(( in relation to giant squid battles, I do find it kind of silly that it's not actually doing anything other than well just sitting there and being slowly beaten to death XD not that I'm complaining or anything, just not the most interesting encounter to read, while Xarces himself continues to be completely unaware of it's existence. ))<br/><br/>With Misha in his arms, and Ryla by his side, Xarces hardly notices the chill of the ocean spray as they make their way away from the blazing fire, heading on towards the water's edge where they shall reunite with the swiftwind, as the cabins of the ship where a much more suitable place for Misha to rest and recover, let alone a better place to keep Odette.<br/><br/>With his wing around the kitsune at his side, Xarces smiles over at her "Oh I can believe it, I came across a few of it's dangerous while out gathering information, course with you at my side we'll be able to better steer clear of them." his wing giving her a brief little hug, as Xarces raises a brow "An angry minotaur girl? Oh my....that could be an issue..." he says with a little snicker at discovering the reason for her anger. Pinning Misha against his body, Xarces reaches out to place a hand gently against Ryla's tum "Her partner....I think i met her, or rather I met what remained of her after your tummy had it's way." he grins, giving her belly the slightest of rubs. "She was quite soft....and rather clingy, a bit of a mess if you ask me." he continues with a chuckle as his words could just as easily have been used to describe an actual person, yet in this case it was describing the mush said person had become.<br/><br/>Xarces does little to prevent Ryla from wiggling from his wing when she decides to do so, he pulling it back against his body, while his hand returns to aiding in supporting the frame of the harpy. His eyes drinking in the sight of her as she walks away, gleaming mischievously as a grin spreads across his face. "Oh I'll do more than just watch your back darling...." his eyes immediately drawn to her shapely rear, and the curve of her hips as she wiggles before him, the tip of his tongue running across the edge of his lips at the sight of her upper thighs, his mind at work, imagining what beauty must lie beneath that cute little skirt. Of course as she approaches Odette, he would get an idea, for she was quite naked and exposed, her clothing having not received the same healing treatments as her body.<br/><br/>A smile graces the bard's lips as they reach the water's edge, he witnessing the offered cloak for the poor woman. Nodding approvingly to Ryla he adds "We'll have you back in a warm cabin in no time Odette, just hang in there a little longer." Xarces spreading his wings, testing the wind as he looks onward out over the choppy water. He'd flown in worse before after all, surely he'd be able to make the trip to the deck of the swiftwind, where he could safely secure a place for the harpy before returning for Odette.<br/><br/>(( won't actually do any flying until CassyInko's question is answered, but essentially he wants to get Misha to the boat as apposed to endlessly carrying her around, or simply leaving her on the rocks.))
