Aurora nodded, but tried to smile and shrugged. "But hey, we're on a tropical island! People pay lots of money to be on these kinds of beaches, don't they?"
She hugged him, and kept one arm around Ronin. Rora adored the boy already, even though she really hadn't known him all that long. "Besides, I bet there are reefs with bright fish, and dolphins, and whales and things we can go searching for tomorrow, if we have time before we get picked up."

"I think these islands are strange somehow." Ronin commented and looked around suspiciously. He wasn't used to this surroundings at all and Kyoko had never told him what do to in such situations. So he simply had to do what he liked...and that was quite difficult. He liked to be with Rora though.
He didn't mind that she hugged him, because most older women seemed to like doing this. And she was nice and she felt warm and he was cold. Ronin listened to her words while he glanced at Sim and the others close to the fire. "You think we'll be picked up ?" He thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly. "I'd like to see doll fins."

Elijah waves a hand past his ear, hitting away a sickeningly large mosquito. He barely takes two more steps forward again when a voice reaches his ears, so short and faint that he's not sure that what he heard was a voice at all.
Never the less, when it pursuit it's a good idea to keep yourself known, especially when dealing with someone of Zanna's nature. More than likely, she has a weapon, he figures, so any type of surprise could have him winding up with undesired wounds.
"Zanna?" he calls back, figuring there is no hurt in trying.

Okay, well that was most definately her name, and as much as she could tell it was also Elijah's voice. Or so she hoped. Lowering her weapon slightly since it wouldn't do her good in the dark, Zanna leaned over the tree house's 'floor' a bit more, eyes squinting in the dark towards the voice.
"Elijah?!" Her voice was a bit louder now, as she woke up and regained hope that he indeed hadn't gone for a long swim and was now here to haunt her for leaving him on the boat. "I'm up here..."
Somehow, she was both excited and scared all at once.

Catching it this time, he's ensured that his pursuit has come to a relieving halt. Craning his head up to the underside of the tree leaves, he walks backwards in a circle while scanning the branches.
"Up?" he repeats, his wings immediately protesting at the prospect of more flight. "Might take me a while to climb up there, m'wings.."
He stifles a yawn before almost toppling over backwards, more conscious now at the jolt of surprise he gains from this. Shaking his head vigorously, Elijah stumbles towards the nearest tree without a care if it's the correct one, preparing to climb.

He was ALIVE!
Zanna was absolutely giddy at the idea that she hadn't killed him by leaving him on the boat, her anger at him forgotten for the moment as she scanned her 'house' for something to aid him in. Spying the rope she had grabbed earlier, she tied one end off to a thick branch and tossed the other down to him. "Here. I can help pull if you want..."
Peering down again, the teen caught glimpse of the other Simu's wings in what moonlight the trees' allowed through. It was a sight for sore eyes.

The rope falls and dangles in front of the bird Simu's face. Pausing briefly, he reaches above his head and grabs the rope the furthest up that he can, silently hoping he isn't completely awful at climbing as he predicts he will be. After all, when's the last time anyone saw a bird climb a rope?
Breathing in heavily, he pulls himself up with what strength he can manage, his feet reaching out for the rough bark for support. His wings fold preciously against his back, though the tips fold out of shape from the wear and tear of the day's flight.
"Be up in a minute," he huffs, forgetting to open his tightly clenched eyes.

Gods she hoped she didn't have to go down and somehow carry him up, with him being stronger than her and all. Watching the rope tighten and noticing his form in a different light, Zanna moved till she was sitting with her back against a thick branch, fingers raising to finger her hair absently.
"Call if you need help." The teen called out, surveying her nest so she could locate everything, gathering and neatening them a bit more before relaxing again. Heaven forbid he impale himself on a unseen weapon of hers after flying and climbing all this way.

Despite himself, he puts his recovering wings to work. They pump almost uselessly, aiding him to gain height up the rope faster than he would if he climbs regularly. Before too long, he slumps into sight from the point of the rope's origin, his wings limp and utterly exhasted, evidence of his cheating.
"Lo," he says, his face down against the floor where he collapsed. There is a sigh of relief evident in his voice. "Been doing yourself some good, all this ways away from everyone else?"

Zanna watched as he collapsed onto the deck, absently moving so that he could rest his head on her lap, fingers trailing through his hair almost automatically. "It's much better on my own then with all of them. Besides, I found a waterfall..."
Trailing off, she shifted again so that she was laying back down in her 'bed', eyes watching him for a bit before the Simu closed them, murring slightly at the warmth he brought. "I thought you had died..."
Her voice was soft as her fingers tightened on the brown locks, relaxing moments later when she sighed.

"Died?" he echos, raising his head as much as he can manage. "Ah.. yes, I suppose that's not a pleasant thing to think happened to me."
Moving his hands, he steadies himself before pushing up his body weight, now positioned on his knees. And here, with her looking the way she does, and her hair radiating the effect of a halo from the moonlight from where he kneels, he can't help himself but take her in.
On the exhale, he lets slip what his mind is thinking. "********, you're beautiful."
His eyes slide away, too exhasted to correct himself or feel embarassment for letting that slide. Too late now anyway, he figures, not that it hurts for her to know what he thinks. .. Did she say waterfall?

"Not so much..." Zanna murmered, cracking an eye to look over at him when he shifted, about to say something when he suddenly spoke, his comment leaving her lips open before her voice could follow. Her other eye opened as she sat up on her elbows to get a better vantage of the teen, eyes searching for his curiously.
Suddenly, she realized she was holding her breath and let it all out at once, a soft smile coming across her lips. "Thank you.." Sleep had caused her voice to become more gravelly than usual, as well as slightly deeper.
Reaching up, the Amazon trailed her fingertips along his jawline, her sleepy state relaxing her more. Soon enough, her finger pads were trailing over his lower lip.

It felt like forever, beyond forever, since he had last been with her. And even longer since he'd had a taste of her lips. So, this welcome for such an action he works upon freely, pressing into her immediately once given the chance.
Although his body aches, he pays no mind, instead enjoying the refreshing feeling of her against him, like old times.

Palm moving to the back of his neck as he closed the distance, she leaned up into him, shifting slightly so they could both be more comfortable.
It was all overwhelming. His scent, taste, and warmth, among other things, all teasing and tugging at her senses, one leg hooking around to the back of his leg to pull him closer.
Just like old times.
Only this time, they were all alone, no distractions, or fears holding them back... Just eachother. Currently, blissful was an understatement and her anger was long forgotten.

All mental exhastion is pushed aside for this moment, though his body fills in on complaining. He presses into her and deeper into the kiss, ignoring the numbing in his legs from leaning like this on his knees. His right hand raises to her face and grazes his knuckles down her cheek before he pulls away, eyes still closed.
Not looking in the best of shape, he opens his eyes slightly to look upon her again. His shoulders drop, the tips of his wings bending against the surface as if looking for somewhere to rest against. It's plain to see how wiped out the bird Simu is, even with the lessened light.
"Sorry.." he mumbles, his hand dropping away from her face along with his retreating motion.
