I'm not sure they know when they'll be back, Dia...

Why?! Are they going to be there past Valentine's Day, too?!

They're there as long as it takes to pass that examination Mr. Carlisle's sent them on, same as how he wanted us to help out with charting the pathways to them. You got the messages too, right?

Yes, well...
I thought there'd be an end date.
I can't believe we were left behind.

[ That's been eating her this whole time too. She frowns a little, and then responds, ]

If there is, I've not heard it! But if there is, everyone should tell us!

It's good to make them do a weekly check in though.

I am going to whether they like it or not.
We at least deserve to know if they're okay.

In the meantime, Natalia, are you helping out with the pathways?

I've been going out and trying to map things, of course! It's not like I have that much experience though

I see.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.
I'd like to help where I can.

Do you want to come along? I'm mostly winging it anyway?

But it is dangerous

[ . . . Oh right none of them know yet she had to get stitches. ]

Alright.
That'll be fine. I've got a kitchen knife with me as a weapon this time.
I learned the hard way the last time I went down in the subway tunnels.

You went down there, Dia? You didn't get injured, did you?

[ Prepared to use a kitchen knife she's not sure if she's impressed or horrified honestly. ]

I had a couple of scratches and bruises, but people were kind enough to help me.

You should tell me these things, Dia! I'm the oldest one still in the city!

[ And if Olivia of all people scolds her for this she's going to blow a gasket. She's not sure if Olivia would or... honestly, she's not 100% sure where Dia and her stand now but she does still gasp a little. ]

That was before I got the application!!!

[ olivia and dia's relationship is 100% fine, thankfully! but dia will back natalia up if lightning got on her case. ]

You fell into the subway tunnels before then...?

Okay good I thought you might've gone down to try to rescue the mayor and the others

I did, yes. Just for a little while.
I got caught by some vines.

And I do think they need to be saved.
It doesn't sit well with me, that they're stuck like that.

[ There's a part of Natalia that wonders if they do, but that part doesn't need be be broadcast here. ]

They do, of course they do! I'm not sure if that's the job out there for you and me though!

But okay, let's drive out to map things, we can go towards those fields in the west.

[ That's probably least dangerous, right? ]

Maybe not.
We'll see.

[ she's going to end up going in the tunnels anyway ]

Alright. Let me know when you'd like to go.

[ Gurl she's serious here... sigh. ]

Whenever? How about tomorrow afternoon?

Sure. Can I get a ride from school?
I don't think I can stay out too long. I have homework to do.

[ you have school on Saturday??? But no jk she laughs and, ]

And I've got to go to work at 6 or 7, we'll only be a few hours and I can pick you up from school, no problem. ♥
