Royals On the Run - NEW Poll! - 1x1 w/ Larson and Zoe

[cashew jackman]

When Reis had planned a relaxing daytrip down the river for he and Neveah, he had pictured a calm, relaxing scene. Good food, good drink, and good company; it was that simple. The trip had gone smoothly, at first. Their small patrol of six guards, plus Jax and Rose, had left plenty of room on the large boat for Reis and Neveah to have a few moments alone. However, as a storm rolled in, his plans were quickly pushed aside.

"Hold steady!" Jax called across the stormy deck, directing the patrolmen as they barely kept the ship under control. Reis, poking his head out of the main cabin, stumbled across the lurching deck towards his brother.

"How bad is it?" He asked, eyeing the massive, white-capped waves around them. Jax shook his head.

"Bad; but we'll pull through. It's just a quick gale." He took a moment to eye his younger brother's trembling knees, and grinned. "Maybe it's best that you stay inside."

(I'm thinking Neveah comes out on deck and doesn't have much trouble balancing? But then Rose follows them out and starts playing around, then ends up falling overboard? Then Neveah and Reis will go in after her and wash up way down-river)

[Larson and Zoe]

Neveah was sitting inside with Reis, just talking with him and holding his hand. When suddenly she left the boat starting to rock. She frowned as she could hear the thunder and lightning. She then followed Reis out of the room and then slowly walked across the boat, just pretending she had books on her head that she couldnt let fall. "Will we be okay?"

Rose giggled and then came running out of the other room. "Its raining Jax!" She said an dthen started to slip and slide happily on the deck

Reis gripped a nearby mast as a spray of water crashed overhead, the massive way spraying across his face and soaking him. Spluttering, he frantically wiped the saltwater from his eyes and glared as Jax began to laugh.

"Oh we'll be fine." Jax chuckled to Neveah. "It's Reis I'm worried about."

Meanwhile, the wind continued to rise, the waves tossing the boat back and forth with even more force.

[Larson and Zoe]

Neveah frowned as Jax began to laugh before she hit him and went to Reis. "Are you okay?" She asked him and then couldnt help but giggle herself. "You are soaking wet." She said and then frowned when she heard Rose scream.

Still laughing, Jax moved away to oversee the manning of the ship. The storm was getting stronger; it would be best if he took control of the wheel.

"I'm fine." Reis replied curtly, running a hand through his tousled hair. "It just caught me off guard, is all." He stood a little straighter, knuckles growing white as he tightened his grip on the mast. At the sound of Rose's desperate cry, his heart nearly skipped a beat. "Rose!" He called back, releasing the mast and searching for the source of the scream.

[Larson and Zoe]

Neveah jumped and then looked around with him before she saw a hand at the edge of the boat. "Reis, shes over there!" She said and tried her best to walk over as quick as possible without falling herself.

Rose dangled just above the water before her hand started to slip. With her being young it scared her and she couldnt swim. "Reis!"

[cashew jackman]

“Rose!” Reis’ fear for his own safety was suddenly swept away, replaced by desperation as he scrambled across the deck. He slammed against the railing, grasping her hand tightly. “Hold on, I’ll pull you-“ He was cut off as another wave hit, tearing Rose from his hands and knocking him over the rail. He hit the cold water hard, thrashing beneath the angry waters until he finally managed to come up for air. “Rose!” He choked out through a mouthful of river water. “Rose, where are you!?”

[Larson and Zoe]

Rose had let out a scream before she hit the water, her not being the best swimmer her head would Bob up before she would be pulled right back down. Neveah was a good swimmer, not in a dress, but she saw Rose and jumped into the cold water and swam over to grab her. "Reis! Help me!" She said and repeated it so he could find her
