Felucia's Open Terrain

*Morgan giggled when Terra said she'd never seen snails like these before and exclaimed that they were huge. Her response was a simple one.*
Well, everything's bigger on Felucia!
*She giggled again, and indeed, for the most part it was true. Sure, while it still had several smaller species, most of them were larger than their average counterparts, plant and animal alike. It was a fact Morgan actually liked about Felucia, and in some ways it felt even more like an adventure, as though she was shrunken and traveling through someone's yard. Only even more colorful and awesome.

Morgan beamed when Terra said that this was great, and that she was really having fun. Morgan stopped, then gave Terra a hug as she smiled sweetly up at her.*
I'm glad you like it! And I'm glad you're having fun! I'm having fun with you too.
*Morgan smiled for a moment longer, then released Terra, continuing to lead her up the winding passageway. This was really fun, and Morgan already felt like she had bonded close to Terra in the short time she'd known her. She was glad to have a companion, not just in the jungle, but in nudity as well, though she doubted Morgan and Terra would be running around naked together anywhere else anytime soon... Sure, Morgan had a similar relationship with Jake, but the fact that Terra was both female and not related to her made this different, somehow.

They exited the cave at the top, returning to the jungle. Rush disappeared once more to patrol. Morgan was surprised and relieved they hadn't run into any dangerous creatures yet, especially this far into the jungle, but she was counting her blessings. And it was still very light outside, which meant they had made plenty of good time, though it would probably still be pretty late by the time they got back. Not that it mattered to Morgan; a nighttime hike sounded pretty lovely.

Water. She could hear it faintly in the distance. Morgan gasped softly as she picked up the pace. The flora had slowly begun to resemble more typical plantlife, with fewer fungi about. Fiddle head plants were springing up, and Morgan beamed; they were nearly there. She then took off running, dashing through the tall grass that met her, and then appeared at the lake. She gasped softly, then turned back to where hopefully Terra would be behind her.*
This is it! This is the lake!
*She turned back toward the lake, smiling radiantly. They were here at last, the large and eye-shaped lake, fed by a waterfall and emptied by the river at its bottom. Blue flowers decorated the bank by the river, white faerie rings dotted the shore here and there, and the entire area was surrounded by baby ferns. It was one of the most marvelous sights Morgan had ever seen, and indeed, one of the first sights she'd seen on Felucia, though in a dream. Morgan took a couple of steps forward, then looked at Terra again, still beaming.*
What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?!

*Terra seemed to take it all in at her own pace, truly appreciating the scenery before agreeing that it was in fact beautiful. Morgan giggled and looked toward the lake at the same time Terra slid one strap of her bag off of her shoulder and asked Morgan if they were going in. Morgan grinned and dropped her own backpack to the ground, nodding.*
Well, duh!
*She was the first in the water, dashing in as Lokay again fled back to the shore, curling up and watching the two of them. Morgan splashed into the water and diving forward, swimming around in place before turning back to Terra and giggling, face still purple from the fruit; the purple on the rest of her body hadn't washed off just yet. Morgan cared more about swimming and playing for now anyway; if it washed off on its own, so be it, that was just more convenient for her.*

*Morgan gasped and swam back to Terra when she saw her trip into the water, but fortunately Terra recovered on her own. Morgan still stayed by her side, swimming in place and looking around. The waterfall caught her eye. Morgan grinned, then looked at Terra with a giggle and gestured toward it with a nod of her head.*
C'mon, Terra! Let's go by the waterfall!
*Morgan then swam that way, breaststroking somewhat speedily toward it. The water got shallower just around and behind the waterfall, though was deeper directly beneath the flow. Morgan waded behind the waterfall, then stuck her head under the flow. She giggled and withdrew it, looking around for Terra.*
It's really fun to get underneath the waterfall! Try it!

*Morgan stepped back as Terra approached so she could also step under the waterfall, then step back after a moment and brush away her hair, admitting it was refreshing. Morgan nodded, agreeing, and almost stuck her own had back in until Terra spoke again, comparing it to a shower and noting they were "appropriately dressed" for it. Morgan giggled with Terra, truly amused at the joke, and glad that Terra was comfortable enough to make it. Morgan then nodded.*
Uh-huh! And it just feels really good!
*Morgan stepped under the waterfall fully this time, head down as she let the water flow over her. She ran her hands over her chest and face, washing off the purple, then stepped out of the waterfall, inspecting her chest. Realizing she couldn't see her face, she looked up at Terra.*
Do I still have purple on my face?

