[She recovers fast enough, passing it off as an involuntary shiver and roll of her shoulders.]
With how things are around here, I don't know if I can take that seriously anymore. [Codi chuckles and grins. Humor will distract from her discomfort, right?] If Davy Jones doesn't revive you, maybe you'll come back as one of these things.
[A small skeleton creature, apparently trying to stay hidden in the underbrush, seems to realize that it's been spotted and scuttles back into the forest. Codi is (outwardly) unperturbed; she cranes her neck to look back at Crocker.]
Just worry about keeping up, Denny. [She beckons him and Alex with a wave of her hand.] We're passing through the middle of the map soon. There's a...dot, here. Then a few more paces, then we should be at the end.
