Hey, just checking in to make sure the heat hasn't gotten to you. It's hot! Stay safe.

[despisesthegods]

Takes a lot more then this for the heat to get to me. I was living in the Sahara. Make sure you watch our for yourself though. Drinking hot tea as uncomfortable as it can be is a good way to stay hydrated.

[Of course he would know that.]

[Thats odd. She drinks hot tea every morning, first thing.]

The last thing you need to worry about is me getting dehydrated. The ocean's my bestie now, remember?

[....she does send a second text though.]

...why hot tea though? Why not just water?

The herbs the tea is made of make a difference, and consuming a hot beverage in the heat keeps your body from having to work as hard to keep you hydrated. Room temperature is okay as well, but cold drinks take more energy.

And the ocean has a habit of dehydrating people, not hydrating them. It's the salt water.

Fun facts with Styxx! Ha!

[Sorry, she's a multiple text kind of gal... and she's kind of grimacing to herself that her joke didn't quite make it. Oops.]

Definitely wouldn't drink it. Don't think I'll be visiting it any time soon, either to be honest.

Re: Text

[despisesthegods]

Probably a good idea.

[phoenixstrut]

[She shakes her head. Definitely not headed back for at least another few weeks.]

If it gets too hot out there, don't forget I've got a spare room and a freezer full of ice cream.

[She sends it, realizes it might sound a tad forward to invite a man to stay with her, then sends a second:]

I've invited a few others, though, so flavors might be limited.

[Hm.]

[despisesthegods]

I'm used to the Sahara. Trust me, this isn't hot. This is a nice spring day.
