[Fortunately, Jubilee is one of the lucky ones that ends up closer to the shore. As she steps up onto the sand, her sneaker immediately sinks, followed soon after by the other, making her heave a sigh. Okay, maybe it sounds a little overdramatic, but none of this is at all what she'd had planned for the day. It's not the mall with her friends, hanging at the movies or slugging down slush puppies and eating chili fries until they're to the point of bursting.
And she's not happy about it.]
Ugh, [she expels with disgust, peeling off her soaked yellow jacket, holding it aloft with one hand while she tugs at her equally wet shirt. Then, once she takes a moment to look around, it dawns on her,] Okay, definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
[Or New York, for that matter. After wringing as much water out as possible, the pyrotech drapes the coat over her arm, shakes some of the sand off her shoes and treads forward, hoping that no one's been caught on fire.
Hey, at least she didn't have anything to do with these flames. For once.]
✳ let it wash away my sanity
[Beneath the cover of her coat, she spares a glance up at the steady downfall of rain, wrinkling her nose and blinking rapidly when some of the water catches on her eyelashes. One hand raises to wipe away the drops, fingertips flicking them away, then she turns her attention to the stag at her side.]
How much longer do you think we'll be walking?
["I don't know, but if I have to hear you complain about your hair getting messed up again ..."] Look, it's super important. ["No, it isn't."] Maybe not now, but what happens if I meet someone? I'll be looking a hot mess and that's not a good first impression.
[The buck gives her a look, which she simply smiles at. He shakes his head and she leans, nudging him affectionately with her shoulder.] I'm only kidding, [teases the mutant, amusement clear in her voice.] Besides, I know that even with my disheveled self, I'd still be able to reel 'em in.
[He noses across the top of her head, slicking down the damp ebony strands there. "At least your confidence hasn't taken a harsh blow."] And what's that supposed to mean? ["Humbleness wouldn't suit you."]
Heeey! [A chuff as he withdraws. She pouts, gives him a light push then slumps against his side, continuing on toward their destination.]
