"There you go," she says, talking carefully as she rubs at his shoulder. "You're gonna be okay. We're gonna make it."

Anything she can do to support Donnie, she will. If only she could do more than this.

[thepurpleone]

Donnie tries not to breathe in too quickly, as much as reflex tries to prompt him to. But the last thing he needs to do is waste it by coughing it all out again.

"Thanks," he says quietly, his head feeling a bit better. It's inevitable that it's temporary, but they just need to be smart about things. He nods. They can make it. But it's still not going to be fun.

[work_wife]

Robin rubs his shoulder just a bit longer before lowering her own breathing unit and nodding to him.

"Come on. Let's keep going. Don't want to get left behind. I'm not a very big survivor girl, even if this isn't the first apocalyptic landscape I've been in."

[thepurpleone]

While he's usually uncomfortable about such contact, he's glad to have someone there looking out for him. He really should have been better about it, monitoring his own responses to the environment, but his mind's been all over the place ever since he'd left the ship.

"Right," Donnie says, drawing himself up as he looks ahead. He nods for Robin to start, but he'll do his best to walk right along with her.

[work_wife]

She takes a relatively deep breath, nods, and starts walking forward.

"Look at it this way. At least we don't have to fight hell bats, yanno? This could actually be worse."

[thepurpleone]

"I guess? Fighting anything under these conditions would kind of suck though." He's already feeling it just from walking.

Maybe it's better to just focus on getting to where they need to. Which does take some doing when you're prone to feeling lightheaded, but simultaneously it's what's keeping him from getting too distracted by the local plantlife, which he'd normally love to study if he had the time to spare for it. But he'd already been at risk of getting left behind as it was.

"Hope we're still going in the right direction," Donnie can't help but wonder aloud, except that the last of his words are swallowed by the sudden rumbling of thunder in the near distance. His eyes flick upwards towards the dark skies.

[work_wife]

"Really wish I could say for sure. But hey," she looks back at the prints they are leaving in the soil, "looks like maybe we can be sure of the general line? Even if we're shit at this. Wish I knew how to make a compass. But then again I don't know which direction we're going."

Oh dear, thunder. Robin yelps. She didn't want that.

"It's not gonna be like on Agra-10," she reminds him. "We'll be fine."

[thepurpleone]

"Not sure how useful a compass might be with this atmosphere," Donnie says. "I've been trying to do some regular scans to see if they pick anything up ahead, though. Should've brought something to use as better markers..."

Should have done a lot of things but he just hadn't considered them outright crashing on their first extraplanetary trip. But you should've been prepared for an emergency at least! He sighs, annoyed at himself, annoyed that he's been annoyed, but after talking with Tony he hasn't been in the greatest of moods, and coming down here had been as much an escape as it was a hopeful prospect of exploring a new planet.

He winces as he moves his neck too abruptly, trying to be more careful as he tracks the clouds.

"Y-yeah," he says. Stupid storms. "Need to keep moving." He's not sure if they'll find any shelter but standing around won't help.

[work_wife]

"I hate my clothes getting wet, you know?"

She's trying to stay positive for him. Which is totally not her normal thing. She normally just gives people sass and annoyance. But clearly Donnie needs it.

God, she's turning into Steve, isn't she?

"Maybe we can try and get the group to move a little faster. Though I'm wishing we stole that Gladio dude's tent."

[thepurpleone]

"Wet clothes is pretty gross-feeling," Donnie says. One of the upsides of not wearing much, but he supposes not everyone has that option. He barely manages to catch himself from trying to look up again, anticipating raindrops that haven't yet fallen.

"Can't move too fast with how things are, but we probably should try to pick up the pace some. Not sure how much progress we made." They've gone far enough that the shuttle's not visible behind them, anyway.

"I'd make us a vehicle or something but I'm not sure how long I can hold it."
