"Well... I was going to make the fire myself, but you go ahead, you seem excited about this.
I'll cook the fish, will be my pleasure! I cooked fish all the time back home!"

Misha, Ray
Erin disappears into the woods and shortly returns with a few logs and some smaller sticks. "OK, well.. Let's see!" She snaps and a small spark ignites some kindling. A few seconds later and it catches, starting to turn into a proper campfire. "Ah... that's better. Better... Come on, get hotter...!" Erin seems a bit disappointed.
Iora pops back up. "Heeeeey, what type of fish do you want?"
"Huh? Uh, I dunno..." Erin says. "I don't know anything about mountain... lake... cold fish, just... pick something. Whatever you can get."

Misha takes out a combat knife from her coat and works on sharpening a few sticks to use. "Told you the fire wouldn't get that hot, Erin. Wind's too much up here. We'd need a shelter if we want the fire to be hotter."

Misha, Ray
"Sh-shelter, yes... Shelter sounds good..." Erin says, almost sitting in the fire.
Iora brings the fish, Ray puts them on Misha's spears and cooks them over Erin's fire. It takes a bit longer than expected to cook - Iora returns to her swimming - but in the end the fresh roasted fish is absolutely worth the wait.
"That's... so good," Erin says. "That's it. I'm making a shelter up here. That's what I'm doing through the year. And then I can have warm and fish. N-now, there's... just... one more thing to do before we can go." She looks apprehensive, then shakes her head. "I'm not gonna have anyone calling me a wuss!" she yells, as if she'd just been having an argument in her own head. She, in a huff, sets her boots aside and runs towards the lake. She gasps, running out a few steps until the water is just barely past her ankles. She turns and points. "Th-there... see! N-n-no... one... c-c-can say I didn't... go in... the water...!"
You all notice a shadow creeping up behind her as Iora swims over.

Misha giggles, then her eyes widen a bit as she sees the incident coming. "Ummm...!
No one thinks you're a wuss, Erin, we all think you're quite brave! Why don't you come sit by me and warm up again? I'll share my coat with you!"

(Okay, so is there a shadow AND we see Iora or is Iora the shadow, because I assumed since the start of this scene that the shadow and Iora were one and the same)

By now she's popped up and down enough you're sure it's Iora's shadow

Ray will calmly finish eating his last fish, his full attention on what is going to happen, trying to hide his smile.
"Well, nobody said going in the water was a competition isn't it?"

Selfless takes a newly acquired jar and net in hand and begins slowly skulking toward the bugs, somewhat clumsily at first but correcting fairly quickly. When the insects are near... a sudden swipe of the net!

Selfless
you wait patiently as an insect approaches then strike. You look in the net. Success! The insect has been captured and is soon secure in the jar.
You look up to find Fenian staring at you from across the creek. "...What are you doing?"
Misha, Ray
Iora beelines for Erin.
Erin puffs out her chest and puts her hands on her hips. "Y-yeah I'm brave, I'm just c-cold!" She takes a step back. "I'm the best, and don't forget- AH!"
Iora grabs her ankle, but just misses the second. She yanks, sending Erin falling forward. With a leg free, Erin manages to catch herself on her hands and stop from falling all the way into the water. "Wha- IORA!"
Iora pops out. "So-o-o-o-o-o-orry. Force of ha-a-a-a-a-abit. You looked like easy prey..." She continues tugging on Erin's ankle, trying to grab her tail with the other.
"Well I'm not, so let go!" Erin yells.
"Oh, right. So-o-o-o-o-orry." Iora releases her and slinks back into the water.
Erin stomps back to the fire, struggling out of her damp gloves on the way. She plops down almost touching the fire in a huff.

Selfless' hollow visage peers up at Fenian, eyeing him from behind the cowl.
"Enjoying youth." Said flatly.

"Well, that could have gone worse," Misha says, taking off her coat and wrapping it around Erin. "Iora! You need to be more careful, okay? Erin's a lot more susceptible to hypothermia than you are. She could have been in real danger if you had dragged her under the water."

Ray will try to hide that he found the situation funny as Misha says what she has to say, trying to keep up the fire to heat up Erin.

"OK. Just make sure you return those creatures to the wild when you are finished." Fenian steps behind a tree, and doesn't step back out the other side. He seems to have disappeared.
Move to Dormitories
Misha, Ray
"Of course it's dangerous, I'm a pre-e-e-e-edator," Iora points out. She doesn't look particularly dangerous, floating around like she is. "And she was stomping around and yelling like an injured beast. So I wasn't thi-i-i-inking, I just attacked the easy pre-e-e-e-e-ey. Tasty."
Erin stomps. "I am fucking delicious but I am not easy."
Iora dives under the water, then leaps out, flips in the air, and lands on the shore by the few pieces of clothing she left behind. She shakes herself, far enough away you only get splashed a bit. "We should go back soon."

Rishan, Selfless
You head to the forest and start wandering around in search of bugs. You hear a few chirping and buzzing around, but most of the forest is quiet. It's hard to find the bugs even when you know there's some around.
