A frown briefly crossed Rain's face as she listened to Andromeda talk about the spell, she made a mental note to question the mermaid about that particular spell. [color=skyblue]"We'll have to ask what it was she cast, especially if it hurt you that much"[/color] the werewolf said rather matter of factly as Andro took a deep breath before answering her question fully. Rain dipped her head in acknowledgement for the thanks and was clearly relieved to hear that Andromeda was holding up okay, the werewolf couldn't smell any injuries on her but she was also smart enough to know pain was an easy thing to hide if the wound wasn't physical. Feeling Andromeda's eyes look her over Rain straightened up a little and raised a curious eyebrow at the other woman when she returned her question. She had to admit she was a little...surprised by it, though in a way it made a nice change [color=skyblue]"No long term damage, I'm fine. Thank you"[/color] she replied politely, her shoulder ached a little but overall her body hadn't suffered much damage at all during the move style rescue of Ryuu. Whilst Rain was talking to Andromeda her ears twitched every so often as she also caught snippets of Maruki and Kailani's conversation...not that she could understand any of it which frustrated her to no end. Catching sight of the shimmering glow coming from the pair, Rain's entire body tensed and she turned to watch as what little she could see of Kailani was lifted up onto the boat. The werewolf turned so that she could keep both the sea snake and mermaid in her sights, right up until the point that the blue shimmer dissipated tor reveal Kailani. Rain's eyebrows lifted in surprise and her full attention turned to their aquatic guest [color=lightseagreen][i]...check your jaw Rain[/i][/color] with the thought Rain subtly lifted a hand up to her chin to make sure she hadn't gone slack jawed, though her lips had parted slightly she hadn't thankfully. A frown edged into her expression as Kailani gave them an awkward smile and went on to introduce herself and Maruki, her eyebrow hitched up as she turned to see the sea snake gnawing on his own tail. Though she realised he was trying to remove the crystal, watching him for a few moments even after Kailani coughed and continued to speak, the werewolf narrowed her eyes at the crystal on the snakes tail and lifted her hand away from the rail purposefully causing her claws to slide up from the tips of her fingers she glanced down at them in wonderment until Kail's question caught her attention. The werewolf turned back to look at her at the wrong time catching sight of the pleading glance, she grit her teeth together and huffed. [color=lightseagreen][i]Say what? Down there?[/i][/color] Rain glanced over the side of the ship at the watery tomb below them and felt her stomach turn, she'd never had positive relations with the water. [hider=Memoirs of the Sun][i] [color=yellow]"Look its not that difficult, we'll go down to the shallow part"[/color] Piper assured a nervous Rain, the blonde woman folded her arms across her chest as she looked out over the edge of the plateau they were stood on. Looking to the left Rain took in the steady fountain that seemed to spew directly out of the chiseled rock face, before splashing into a dozen or more ledges and crevices as it crawled down the rough stone to filter into the deep blue lagoon below. From where she stood approximately five metres above the glistening azure blue water, Rain couldn't see the bottom even with her enhanced eyesight. She could tell it was deep by the change in the waters color, around the edges of the lagoon the water was clearer and the shine of the golden sand below was easy to see, the closer to the center you went the darker the water became. Rain shuffled closer to the edge of the plateau to stare down into the depths below [color=skyblue]"I've told you before that I hate this idea right?"[/color] she grumbled. [color=yellow]"So many times I've lost count"[/color] Piper responded as an amused smile lit up her face, though the amusement drained from her face as the heavy thud of footsteps reached their ears. Shock leaked into Piper's expression as Rain turned to investigate the noise, however before she could something hard and heavy smashed into her back, knocking the wind out of her and propelling her straight off of the edge of the plateau [color=yellow]"Rain!!"[/color] The blue haired werewolf remembered the sensation of falling through the air as if it were yesterday, the fear that constricted her chest painfully as the beautiful azure water rushed up to meet her, eager to welcome her into its watery embrace.[/i] [/hider] [color=lightseagreen][i]Transform us? Nothing is ever simple...[/i][/color] Rain thought bitterly as she watched the mermaid...if she could still be called that walk over to the front of the boat and make herself comfortable. The werewolf hopped down off of the railing and finally released the rope, she lifted her hands up to run her fingers through her damp hair and pushed it back from her face as she thought over all of the information they had been given [color=lightseagreen][i]Think about the bigger picture...helping them will ultimately help this cause, but it will cause us to deviate from our prime mission...helping them means putting people at risk and looking after the serpent that has just tried to kill us all. Helping them puts me at risk especially. Is this logical or heroic?[/i][/color] Whilst she pondered the werewolf felt her eyes wander to Kailani, she couldn't help it despite the blue eyes Kailani physically reminded her of someone she used to know. Biting her lip Rain turned to look for Vikki, once she caught sight of her she turned to Andromeda [color=skyblue]"I need to talk to Vikki, take it easy but stay alert"[/color] she murmured with a quick wink before she walked around the other woman and headed towards the top deck where their armed leader stood. Instead of climbing the ladder however Rain crouched low to the ground before agilely leaping up into the air, landing with a soft clang on the railing, with ease she walked along the railing until she could lean back against the side of the ship, though she kept Vikki in her sights she was obviously watching Kailani and Maruki perhaps the former a little more than the latter. [color=skyblue]"Not sure about you, but I didn't see that coming"[/color] she stated [color=skyblue]"I'm not used to asking this but what's your plan of action here?"[/color] Rain added, looking towards Vikki as their situation wasn't as obviously desperate as before the werewolf had clearly calmed down and forced herself back into check so to speak. Whilst she waited for Vikki's answer her eyes instinctively roamed the deck checking over her 'pack' members as they steadily recovered from Maruki's assault and kept tags on the newcomers.
