Xavier wasn't much help for pulling himself up, he hung with dead weight and couldn't seem to help by pulling himself up. He was just so darn cold. As Whetu pulled him up he glanced down at the silver mermaid. He couldn't believe he was alive and in one piece all because of her, it was such a strange situation. "Thank you.." He murmured before Whetu pulled him over the edge. "Just scratches." He replied, unable to comment on the favor the gods had showed him. It was certainly the strangest situation he had been in a while and he felt genuinely surprised and fortunate to be alive. "I-I'm freezing though. That water is ice." He said, followed by one last fit of coughs to clear his lungs.

Wow thanks Kevin you're the coolest~
I kind of think Kain too, since he is more logical and probably would make better choices than Xavier who is smart but not as rational, plus Xavier would be stressed with more responsibility he's good just being a homie they're too much alike haha

Camilla's face registered the shock more than she intended it too, maybe even her hurt was visible too. She was never one to hide her emotions though and this guy had really managed to piss her off. She slapped a hand across his cheek, hard enough to hurt, not enough to bruise and she stood. "Listen buddy, you don't know me or what I've been through, but you say something to me like that again and were going to have a big problem." She snapped, uncharacteristically harsh for her usual sweet, mild mannered self. She wasn't sure why Whetu picked this guy, he might be just as bad as Kain. She stood and pulled on her coat, normally plump pink lips set in an angry line. "I'm going to check on them, if you feel the need to escort me then do so." With that, she pushed passed him towards the upper deck.

Kain it is ~ Whetu can have a little heart-to-heart with him later 'bro be my right hand' 'leave me alone whetu' )
She shrugged off her coat and slapped it around his wet shoulders, "No offense, but you kinda look like a drowned rat." She admitted, wishing they'd bothered to keep the fire more stocked. Hooking up one of the blankets they'd brought out with her feet, she made a makeshift hair turban for him, the kind long haired folk used when they were getting out of the shower, fussing vaguely like a mother hen (a pirate mother hen with no heart). She kept giving him little pats on his arms and back, as if checking if all of him was there, and a giddy smile broke her face in elated happiness, "You're not dead." She spluttered, half laugh half exclamation, "Man, I thought you were dead." She laughed out loud then, "Gods above Xavier, seriously, I thought you'd died!" She pulled him into a brief, strong hug, maybe a little rough considering he'd just been mauled by vicious sea creatures.

(Yes <3 tbh that's probably how the conversation will go lol) Whetu is a mother hen!!)
Xavier wasn't sure if he was shaking so much from the cold, or the shock of having almost been literally consumed by vicious mermaids. He decided he would go with the cold if anyone asked, he didn't need anyone thinking he was afraid or didn't still live for this quest. "I feel like a drowned rat. Not to say I don't still look better than you." He winked, a wide grin on his face which was a few shades paler than his normal skin tone, his lips blue. He pulled the coat tight around him, eager for any warmth it could provide as Whetu circled around him, the same bright grin plastered on her face. "Honestly can't believe it either. I really thought I was done for."

Though the soft fabric of his mask cushioned the blow, it was far from enough to stop him from feeling it. He was silent as he watched the doctor go, quiet anger-the deadliest kind-welling up inside him. Perhaps he'd been a touch too, what was the word, harsh? Yes, perhaps, though how dare she slap him. A pretty face and keen mind were not going to be near enough to stave off his wrath. It may not rear its ugly head for quite some time, but show up it would. Oh yes, it would. The thief blinked once, letting out a heavy breath through his nostrils as he tried to force such thoughts of revenge to dissipate, they'd do no good on a confined ship. He was not that kind of man either, no matter what his ego may be telling him. Trying to focus on something, anything, save for his brooding thoughts, he followed her after she'd taken a few steps. The ship's doctor should hope there was nothing lurking in the dark.

honestly yes!!!! she's much more like her own mother then she'll admit lol im cr ying i was drawing kain for the 60 pose thing and s&m by Rihanna came on i am d e a d )
"You, are one lucky skunk." She gave his nose a gentle flick, still laughing, "And maybe you don't want to insult my appearance seeing as I just hauled your sorry body out of the ocean and gave you my favourite coat to get sea water all over." She gave his arms a brisk rub as she spoke, years of sailing had taught her that the cold was as deadly as any blade or bullet. The best thing for Xavier now was another person's warmth, it didn't escape her that he was shaking like a leaf. He looked rattled, more then he'd like to let on surely, but she didn't blame him. Whetu had had her own past scrapes of falling into the oceans (including a very unpleasant one involving the dreaded eels) and knew how quickly the ocean switches from friend to foe, "Maybe we pushed it with all that talk about falling in."

