After a bit of walking, Adey began to question whether Acedia actually knew where he was going or not.
"Hey, are you SURE you know where we are?" she demanded, stepping up to his side.
"Of course I do!" The reply was followed by a large yawn and Acedia stretching out his limbs. "We're just moving kinda slowly... We'll get home, don't worry!"
"Could you move a little faster?" Adey grumbled. "I mean, I know you're the lord of Sloth and all...but seriously, I don't want another rabid turkey to jump on me." And then, as if she had hexed herself, Adey heard a rather threatening gobble behind her.
"Crap."
The Christmas-colored bird had returned. It leaped out of the bushes, going for Acedia. Which resulted in Acedia screaming like a little girl and zipping off into the jungle, running faster than he ever had before. Adey facepalmed.
