*Morgan and Lokay watched intently as Jake endured the cleaning of his wound with grunts, winces, and the occasional hiss. She frowned; she knew what that felt like, and she never liked being in that position. But the situation suddenly changed altogether when Jake's eyes widened then shut and he turned away, apologizing for looking. Morgan glanced where his eyes just were, then, upon the realization, she burst out in giggles and even fell on her back, arms folded across her chest and legs kicking in the air. Even in pain, Jake did the silliest things. Oh wait, he was in pain. She should probably be more concerned. She sat up, looking apologetic at Jake—despite his eyes being closed—but unable to shake the grin; he was so silly, and she loved him for that. And that made her hope even more dearly he would be fine.*

Terra smiled and continued her work, though her face started turning a little red when she saw where he had been looking, and with so much going on with the ripper attack and Jake being hurt, she had forgotten her nudity entirely. Well someone was bound to remember it eventually, but she still needed to tend to his wounds so she decided to let it slide this time. At least he had closed his eyes right away."It's fine...h-hang on I'm almost done with your cuts..."The wounds were clean now, so she got started with putting the bandages on them, and after a minute or two, she had successfully treated the gashes. She smiled at Jake."All done! You should be just fine now, Jake."Terra put the rest of the unused bandages and salves into the medkit, which she then stowed back into Jake's pack. She noticed Morgan's giggling earlier at Jake catching a view of Terra's chest, but she brushed it aside, though her face was still a little red.

*Jake smiled sheepishly as Terra seemed to shrug off his accidental stare. He knew Morgan might chide him for it though— And there was the laughing, of course. He opened one eye—the one facing away from Terra—and frowned at her, but she was sitting up and giving him an apologetic look. Though still grinning. He gave her a goofy smile then closed his eye again just in case as he waited for Terra to finish cleaning his cuts, then bandaging up the wound. It was a typical gauze bandage, so it was wrapped around his chest, but it would suffice for now. He opened his eyes to inspect the bandage, felt it with his hands gently, then smiled up at Terra.*
Thanks!
*He got to his feet slowly. His chest still stung a big, but he was in nowhere near as much pain as he was before. That was a close call. He looked down at his chest again, feeling his bandage with his palm. That would be fine, they wouldn't have to cancel the trip early. So long as his pain didn't get worse. He smiled up at Terra then quickly looked away again. This was all so awkward and strange, but... heck with it. She'd probably seen enough of him anyway, especially now considering the last several minutes he'd not been making an effort to keep himself covered up. Of course, he wouldn't try to look at Terra if she still cared, but he wasn't going to bother covering up in front of her anymore.
... unless she minded, that was.*
I... I guess we should dry off and move on then. Um... T-Terra? Do... do you mind if I... if I just... keep... keep my clothes off?
*He blushed profusely, not realizing just how embarrassing the question would be to him. He could take it back and put on his trunks or something, but... he needed to go through with this. Would that mean Morgan won? Well, if it did, it was a victory he would be okay with handing her. He hoped, anyway...*

*When Jake opened his eye to frown at her then smile, Morgan grinned back, glad he seemed to be okay with her fit of laughter. She waited, watching as Terra applied the bandages and announced she was done and that Jake would be fine. Jake then examined his bandaged, thanked Terra, then stood up to inspect it some more. Morgan smiled, glad he was alright, and stood, watching as he looked down at the bandage and again gently inspected it. She wanted to hug him, and she almost did, but he was speaking now, suggesting they dry off. Morgan supposed that they ought to get going after all, to see more new areas of the jungle. And even though they'd managed to get somewhat used to it, the water had still been cold. Yeah, it was probably better if they got out in the sun; she even shivered a little at the thought—
Did Jake just ask what Morgan thought he asked? She bared her teeth in a surprised grin, bringing her hands to her mouth and fighting back giggles. Wow, that was a breakthrough, if Jake was really going to go through with that. Of course, it apparently hinged on Terra's answer, and now Morgan wondered: Would Terra keep her own clothes off as well, or dress again? Even if she didn't, one breakthrough would be good enough. Morgan kept her grin hidden behind her hands, watching Terra expectantly, waiting for her answer along with Jake...*

