The soft distant sound of a send just touched his mind. **Are you back yet?**

**Back? Ah, you've been looking for me.** The undertones of sorrow pushed back by the moment's amusement. **The question is, are you back or are you still teasing the various bond animals?**

She chuckled softly in her mind and he could feel she was happy that he was still alive and safe. **Everyone is so greatful for the filling meal you gave us my friend. Many would like to thank you in person but will wait till you feel ready.** Dancer sent immages to him of joyful faces and elves munching. A big kitty getting loves and a very happy feeling all around that came with a full belly.

A rich 'laugh' rippled in her mind in response.
**I just have missed the scent/feel of the Vast Deep around me the way I imagine you would the wind after staying in caves so long. Here I dance!**
And there was a joyful kind of flight as Crosscurrent again rushed to the surface to jump into the air. The feeling of pressure, then sudden brisk wind across his skin, shared freely as the Wavedancer laughed aloud. Reflexivly twisting before perfectly knifing back into the water.

She could not help but laugh with his joy. She could almost feel the water splashing around her, smell the thickness of salt out in the vast deep and his joy was contagious. **I wish I could see the vast deep with you my friend. It would be like going to another world. D... Did I see a tail?** She almost didn't ask but couldn't help it. All the mental imagery he sent flooded her mind but that stuck out. Indeed it did.

Like an otter the Wavedancer poked his head above the surface to face the semi-distant beach. He honestly drew a blank in thought to the question. Green eyes drifted down to the crimson red tail lazily shifting to keep him steady then back where the land met the sea.
**Obviously you have not gotten Eltiln out of the pool yet.**
'She sees elves floating in air, and rides a water-loving cat, and she wonders at my tail?'
Even slowly healing grief were almost distant as thoughts raced. It hadn't been as if she'd commented on his arm fins after all, although their matching red was hardly subtle.

She sighed softly hearing his send. **No I haven't. I was waiting for the dark so none would be asking unwanted questions and such.** Good thing he couldn't see her face flush after she asked the question about his tail. He had legs when she saw him last. Fins were one thing a whole tail where his legs had been was another. She tried hard to change the subject. **I bet you see such amazing things out there don't you?**

**You just want to touch my tail don't you** It wasn't really a question. Crosscurrent couldn't keep that smirk usually used by older siblings from the Sending either.

Yes Dancer was young but she was not unfamiliar with that tone and the smirk that swam along with the send. It made her blush just slightly and then laugh. The fluttering laugh filled his mind like a joyful song until the words came. **You are a lonely little fish aren't you? You do understand fish are slimy creatures.** Her cute little nose wrinkled up a bit and her eyes rolled over exaggeratedly as she teased back at him coyly. **But if you want to bring me some lovely little trinket from the vast deep I would be more then happy to receive a gift from you.** Dancer laughed softly. It felt good to flirt and be a bit silly. She often thought more about what needed to be done then she let on. She had shown she could be responsible in her thoughts for what the group needed and how to help another with internal struggle. There was no need for her to take charge or hand out orders so they needed to smile and laugh now and then. Even that is a need. Something the body and soul need just as much as food and drink and a job she would always willingly accept.

'Slimy?'**Slimy?**His weapon-less hand absent mindely drifted down to touch where his torso and tail met. The textured feel was as calming as a worry stone. Not that his scales actually registered more then pressure, but even that was as comforting as touching his brother's shoulder. He just couldn't believe an elf befriended by cats thought fish were so gooey.. As for a trinket to gift her, **How about something really slimy that has no bones?** The image of her with a jellyfish, one of the smaller types that taught children the dangers of their tendrils, brought the smirk back. Not to ruin the surprise he didn't Send the image of the creature to her just yet. 'Oh for a Shield gift. Then she could see the wonders herself.' But he hadn't inherited that from his mother's father. Shielding and Healing ran strong in his family: his brother, born of Recognition, held both. Green eyes looked at the sky. Noticing the weather out of habit as he dove back down once more. His long fair hair fanned slightly since the ponytail holder was at his back. The feeling as intimate as a lover's fingers to his scalp.

Dancer wondered for a bit lone in her thoughts of what something like that might be like. Like the many slippery slimy slugs that she saw in the jungle? **Why not** The send full of confidence and an almost I won't be surprised by this thing he is going to bring me feel to it. ** Meet me at the waters edge when the night comes. I will bring you what you asked me to and you can show me this slimy thing with no bones if you like.** There was a pause for a bit before she added, **And yes.... I do want to touch your tail.** She laughed quietly and felt her face get hot as she knew what he would think but she didn't care. Dancer was inquisitive and Crosscurrent was far more different then any of the other new elves she had met thus far. So if her face turned as red as the feathers on a squawking fireplume that flew about her once jungle home she didn't care.

Recalling the angle of the daystar he quickly guessed how long before such a meeting. The word 'slimy' might describe Eltiln's body after so long, which is why he'd suggested a net. And if she wanted to be smart, not to mention not put his body on display, she'd blanket him with branches or something first.
For his own thoughts he didn't see anything more then the curiosity of the young when it came to tail or fins. Even among the Wavedancers the very small adored them. Their bright colors (as most of them were) just drew them somehow: and in some ways Dancer was no different from a sheltered youth.
Truthfully Crosscurrent was figuring out how to transport a jellyfish. Without damaging it or stinging himself. ..Or if he should. It wasn't the nicest of gifts for the elftess after all.

**Your journey to the water won't be so swift,** he warned. **I'll make bedding for your land-loving sleep. You and Fire Bright. Late tomorrow I can show you your gift.**
He turned to swim toward the land. Needing time to prepare a rest spot for her and himself before true darkness fell. Wolfriders were the noturnal elves. Crosscurrent guessed she wasn't of a tribe like them.

Dancer's over worked mind heard her friends send. It actualy seemed to pull her from her anger at Blaze. Still the send back to Crosscurrent was heavy. Filled with stress, the heavy mental tired that comes from such agrivation and a longing for calmness. **I look forward to seeing you again soon my friend. Take care till then.** The send was washed with the need to sit and even a nap might be nice. He could see images of the new elf cub, the hurtful send from Blaze and the confrontation afterward. Dancer couldn't keep a wall up right now to block much of anything and yet she would not back down from any fight that came her way.

The daystar fell as night arrived. The one wounded moon above had dominated the sky, although the stars were no less bright. Tides had been affected into a new rhythm.
Still, it was a nice warm night for those who slept it seemed.
OOC: I assume we've decided to jump time forward.
