It was probably for the best since she had, in fact, caught something during her fishing attempts...just not a grindylow. Her line tangled up around a rock and some of the aquatic plants in the lake, Mitsuki had tugged herself right off and into the water which still dripped freely from her soaked robes and sloshed around in her shoes. At least a majority of the mud had shaken itself off during her journey, though some clumps remained in her hair and smeared across her cheek.

It was during her trudge that she happened upon Yumeki-senpai and she briefly lamented that she did not have her art supplies with her in order to capture this particular sleeping figure. It was a new position to find himself in and the way the sunlight framed him was quite the aesthetic. Perhaps she could remember and paint it from memory later once she had cleaned up.

There was concern that he might nod a bit too much to one side and fall, though she would prefer he do so forward rather than backwards. She could possibly fix a broken nose but the alternative was much less promising. There was also the dilemma that she never had disturbed him during his moments of transcending the waking world and into the next realm...and it still felt uncomfortable doing so now. She would just stand nice and close this time, hover in a more pronounced manner rather than at a distance.

The water dripping from her hair and limps on to his trousers may have to do them both a favor given the circumstances.
He bobbed and swayed in place as he caught some shut eye on the Bridge. The slight chill to the evening wind kept it so that he couldn't out right fall asleep with where he was located, but he has had LOTS of practice at tuning out his surroundings to focus on himself thanks to all the meditations he had to sit through in training. It was Sleep without really sleeping he told himself, and yes he knew there was more to it than just that. Each time his body shifted he made sure it would do so in a way that only leaned him forward. Anyone witnessing this feat could only assume that Yumeki Kawatani was some kind of sleeping daredevil. Who in their right mind would seek thrills in their slumber?

He decided that he had his share of a good eye-resting by now. Again to reiterate he knew his position was a very dangerous one so a long nap would make this terrible decision even worse. He blinked his eyes open and spotted a figure who was barely visible from the last bit of sunlight that was peaking from behind the Scottish Mountains in the distance. "Ohayo, Mitsuki-chan."He spoke up almost instinctually. He let out a post-nap yawn and scratched his side and lowered himself from the ledge to now sitting with his back against the stone railing.

he tilted his head as he looked at her a bit more as his eyes adjusted. "W-what happened to you? ...It looks like you spent the day in the Swamp Corridor.."
