I mean I guess that makes sense . . .

Aerol didn't exactly want to kill anyone.

"Lower the kayak," she called.

First slowly lowers the kayak, the arrow still resting on her bow. "Please dont shoot?" she says somewhat sadly, and resigned, almost expecting a crossbow quarrel to slam into her, her body stiff.

@Through The Living Glass

Whoa. She actually did it.

And she's really lucky I don't want to kill her.

Aerol lowered her crossbow slightly.

"Put the bow down!"

The Greenspine growled, then inhaled to steal the Aviar's Investiture.

Bird squawked in shock but, loyal as any Aviar, dove at the Greenspine's already injured eye while Maj ran across the beach, circling around the island (Not the whole thing obviously) Instead of going into the forest.

Aerol lowered her crossbow slightly.

"Put the bow down!"

"No" she yells out. "I have risked enough already", she cracks her eyes open, seeing the threat of the crossbow decreasing. "You put your weapon down first, then I will"

@Through The Living Glass

Aerol didn't trust that.

Then again, the other girl had completely exposed herself already . . .

Aerol put the crossbow down.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

First watched as the crossbow was lowered, more tension easing out of her body. Still dangerous with a quarrel in it. She thinks to herself, having seen them in action before. She lowers her own bow, confident with her ability to shoot however. "Now we both take quarrels or arrows out" she says questioningly

Aerol took the bolt out of the crossbow.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

First lets the arrow slip from its notch on the bow, storing it back into the quiver on her back. Before walking a bit closer. "My name is First, what is ours?"

"I-I'm Aerol." She slipped one of the knives into her boot, just in case. It wasn't visible to First.

Aerol stood up cautiously.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

First feels her jumper, which she had cut a small hole into, and a knife not rest within. Still there. She lets out a small sigh. "Nice to meet you" she says, putting her hand out.

@Through The Living Glass

Aerol did not move to shake First's hand.

"What do you want?" She said gruffly.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

"I want someone who can look after themselves in the arena, and help me kill others." she says, her own voice changing slightly, catching the tone in the other girls voice. Letting her hand drop.

Huh.

"Do you want to actively look for people to kill?" Aerol asked her.

"Do you want to actively look for people to kill?" Aerol asked her.

"Somewha" First says, her tone indicating her uncertainty. 'I dont want to be a monster hunting her prey, but I dont want to be the prey either, if you get what I mean" she glances at the other girl.

@Through The Living Glass

Aerol supposed that was fair enough.

"Makes sense," she said. Reef hopped over and around First, chittering.

"Where's your Aviar?"

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

First gives a whistle, and her aviar fly's over.  "Who's a good boy" she says, stroking its plumage. "I haven't got a name for him yet, but after a dream I had last night, I am thinking "Dream" the bird stands up taller, and she feels a something in the connection between them, a deepening perhaps. She shrugs off the thought, but a few lessons of connection flit through her mind. I think our connection just deepened, or grew. She smiles to herself.

"Cute. This is Reef," Aerol gestured to Reef, who had buried his head in a hole in the sand. She rolled her eyes.

She turned back to First, "Look, I need to find someone back on the main island. You wanna come?"

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

"Uhhh, Sure" First says, somewhat surprised with the forthrightness. Surely she would have kept something a secret, people always do. Like that....person called my stepmother Her mind turns jaded, and she shakes her head, trying to dislodge the memories, but photographic memories do odd stuff to your brain. She glances at Reef, there head in the sand. "Odd behaviour" she comments. Going back, and picking up her kayak, dropping the paddle on her foot. "Rust and Ruin" she curses underneath her breath.

Welp, okay then, Aerol thought as First gathered her things. She finished packing her own, and pushed her kayak out to the water.

Reef strained with his head in the sand, as if he were stuck.

"Hang on, buddy," Aerol said, reaching to help.

Reef's head suddenly snapped back, and in his beak was a small crab, about the size of Aerol's thumb. He promptly ate it.

"Huh."

She pushed her kayak into the water, got on, and they were off.

Spoiler

@Unintelligenius your character probably would have heard most of what was going on via Aerol's thoughts, so let's just assume Evan knows about First now.

 

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

First launches her own kayak, pushing it into the water gently, trying not to make much sound or movements. She paddles up towards Aerol, "So who are we going to find?" she says queryingly

Uh . . .

"A friend of sorts."

Reef landed on her head and squawked playfully at the other Aviar.

Y'all, I think Reef is my spirit animal.

First stiffens, noticing the select choice of words. What is she hiding from me. "oh ok" Dream squawks from her shoulder, and moves to the tip of her ship, chirping playfully at the other Aviar.

Aerol didn't say anything more, just kept paddling.

"No no, the black goop turned into a little ball then disintegrates, the bird it fine. I think. Actually if a bird is coughing up weird black goop is it really okay?" Evan continues his hike up the mountain now ignoring the bird because it offered no benefit to him. 

He starts looking out for any thing that could potential be edible. @Ancient Elantrian
