Delfina got up quickly and went over to the pond and a wet Aron. She held out her hand to help him out.

Aron gasped in shock. The water was colder than he expected. He was quick to accept the outstretched hand, and with Delfina's help, he heaved himself out of the pond.
"Well, I was going to take a shower, but it's nice to have a bath, just -" Aron shivered in his drenched clothes. "-colder than I would like."

"But at least it wakes you up," said Delfina, "Anyway, I'd imagine that Ebony felt the same way when she got the hot and cold treatment earlier."

"At least she knew what was coming." Aron shrugged, "or at least the second time. I forgot that the commute showers are cold." Aron shivered again, and took off his shirt. Better to be bare chested than to be cold and wet.

Delfina just... stared for a bit, then shook herself. No. None of those thoughts. Not yet. She wouldn't be ready for a relationship for awhile, at least that's what her mind was telling her.
"They usually are cold," she said aloud, "I think that a bath or shower to us would be a carwash to Ebony and her kind."

Aron saw Delfina's reaction, but decided to play the oblivious one. "I'm going to take a shower, for real." He said, holding up his shirt against his chest. "We will meet again later, okay?"

"Sure, sure," Delfina nodded, "See you later."

Observers stared as Aron struggled out of the pond. Some could not stifle their amusement at his predicament. The fish scattered to the far end, darting about in shock and confusion.
The sounds of the quadwolves and their quarry came closer and closer. Doc and Mater backed inside the entrance to the canyon, positioning themselves to block off as much of it as possible. The humans had tied their horses tightly and hobbled them for good measure, as they didn't need loose, panicky horses to add to their problems.

Raine sighed heavily as she opened the door. "Oh. Hi Dawn. Umm... come in if you want. " She quickly turned off the music and let her in. "I could use someone to talk to anyway..."

Aron replied to one of the chuckling bystander by giving him a punch in the upper arm. "I got her blushing with this accident." He smirked, then headed to his room to get a change of clothes, then headed to the commute showers.

Jade readied her gun as she heard the quadwolves draw near. She was already tensed up from the danger.
~~~~~
Delfina, in the meantime, just sat there on the bench trying to compose herself. What was wrong with her? She touched her cheek with a hand and felt the warmth wafted off of it. She had been blushing. Geez, did she really do that? But she had been single all of her life. What could she possibly need a relationship for?
Her notebook lay open on her lap to the page where Aron drew his stick figure on a sailboat, unseen.

Dawn sidled in. "I know it's probably none of my business, but what were you talking about?"
Doc turned on his headlights, to see the glinting eyes of several four-wheeled creatures staring back at him from about two hundred yards off. Others were cornering what looked like a multi-wheeled vehicle, taking slashes at its flanks as it fought vainly to repulse them. Fluid flowed from several gashes in its sides.

Raine gave another heavy sigh as she sat on her bed and motioned for Dawn to sit with her. When she did Raine hesitated before finally asking her question. "...Have you ever felt... close to someone you've only just met?... Like that person felt like... somewhat of a parent to you?"
Raine shook her head sadly, closing her eyes for a minute. "That's how I feel about Doc... and I feel so foolish for thinking that... I wish..." She trailed off the sentence before sobbing uncontrollably. "I wish I could... connect with him... I wish he would open up to me, as much as I wish to open up to him... But every time I try to open up to someone I get pushed away... that's what made me such a b*tchy, cold and gruff person in the first place... because I didn't want to get hurt again..."

Alexis gulped as she heard the rukus of the quadwolves and spun the barrel of her revolver nervously.
(((But don't know what to do with Phoenix.)))
