Poor chillo.

Eventually it'll curl up under a bit of leftover bananish peel a few feet away.

"It's so cute and if it bites we have no way to hurry anybody up on getting us." She flops backward onto Lucien. "We're incredibly lucky you weren't hurt worse by your fall or the quills and I don't want to run more risks we can avoid." Om nom bananish. "Hopefully I'll be able to raise Alex sooner than later and get a status update."

"Yeah... It does look really really soft. But this isn't actually a good reason to risk it."

"Yeah, there's caterpillars that look really soft and will poison you if you touch them."

"That's definitely not the most unfair thing in nature but I'm still unhappy about it."

"I was real mad about it as a little kid."

"I didn't know about them but did cry about how wild animals don't have access to modern medicine."

"Aw." Pet pet.

Mmm, pets are great.

Soon enough the storm is upon them, the sky darkening and wind picking up. There's barely a drizzle of rain to accompany it.

She snuggles Lucien under the lean-to and adjusts the angle of the stick-and-peel-thing for the direction of the wind.

This gives them a great view of the forest below when a lightning bolt strikes out in the distance, a faint humming persisting for as long as it writhers in the air, conducting electricity from the storm into some unseen tree.

"Yikes. I'm so glad I have an eidetic memory and can review the objectively amazing visuals some other time when I'm not lowkey terrified."

"You'll have to show me when you get visual telepathy."

"Yeah, or psi-tech so I can put it on a computer."

Eventually the lightning hits a tree only a few dozen feet in front of them, the foot wide bolt of energy twisting in the air with a thrumming sound loud enough to hurt their ears as it illuminates their surroundings for several seconds. 

Isabella claps her hands over her ears and stares - into the future - is the tree going to explode like a eucalyptus or drop flaming debris on their shelter -

No exploding but it's going to be on fire real soon.

"Tree's gonna catch. Don't know yet if it'll spread, I'm keeping an eye on it." She munches bananish. "Do you have enough light to debone a fish for me?"

"Yes, ma'am." And deboning he can do that hurriedly. The lightning bolt finishes up before he's done but she can have the first half now and he'll finish up the rest under better light.

She eats fish. She sees the future.

The tree will collapse after burning for a bit, and Lucien is going to suggest that they can try to get some of the embers and start a campfire if the storm passes soon.

"- oh, good idea, pet, you may attempt to start a campfire with the burning tree if you're very careful."

"Oh I was going to say... oh that's neat." 

Lucien can get to work on that once the storm passes.

And meanwhile Isabella will discover that someone managed to sneak in and hide in the back of their lean-to during the storm.