*Morgan grinned when Terra confirmed there was no more purple on her face. So that was that, she was cleaned off and— wait. There was one other place purple could be. Morgan twisted her body again to take a look at her backside, where she confirmed the purple was still there. Barely. Morgan looked at Terra again, but she had already asked if there was still any purple on her own face. Morgan shook her head, then smiled.*
Nope! But Terra! You forgot to check my butt!
*Well, that was an odd thing to say. Morgan tittered then had a fit of squealing giggles, then turned and stuck her rear end into the water flow, hopefully wiping off the purple. Then she turned her back toward Terra and looked over her shoulder at her.*
Is it all gone?
*She giggled again, trying not to squeal again. The silly things they were doing were just very amusing and relieving for her; she could just let loose and do things she didn't normally do, goofy things, for a bit of amusement. So long as Terra wasn't bothered by it, that was, but she probably wouldn't be.*

*Morgan was glad Terra was laughing and enjoying the silliness of this all as well, allowing her giggles to become high-pitched again. When Terra confirmed the purple was gone, Morgan turned to face her again with a grin, but Terra was only still laughing, so Morgan kept laughing with her. It felt good to laugh, especially when Terra turned and asked if there was any purple on her rear as well. Morgan let out a few more high-pitched giggles and shook her head, trying to force out her words.*
N-nope! You're cl— You're clean!
*Morgan laughed for a few more moments, then finally managed to stop herself and catch her breath. She faced her back to the waterfall again and stepped fully under it this time, tilting her head back so that the water would run down her hair as she looked over at Terra with a smile.*
Ya know Terra, I'm having a lot of fun with you. I've never been able to do anything like this before! Well, I guess Jake and I do some of the same things, but it's different with you, because you're a girl too, even though you're older than me. But that's okay! We can still have lots of fun. I mean, we already are, aren't we?
*She smiled sweetly at Terra, and meant every word; this was a lot of fun, being able to just relax and let everything out. ... literally. She tittered a little at that thought, watching Terra for a response. Terra was pretty cool, Morgan thought, especially since she was indulging the child in her activities and even learning from her. She'd been an unexpected visitor, but a highly welcome one nonetheless.*

*Morgan beamed when Terra claimed she didn't remember ever having this much fun before. She didn't think nothing of it until she did in fact notice the sudden faltering in her expression, that lasted only a brief moment before Terra's smile returned to the way it was just before. Now Morgan frowned curiously, wondering what was bugging Terra, but she couldn't exactly say that was hard proof there was something troubling her, and usually when one tried to hide an expression, they didn't want to talk about it.

Morgan knew. She'd done the same thing just yesterday.

She let it go and let her eyes travel away from Terra and up the waterfall. Granted, there was little to look at, considering they were behind it, but it was still an interesting sight seeing the water come down, and the distance between the flow and the cliff face it flowed down. The rocks seemed to glitter slightly with moisture, and looked very slippery; a climber's nightmare. And now Morgan was at a loss for what to do.*
Hey Terra, what should we do now?
*She tried to come up with other ideas in the meantime, but also decided to let Terra take a crack at coming up with something to do. Couldn't hurt, after all.*

*Morgan waited for Terra as she seemed to think about what to do, then suggested they rest for a bit, since they'd been walking a long time. Oh, right... Morgan rarely got tired out here, due to her connection allowing her to share energy with the planet itself, boosting her endurance levels. She always forgot that was the case with others. But she was okay with that. Smiling and shrugging, she stepped out of the waterfall's flow and started to walk past Terra.*
That works for me.
*She then stopped, turning to face Terra and looking her up and down, a mischievous grin coming to her face.*
Besides, it'll let you work on your tan.
*Morgan giggled again and quickly backed off, as though Terra might retaliate. Morgan herself, if Terra had noticed, sported a healthy tan all over her body, for... obvious reasons. Terra, considering her own modesty and shyness, likely didn't. Morgan hoped it wasn't something that offended Terra, she just thought it would be a silly thing to say. And a serious suggestion, if Terra wanted to take it that way.*