(Oh, Camilla doesn't have to worry too much, Ralif's not gonna do anything bad. XD Just trying to describe a momentary flare of temper is all. See you soon!) (By the way, Sappho, I was meaning to make some sort of mention of it, but where would be a good place on the map for Aureth's island? Just for when these guys end up on it whenever you'd like that. They've gotta be dumb and tread those Leviathan waters after all lol)

"You're right Whetu, thanks for pulling me up." Xavier said sincerely. He really and been convinced hew as going to die and he wasn't sure he was as ready for that yet as he liked to claim he was. He still wouldn't back down from danger, but he maybe wasn't as prepared for death as he liked to tell himself. "I think we most certainly jinxed it." He agreed with a slightly frown as a shrug as if to say oh well. He was grateful for her warmth, though he still couldn't seem to warm up enough to stop the violent shaking and teeth chattering.
Camilla tossed her hair over one shoulder and pulled her coat tighter as she ascended the stairs, her cheeks still flushed with anger and expression dangerous. Slapping Ralif hadn't necessarily made her feel better, but it didn't make her feel any worse so she took it as satisfying. She saw Whetu and Xavier as soon as she reached the top of the deck and could tell immediately by their proximity and the ridiculous wrap on Xavier's head that he had gone overboard. She quickened her pace, question on her lips that would have to wait since he was shaking badly. "Gods, how are you not fish food?" She asked as she approached. "You need to take your clothes off." She said quickly and as Xavier opened his mouth for a sly comment, grin already on his lips, she rolled her eyes. "They're keeping you from warming up, they're soaking wet. You need to take them off and bundle up."

Ralif narrowed his good eye as he reached the deck only a few steps behind Camilla, immediately reaching the same conclusion that she had regarding Xavier's, adventure, over the side of the ship. "She's right." Already his cloak, made from thick cloth that would keep Xavier warm, was taken off and in his hands, held out to the other man. Another debt to be repaid, but it stung him. He loved his clothes, and they hadn't been easy to get, nor were they cheap. "Much as I'm sure you'd love to show off, do keep in mind you've been in freezing cold water." His tone held a sarcastic note, he was obviously only kidding this time around. He was entirely ignoring Camilla past acknowledging her expertise, not wishing to stir any further conflict.

what about an island between Kydos and Scaii Shen? That way we would be able to get to it soon enough c: )
"You guys missed a quality night out here." The Captain beamed, hands on her hips. She was glad to see how quickly Camilla fell into taking charge, it was reassuring. "We nearly died, Xavier in particular." Then she remembered the white mermaid and crossed the deck, peering over, "There was a white mermaid," she squinted into the darkness, one hand on her gun. What was this creature's game? Was she gone, or was this just Whetu's lack of night vision? "Saved his bacon. At least, we think so. I've never heard anything like a mermaid saving someone." She said, some of her good mood slipping. She was glad Xavier was alive, but she had to remember to take this with a grain of salt. You're the Captain, act like it.

"Me, show off? You must be mistaken for another man." Xavier said playfully and gratefully accepted the warm cloak. Camilla didn't even offer Ralif a glance, she was still angry and would rather not acknowledge his existence. She busied herself by checking Xavier for wounds as he removed his shirt and pants, she allowed him to keep his undergarments on per request since it wouldn't make a huge difference on keeping him warm. Scratches covered his body, buth they were shallow and thin so they posed no cause for concern, all but the one on his calf. "This ones deep and jagged which means it's going to need stitches and disinfectant." She said and pulled her own flashy fur coat off and put it over his shoulders. With the help of all three of their coats Xavier's shaking had turned less violent and his lips less blue. She looked up and frowned slight in surprise. She had never heard of a mermaid saving anyone before. "She saved him from the others and brought him back? Wow that's a first. You must be one special guy." She teased then gave Whetu a concerned look. "Do you think they're still here?"

