>Hilda rubs her eyes awake
>Ganders at the pander hair that is Li Li's ponytail next to her
>Li Li is masturbating quietly through her slightly weather-worn outfit with one paw covering her mouth in an already-failed attempt to not wake Hilda up with her gasps
>She hasn't noticed that Hilda is up and felt the slight bucking of the pander's hips
>Hilda rolls over and hugs her
>"Li Li, are you crying?"
>Li Li jolts in surprise and the arm stops the melody-like movement just before finishing, panting and red-faced through her fur. "Ah! Hilda! Uhh no. I'm... alright. Ok? Just go to sleep."
>"Oh! You're doing *that!* It's been a while since you did that."
>The ponytail groans in embarrasment.
>"Is it because you feel sad? I do that sometimes too."
>Pander doesn't respond.
>"I ruined it didn't I? Sorry."
>"It's fine. I'm gonna go to sleep."
>Hilda frowns and settles back in, nuzzled up under the tent's warmth next to the lump of cuteness she's been journeying around with for several months.

>Minutes later.
>"Hey, Li Li? What do you think about?"
>"Think about?"
>"When you do it."
>Li Li elbows her in the stomach. "Hilda! That's weird!"
>"Why not? It doesn't matter."
>"Because, it's... well it doesn't really matter anymore. Does it?"
>Li Li looks through the entrance of the tent to the rushing river in the near distance
>A lone Tauren totem shaped like a stone ox stands guard over the current
>"Li Li?"
>The panda's memories of her mother and Bo flood through like the waves she felt when nearly drowning
>"Nothing. I don't want to think about the future, or the past, or anything, so that's why I do it. To think about nothing."
>"Oh. Well I think about you."
>Li Li's face shifts even further into a subtle red
>"Hey, you still want to feel good, right?"
>"Hilda..."
>Hilda scoots over
>"I can do it."
>"D-don't..."
>"It doesn't matter, does it?"
>She slips her hands under Li Li's coat
>"Hehe, you're still really warm."
>The pander's memories fade into relief just from hearing that from someone else
