As soon as Aurion got into the canoe he realized his mistake. He hadn't checked to see who was in it first, and unfortunately for him it was another elf of the opposite sex. Aurion tried to ball himself up in the small canoe by bringing his knees to his chest and hunching over. His arms crossing his body. Aurion turned his head and looked out to sea in order to avoid eye contact with her and a potential conversation. It wasn't that he disliked her, in fact she was rather attractive, but he was too shy, embarrassed, and ashamed to interact with anyone. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her looking at him in a lewd manner, he tried his best to pretend she wasn't there.<br/>Then the abrupt sound of rock scratching against wood broke the silence followed by the elf shouting that they needed to jump and swim for safety. Aurion didn't hesitate to do so and jumped into the water after she did. The water was nice and warm, but Aurion didn't have the luxury to bask in its warmth as he swam furiously to get to shore. Making sure not to swim ahead of his guide for obvious reasons.
