Emiri watched Wesley climb the tree rather nervously. She kept an eye on its roots, lest the tree get uprooted and he fall in, too. Or the branch could break. Or he slipped off. Or he wouldn't be able to pull Nadeline up and end up getting dragged in as well. Now she mildly regretted brushing off Nadeline's concerns, and got as close to the edge of land as possible. Should Wesley fall, she would (hopefully) be able to grab him and (hopefully) drag him to the bank. She watched Nadeline come through, taking note that her blonde head kept bobbing up and down as the river carried her along. It looked like she [i]did[/i] know how to swim. That or the river kept tossing her around like a rag doll. Either way she was somehow managing to keep her head above the water. Hopefully she was still conscious. Meanwhile Nadeline struggled, cursing her luck as she tried to keep her head above the water. Sometimes she could touch the rivers floor, other times she found herself sinking and unable to get back up. She could swear there were monsters just swimming past her like it was nothing, and once again cursed the water and sky for raining. She thought she spotted the trio chasing after her, but as she was dragged down into the water again, she wasn't quite sure. This way and that she was tossed and turned, and if she wasn't already swallowing enough water to provide a pond, she was certain she would have probably thrown up. As her head broke the water's surface once more, she saw Wesley reaching out for her. She reached out for his hand, clasping it before her hand slipped off his. She panicked, and with her other arm managed to get a better grip, clasping his hand with both of hers. "[b][color=f6989d]Whatever happens, don't let go![/color][/b]" She heard Emiri yell out to her. "[b][color=fdc68a]Oh no, I was quite enjoying drowning and practically dying![/color][/b]" She yelled back rather sarcastically. It was at this point Emiri turned to Jaakuna, trying very hard not to laugh, but ended up losing it. "[b][color=f6989d]The irony is too much, let's make sure Wesley doesn't fall in, too.[/color][/b]" She said between laughs.
