I'm gonna guard what's left of the good in us

Oh that was good, cause Ophie believed that slow and steady won the race! Or at least....won a prize for participating, that still counted, right? She huffed and puffed, following after her friend with little waddling steps. She was doing okay, as long as they kept at a reasonable pace she probably wouldn't pass out. And maybe if she did...Kaija could carry her, she was awfully big and strong after all....AHEM.

"The north really suits you. You look all...big and fluffy." It was her attempt at a compliment, cause Kaija did in fact look good.  "Which I..uh not saying you looked bad when your coat was thinner or anything it's just...well you look like you're happy here. In your element."

Heck. Ophie didn't know when to shut up, did she? Just keep plodding.
