April finally made her way back to the side of the lake where the two men were, and she noticed the both of them sleeping. She gave a soft smile, and after making sure Simon was asleep, moved over to Crimson where she set the herbs down. She separated them into groups that looked slightly alike, before pushing herself up to her feet, and walked over to the edge of the lake. After one more check to make sure the both of them were asleep, she slipped out of the dress, or more like, pried the crackling dress away from her body.
It took a lot of scrubbing to keep the blood and dirt from her skin, and she paid extra attention to her shoulder. The skin was torn and it looked horrible, but she was able to get all of the dirt and muck from the cuts. There was lots of wincing and hissing, but eventually it was just blood, nothing else.
When she had finished bathing, she turned her attention towards the dress sitting at the edge of the lake, and stared at it as she crossed her arms over her chest, her wet blonde hair hanging around her face in clean tendrils. After a moment, she grabbed the ruined dress with her hands, and dunked it into the water, cleaning it for the most part. After making sure it was clean…enough, she wrung it out best she could, and slipped it on. The cool air made the dress chilly, and she quickly moved over to the grass and curled up, resting her chin on her knees and shut her eyes. Freezing was one way to put it. If she was cold, the other two must have been cold. She peeled her eyelids open and turned to look at Crimson, if he was still asleep, just to make sure he was still breathing, and not shivering too badly.
“Crimson?� She would whisper loudly, to try and see if he was awake, or if he truly was asleep.
