The painful smack he felt when he met water was still a fresh memory in Reek's mind, but still, he wouldn't have changed his dumbly motivated actions even with perfect hindsight. They certainly made fun memories... and with so much happening to the maplewood, Reek clinged even harder to the memories of when he was happy; when it was just him and Saena huddled together, sopping wet in their waterfall cave with love blossoming new.

"Nah," chuckled Reek in response to his own question. "You're stuck with me until a more stupid decision takes me... Till death do we part, am I right?" He may have laughed, but a part of Reek was serious. He knew he was careless— that he made decisions with the breadth of pin... it was wonder he had survived for so long.
