After several more greedy gulps of the fresh spring water, Zaer's thirst was finally quenched. Now that he wasn't going to drink anymore, he just sat at the edge of the river, staring at the surface of the water. He was out... so now what? Before the arrest, he had just been wandering wherever he felt like. Going back to that had been his original intention, but things had become much more complicated within the last several hours. He hadn't expected to escape with anyone else. Especially not with such a lovely pair of ladies.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, the fire elf turned his attention to the two of them for the first time since they got to the river, turned to Kayla first, just in time to see the nude Storm elf dive into the pool. He frowned a bit, trying to figure out what to make of her. They had stuck together during their escape out of necessity. It had been clear from the beginning that she didn't really trust Zaer. And why, because he was Fire Tribe? The Fire elf, while feeling no shame in his heritage, often became frustrated when it kept things from going smoothly for him. Some would immediately assume him hostile and cower in fear. Others would attack him on sight. He would just have to wait and see how Kayla would treat him now that they weren't in immediate danger.<br/><br/>A few seconds after Kayla disappeared beneath the surface, he looked over his shoulder back at the other female of the group. She hadn't moved from the spot he had set her, not even to try and get some water. And of all things she was crying! Zaer wasn't very good at emotions, or dealing with other people, so he had no idea what to do now. He supposed the best thing to do would be to comfort her and make her stop. Just because they were safe for the moment didn't mean that couldn't change in an instant. If they were attacked while Kayla was distracted by her tears, then they'd be in real trouble. But what the hell was he supposed to say to her?<br/><br/>Letting out a small sigh, he stood up from the river and made his way over to the Light elf. He wasn't quite sure what was making him do this. Maybe it was because hadn't seen the mistrust in her eyes when she looked at him. Sitting on the ground across from her, Zaer tried to think of how to say this without upsetting the girl more. Then again, he wasn't good with these sorts of situations. "What're you crying for? We all made it out, didn't we?"
