Amnesia accepted the bottle with thinly veiled curiosity, almost dropping it as soon as her fingers wrapped around it. She hadn't expected it to be cold! And what was it? She peered at it, but other than looking clear and feeling as if it had something in it, the only other thing she saw was a strip of drawings. She looked back to James, who had his tipped towards his mouth, and when it righted, looked as if it had been somewhat emptied. In an attempt to mimic his actions, she carefully tilted the bottle in her hand as a sort of test and when nothing happened, tilted it further, but even entirely upside down, it all stayed within its container.
She frowned at it but was distracted from her endeavors as James began to speak again, wrinkling her nose as he tried to say that his home was more comfortable than the forest. It was closed off and pressed in... she didn't see how anyone managed to sleep in a place like this, even if it did have a comfortable log.
"Flashing?" She looked down at herself, searching for some sign of light or anything else that might create a flash, but there was nothing out of the ordinary that she could discern. "How would I do that? And what does it have to do with the shirt?" She picked at the cloth that covered her then, now searching it for something out of place.
Before she could say anything further, Amaryllis spoke up. "You're half naked. Half naked girls get attacked, raped, murdered, or some combination of the three, and in case you don't know, none of its good, especially the last two. We aren't getting killed just because you're some weirdo that likes sleeping in trees, so you're going to stay here. Got it? And tell him I said to stop being a pussy and explain flashing if he's going to bring it up every two minutes. Fuck. Almost makes me wish I'd just put on the boxers."
Amnesia's shoulders tensed as the voice inside her head spoke and she carefully relayed the message to James, questioning whether she was being told the truth on the first part and limiting herself to explaining the voice's request for the second part.
