[ SWOMP! very funny because this is also where she met gojo. ]
The robes are pretty inconvenient, too.
[ the hem of hers is probably splattered with mud and grass stains by now... yuck. ]
Do you think we'll find our clothes somewhere around here?
...Not here, here.

... In the swamp? I hope not.
[ and then the swamp immediately starts to bubble and boxes appear ]

Would you be up for grabbing mine on your way?

[ she just agrees...
which makes him frown, following suit and wading into the swamp ]
I was just kidding.
[ he grabs his own box ]

[ but was he jujust kidding...
she raises a brow when he joins her. ]
...Okay then. [ JUST. OKAY THEN!
BUT WHATEVER SHE'S GONNA HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS REAL SOON. she wades back to shore, looking back to make sure he's okay, and then looks down at her legs.
which have swamp muck and leeches on them now. ]
—AA [ AAA the box in her hands also has leeches AAA ] AHH!!!
[ it takes all her power not to simply chuck it aside. she sets it down hastily and starts!!! GETTING LEECHES OFF OF HERSELF!! NO!!!!! ]

[ he's staring at his box for a second, entranced by the desire to feed it blood when aqua starts screaming.
he jerks his head back, ] What— oh shit.
[ WADDLES FASTLY OUT OF THE SWAMP!! ]
Calm down, it's okay. They're not that dangerous.
[ HELP!! he also has leeches on his ankles... they are food now ]

[ don't be a freak geto ]
—Sorry! I just.
[ ooohhhh she is making a face ooohhhh this is so gross. ]
I've never seen these before...!
[ her yelping is short-lived at least due to EMBARRASSMENT. but he can probably tell she's taking extreme mental damage with each leech she peels off her skin. ]
What are they?
—Sorry! I just.

[ they are super gross, she is incredibly valid ]
Leeches. [ he sets his box to the side ] Careful how you remove them, if you alarm them too much they can throw up into your wound.
[ he looks down at one on his ankle, pinching it right at the head and then tossing it off ]
Assuming they're similar to the ones on Earth, anyway.

...Great.
[ she looks even more visibly strained. she carefully watches and mimics how he removes the leech off his ankle, grimacing as she plucks off a couple more on her legs. ]
Earth? Is that the name of your world?
—Ah, I'm Aqua, by the way. Thank you for your help.
[ once she's de-leeched, she grabs a stick and starts sweeping off any black blobs clinging to her wooden box. ]

Yeah. [ nods at her ] No problem, I'm Geto.
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
[ she offers him a nod and a friendly smile, once the leeches have been dealt with. whew... ]
A place called the Land of Departure.
[ CLOSES EYES IN KH NAMES
anyway, unboxing time! ] —Oh, thank goodness.
[ her hands are still gross so she doesn't reach into the box, but she looks visibly relieved to see what's inside. ]

[ he just takes the name in stride even though it's obviously incredibly silly
and then stares straight into the box ]
Good news?

Good news?
[ she doesn't have anything to hide so she doesn't care if he looks. though it is kind of funny he just sticks his nose into her business. ]
My clothes, and my personal item.
[ he can see a star-shaped charm nestled on top of her garments. ]
Hopefully the same for you?
[ her turn to be nosy!!!! (but like, a very friendly sort of nosy.) looks directly at his box. ]

[ just stares at the charm like an accessory? cute...
anyway, he does not open his box, but she might hear something shuffling inside it. ]
Probably. [ and that's it! that's all he says about it. ] I wonder what this means, though.
Maybe the next thing out of the swamp will be a door out of here.

[ AQUAAAA
anyway, geto probably wanted to disassociate by the fire too, sitting next to her. he doesn't notice the words until he's already sitting, and then, reads them over before he realizes what he's doing. ]
Ah- my bad.
[ oops ]

[ looks at it ]
Ah. We just have to brave the leeches.

[ it's fine...!
she doesn't realize just yet what he's apologizing for, but catches on and shakes her head. ]
It's all right. They're just words, and it's not like you put them there.
[ she does place a hand over her arm, though. she's been doing that a lot today. ]
...I'd think kidnapping us as sacrifices would be enough trouble, but it seems they'll looking to toy with us, too. [ she frowns. ]

[ he hums, looking back at the fire. ]
Maybe it's part of the preparation. Make us as miserable and vulnerable as possible before harvest. [ gross ] ... What're you fighting?
[ words start to travel over his uniform as well, curling around his ribs to the front of his chest: CURSE USER ]

As awful as that sounds, that does make sense. If they need so much time to complete the ritual, then whatever is happening to us might be part of the process. Like layers of a spell, or ingredients of a potion.
[ she's quiet for a moment. ]
...Myself, you could say. I was trapped somewhere for a very long time. And it was beginning to have an effect on me.
[ she's very aware of the parallels to their current situation.
but nevermind her. she glimpses curiously at the words on his clothes. ]
'Curse user'...?
