[Her leg is hurt, which makes swimming a pain. But she does it, because she has to keep pushing herself. And because she can. She knows now that pain won't stop her. It does, however, cause her more or less to topple out of the lake and onto shore once she gets there. All she can do at first is lay back and breathe in breath after breath of fresh air.
Her lungs burn and her leg is throbbing, but none of that matters because they're both safe and they made it out in one piece. They're no more alive than they were before, but at least she got the answers she was looking for.]
At least now I know what happened. I don't have to spend the rest of my life wondering.
[But maybe it would've been better for her mentally to keep wondering, rather than see what she did. She sidesteps around that as she moves to sit up, positioning herself so he can come over and look at her leg. It's not in great shape after the tendril grabbing her, but at least it's not bad enough that it might kill her all over again.
The chill in the air might though, and her teeth chatter as she starts to work off her sweater. They really need to stop spending so much time in lakes. It's starting to become a bad habit.]
What's the verdict?
[It's not like they can go to a hospital. If it's that bad off, they'll just have to bandage it with whatever they can get their hands on.]