Terra smiled back at Jake when he thanked her for helping him, glad that he didn't appear to be any worse for the wear."You're welcome Jake."She was a bit taken aback when Jake asked if she would mind if he left his clothes off, having expected him to cover up after how shy and embarrassed he had been acting earlier. Maybe he had adjusted to being naked in front of her at last, and judging by Morgan's reaction, this would surely be a victory for her as well. Then again, Jake was Morgan's brother and perhaps a bit of her had rubbed off on him, including the habit of walking around in the nude. But as for his question, she didn't really mind if he kept his clothes off. As long as he was comfortable with it...
She smiled at him reassuringly."I don't mind, Jake."She giggled nervously, figuring she may as well ask him the same thing. If it was all right with him, she wouldn't mind leaving her clothes off either."Um...you don't mind if I stay naked, do you?"

*Jake was taking care not to look directly at Terra, so he didn't notice that his question somewhat took her aback. But then she said she didn't mind, and even laughed—though Jake could hear the nervousness in it—causing him to look up at her face wide-eyed, a bit surprised and relieved at the answer. He smiled back, but then his eyes widened when she asked him the same question. Did he mind? His eyes, seemingly of their own volition, looked her up and down before he forcibly made them focus on Terra's eyes again, and he grinned nervously.*
Um... sure! I mean, no, I don't mind! It's, it's okay with me!
*He turned at the waist to look at his sister...*
Right, Morgan?
*... then wondered why he had and grimaced. The answer was obvious, so why had he even asked?*
Er, I guess that's a stupid question...
*He chuckled nervously then looked back up at Terra.*
Y-yeah, it's fine, b-but I won't look at you if you don't want me to, but i-it's okay if you look at m— N-no! That's not what I mean!
*He slammed his eyes shut and pounded on his temples with the heels of his palms, grunting each time. He then turned away, toward his gear, and waved it off.*
Just forget about it...
*He crouched down to gather up the medkit, make sure everything was in its rightful place, then put it back in his bag. He did the same with his clothes, then lifted up the bag in one arm, looking around at Morgan and Terra, waiting for them to be ready to move on.*

*Morgan had to resist pumping her fist triumphantly when Terra obliged Jake's request, but when Terra asked the same question, she stared blankly and in awe. And when Jake obliged her request, Morgan was unable to resist a restrained squeal and a small fist-pump, accompanied by a half-hissed exclamation.*
Yes!
*... which ended up answering Jake's question inadvertently, though he admitted asking if it was okay with Morgan was a stupid question. She giggled, then watched as Jake stumbled over his words spectacularly. She stared blankly for a moment, then burst out laughing in a fit of high-pitched giggles. Jake, however, was only focusing on gathering up his things, so Morgan managed to contain her laughter and catch her breath, then go to her own things. Normally she liked wearing her dress, but if everyone else was naked, why should she redress? She needed to dry first anyway. She put her dress in her bag, slung it, her bow, and quiver around her shoulder, had Lokay climb onto er shoulders, then, when the others were ready, she smiled and started to head toward the exit.*
Well, let's go dry off in the sun, then let's go find out what else we can see!
*She grinned, then turned and headed toward the exit along with Rush. When they were out in the sun again, she found an open area, dropped her gear again, then laid out in the sun. It was warm and soothing, especially after swimming in the cold water in the cave. She let out a relaxed sigh, thoughts drifting to what other amazing things they could find in the jungle today...*

Terra couldn't help but giggle a little as Jake stammered some more, and she shrugged when he said to just forget about it and went to get her stuff. Her clothes were already stuffed in her bag, so she picked it up and slung it over her shoulder. In truth, she was glad that Jake didn't mind if she remained naked, as she had grown to enjoy walking through the jungle without clothes. Of course if she actually admitted that, Morgan might explode from triumph.
Still smiling, but shivering a little from the cold water since she was still wet, she followed Morgan and Jake out of the cave, sighing happily when she felt the sun's rays on her skin and dropped her bag next to Morgan's when they reached an open spot. She laid down next to Morgan and closed her eyes."Ah...that's nice..."

