"...Most of the time? You're insinuating that he will bite if he doesn't like me." Ink stood for a few seconds before climbing up onto the dinosaur's back, behind Junk. Nervous, he wrapped his arms around her to make sure that he wouldn't fall off.

As she urged Rigby forward into a trotting gait, she turned to Ink, smiling. 'He only bites you if he feels threatened. I've got a few scars from the time I tried to clean him,' she laughed, before directing her attention back to leading Rigby to her camp. ' A quick question, ' she began as the forest around her morphed back into one of pine trees and moss, 'Do you know how long you've been here for?'

"That really reassuring." He said sarcastically. Ink clung onto Junk as the dinosaur started to move from the beach and into the woods. He watched as they passed tree by tree, his mind wandering off when she asked her question. Even though his mind was someplace else his eyes still watched the passing trees, back and forth, looking at each one. "My watch doesn't work." His mouth answered for him, without him know what he was saying.

'Of course it doesn't, silly,' Junk said laughing as Rigby began to speed up until the trees became a blur on the side,'Timers don't really work here; They jump and skip and generally malfunction.' Turning back to look at Ink and was surprised to catch a bit of his eyes; she hadn't seen them before. 'In case you were curious, I've been here about five years' she said, answering her own question, 'Got stuck here when I was fifteen. I think I'd be around your age now'.

Ink glanced over at Junk his mind had snapped back and he had no idea what they had even been talking about. He caught her looking at his eyes. He was aware at how weird of a color they might be but he some how liked being different. "...Is there something wrong with my eyes?"
He went back to watching the trees go bluing by and could tell that they had sped up. "...I wasn't really curious... at least i don't think. Did i say something?"

Junk looked at Ink, her head tilted and brow furrowed. 'You didn't say anything, I don't think-except that your watch didn't work. And your eyes are brilliant; who has orange eyes? That's extremely cool.'
Rigby began to slow down gradually until they stopped in a grove of deciduous trees that were unidentifiable. They reached up into the air, so thick that they blocked out the sky- a few scattered beams of sunlight managed to grace the ground, but the glade was, for the most part, wreathed in shadows.
As she slid down off of Rigby, Junk let out a deep sigh. "We're here,' she said, turning back to look at Ink, 'Welcome to my home.'

"...I said that?" He was a bit confused at it, especially since he had no idea why he had even said that in the first place. When they slowed down and came to a stop in a clearing he watched as she got off the dinosaur then proceed to do the same.
Ink looked around the place then up at the tops of the trees. "...It's a beautiful home for something not made of bricks and concrete."

Feeling herself blush, Junk turned away from Ink again. 'Yeah. It's a nice place; I can't imagine life without it.' She began to shimmy up one tree that stood slightly out from the rest. 'This,' she began,'Is because the ground can be unsafe sometimes. I like to be up in the trees.' For the first time, this statement made her feel slightly embarrassed; like it mattered what Ink thought about her living in the trees. She shook the feeling off, though. It was probably the Bliss, messing with her brain.
'Are you coming?' she asked Ink as she was halfway up the tree, 'Because Rigby's going to be pretty hungry after a run like that.' Junk knew very well that Rigby could never intentionally hurt a person, but it was fun to bother people about it.

Ink stood there for a moment until Junk said something about the dinosaur. He then proceeded to follow her up the tree. "Crazy dinosaur... weird woman to go with it. Yeah i guess I'm coming."

Junk reached the level of branches where she had built her home. The trees' branches, being so thick and tightly woven, proved to be very strong and supportive. Sprawling around different trunks and several levels tall, the woodwork of the buildings blended in with their environment; if you didn't know it was there, you would never have noticed it. Besides Rigby, it was her proudest creation in the Bliss.
However, it brought back memories. Blissful memories, yes, but memories nonetheless. Looking at the massive structure, her vision was clouded with the images of other Wakers moving in and around the house.
Junk suppressed the feelings rising in her chest and turned to look down the trunk of the tree at Ink. 'Hurry up, you slowpoke. If you want to eat, I suggest you move slightly faster.'

Ink sighed, being only part of the way up the tree. When he reached the top he pulled himself up with a lot of effort and just laid there. He was out a breath and tired out now. "Sorry I'm so slow."

'Don't worry about it,' Junk sighed, 'It takes a while to get used to.' She glanced at Ink, Lying on the platform, and couldn't help but laugh at the situation; instantly feeling guilty about her actions. Lowering her head, she mumbled, 'Just come to the kitchen quickly, and I'll fix you something to eat before we turn in for the night. We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow.'

Ink go up onto his feet and followed after. "...Is there something wrong, you seem to have a bit of mood fluctuation, at least from what i can tell." He bit at the inside of his lip as he walked.

Junk climbed up a few steps, then entered the house. She was caught off guard, once again, by the miraculous beauty of the place; the roof of the entrance hall soaring high above their heads, occasional leaves breaking through the tight branches. The sound of her bare feet slapping the hard wooden floors echoed around her. She lowered her head as she passed a corridor jutting off to the right. She didn't want to acknowledge it.
After a minute of silent walking on her part, they reached the kitchen. The kitchen was different from the rest of the house; it could not be made out of wood, or it would burn down when someone tried to cook. Instead, it was made out of sod, packed with leaves to help it blend in with it's surroundings. The walls were covered in large oak cupboards and ringed with counter tops of the same wood. Beyond that, it contained an old-fashioned cast-iron oven, it's pipe leading out the roof, and a large stone fireplace with a spit.
Junk opened one of the cupboards, leaning into it as she rifled through it's contents. 'Is there anything specific that you'd like, or do you just want me to come up with something for you?' she asked, her voice slightly muffled due to the fact her face was in the wall. She hoped on the inside that Ink hadn't noticed her lack of response to his question.

As the two of them walked through the house Ink looked around in amazement. A house that was made out of nature, something that seemed a bit odd to him but it was astonishing none the less. He noticed as they walked past a corridor that Junk's mood seemed to change again. Though he couldn't be quiet certain if it was her or just him going in and out of recognition about what was around him.
In the kitchen he glanced around then over at her. "Um... I guess you can choose." He walked over to the cupboards she was leaning in and pulled it open a bit further looking in at her. "...Please tell me is everything fine, or is it just me and my problem that is making me think something is wrong?"
