But does eventually manage to cross it!

And then whiles away the day.

And worries.

And returns to the Pink Desert bridge and crosses it at what should hopefully be an hour before noon. (She's trying to arrive early so that if her estimate of when it is is off she hopefully won't miss Summer.)

She finds Eva waiting for her on the other side of it.

Eva looks annoyed.

"Hey," she calls out to Phee. Her tone is flat.

Eva!

And she's mad.

Phee is filled with the desire to run away.

Phee is filled with the urge to lay down and apologize.

For her mistakes.

For being a thought a thoughtless idiot.

For hurting Eva.

What she ends up doing instead is stuttering out a

"H-hi?"

"ShallIapologizeforeverythingnoworwouldyouratherIshutupanddisappearforeverorlistentowhatyouwanttosayfirstandthenstopbotheringannoyinghurtingyouvanishfromhereforever?"

[ " Shall I apologize for everything now or would you rather I shut up and disappear forever or listen to what you want to say first and then stop bothering annoying hurting you vanish from here forever?" ]

Eva sighs. 

"Slow down, I can't catch all that when you're going a mile a minute."

She crosses her arms. "To answer the question I think you're going to ask, I'm not going to just drop you, there's important survival info you need for this place if you're that... temptable. And I think we can still help each other. The person I'm really ticked at is Summer because she claimed to be my girlfriend and then completely ignored me when I was in the middle of some serious emotional shit to have sex with a girl she'd just met today. I know she's an Erokami and I can't hold her to the standards I'd hold a human but that really stung. We might break up over it, I haven't decided yet, I need to get some distance from the bullshit and think it through logically."

She rubs her forehead. "You I'm mostly disappointed in. I mean, I get it, free sex is really appealing and Summer was right there asking for it, but if you'd done that with a lot of other Erokami you'd be in a drugged haze right now being taken advantage of and maybe even in danger of dying of dehydration from fluid loss. Think, girl." 

She shakes her head. "Now come back to the stockroom, I've lost half a day's sales to my argument with Summer and I'm going to need you if we're going to make taxes."

just drop you, there's important survival info you need for this place if you're that... temptable.

Y-yay on Eva not dropping us, b-but

That does not at all seem like a sufficient reason to have to keep putting up with us for however long it takes to convey the info.

The person I'm really ticked at is Summer because she claimed to be my girlfriend and then completely ignored me when I was in the middle of some serious emotional shit to have sex with a girl she'd just met today.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Just add making her girlfriend ignore her while she was in emotional distress to go have sex to the long list of things we need to go apologize for.

She rubs her forehead. "but if you'd done that with a lot of other Erokami you'd be in a drugged haze right now being taken advantage of and maybe even in danger of dying of dehydration from fluid loss. Think, girl."

That really does not seem anywhere near as important as the risk of ruining what could've been friendship!!!

(Social Anxiety is too busy screaming in the background to notice and second what Conscience just said, well thought technically.)

We wouldn't have been at risk of dying from dehydration as I can literally create water.

well much risk at least, I'm less confident then i'd like to be that the rest of these idiots would listen if I told them to use the water power that makes water when they need water.