*Jake followed Morgan out into the open air and sun, still trying to get used to this whole "being naked in front of a total stranger that was an older girl who also happened to be naked" thing. Oh he knew what Morgan tell him, that it wasn't a big deal, that the human body was natural and all that, but it just wasn't that easy for him. He was getting used to it... slowly but surely. Yeah, he had to admit, Morgan was right and the body was a natural thing, but it wasn't that easy for Jake to get used to it, particularly when he'd been taught modesty for most of his life.
As they found a place in the sun to lay down and dry under the sun's rays, Jake was the last to lay down. He nearly did so beside Terra, starting to crouch down before stopping, hesitating, then swallowing his inhibitions and just laid down beside her. It wasn't like they were touching or anything, but he was still trying to get over these silly little feelings of his. He then relaxed under the sunlight. It felt quite nice on his skin, though his bandage was a bit of a problem. His chest felt mostly better now, but knew it would be some time before he didn't feel any pain at all. It wasn't bad pain though, he could live with it for a little while. He was just glad the injury hadn't cost them the rest of the trip...*

*As the three of them laid underneath the sun, Rush decided to return to the jungle to scout, whereas Lokay took the time to hunt down some bugs out of the air. Discreetly, of course; he didn't want Morgan to get mad at him for eating the "pretty bugs," after all. Morgan looked over at Terra and her brother every now and then, just to see how they were doing with their current "situation," though both of them seemed to be easing into it quite well. She grinned, proud of them both.
But Jake's bandaged chest... She was still glad he was okay and hadn't gotten seriously injured. He didn't have to run into the ripper! He could've used the Force on it! But maybe he didn't have time... Still, he could've grabbed its tail or something! No... that might not have worked, and she reminded herself that she would've done the same thing for him if he was in the same position she had been in. She frowned concernedly, then just looked up to the sky again. No use worrying about it anymore. When they were back at the base, he could have it looked at again and it would heal just fine.
Meanwhile, maybe some conversation might help put them at further ease.*
So what else do you think we're gonna find?

Terra had been wondering where they would go next and what they might find if they kept going. She had been a little concerned about Jake, but he seemed to be all right and not in pain, as least as far as she could tell. As long as he was all right they could keep going if they wanted to. Wherever they went next, she hope it was less dangerous than that cave they had just come out of.
She sighed softly, her eyes still closed."I don't know...I guess we'll find out though, right?"

*As they laid out in the sun, Morgan asked what else they thought they would find on their journey. Terra seemed to shrug it off and suppose they would find out when they got there. Jake, honestly, was having a hard time speculating on what they could find himself. There were trees, large fungi, mountains, and water on this planet. He wasn't sure how to mix those into something spectacular that they hadn't already seen, and really, the world was quite fantastic enough.
He folded his hands behind his head as he watched the wisps of clouds drift by. Briefly, he wondered if the bandage around his chest would interfere with his tan, then he chuckled to himself. He and Morgan both had pretty good tans... for obvious reasons. He didn't think his would be ruined just by being in a little bit of sun with a bandage on.
He smiled and looked over toward Morgan, but saw Terra instead and looked back up at the sky. It wasn't that he was afraid of looking at Terra, it was just that, well, he still felt it was rude if he had. But... but why? They had both relented and gotten permission from the other not to get dressed, so it wasn't like he was forbidden to look at her or anything. Was it because he was a boy and Terra wasn't related to him, unlike Morgan? Or was it because she was... "grown up"? ... and not related to him?
No matter. Jake would try not to think about it and simply relax in the sun for a bit, until they were ready to move on. Oh, he'd totally forgotten to say anything to Morgan; even though Terra had said his same thoughts, she probably would have been expecting both of them to answer as well, so he quickly spoke up.*
Oh, yeah, what Terra said!

