The magic she was using must be causing quite the strain, he figured. However while tired, she seemed to be fine over all, as did everyone else...physically at least.<br/><br/>As everyone started making their way up to a nearby cliff to regroup, Sparrow hung back so that he could spot everyone and make sure they all got up safely. He managed to catch the displeased scowl from Alexander, the boy shrinking in on himself a bit as he assumed he, err,<em>she</em>was upset with him for some reason. Though given how much she had changed he supposed he could understand her being upset. Looking at her now Alex was completely unrecognizable, aside from maybe the skin and hair color. In addition to becoming a woman she had even shrunk down considerably, Sparrow now standing a bit taller than her, which was saying something as the boy was fairly short himself, "uh...sorry..." the boy muttered, blushing, not even sure what he was apologizing for.<br/><br/>Sparrow watched as Maya cast her tags into the abyss below, more or less sentencing herself to never return to the surface. He bit his lip, obviously too late to try and stop her, but he still felt as though he should have. It felt...wrong, to see the most fearless of them reduced to such a state, "Maya this isn't your fault. We all made the choice to come here together. It...." he started to protest, but found himself trailing off as he realized there was no point arguing such a thing right now, not with the wounds so fresh, "a cave would be our best bet, though the only question is which one? We'd have no way of knowing what might be lurking inside them..." he added, gazing around at all the caves dotting the cliffsides, all equally capable of providing safe haven or just more tragedy.<br/><br/>However as he glanced around the abyss, a glint off the glass tubing below him drew his eyes downwards, eyes widening as he looked down to see the moth girl from before still chained up, "Oh crab baskets! I almost forgot!" the young monk exclaimed, calling back up to his companions, "hey guys wait a minute! There's still someone down here that I gotta help free" he announced, looking back down to the moth woman and scratching the back of his head with an apologetic smile and a nervous chuckle, "heheheh, sorry about that..." he cooed, spotting a rather sizable hole in the thick glass.<br/><br/>"I'll get you out of there real quick, I promise..." he added as he wormed his upper body through the hole, snaking his way up to the chains the girl's wrists were suspended by and unhooking them from the top of the tank, "alright, there we go, be careful not to cut yourself" he said, taking the girl by the hands and gently pulling her up out of the tank, cautious not to make too much contact with the strange fluid that coated most of her body, and because her nakedness made it difficult to put his hands anywhere else, "ok, watch your step now, I'm gonna help you climb up to the others. Don't worry they're with me so you can trust them..." he said, offering his hands as a step so he could lift her up to the cliff. Of course normally Sparrow would think twice about saying she could trust his companions, given their usual proclivities, but given the current circumstances and atmosphere he trusted they wouldn't screw around too much.
