Seeing R’dal wipe at his eyes had F’drel’s anger spiking again. What did he have to cry about? Being an idiot? That couldn’t be news to the bluerider. And what the fuck was he apologizing for? Making assumptions based on nothing? Was he pitying him? F’drel didn’t really have time to think on it before R’dal was hugging him, and F’drel was about to say something cutting when he realized could feel the boat shifting beneath them. There was a split second where he knew they were going to tip before they were in the water and all his anger was driven out by panic, along with all the air in his lungs. He couldn’t swim.
His first instinct was to grab onto something, anything, so F’drel wrapped his arms as tightly as he could around R’dal, as the bluerider was the first solid thing he could find. In his panic F’drel didn’t think that maybe he was dragging R’dal down or preventing him from keeping himself above the water. There was only the fear of drowning.
As soon as the fear hit Halomirth through their bond she shot forward through the water to reach F’drel and his friend, thankfully already fairly close to them. Grab on! she told her rider, placing her head alongside them to provide something to hold onto. But F’drel barely processed the instructions, too overwhelmed for them to make sense. He was grabbing on, wasn’t he? He was holding very tightly. Miri thrashed her tail, not sure why she wasn’t getting through.
Grab on! she pleaded this time including R’dal in the request hoping he would help F’drel, Please! F’drel’s fear was compounding with her own and the green was quickly becoming distraught, her eyes whirling a bright yellow, almost white. Thankfully for everyone involved, R’dal seemed to get the idea and it was only a few more long, tense moments before Halomirth was pulling the two humans with her back towards the shore and Edath, the overturned boat forgotten.
