At the waters that splashed into the edge of the cave, the water started to become disturbed. Kassy's head jerked toward the sound, pulling up an invisible shield in a moment's notice. She and Charlie vanished instantly. The surface of the water broke as a head poked out. Curious blue eyes scanned the cave. 

Kassy smiled brightly and lowered the shield- but only partially. Charlie was still hidden. "Leo! I'm here!"

The rest of the man's head popped out of the water, to his shoulders. "Kassy! You haven't called for me that way in a while. Is everything okay?" He looked worried. "I didn't know what to expect, so I brought help." Someone else popped out of the water- a woman, with deep purple curls and eyes like emeralds. 

"Oh, Bianca!" Kassy's smile flickered, but only slightly. "You're here?" 

Bianca smiled. "Well, I wasn't about to let my husband swim into danger alone. What's going on?"

Kassy breathed out nervously. "Well- you're about to find out." She let the rest of the spell fall away, revealing the little human in her arms. Leo's eyebrows went way up. Bianca's mouth dropped open, and she was the first to speak. 

"Is that... a human?"

"Yes." Kassy nodded, idly smoothing the boy's hair. "His name is Charlie. I got caught in a fisher's net, and he saved me... But he's all alone and quite ill... I need help."

Leo looked less surprised than his wife. He knew what Kassy was like- gentle and giving to a fault. "...what sort of help do you need?"
