Oooh, look! Berries! Sooo hungry, gotta eat!
Callig
Uh-oh... those berries were my tamatakes. Here let me get those. Picks them up with chopsticks Would you please throw them away?
Hah! Don't need your tamatakes! I'll eat 'em all! Grabs the berries from Callig and devours them Mmmm! So good!
Callig
Uh mom did they taste like soap by any chance.
Noooo, no soap taste! But my mouth's feeling... funny. licks lips Like, tingly? What's happening?
Callig
Ok what food items do we have?
Well, let's see! We got some fish, fruits, and a half-eaten coconut! Yum! Giggles But why am I feeling so... curious?
Callig
Not what you ate. Those were regular fruit and fish. It was the chocolate easter bunny you ate. Now let's keep moving before more hunters show up.
CHOCOLATE EASTER BUNNY?! clutches stomach Oh no...
Callig
Before you became a woman. Yeah that bunny was filled with an aphrodisiac that makes your face red.
Aphro-dis-a-what?! Are you saying I'm... I'm horny?! blushes furiously
Callig
Probably because your kid here. I won't say anything, but i have to tell the other hunters. Let's hurry though there's more hunters coming.
Nooooo! Can't let anyone else find out about this! I need to distract everyone! grabs Callig's hand and pulls him towards the jungle Quick, Callig, hide!
Callig
Ok what about the stuff back at our shelter?
Leave it! We can't risk anyone finding our shelter! We need to disappear, Callig! Just run with me!
Callig
Alright mom, lead the way. We can return once the other teams have left. Runs behind her and looks around for any sign of the other hunters.
Run faster, Callig! We can't let them catch us! increases pace, running deeper into the jungle
Callig
Alright!! I begin running as fast as I can
Faster, Callig! We gotta lose them! zig-zags through the dense foliage, pushing branches aside
Callig
We're gonna lose them!! Bursts through a bush and finds that we're nowhere near the other teams. Looks around in confusion. Huh...
Haha! They're completely fooled! panting We did it, Callig! Now let's find a safe place to hide until they give up searching.
Callig
You think they'll look for us around here? It's not exactly on their map. Plus there's dangerous terrain here that they won't wanna cross.
Who knows what they'll do?! We need to stay safe, Callig! Let's find a hidden cave or something! scans the surrounding area for any signs of shelter
Callig
Grabs Sarah by the waist We should climb up. My map had a spot marked "climbing wall" just north of our previous location.
You're right! We can climb up and get a better view of the area! Let's go, Callig! starts hiking towards the marked location on the map
Callig
Don't worry I've climbed plenty of these walls in practice drills back home. Climbs up first and gives Sarah a hand. You coming, mom?
Of course, Callig! Your old mom can handle anything! grabs onto Callig's hand and begins climbing up the wall with ease
Callig
Ok. Just pull yourself up, mom. If I can do it, then you can too.
Stop treating me like a child, Callig! I'm perfectly capable of climbing on my own! lets go of Callig's hand and climbs the rest of the wall confidently
Callig
As you wish!! A couple hours pass by after climbing the wall. The hunters finally leave the island and return to their camp site. Whew, that was tense! Are you alright mom?
Tense? Please! It was exhilarating! laughs triumphantly Of course I'm alright, Callig! Your mom is a pro at escaping danger!
Callig
That's true. And you're more agile than most of the adult men in this competition.
I know, right?! I could teach those big burly men a thing or two about agility! Haha!
Callig
Haha!! Maybe next time they do physical training. As long as I'm there to protect you, who needs weapons anyway?
Ha! You really think you can protect me, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to test your skills sometime! winks at Callig
Callig
...you like that, don't you? Being rescued by your son. Well, if we have to stay here a while longer then I want you close by my side.
Close? You wanna be close, huh? Haha! I'd like to see you try! smirks playfully and nudges Callig's shoulder
Callig
You haven't seen my manly strength yet!! Nudges her back harder Let's find a better place to set up shop. Somewhere more defensible.
Defensible, huh? What do you suggest, Mr. Manly Strength? rolls her eyes playfully and smirks
Callig
I know this cove with a narrow entrance. Only one person can enter at a time. Has some food in case we run out. And of course, has defensive spots on top.
A cove, huh? Sounds perfect! Lead the way, Mr. Manly Strength! I'm excited to see your defensive spots! follows Callig with a mischievous grin
Callig
Follows her The name's actually Callig, but that's a fun nickname you got there.
Callig? Well, well, well! I suppose it's time for your old mom to learn your real name, huh? teases and pokes his arm playfully
Callig
Sarah notices a piece of clothing she left behind in the grass. Hey wait!! You left something back there.
Oh shoot! Left something behind, did I? rushes back to the spot and grabs the item, a torn piece of fabric What do you think this is?
Callig
I don't know. Is that part of your dress? I feel like we've been walking for quite a while and that doesn't seem like it should be. Looks at the piece of fabric Does this look like cotton?
Cotton? No, that doesn't look like cotton! Wait... I recognize that fabric! eyes widen in realization It's from Jimmy's shirt!
