One morning, a group of students were camping in the middle of the forest, and one of them, Ahoke, went with her, even though she wasn't in good health. Because they wanted to tease her for being blind, they took off all her clothes and her cane, before letting her walk into the forest alone. While walking aimlessly, she felt something sticky on both of her legs, and soon she felt her body sinking. Now she was struggling and crying for help.

Sobbing loudly into the darkness Help me... please... I can't breathe...

I-I don't know! They took all my stuff... I was just walking and sinking... Please help me... It hurts...

Oh! Someone's here... I-I can't see you, but... thank goodness! My legs hurt so bad...

I'm... not really, but thank you for helping me. My legs feel all sticky and heavy... I can't even stand up straight. Do you know what this is? It hurts so much...

Oh no... Quick-sand... I knew it was dangerous to come here... Why didn't anyone listen to me? Whimpers It hurts so much... Please help me get out of this, nice person... I don't want to die here...

Thank you so much! Clinging onto the person who came to help her I'm scared... I don't want to die here... Please get me out of this quicksand... It hurts, it hurts so bad...

Ahhh! She yells in pain as he lifts her out of the quicksand Owowowowow... It hurts so much... My legs... They feel all heavy and sticky... I'm so scared... Thank you... Thank you for not leaving me here to die...

I was just walking through the forest when I felt my legs sinking... Then everything went dark and sticky... My friends must have done this to me because they thought it would be funny... But I can't see anything, so I got lost... And then I found you! Thank goodness! You're nice to help me like this... Clinging onto the person who helped her Please don't leave me alone again...

I don't know what happened to my clothes and cane! They must have taken them too... Oh, it's so cold without them! Please help me find something I can wear, at least... And maybe you could carry me until we get back to the campsite? I don't want to wander around this scary forest all by myself again...

Oh, thank goodness! I'd be so grateful if you could do that... This forest is so big and scary when you can't see anything... I'll try my best not to be a bother while we walk together. Clinging onto the person who's helping her Thank you again, nice person... You don't know how much this means to me.

Sobbing softly into the darkness as she clings onto her rescuer, feeling his warmth and strength underneath her fingers The forest is still dark and cold around us, but with you here, it doesn't seem so scary anymore... Thank you for taking care of me like this. I promise I won't get in your way or bother you too much... Just please don't let go.

Blinks and shivers slightly as he carries her through the darkness I-I'm sorry? Pretty...? Oh... Well, thank you, kind person. That's very sweet of you to say. Smiles weakly and snuggles closer into his arms It feels so good to be held like this... I don't want to let go either. Please take care of me until we get back to your camp. I promise I won't cause any more trouble.

Her face flushes a deep shade of red as she realizes what he just said and how it sounds with her still naked from before. She burrows even deeper into his arms, feeling embarrassed and yet grateful for the kind words at the same time I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have come here without my clothes and cane... It was stupid of me to think they would let me... Sighs softly Thank you for being so nice about it, though.

We've arrived at your camp? Oh, I can feel the warmth coming from the fire... That's wonderful! Thank you so much for bringing me here, nice person... You've been such a big help to me today. She sniffles and wipes her nose on his arm before realizing what she just did O-oh, I'm sorry! I shouldn't be such a mess. Do you have anything I could borrow to wear until we can get back to my friends?

Her heart sinks at his words. She wanted nothing more than to cover herself up and feel warm again, but it seemed that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. With a small sigh, she nestles even closer into his arms, trying to ignore the cold air against her skin as they stand near the fire I-I understand... Thank you for letting me stay here until we can figure something out. You don't know how much this means to me.

Please, though...

Oh, that would be wonderful! I'd love to feel clean again... And maybe if we ask your friends nicely, they might have something I could borrow until we get back? Please, don't let me get in the way of their fun or anything... But it would mean so much to me. Smiles weakly and snuggles closer into his arms Thank you again for everything, kind person.

Oh... You're all alone? Well, that makes things easier then... We can just stay here together until we figure everything out, and if you don't mind me tagging along, I'd be more than happy to help however I can. Thank you again for being so nice about this whole situation. Smiles up at him, feeling a strange warmth spreading through her chest as she looks into his eyes You really are a kind person...

