Run Ins

Ted follows closely behind but he looks just as uneasy as I do. At first, everyone seemed angry about us cutting in line but as soon as they saw me, they quickly stepped back. The woman explains to the man who I am and he quickly gives us water. 

I tell them thank you and quickly walk away with Ted. I look down at the weird animal sacks of water and don't stop until we're out of the town. Ted gasps for air as I fan myself. I look down at the water sack with a frown. Did I really have to drink out of this?

Ted lifts his and downs half of it before saying "It just tastes like water. No worries." I nod my head and pass him my water sack. He looks at me with confusion so I quickly wave him off and say "I have water. You take this." His confusion quickly deeps as he says "You've had water this whole time?" I give him a strained smile as I say "I can drink it but I don't know what it'll do to you." He still doesn't understand but he nods his head and drinks more water.
