Sand//Mau

IC: Dream Post

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

Re: The Beach

What are you apologizing for? There's no need for that.

I would rather be with you then have you deal with it alone.

Re: The Beach

After a minute his arms come up around you and he clings. It takes him a long time to cry himself out, jagged choking sobs trailing off into sniffs and hiccups.

To help. Though I don't know what to do. I do know that you're tired and need rest.

Re: The Beach

He nods and gets to his feet. It's a slow stumble along the beach to a sad makeshift shelter made of branches, and he more or less falls into it when you reach it.

It's pretty clear that he made it out of debris in about fifteen minutes while exhausted.

Re: The Beach

There is plenty of debris -- branches everywhere, though they're all sodden and coated in grey mud.

There is no dry wood anywhere, not even if you go into the forest.
