Savith peered at the cat, then sat foward. "No, thanks," was all he said.

That made her chuckle a bit and she closed her eyes. "Oh Savith lay back and rest."

Savith glanced back at Dancer and hid a smirk with his shoulder while he murmured in reply, "Okay. In a bit..."

With that she was soon snoring lightly. It had been quite a day for her and she was just tuckered out. Still these were the kind of days she would never forget. Well most of it was anyway.

Savith had a feeling. He watched the kitten fall asleep with a faint grin, then returned to watching the waves tumble ashore, occassionally flicking a glance at Crosscurrent to make sure he doesn't..umm.. well... drown.

The sleeping place he had been tugged to wasn't comfortable: half-in and half-out of the water confused his body on lungs or gills. It was hard to breath then. Salt from the water had a slow gain in crusting the gills on Crosscurrent's torso.
Somebody's gaze upon him (a sense all who had mischieves friends or siblings developed) didn't help either.
Not more then a hour after he had decided to nap Adin Crosscurrent woke up slightly laboring in breathing. His instinct to lever himself up on his arms to clear his head from the water awoke the pain in his back/hip, so that he spazzed back beneath. Laying still a moment he more carefully shifted: cursing the net-bag and weapon which made him even more ackward.
The first thing he saw when he blinked about was the large cat-bond, Fire Bright. Dancer curled like her cub against the predator.. as innocent as a newborn.
"High Ones watch fools and children," he grumbled to himself, keeping his voice low as he didn't want to wake her yet. This kind of humiliation was not for other's eyes. Of course, then he noticed the Glider. And even if his humor was darker then usual he still found himself speaking aloud again. "Yup. Both of them here."
It was ackward as anything, but Crosscurrent forced himself to arm-crawl further ashore so that his torso was clear of the water. Not that he enjoyed this vulnerability. He needed to wipe the salt from his gills even as he breathed with his lungs. With his weapon, both of them wounded, and not a lot of choice, he was more then confindent the Glider wouldn't do anything stupid.
At least not with the cat-rider's direction. Meddling youths...
The weapon was unslung from his back (protection, but more importantly, so he could somewhat sit on the beach) with a grimace. It hurt to move his tail much. A look let him noticed a bruise beneath some of the larger scales below his hip. Even without sore muscles he would not have twisted much to see anything else. Forget asking the 'snatching bird' to look.
Not that he totally ignored the Glider. He glanced often towards him. Keeping his thoughts as neutral as he could by trying not to think about a GLIDER being near: only a strange, wounded elf he didn't wish to know.
Besides, if the cub had gotten another protector the bird-brat might object to what he wanted to do to Dancer.
Lock-Sending to Dancer he gradually strengthened the memories into her dreams. She was a trusting soul. Odds were she would be receptive. Not that this wasn't without cost: remembering wasn't a joy, but it was a lesson that wouldn't terrorize her. He taught youths. He didn't lash out usually.
//His brother concentrated hard on the older elftess as he watched at his shoulder. Careful not to disrupt the Healing. Keeping half an ear on the tale of what had happened while waiting for the telling signs of exhaustion in Adir. He would get angry at the two later as the tale of waterfall diving emerged.
Chief Darkpearl was grimly listening, but hadn't spoken, and Crosscurrent hadn't taken his eyes from his brother or patient to see the body-laguage part of the conversation. It was rare for any Wavedancer to get hurt on his frowned upon past-time. Diving was natural for them.
It wasn't long before a tired, satisfied slump of the shoulders warned him in time to support his brother. The elftess slept. Her shifting legs showing her to be healed of the paralyzing injury. Crosscurrent let Riverbask lean back against him as he circled an arm around to offer a sweet. Riverbask ate it without argument before the two of them made their way out of there.
*I think you like Healing because I stuff you with those sweets** he teased. Adir smirked back.
*This was not a sprained wrist, Adin. You can suffer a little as a lesson.** Crosscurrent gave a brief laugh at the returned tease. After all, he was still trying to coax him around before tomorrow.
**I have no doubt Jellyfish-Dodger learned more then Dapplelight. Did you see him twitching? It was like he was handling a small eel in his bag.**
**You just like seeing him squirm don't you?** Riverbask's mental voice highly amused as he expected the, **That's what friends are for, right?** He turned his head to better look at Crosscurrent with an understanding look. They didn't need to say their true worried thoughts they could now dismiss. Dapplelight was fine. Jellyfish-Dodger might change alittle, but he had reacted well enough. The Wavedancers were still whole and ready for tomorrow.
It was their natures to laugh as the danger passed. Still, they kept them in mind for the next times.//
ooc: sorry. I seem to have stopped the RPing.

