[IC] The Two Sides

[wallaberry]

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.

[xiaomiau]

Apparently having not noticed that the fight had moved up until then point, Misha suddenly anime gasped and whipped around before breaking into a run towards the river. "We're not very good messengers," she huffed as she broke the "no crossing the map in five minutes" rule and emerged in the trees closer the river, likely thanks to some kind of inter dimensional wormhole. She glanced back at Elauna to check that she was still following.

[Fionraella]

Fabine scowls at the Rabin angrily, before trying to regain his balance. This part of the river was fairly calm, but there was not a lot of footing to make for a very good fight. "Bitch." He snaps, managing to hook his foot under a slippery river rock and upright himself again.

Elauna had followed. She huffs, breathing heavily, not used to so much running about. "Are we almost done? I pretty much just want to sleep." She scowls, hoping this would be the worst part of being a healer and that it would be all easy peasy from here on out.

[xiaomiau]

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.

[wallaberry]

Kianna narrows her eyes as he calls her a bitch yet again, and snarls. She glares up at him and surveys her surroundings. She knew they weren't going to get very far fighting in the water much longer. She lunges to bite him anyways because Demi doesn't know what to do.

"Well you're rude." Elauna comments, rolling her eyes. She snorts and follows her through the trees. She shifts and opens her mouth. Her neck fur bristles. "Careful, I smell a Rabin up ahead." She warns, padding alongside her fellow Brom, lips curled in a snarl. Even though she was an archer, she was a good fighter in her animal form too.

[xiaomiau]

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.

@xiaomiau

Elauna pads through the mud, grimacing as it coats her paws and legs. Great. She thinks before turning her attention to the river. Her ears perk up. "Yo Fabine! Got some news for ya, do you want to take a break from...your wrestling match or whatever and come talk to me?"

[Fionraella]

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.

[xiaomiau]

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.

@xiaomiau

Elauna follows and huffs. "If you fucking knock him out, it's me who has to treat him for a concussion or whatever." She grumbles, before sitting down, licking her paw lazily as she watches the pair in the river, a bit amused. "He sure gets into a lot of these...interesting fights with the Rabins, doesn't he?"

@Fionraella

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.

@wallaberry

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.

@Fionraella

Kianna feels Fabine push her over and begins snarling, struggling to keep her footing in the water. She goes to bite down on his right forearm as his arms near her neck.

[xiaomiau]

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!"

@xiaomiau

Fabine lifts his head at the shouting. He scowls and crosses his arms. "I don't use hair gel. It's called mousse!" He shouts, then rolls his eyes with a groan. "Seriously Misha?!" He then kicks Kianna before swimming to the shore. "I thought you were prisoner! Fucking idiot. Can't even be a prisoner correctly."

[xiaomiau]

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."

[wallaberry]

Kianna steps back in the water as he kicks her and turns his attention to Elauna and Misha. She was too tired at this point to care. She looks over at Misha, her gaze lingering a moment as she catches her breath. The arrow and knife wounds stung and she needed to go back to get her shoulder looked at.

[Fionraella]

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.

@xiaomiau

Fabine rolls his eyes. "A crisis, huh? Are you dying?" He asks, not even half joking, but having no sympathy to his voice either. He pulls himself out of the water and bows mockingly to Kianna. "T'was a nice swim Rabin. I should hope that next time one of us end up at the bottom of the river dead." He smirks, then turns his attention to Misha.

[xiaomiau]

Misha meets Kianna's eyes with an unreadable look before she snaps her gaze up to Fabine. She crosses her arms. "Um, kinda! I super got kidnapped and tortured by sickos." She cocks her head. "Or is that above your pay grade?"
