Kianna forces her head above the surface of the water and coughs, regaining herself. She saw Fabine slip away after he kicked her and stands up. "Is that really all you got?" She snarls, feigning strength. Her energy was running out fast.
Misha slowed as they closed into the trees that lined the river. She stared at Elauna blankly for a moment, then scowled. "What's the point of you?" she hissed, shaking her head. The brush and crackling leaves beneath her crackled as she toed towards the riverbank. She could hear the sounds of commotion in the water, barely audible of the waves, but no distinct words reached her ears from their distance.
Misha sped up her pace. The ground broke off from pine needles and leaf litter to mud and sparse rocks and sand, beaten in by the current of the river. The splashes and hushed voices were clearer, now. She pushed through the undergrowth and emerged onto the muddy riverbank with a high pitched grunt(???????????????). She looked up and saw the soaking forms of what - when she squinted - appeared to be their fearless leader and a particularly irritated Kianna. Maybe just a normal Kianna. She paused for a second, then took a breath in. "Hey!" she yelled, waving her arm.
Misha glances at Elauna and shrugs. "Guess he's goin' deaf." She sprinted closer to the two, boots edging the shoreline as she stood just above the waterline. She bent down and grabbed a handful of large pebbles. Straightening, she watched Fabine duck under the water. She waited until he emerged again to begin chucking the stones in their general direction.
Fabine scowls as Kianna lunges. He sucks in a deep breath and ducks under the water before forcefully pushing upward. As such, he misses out on hearing his good old groupmates calling his name. So he didn;t see Misha or Elauna at the riverbed.

Kianna grunts as she's met by Fabine's push upwards. She goes to press her weight down and tries to keep upright. The water was making it difficult to do much and she felt annoyed. She chose to ignore Elauna and Misha's presence.

Fabine flinches as a pebble hits his head. "Hey other bitch, knock it off!" He snaps in Misha's general direction, not yet knowing it was her. He huffs and glares coldly at Kianna before trying to tackle her.
Misha bristled at Fabine's words but continued launching stones at him. "Hey! Assholes!" she called, cupping one hand around her mouth. She kicked at the riverbank with a grimace stark on her face. "Fabine, someone spilled your hair gel!"
Misha shrugged dramatically, her fingers twitching in exasperation. "Prisoner, huh?" She snorted. "Yeah, yeah, I was, and then a -" She made an arc with her hand. " - wayyyy bigger crisis popped up, so we should probably worry 'bout that, huh?" She narrowed her eyes, glancing at Kianna behind him. "Unless you'd rather go swimming."
