He coughed, water coming from his mouth as he inhaled sharply, basically gasping for the air he was depraved of previously. His eyes opened slowly like he was in a daze, "Who are you?" he coughed quietly, somehow still overly curious as always.
Moxiey ignored the question, keeping her tail out of the picture for now. "Are you okay?" she asked, smoothing his hair gently.
“Uh. Um yeah I think so,” he lifted a hand to his forehead, he stared at the blood on his fingertips but didn’t seemed worried, “It’s not that bad I missed any major bleed points,” he looked down and wiggles his toes, “My circulation is fine it just needs pressure,”
Moxiey realized that at this point, he would be fine enough to see her tail. She bit her lip. "So, you'll be fine?"
"Yeah, I will," he tried to focus his blurry vision enough to see her face, "Y-You saved me though,"
She blushed. "It was nothing…"
"It would have cost me my life so thank you,"
"You're welcome," she replied, looking into his eyes. She'd never stopped smoothing his hair.
There was something about her, something different that he still couldn't figure out, he tried to sit up a little and winced as he did so. "Who are you?"
"No," she said, pushing him back down gently. "You'll hurt yourself if you try to sit up."
"I'm sure I will be okay. Can I least know your name?" He was beginning to see how she avoided the question of 'who are you?'
"Moxiey," she revealed.
“And what are you doing alone on the rocks?” He asked with slight concern. “What if you slip into the water like I did?”
"I… I was singing."
Elijah laughed, "I heard, it was beautiful but isn't it dangerous to be all alone out here?"
"No, you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine," Moxiey said quickly.
"If you're so sure…" his eyes were finally allowing him to focus as he looked into her eyes, "Your hair is a cool color,"
"Oh. Thanks," she said, smiling shyly.
"Do you live around here?"
"Uh, yeah. Pretty close." She wasn't lying…
"I've never seen you before, trust me I'd remember a face like yours," he said, attempting to sit up again.
She pushed him down again. "Uh… well… I'm not from a very well-known city."
"Really? Where from?" he looked around, slightly annoyed at she wouldn't let him get up when his eyes stopped, "Wait what's that?" he tried to sit up just a little to see her tail.
Moxiey flicked her tail out of sight, noticing his gaze. "Nothing."
"No wait what was that? It was definitely something," It wasn't just that he hit his head right? It was something.
