Euphrosyne could see that he thought the whole idea was silly, which it was, and probably thought she was strange, but she knew that if they were going to explore for a while longer it would wear on him. It was a long swim back and she didn't want him to be too tired. She waited till he had climbed on her back and wrapped his legs around her before she carefully unfolded her legs and stood. Once she was sure he was secure on her back, she continued on, going along at an easy pace. It was faster than they had been going before, but slow enough that he didn't miss anything in their exploring and he wasn't at risk of falling off.

They went through the island, weaving around the trees and rocks, walking by pools of rainwater, spotting small animals in the brush and birds in the trees. He was so light that it was no problem at all for Syne to carry him around the island. She kind of liked it, actually. She didn't have to worry about him tiring or getting hurt. She knew that was probably a little overprotective, but she really did mean well. She kept her head down the whole trip so she wouldn't get in the way of his view. Soon they had crossed the whole island and had reached the opposite shore. It wasn't an extremely large island. "Look, the sands are just as green here as they are on the other side," she said, glancing back at him over her shoulder with a smile. She turned and trotted along the coast, circling back to where they had started. Her paws were getting covered in the green sand again, but she paid it no mind. Little things like that didn't seem to matter as much when she had Talon with her.

Before too long they came back to the shore where they had met. Euph could see the mainland in the distance over the stretch of ocean. She slowed to a stop and slowly sank to the ground again. "Alright, get off the bear," she said, giving him a rumbling growl to pretend like she really was a bear just for fun, a smile crossing her muzzle and a laugh echoing in her chest to show she was just kidding with her new friend. "How did you like the tour?" she asked as she sat up on her haunches and looked down at him, her emerald eyes meeting his gray gaze.
