"Oh no we will have to find things to do."

"Hence the phone."

"Mhm."

Tromp tromp tromp.

"If I move that boulder over thisaway it'd be a good place to pitch a tent I think? And defensible."

"You're the expert."

She is! And she can move the boulder, like so.

May gets underway on setting up the tent.

Lianelle has never done it this way but she is game to follow instructions.

May hasn't either but there's instructions.

And eventually there is a tent!

And an air mattress in it filling up and a sleeping bag on that and all the stuff they're going to want half-unpacked and arranged around inside the tent and the solar charger parked outside.

Yes! Lia can help with that too. Even if she feels like she could probably blow up the air mattress herself if she tried.

May got the skinny kind that expands when uncapped on its own.

"...Woah that's sort of magical."

"It's all good old physics but it's very cool."

"How's it work?"

"I don't know but the internet does." She looks it up and hands over the phone.

"Oh, it's foam! That's cool and not what I would have guessed."

"What would you have guessed?"

"Maybe something growing inside of it? Like a special plant."

"What a charmingly sci-fi idea. Or fantasy, I guess."

"It seems more realistic than foam to me! But maybe this is because I never knew people could make useful foam."

"Did people use to make useless foam?"

"Sometimes in drinks? I guess that was neat but not really useful."
