but, it does sound nice to get somewhere warmer and have a bite to eat.

Sounds like a plan Serenity! We'll get camp set up right away den!

[Joey picks up his pack and beckons Serenity to come with him to the cave's entrance.]

It's prolly best if we set up shop eitha near or on da entrance. Dat way we got room ta spread out n' don't smoke da heck outta ourselves if we make a fire. Means we get'ta watch da rain too!

sorry for delay.

( easily going with her brother, serenity makes sure to watch her steps this time and heads along to the opened mouth of the cave. once he's stopped for a place to set up, she wonders what she can do to help. )

Actually, watching the rain sounds kind of fun... Big brother, is there anything I can do to help you get everything ready?

Re: No worries! Hope everything is ok! :)

[As they near the mouth of the cave Joey starts actively looking around for the best place to put down a tent. Having to work around the fact that this is still a roadway meant they couldn't just set up all over the place, but there was still plenty of room to put up a good camp without making a roadblock.]

Heck yeah! Watching da rain is gonna make da campfire extra cool too, so dat'll make da hot chocolate and da weinahs taste even bettah!

[Crouching down by his bag, Joey begins unlacing the half-dozen different tubes and bags that were affixed to its sides with the familiarity and speed of someone who's done this more than their fair share of times.]

Der'll be stuff ya can help out with for sure once I get a little further-in ta makin' camp, but for now I'm gonna pull out a blanket and I want ya to get yaself warm ok? Caves are cold'ta begin with, and adding a scary experience like dat on top of things ain't makin' it any bettah an experience.

[Fishing out rolled-up camping blanket Joey unfurls it wish a swoosh. It was made of that dark gray-green wool so much camping equipment seemed to be made of and had a slightly itchy feeling to it, but promised a wonderful warmth thanks to its thickness and weight.]

Dis oughta be just da ticket. It's even a little warm already from sittin' against me!

totes! just busy weekend and start of the week. :)

[oncewasblind]

( she can help but chuckle. ) Hot chocolate and food, too? Really? ( her brother is the coolest.

she's watching him get everything out and prepared for, just somewhat in awe of him. serenity has always been so very, very proud of her brother and often times acts as his biggest fan -- because she is. when he retrieves the blanket, serenity takes it as it's offered and wraps up in it. even with the itchiness, it's eagerly welcomed because of how cold she is after all that time in the rain. )

Thanks Joey, you really are the best big brother anyone could ever ask for.

[Joey just scratches at the back of his head awkwardly, always liking receiving praise from his little sister but never knowing how to process compliments in-general.]

It's da least I can do for da best little sistah in da whole world! You know I got ya back Serenity.

[He gives her a grin before pulling a Pokeball off his belt.]

We ain't even stahted yet doe'! Go Alligator Sword!

[Joey throws a Pokeball just outside the cave entrance and it erupts in a ball of light to reveal a large blue-green crocodilian creature.]

I need'ja ta find us some decent stuff for makin' a fire ok? It's all gonna be wet, a'course, but do da best ya can.

[He flashes the Pokemon a thumbs-up and it returns the gesture before lumbering-off. Joey then returns his attention to his tending to his sister and sorting through the myriad of equipment he has.]

Alligator's Sword loves da watah, so he won't mind da rain one bit. With a little luck he'll bring us some decent wood, and Red-Eyes can staht us a fire right aftah.

[Unlatching a camping kettle from the side of his pack, Joey produces a couple of packets of drink mix and tosses them to Serenity. Were she to inspect them she'd be able to see that they containted a couple of different blends of hot chocolate mixes. There's one for a minty blend, one for a smooth blend, and one for a classic blend, and all come with little marshmallows.]

I've only got da powder stuff I'm afraid. I tried bringin' da real good food along when I first stahted travelin' but I learned real-fast dat the fresh kinda stuff don't last too long, and dat eatin' food dat ain't in a good state is a real bad idea when ya livin' outdoors.

[Grimacing at the memory, Joey shakes his head and returns his attention to the tast at-hand.]

It's a lotta sealed n' dry foods now. Dey're not as tasty as da stuff you'd eat normally, but dey stay bettah a lot longah.
