"once your hurt badly enough you're rewarded armor…."
He swims to the injured fish, and picks them up and swims out of the cave, he sets them down on the ground and turns to the rest.
"okay now you can help your buddy, over there."
He smiled at them.
"come on now, im tired….. "
Maddox nodded and took Moxiey's hand again, swimming after Iris back to the shipwreck.
(Iris has basically adopted these four children lol)
(lol)
(no objections)
Toka sighed and avoided looking at the guy as he joined Iris outside the cave. "Are you okay?" He asked, looking into his satchel for more kelp or some other plant that might help. All he had in there, though, was his three tied pouches of flowers and some vine, but nothing to wrap or patch an injury.
"I'm fine, I have a cave near the shipwreck. Its bigger and has more things so we can relax while I rest for a bit." She explained, slowly swimming towards the wreckage
Maddox followed Iris quietly, spiraling dreamily as he swam as he had a tendency to do. He glided easily and gracefully through the water, and in complete silence.
Iris grinned at his antics before diving down and going towards the cave, hidden behind a wave of kelp.
Maddox went into the cave as well, swimming around inside and examining it curiously. "It's nice." He finally decided.
Seong-Jin turned to his cave and his grin had turned into a frown. He laid down in a bed of help that he had made earlier that day, and he quickly dozed off. He needed the sleep.
Moxiey was unusually quiet during the trip. Her face was plain.
Toka followed Iris into the cave, but his eyes were on Moxiey. He turned to her and patted her shoulder. "Hey, are you alright?"
She blinked, startled for a second before regaining herself. "Oh, yeah. I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Toka narrowed his eyes a little. "The water around you is a darker color. Something is bothering you." He hummed a bit before reaching into his satchel and pulling the orange flower crown he had put back in there earlier. He smiled and held it out to Moxiey. "Well, if you don't wanna talk about it, at least take this."
She blushed shyly and accepted the crown. "Thanks…"
Bloom finally swam closer. "Hey, are you guys okay?" She wanted to help but something inside wanted to just watch. Maybe because she hasn't seen mermaids before and wanted to know how they would deal with the situation.
Toka nodded to Moxiey. "You're welcome!" Then he turned to the jellyfish, whose name he didn't know. "I still have these cuts on my arms, Wich I should probably do something about, but I'm fine. We should be making sure Iris is okay."
Moxiey nodded. "I'm good." She looked at her brother. "Are you good?"
After his nap he decides to explore more…. he swims out of the cave and glances at the small school of merfolk.
He swims by a shiver of sharks, and he looks up to a boat. A net hung down from it with a few fish it.
He cuts the net and quickly swims away, that's what he usually does roaming around cutting nets and sinking boats, causing mischief.
The fish swim out into the vastness of the water. He looks to where the dolphin goes, towards the deeper part of the sea.
Its pitch black… just how he likes it. He swims to the murky depth of the ocean. His blue eyes shining brightly through the darkness.
Iris touched a few crystals around the cave and light illuminated the cave. "This cave leads into a few smaller "rooms" so you guys are welcome to stay. I'm just going to wrap tail and fix my arms and I'll be back. There is food in the jars." She gestured.
Moxiey nodded. "I'm good." She looked at her brother. "Are you good?"
"Yes, I'm alright." He nodded as well, still exploring the cave.
Moxiey nodded with a small smile. "We're both good!"
Iris came out after a little bit with a patched up tail and a green clay on her arms. "Are you guys hungry?" She asked
"I'm not hungry, thank you." Maddox smiled softly and finally came to a stop from his exploring.
"You are welcome to stay here but do not leave without telling someone." She said
Maddox nodded. Do we… Do we live here now??
Toka smiled. "Thank you, Iris. I don't think I'll be here very long, but you have a very lovely home." Dad and Haze might come looking for me. He started looking through his satchel again, glancing at Iris. "Um, two questions: Do you have any strong seaweed I can borrow, and what color do you like?"
(So I might have to leave this, because honestly I'm not sure what to do with Bloom.)
"Yes, just outside the cave we have a field of seaweed, and o like deep purple." She said
(What if Blooms family left without her and the rest of use go on a "quest" to find her family again? Kinda like finding nemo)
(Sounds good to me. That's only if everyone is down for that.)
