So there really isn't anything for me to say so let's get started!

~Sketch

When I met Roseanna McGuire, I thought she was older than me. Turns out, she was the same age. Lanika led me to a tent with "Roseanna M." scrawled on the side in sharpie. She told me, "She's in there. But I warn you, don't get her mad."

So I duck into the tent and Roseanna, a girl with freckles and light brown hair asks me, "Who sent you?"

"No one," I say. Why didn't Lanika come in with me? "Listen, all I want is a decent meal and a decent night's sleep. Tomorrow I'll leave. The only other thing I need is a healer for this nasty blaster bite." I pull my shirt up and look at the wound for the first time since meeting Mist and Inka. It's gotten worse, a bloodred cut-like spot covering most of my stomach. There is a greenish tinge around the edges of it. "It's infected."

"I can tell," she says. "I'll get Ridge to heal it for you, then you hold up your end of the deal." 

"Lanika told me that Ridge already doesn't like me. She came up to me with him and he left after 5 minutes of silence." I can tell my face is getting red. "I shouldn't have acted like that. I was angry, cranky, and in pain." I look at the ground. I feel guilty.

" But you're still in pain, right? You're acting radically different from how you were earlier."

" I have mood swings. You can tell by my left eye. It changes color and shape depending on my mood."
