(dang, nice roleplaying there cowboy)
Lucas rubbed his side gingerly. There was a large red mark that was bleeding a bit from when he had been hit by a siren's tail. He did his best to ignore it for the time being, looking around for possible shelter.
Flint walks to a small clean lake, he grabs out a flask and fills it. He cleans his wound here then bandages it up. He stands and stretches, preparing to go back to the cave.
Phiri uses the fresh water to clean her and her brothers wounds, and looks at Flint suspiciously as he leaves. So weird…
The water stung, but Lucas knew it would help in the long run. "Phi, where are we going to stay?"
Phiri looked down at her brother and sighed. "I don't know." she said sadly. "But we'll figure it out."
"I'll go look for something." Lucas stood up, wincing a bit before wandering about the island.
"No!" Phiri said, flying over to him. "Your not going anywhere by yourself. You stay with me, and we'll look around the lake trees."
"Okay." Lucas grabbed onto Phiri's hand and walked around. He didn't want to say it, but he felt safer with her there.
Phiri squeezed her brothers hand as they looked for shelter, feeling glad that he was with her. As the patrolled the lake area, she realized that it was all actually very beautiful. "Hey, check this out!" She said, pulling her brother over to an old hollow tree.
"Is it safe?" Lucas peered inside the hole and fell backwards when a bat flew out, startled.
Phiri giggled. "We can make it safe." she said. Then she shot a large gust of wind through the hole, and every creature that lurked inside of it flew out. Checking inside, the entire hollow was bare.
Lucas pulled himself to his feet and brushed the leaves from his clothes. He walked towards the hole, looking in warily.
"Help me get some leaves for cushions." Phiri demanded.
"Yes, ma'am." Lucas went into the forest and came back a couple minutes later with a few scratches, plenty of burrs, and lots of leaves.
Taking the leaves from her brother, Phiri sighed and blew all the burrs off. "Thanks." she muttered, and spread the leaves out in the hollow. "Go wash out your scratches again; we don't want them getting infected." She said gently.
"Yes, Phi." He washed out the scratches with clean water and came back, pulling a couple more burrs from his clothes.
Flint walks back to the cave, he hops down and takes a few steps inside, "Hey, Maristela. It's me Flint"
"I'm curious as to where that pirate went." Phiri wondered aloud. But then she just shrugged it off, glad to be rid of him.
"Hopefully far away from here…" Lucas's wings were still sore from being crushed in the ropes, and he had a feeling he had grown claustrophobic after the bag incident.
Maristela gasps as she hears Flint call her name. "Hi." she whispers. She scans her surroundings cautiously. "They are looking for me."
"Who? The other sirens?" Flint questions, carefully moving further inside the cave.
"Derya. My mother. She leads our gossip. My two sisters, Mira and Sedna, are ruthless. And then there is Tasi, the loner we found when I was little who joined our family. She understands me but still goes along with the group. If my mother or one of my sisters find us, they will definitely kill you." she fiddles with her hair anxiously.
Flint nods, "Right, do you know any places you can hide?"