*Neither of them seemed to have any idea of what they'd find next, Terra proposing they'd know they saw it and Jake agreeing, though after a delayed moment. She lifted her head to look across Terra toward Jake, who was still staring up at the sky, wondering what he was distracted about, but the faint traces of nervousness on his expression gave it away and she grinned before laying back down on the ground again, where she shrugged and rested her palms on her chest as she continued to stare up at the sky.*
I guess you're right.
*She let the time pass a little under the warmth of the sun, even after the water from the underground lake had been dried off, the sun was just so relaxing. Then, finally, after a little while, she sat up, looking at her two companions.*
Alright, let's keep going! Let's go see what else we can see!
*She got to her feet and moved to her things, crouching beside them. She first located her lightsaber and clipped that to the outside of her bag, just in case, then slung the bag over her shoulders. She then placed her bow and quiver across her back as well, coaxed Lokay back up to her shoulder, then stood. She paused for a moment as a thought came to her, then, with a mischievous grin, she pulled her bow from her back, nocked an arrow, aimed it into the forest, and pulled back the string just enough to look convincing before looking at Terra and her brother.*
Look at me! I'm a naked hunter!
*She giggled and loosened the string, bending over with laughter before returning the bow and arrow to their rightful positions. Well, the river was still beside them, so they might as well keep traveling it and see where it led them from there.*
Well, let's go! We can keep following the river and see what else we can see!
*And with that, as soon as all three of them were ready, she set off. The river had already led them to one spectacular location, and Morgan hoped it would lead to another, or even many more. Today was a day for adventure, and it had started off amazingly. Well, other than that attack, but hopefully future attacks wouldn't be as troublesome or cause any injuries like it had to Jake. But Jake seemed fine and eager to continue, or else she might have cut the trip short for his sake, so they would press on, and see what else they could see!*

Terra was quiet as she lay down under the sun, even after the water from the underground lake had dried up. She loved the way the sun felt against her skin and she was very glad to be able to just lay down and relax like this. Her nudity was long forgotten as she happily lay under the sun..
But the day was still relatively young and Morgan was soon urging them on to see what else they could find, and she sat up slowly and stretched. Slowly, she climbed to her feet and picked up her bag, slinging it over her shoulders and smiled, ready to resume their exploration of the jungle. Of course, Morgan suddenly did an impression of a naked hunter and she couldn't help but laugh, wondering if Morgan could really be any other kind of hunter."You're always naked out here, Morgan."She giggled some more, knowing that Morgan wasn't always naked in the jungle."Well...OK most of the time."
Still giggling, she looked over at Jake to make sure he was ready, taking care to make it a brief glance in case she embarrassed him. He seemed good to go so she adjusted her bag on her shoulder and started to follow Morgan down the river.

*Jake continued to relax underneath the sun, so much so that he didn't realize he was nearly falling asleep until Morgan announced it was time to go, which caused him to jolt slightly as he opened his eyes. Well, that was a little bit embarrassing; he didn't want to fall asleep when they were supposed to go on an adventure! He sat up, blinked away what little fatigue there was, then stood and started to gather his things, which was as easy as just picking up his bag. That was, until he noticed Morgan attaching her lightsaber to the outside of her bag, leading him to do the same. Then Morgan pulled out her bow and posed, apparently as a "naked hunter," and when she and Terra laughed, Jake grinned and laughed too. And Terra wasn't wrong about Morgan's typical state of dress in the jungle...
And now they were moving on, following the river. Every now and then he might wince slightly at the pain in his chest, but it didn't happen often and was far from debilitating. At least it was nice out, and the air was fresh, and the scenery was pretty. He started to get kind of hungry, so he pulled some snacks out of his backpack and even offered some to Terra before he snacked as he walked along. He munched the last bite of it and crumpled up the wrapper as they suddenly reached a new landmark. And Jake's eyes widened spectacularly...*

*Morgan didn't take any snacks, though she did pull a bottle of water out of her bag and sipped on it as they walked to wherever their next destination took them. But then they made it to their next destination and she slowed her pace to a standstill as her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. For below them was a valley, separated by the river and shadowed by the mountains on either side. It was an open valley, with some trees and fungi, but for the most part it appeared to be fields and meadows. Why hadn't she known about this sooner?! Jungle trails and lakes were fun, but wide open spaces were better! There were meadows in the jungle, but nowhere near this large!
Just like when they found the cave, Morgan didn't ask the others' thoughts before climbing down the valley herself, passing by the fungal brush along the edges and bursting forth into the meadow. She grinned and looked around at the open space. This was great! Now they play here as well! Well, that was, if Terra was into that sort of thing. She looked around, then, with a mischievous smile, turned around and tapped Terra's thigh.*
Tag! You're it!
*With a giggle, she fled. The game had begun, though she didn't know just how fast Terra could be. Morgan liked to think she was fast, and Jake could be fast too, so hopefully they were on even footing. Still, it was different than water, and since Terra couldn't swim, that meant she was able to fully participate as well.*

