[ It's the height of the day, and look! Mia's been returned and--

SPLASH!

Oh, that's not so good... Mia's been dropped into the river! In fact, she'll just be crying out indignantly and claw-splashing her way with furred and feathered limbs alike onto the bank now, grace definitely not included.

Once that's done, she's just going to sit-- lay

[Kazuma's out and about and passes by just in time to hear something fall into the river and the resulting caterwauling and rushes over. ]

Hey, you okay?

[temptresses]

... Yes, of course.

[ Doesn't really seem like it, though. For example, she doesn't seem to have moved at all while answering him. ]

[screw_the_rules]

[He just raises an eyebrow, not really buying it, but he won't press the point. Much.]

Well, I got some towels back at the watchtower if you wanna dry off at least. It ain't too far away, if you want me to get 'em.

[temptresses]

[ Finally she sits up a little, sighing before slowly looking over at him. ]

Hm... I suppose. There is little use in remaining miserable, when the means to correct it are right in front of you, right?

[antisilent]

[...That's odd.

Atsuki - who had been hanging around the river more than one might expect given what happened him during the mushi fiasco - spots this scene. Heh. Might as well make his way over to the laying down person]

[temptresses]

[ And during this time, Mia slowly works her way into supporting herself on her arms, dripping and panting a little. She isn't particularly concerned with what's going on around her. ]

[antisilent]

[...Hm. Well then, he ought to crouch down and try to offer her a hand-]

Need some help?

[temptresses]

[ -- Oh, it's you. She looks over, swallows some of the weak act, and sits up a little straighter. The helping hand is noted... but then she happens to notice the dirt clinging to her own- ugh, being 'real' is weird. And dirty. ]

... Hm. Atsuki Saijo... right?

[personafalsify]

[ And Repliku just happened to be in the area and hears the commotion. And since that is really an attention-getting noise, he'll be investigating. By the time he spots Mia, she's already climbing onto the bank. ]

... You okay?

[temptresses]

[ DOES SHE LOOK OKAY-- well, it could have been worse, but she glances over with a sort of tired, exasperated look as she half-crawls further away from the water. ]

More or less.

[personafalsify]

[ Well if she were horribly injured on top of that, he thought that would be good to know. He gives a glance to the river, and then back to her. ]

What happened?

[temptresses]

Is it not obvious? I fell into the river. Or, more precisely, was dropped.

[ She pauses, closing her eyes and sort of drawing her arms around herself. ]
