- Aquila Vesperus || Human Crewmate || ~Darius, Natalia
Three was better than none is what Aquila didn't say, dark eyes wandering from the captain and doctor to the wreckage of the ship without immediately responding. Technically speaking, the Pandora hadn't been her ship, but she and Cygnus had been on it from the beginning and seeing it beyond all repair hurt. Perhaps even more than the Wyvern before it, it had been with them longer after all. She had to take a slow breath. "Surely there are others? If three could survive, more could." She said finally, gaze glossing over the medic to land firmly on Darius. Years of habit were hard to break, and she was more than accustom to the captain calling the shots, but perhaps not everyone was as good at compartmentalization as she was. She'd deal with everything else -- her twin, together for as long as they'd lived, missing without a trace -- later, when they weren't stranded on a beach with no idea what to do next.
Xemaiko Thoth || Leviathan || ~Open
Had anyone been around to see it, Xemaiko's irritation still would have been palpable. A mere few weeks he'd been gone, and what had he been greeted with on his return but a distinctly unnatural storm shattering a ship upon the rocks and turning its debris into obstacles he was not willing to risk his haul of plants or his tail fins navigating with the storm still ongoing. It had only just cleared up, allowing him to find a stretch of beach that didn't have humans strewn about it. A thankfully rocky stretch, so he could find a good place to drag himself up without getting covered in sand before downing the silvery liquid he carried in one of the salvaged flasks on his hip that would allow his scales to soften into skin once more and his tail to melt into legs.
Moments later he was properly standing on the beach, fully dressed and with his deep blue cloak over his shoulders, despite the sun now beating down, covering his bag and the flasks. Water still dripped from his hair and into his face but he ignored it as he glanced around to pinpoint exactly where on the island he'd emerged.
