R’nd was a bit slower in surfacing thanks to that kick to his stomach. He had doubled over from the pain with the breath he held coming out in a gasp as his now empty arms circled around the offended area. Kerrin was spirited, he knew that and would even label him as feisty at times but the kick had been completely unexpected. It was more the need to vent his anger at the entire attack than the lack of air his lungs now held that finally sent R’nd surfacing, though it was the issue of breathing he had to deal with first.
He came up with a cough, followed by another thanks to having swallowed a bit of water somewhere in the midst of their struggle. Lovely, now he could add stomach pains and choking on water to the list of injuries that sevenday had brought him which had thus far only contained fading bruises from his time with B’jin. When had his gorgeous day turned so rotten? Oh, right, when Kerrin forgot how to take a joke! With a frustrated sputter, R’nd brushed back the dripping mess he would later call hair when it was properly styled once more and narrowed his gaze on the brat that was close to losing friendship status, “what is your problem?!” He grabbed at Kerrin’s arm, intent on dragging him back to the shore where they could properly duke it out since it seemed that was going to be the only way to appease the kid.
Still on his rock but wide awake now, Ayyonth stretched, rising to his feet, and kept a watchful eye on the men. Their fighting was somewhat of a normal occurrence but this time was beginning to make him a bit anxious and he felt it was time to intervene, doing so by speaking solely to R’nd. Keep calm, R’nd. Kerrin is a friend. He’s angry and has a lot on his mind. Let him vent.
“Stay out of this, Ayyonth,” he spoke aloud for Kerrin’s benefit though he didn’t deserve that honour. Still, R’nd listened to his dragon’s sound advice, and released his hold on Kerrin, turning his back on the man so he could slosh his way back to the shoreline to find his towel.