Whetu didn't look back from leaning over the edge, "I don't know. They're very quiet." For some reason, she really would've preferred it if they were a bit louder. "There must have been plenty of them, they rocked the boat." It wasn't the largest ship, but it was still a ship, still huge compared to any humanoid creature she could think of. "Xavier, go inside for the Gods sake. You'll have Kain on the run soon for the title of world's coldest person." He had a multitude of layers on now, and still that wrap on his hair, but he'd need a hot drink and warm socks on before the captain felt anymore at ease. The last thing they needed right now was for a good member to be incapacitated with the cold.

It was for the best that Ralif and Camilla were ignoring each other, there were much more pressing matters at hand than the petty squabble which had arisen. "Well, for all our sakes let's hope that they're not smart enough to be planning something." He had no idea what to think of Xavier being saved by a mermaid of all things, but his thoughts were currently attuned to keeping everyone in this gods-forsaken mess alive. "You two should probably make your way below deck, I can take over up here." Somehow earplugs had already found their way to him, and his gun was drawn in case of a further attack. "That wound needs taken care of after all."

Xavier rolled his eyes, but wasn't about to complain, he was warmer, but still freezing and he didn't think he would be much help anymore. "Alright, Alright. If the mermaids come back don't shoot the silver one. I owe her big time." He said and gave them both pointed looks before he allowed Camilla to help him to his feet. Camilla wrapped an arm around him as they headed towards the stairs. She looked back and called over her shoulder, "I'll send Kain or Sonal up too just to be extra careful." She said before disappearing below deck to help Xavier warm up. She didn't think Ralif would do anything stupid, but she didn't trust him now, he had lost that privilege and the idea of Whetu being alone with him didn't sit well with her at all.

"You know best, doc." She nodded, glancing over at her. It was nice to have a level head around that she felt she could trust - everyone else on this ship was either too sly for their own good or an absolute mess. Well, except for Conall. At least he kept himself clean every day. "Send up Kain, will you?" She asked, something had been playing on her mind of late, and night was always a good time for a meaningful discussion, "I need a word with our resident vampire." Was Kain even asleep? Or had he been awake, listening to gun shots all night? She guessed the others were sound asleep: she'd traveled with Sonal long enough to know that the women slept like the logs she used to haul, and everything about Coran screamed an early bed time. She'd hedge her bets on Kain either a) being wide awake or ![B)](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/FCb_E4d8JMUDG3m8s9xv.gif) murdering everyone on the ship for waking him up out of his night's sleep.

"Will do!" Camilla called then helped Xavier down the stairs to the sleeping quarters. She was still worried even though he was most certainly getting better, but hypothermia was no light matter. "Here." She pulled a piece of dried beef from her bag "chew on this, I'm going to stitch you up." She said and put another blanket around him as she rummaged through her medical bag for her stitching kit. Once she located it among various other supplies she glanced over to see if Kain was awake, only to find him staring. "Nasty run in with the mermaids?" He commented nonchalantly. "Yes, Xavier here barely escaped with his life. Ralif is up there with Whetu now, she wants you to head up." Camilla replied as she began applying numbing and disinfectant alcohol to Xavier's leg, who hid his winces as he chewed the beef jerky. Kain got up, he hadn't really been asleep anyway, he had a bad case of insomnia, and pulled on his dark coat before he headed up the deck. He spotted the two and gave a slight nod. "Nice night." He commented, as if there hadn't been mermaids trying to eat them.

"It's so much nicer now that you're up here." She battered her eyelashes at him, turning around so that her back leaned against the railing. He didn't look like he'd been hauled out of a deep slumber, which was good, he was hard enough to get a conversation out of as it was, without making him grumpy before. Xavier's loaded gun was on the deck where he'd dropped it as he'd gone overboard, and she gently stepped on the handle until it flipped up the barrel into her hand. Passing it to Kain, as you never know when those mermaids might rear their ugly faces, she used her thumb over her shoulder to indicate to the inky sea, "If you see a brilliantly white one: don't shoot. She saved our lanky friend's bacon. Other then that, go crazy, because these little buggers have really given us quite a night."

Ralif had been quiet while watching the exchange between the three other crew members, wishing to study them and how they acted. Plus with Camilla still so obviously angered at him, there was no real reason for him to be speaking. When Kain came on deck he returned the nod with one of his own, not so affected by dreams of grandeur as to bow. "Already our adventure begins with excitement and wonder, no small amount of mystery with that mermaid either." His voice was a river of sarcasm, a tone that might well have been his default. "But in all seriousness, captain, what's the reason? I can't say I've much experience in matters of the ocean." He wasn't a sailor, but wanted to adapt quickly.
