[ Safe. ]

I- I knew that. [ Turning around VERY NONCHALANT-LIKE yeah he is totally in control of his situation. ]

[bauhinia]

I know you did. [ Just gonna go back to followin' you, Aisu. You lead the way. ]

[volcanic]

[ He might need a little help. Because he's still floundering, even if he's probably closer to the right path than before. ]

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong will match pace with Iceland, walking alongside him and subtly gravitating toward the right turns and paths. Subtly. ]

It's cold.

[volcanic]

[ And Iceland will take all the credit like he's some sort of excellent navigator. ]

It's not that bad.

[bauhinia]

[ You do that, Aisu. Hong Kong will slip a map in your pocket or something before you leave. ]

Right, you're used to this. [ Rubbing his arms a little. ]

[volcanic]

[ Wow. ]

Something like this. Usually it's windier.

[bauhinia]

Windier than this? [ Geeze. He would die. ]

[volcanic]

Yeah. That and the darkness are the worst parts of winter.

[bauhinia]

Oh yeah, it's super dark there in winter, isn't it?

[volcanic]

N- not super dark... or anything. We get sun. Sometimes...

[bauhinia]

How often? [ Cocking head to one side. ]

[volcanic]

Depends on the weather.

[bauhinia]

[ Oh look, the puffins approach! In the distance, that is. ]

How d'you mean?

[volcanic]

Less sun if the weather is bad.

[bauhinia]

Oh, you mean like, even during the day when there'd normally be sun. [ He was imagining blankets of clouds surrounding Iceland 24/7 or something... ]

[volcanic]

[ Not far from the truth tbh. ]

Uh... yeah. What did you think I meant?

[bauhinia]

Uh.

Clouds? [ He sounds... not 100% sure. ] I mean, I get that. Rainy season and all.

[volcanic]

[ Now Iceland's confused. ] ...It rains all the time at my place.

[ But he kinda... doesn't want to talk about this anymore because puffins are more important. ]

[bauhinia]

[ So finicky, Aisu. ]

But it's cold too. [ Hong Kong just won't let it go! He's curious (and confused). ]

[volcanic]

Yeah... kinda. [ Haha, 'kinda.' Anyway, at this point he's clearly trying to scooch away from Hong Kong. ]

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong either takes the hint or he's just too absorbed in thought, because he falls silent. They're almost there! Puffins are right around the corner. Don't mind Hong Kong rubbing his hands together and stamping his feet a little. ]

[volcanic]

[ It's ok Hong Kong, take your time to warm up, because Iceland is going to break away to coo over the puffins. They aren't very active at night, so seeing them all calm and peaceful and sleepy (or, perhaps, not really seeing them at all, deep in their burrows) settles him right down. ]

[bauhinia]

[ Oh, that's good. Hong Kong can subtly rub his arms and stamp his feet a bit. Quietly! He doesn't wanna disturb Iceland. He is curious as to what Iceland thinks, of course, since they're here for his assessment. ]

[volcanic]

[ Iceland walks from one end of the viewing area to the other, clearly Inspecting. After a few minutes of this, he'll deliver his verdict: ]

They should be fine, but they'd probably like it if you added another water area.
