[i]the creature shrieks in pain as its eye gets it retreats for the moments under the water.
The however mermaid was in bad shape as she clearly was in pain as she wimpered as he held her. The mermaid was covered in very angry looking suckers marks from the creatures attack. She speaks very quietly in broken English as best that she can. [/i]
"T-thank..you... but..body..hurts.. tail..broken..."she says
English

*Crossbow nods as he puts his finger to his mouth, as if to say to keep quiet as a shadowy portal opens in front of him. He grabs her carefully and swims her through it, landing them both on an island. He gently lays her down and starts hacking down a branch with a machete on his side* We should be safe for now. Right now I'm making you a splint for your tail. if you can tell me where you came from and if you are still able to sort of swim without your tail I can bring you back home.

[i]the mermaid started to cry and shook her head. She had nothing to go back too.[/i] "No..there's..n-n-nothing..left..all.. dead..it..killed..them.."she says [i]she seemed to be pretty broken up about the whole thing as she wiped tears. She had suffered a great deal. [/i] "I..too..painful..to..go..back..."she says
-
*Cross looks back at her a moment* Well I'm sorry to hear that
-
"..i'll..be..fine..in..time"she says [i]she wipes more tears from her eyes.[/i]
-
*He continues making the splint for her* You know, if I bring you to the Dojo I can help you heal faster.
-
"Does...it..have..water..nearby..can.. only..last..couple..days..without..it.. "she says [i]she watches him make the splint for her tail as she sat there.[/i]
-
Yes, it has a nice lake, and there are some more mer people there too that can help you adjust
-
"Oh...okay..then..it...sounds..nice" says the mermaid
-
Yes, it is *He finishes the splint and walks over*
-
[i]she is still sitting as she watched him approach her.[/i]
-
*He sits down next to her, getting ready to put it on her, lifting her tail slightly* If I may ask, how were you able to survive in that water in the first place? Given the Latitude there it must be pretty cold
-
"I...can survive there...it..not..bother me"she says
-
*Cross nods as he works with putting the splint on her* Right. does this feel too tight on you?
-
"No its not too tight"she says [i]she watches him put the splint on her tail. She holds completely still when he does.[/i]
-
Hmm. Good. *He takes a moment to adjust it, then backs up* How does that feel?
-
"It feels fine "she says
-
Good. Now, I'm going to bring you to the dojo to recover. That... Thing shouldn't be there
-
"Okay just becareful if you pick me up tail still hurts a bit"she says [i]she really hoped so cause it had frightened her greatly.[/i]
-
Alright, I'll be careful. *A shadowy portal opens up behind him as he walks up, gently picking her up*
-
[i]she holds completely still as he picks her up.[/i] "Oh okay"she says
-
*He holds her a moment, adjusting before walking into the portal, arriving at the dojo lake.*
-
[i]she still isn't moving as he carries her not wanting him to drop her.[/i]
-
*He stands at the edge, then slowly lowers her down, laying her down so her tail is in the water but the rest of her body above it*
-
"Thank you "she says [i]she sits in the water but she sees someone walking up and its leyla but she doesn't know that.[/i] "W-who...she.."she says
-
*Crossbow looks up, seeing Leyla* Oh, hey there Leyla. This is Leyla, one of the half mer, half dragon people here.