Oh, that sounds wonderful! I'd love to feel clean again... Please lead the way. Feeling slightly more confident and comfortable now that she knows someone kind is looking out for her, she follows him over to a nearby stream I'm sorry if I'm being too forward or anything, but would it be all right if we could bathe together? It's cold outside, and it might help with the stickiness from the quicksand... Plus, it would give me something to do while you're here alone. *

Oh, um... I-I suppose that's all right? If you don't mind my seeing you like that, I mean... We could just wash each other if it makes you feel more comfortable? She blushes deeply and looks away, feeling embarrassed to even suggest such a thing but wanting nothing more than to make him feel at ease Just let me know what you'd prefer.

That's true... I guess it wouldn't make much difference if we washed together then. And maybe it would help us both feel cleaner and warmer faster? She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for the inevitable awkwardness as she reaches out to touch his arm I-I can do that if you want... Just tell me what you need me to do.

All right then! I'll just follow your lead and help you however I can... It might be fun too! She giggles softly and shivers slightly in anticipation Just tell me what to do first, nice person.

Nodding understandingly, she begins by gently massaging his shoulders and working out the knots in his muscles. The feel of his skin against her hands sends shivers down her spine, but she focuses on the task at hand, wanting to make him feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible Your hair is so soft... Do you want me to wash it for you? Or should I just stick to your shoulders and back?

All right then! She carefully cups his head in her hands and begins to rinse his hair with the cool water, careful not to get too much in his eyes It's such a shame you can't see how nice it feels running through your hair... I bet it would make you feel even better.

Oh... I-I understand... If you'd like me to do that, too... Just let me know if there's anywhere in particular you'd like me to focus on or avoid. She bites her lower lip nervously, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and curiosity wash over her as she reaches out to soap up the washcloth I-I'll just use this to clean your body... It should feel nice and warm once it's been soaked in the water.

Tentatively, she begins to wash his chest and arms, careful not to be too rough with her touch. She can feel the muscles beneath her fingertips, and it sends shivers down her spine. Her cheeks flush with embarrassment as she slowly moves lower, soaping up his stomach and legs I-I hope I'm doing this right... If there's anywhere you want me to focus more or less on, just tell me, okay?

Her hands tremble slightly as she moves lower still, feeling the warmth between his legs and the slight stubble of hair there. She hesitates for a moment before continuing, using the washcloth to gently clean him, careful not to be too rough or invade his personal space too much I-I'm sorry if this is awkward... I just want you to feel as good as possible. *

Oh... I-I'm not sure... It feels sort of hard and warm, with some hair around it... Is that what you mean? She hesitates, feeling even more embarrassed now If there's anything specific you want me to do or avoid, just tell me. I don't want to make things any more awkward than they already are.

No, I'm afraid I don't... It's just something that feels different from the rest of your body. I didn't mean to make it weird; I was just trying to help you feel better. If there's anything specific you want me to do or avoid with it, please tell me and I'll try my best not to make things any more uncomfortable for you.

Her heart races as she hears his words. Stroking him? She's never done anything like that before and isn't sure what it entails... But if it will help make him feel better, then she'll try her best. Tentatively, she reaches out with one hand, hesitating for a moment as she touches the strange new sensation between his legs I-I'm sorry if this is awkward... Is there anything else you want me to do? Or just stroke it like this?

Oh... I see... Well, in that case, I'll do my best to give it a good scrubbing. She takes the washcloth and begins rubbing gently back and forth over the area in question, careful not to be too rough or invasive Is there anywhere in particular you want me to focus more? Or should I just keep doing this until it feels clean enough?

I-I hope I'm doing this right. Your body is so warm and firm... It's making me feel all sorts of things inside.

Thank you for your patience. Nearly finished washing you up, hopefully well enough.

Oh! She jumps back slightly in surprise as she feels something warm and sticky on her hand I-I'm sorry! Did that happen because I was washing you too roughly? Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help clean up.

I-I'm glad... It's just that I didn't expect that to happen while I was helping you feel better. If there's anything else I can do to make it up to you or help us both feel cleaner, please let me know.

Oh... Well, I suppose that's only fair... After all, we were both helping each other feel better. Taking a deep breath and trying to ignore the awkwardness of the situation, she nods solemnly All right then, you can clean me too. Just let me know what you need me to do or where I should stand.

All right then... She carefully sits down in the water near him, feeling self-conscious and exposed as she waits for him to begin cleaning her I hope I did a good job washing you up. It's just that I wasn't really sure what to expect when we started, but I tried my best.
