Well, the storm isn't too difficult to get through, but I've lost count of how many baths this will be now.

Yeah. I can actually navigate it okay, but I don't know where he lives. The other problem would be that he might very well be out too.

...baths? Did you take a bath after going out each time? Hehehe. I wonder what you look like covered in sand. Do you turn into a golden wolf?

I think he's in one of the bigger apartments. I can't remember all to well which one.

If only. The sand makes my fur become matted and coarse and no one likes that.

I'll see if anyone else knows.

Really? I'll bet you still look cute though.

Tell me if you find out anything?

Probably, but sand in the fur is really irritating.

[He switches because it is unnecessary to discuss it publicly.]

He's gone.

If it's anything like how it feels when sand gets stuck in my hair, then I think I know what you mean.

I thought that might be the reason. Sorry.

Yes. That's exactly how it is.

It's fine. It was going to happen eventually, one way or another.

I did that to Roy once when we were out in the desert. Uh. Took a handful of sand and mushed it into his hair, hehehe. He got so mad. It was pretty funny though.

Yes, but he was your friend.

Hehe, sounds funny.

He still is, hehe. He's just gone home. He... He'll be fine. [He smiles though it cannot be seen.] Sometimes he'll do stupid things, but I believe in him. He'll manage. It was enough for me to be able to see him again after what I'd done anyway.

Oh, it was! Unfortunately, sand balls aren't really a thing unless you waste water though, so it wasn't as fun as it could have been... He got me back by slapping a handful of sand into my hair later though, hahaha! It was actually kind of worse 'cause the sand mixed in with the gel I used for my hair...

You may yet see him again here. You can't know... still, I'm sure he'll do fine.

Was it? What is gel?

While I know it's a possibility, I... I'm not sure I want to get my hopes up. I didn't deserve the chance to see him again, and yet I was blessed with that opportunity here. I shouldn't take it for granted.

Yeah! It got all goopy and was kind of hard to clean out... Oh, gel is that stuff I use to keep my hair back. You know how it holds back all the time? It's because I use gel. It's a type of sticky substance that people sometimes put in their hair to make it not go all over the place. The other day, when my hair kept falling down, it kept doing that because the rain had made the gel runny, and then I had wiped it off, so my hair wasn't sticking back anymore, hehe.

That's such a sad thing to say.

Oh, so that's what happened. People don't gel animal fur, right?

Sorry. I guess I still feel a bit guilty about things...

Yeah, hehehe. What did you think had happened?
As far as I know, no, they don't.

Why do you feel guilty?

I don't know. I thought your hair did that naturally somehow.
Oh good. I wouldn't like my fur slicked back like that.

I'm supposed to be dead. I wasn't meant to ever see him again because I messed up.

Oh. Hahaha! Really? I guess it might seem like that. Some people have thought that too, but my hair isn't magically gravity defying. The little bit that refuses to stay back does so because it'd much rather be in front of my face, hahaha!

...but it would be funny to do it some time. Probably. [Yes. Picturing Ammy with the fur on her hair sticking in an human hairstyle was kind of cute. At least for a few photos. Hughes chuckles.]

Messed up or not, that's no reason to punish yourself.

Oh, I get it.

Please, don't get any ideas.

Hehehe. I wish it was easy for me to forgive myself, but messing up ended up hurting everyone I cared about. Even if they don't hold it against me, I... I swore to protect them with my own hands, but now I can't anymore.

...hehehehehehehe. What ideas? [Too late, Ammy.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

I may have to walk the opposite direction of you for a while.

It happens. The only thing I can do now is make sure I don't mess up here, too, I guess.

Aw! How can you say that, Ammy! What about pets and hugs and scratches? You don't want them anymore?

Well, you have extra help and support here.

I do, but I don't want gel in my fur.

Heh. True enough.

Hey! It's not that bad... Besides, it'd only be a little! And then we can wash it out later! No big deal, see?

[Pause]

Fine, but only a little.

Heeheehee!! Yaaaay!

[If that sounded girlish...it was because it was.]

[She has to chuckle, but since she's texting, her end is silent]

How silly do you intend on making me look?