Adin's motions caught Savith's eyes, and he lifted his head a bit too look over. He too keep his mind and expression neutral even as he kept his thoughts careful contained within his mind. He regarded the wavedancer coolly for a moment, then turned to look at Dancer. He stifled a warm grin at her sleeping innocent, before reigning himself back in and turning to face Adin. It was long moments, long enough for the locksend he did not know what occurring to pass, before he sent a locksend himself to Adin. **I'll leave you two be, if you feel well enough. I really ought to get this ankle propped up a bit better.** OOC: No worries, Fishie! smile We were both lost in thought. Better than being lost in space.

Ah yes the ADHD stricken elf did look exquisite when she slept. Midnight hair lay softly against the well tanned flesh of her face and body. Full lips in the pouty look of slumber. Long lashes hid the sapphire eyes that were normaly full of wonder and joy. Thank the High Ones she didn't talk in her sleep though or she might never be quiet.

"My luck," Crosscurrent absent-mindly muttered as he turned green eyes, still blinking from his concentration, towards the glider. It was easy enough at the moment to merely look at his body to seek hints of the injury without thinking of him. He had none of the Gift in Healing, but having a brother with it had taught him basics for when he himself suffered some injury.
It wasn't only the leg. The glider's body, the very way he sat, told of minor hurts as he settled to be as comfortable as possible.
"Do you need your legs to fly? Because if you do, consider yourself land-bound awhile." Ignoring the twinge in his back. No matter how much he wished to he shouldn't move his tail much right now either. So he concentrated on the other rather then his own body in an effort to relieve the impulses.
"Scoot over so your leg is in the water. That will help with some of it while I," not realizing he sighed here, "will make something to keep it up." He'd kept his voice casual so as not to wake Dancer. Slowly backing up back into the water with his weapon dragged in one hand.

"It don't need them, persay," Savith replied keeping his voice purposefully soft so as not to wake the young one, "But until the bones are a bit more settled, the shifting will smart." He eyed the water and the rolling waves, and tried not to blanch. "Thanks, but no thanks," He replied, opting instead to look at the sand and sort out how much he could reasonable scoop toward his ankle with his levitation gift. "The waves'll smart just as much as air currents... I'd imagine." He paused, and glanced back over at Crosscurrent. "Besides, I can't imagine you hurt any less than I do. You did break all our falls. Something which I have yet to thank you for."

"Don't take this as first-blood, but I do not want to be thanked by a snatching bird," Crosscurrent grunted as he kept slowly shifting backwards. "As for the water hurting like wind I will point out that it helps with swelling. Which is why I'm going back in it."
It had taken a little effort to not grit his teeth, a tell-tale of both his frustration with his company and the pain, in order to not truly antaganize the glider. Likely his slow motions alone showed his vulnerability. Not that the leg-hurt elf over there could do much with that knowledge. The talking distracted from the pain, and vise versa.

"I won't take it as any blood between us, wavedancer," he replied, starting now to push the sand toward him. "There's some stiller fresh water pools further inland. I'll use those later," he added, half watching the fish-elf's slow movements out of the corners of his eyes.

"The waterfall pools? Good but a distance away." Crosscurrent agreed with a pause to catch his breath. Green eyes almost closed as he soaked in the warm sun in an attempt to just enjoy the moment.

Savith nodded, leaning back on his hands from his work in making a perch for his leg. He let out a bit of breath, slightly fatigued from it. "Yes. Those pools. They aren't too far, but you're right, too far at the moment for me to really want to make a go at them."

"You realize the cat-cub here is going to hover over both of us when she wakes up," he said. The slits of his eyes hiding the movement of his gaze although he made no bones about pointing toward Dancer with a hint of the chin.