Terra accepted the snack from Jake and pulled out a bottled water of her own after she had finished eating it, downing it fairly quickly. The ripper attack and the walking had made her thirsty. Everyone was silent during the trip and she figured there wasn't much else to say at the moment, so she stayed quiet and enjoyed the scenery. When they reached the edge o the valley, her jaw dropped and she stared out over the open space with widened eyes. Yet another gorgeous locale here on Felucia...
With a grin, she followed Morgan into the valley and into the meadow, dropping her bag alongside Morgan's and immediately giving chase to the girl after getting tagged. With nothing on her body now, she was completely unencumbered and was able to run a bit faster than usual, which meant she caught up to Morgan fairly quickly. Maybe it was unfair since she was able to run faster than both Jake and Morgan, but that was all right. If the speed difference turned out to be too much, she could just hold back a bit.
With a lunge, she reached out her hand and tagged Morgan on the shoulder."You're it!"Giggling, she turned and started running away, going much more slowly this time so that Morgan or Jake would at least have a chance at catching her...unless she used Force Speed...

*Morgan had to frown when Terra caught up to her, stopping and spinning around before noticing Terra didn't have her bag on her. Well, that wasn't fair! Morgan nudged Lokay off her shoulder and she removed her own equipment again, then, now also unencumbered, chased back into the fray. But instead of go for Terra, she she pulled away and went after her brother, catching up to him and tapping him on the arm.*
Gotcha!
*She quickly spun and fled again, though suddenly wondered if that injury of Jake's hurt while he was running. Now she felt kind of bad, but she'd keep going unless Jake was clearly unable to keep up or outright said he wasn't able to. But she continue to run until the ground no longer felt soft under her feet. She frowned and slowed to a stop, looking down at the ground, which was no longer grass, but instead hard dirt. But why... ?*

*The valley left Jake breathless, but Morgan, of course, was already climbing down. He followed her, looking around as they stepped within. This looked quite nice, and like a great place to play! ... which Morgan didn't hesitate to demonstrate, tapping Terra and pronouncing her it before running away. Jake's instinct was to get away from Terra, though she went after Morgan instead after shedding her bag. Which was a good idea, one Jake copied before he ran off on his own.
Terra got Morgan, and Morgan seemed to be going after Terra again... but it was a fake, for she came straight after him! He yelped and grinned as he ran, trying to outrun her, but she somehow caught up and tagged him. He skidded to a stop, nearly slipping, and turned to go after her, but she was already gone. So he went after Terra instead, not sure if he was going to be able to catch up to her, but he did his best. It was a difficult effort, but finally he managed to make just within arm's reach, and extend his arm and—*
Got you— Agh!
*He'd managed to touch her, but the exertion had strained the injury on his chest. He stopped and fell to his knees, clutching his chest and hissing. Okay, that hurt. Maybe this wasn't a good idea after all, which made him feel a little disappointed; sure, he could walk around the jungle fine, but now he wouldn't be able to participate in tag, which either meant they would have to continue without him or end it entirely. He looked up at Terra with a grimace, looking apologetic.*
S-sorry, I-I don't think I can play...

Terra saw Jake coming after her and ran, but slowly enough so that he could catch up to her and she felt his hand on her lower back, just above her backside. That had been a little close, but she didn't have time to think about it as she heard him hiss. Turning around, she ran over to him to see if he was all right. He seemed fine, but it was apparent that his injury would prevent him from playing tag with them, and she guessed that the action of reaching out had put some strain on the wound on his chest. Well that was disappointing but she didn't want him to hurt himself trying to catch her or Morgan, so she smiled reassuringly at him."That's OK. I don't want you to hurt yourself."Looking over, she saw Morgan staring at the ground and she started jogging over, figuring she'd let her know that her brother wasn't going to be able to play. As she walked over, she noticed that there was no grass, but hardened dirt instead. That was odd, but she had to let Morgan know about her brother first."Hey Morgan? Jake says he can't play...so it'll have to be just us. Or maybe...we could do something else?"
