These dam beavers

Looking back towards the bank, he could see the creatures still staring, but gradually the fade dulled and was no more. He wondered if the beavers had died and shriveled up like the crabs and seals had done, but wasn't able to tell from this distance. He could still see the shimmering wall of fireflies as they tried to figure out how to cross the water, however.

Dalila assured him that she was okay, but he didn't really believe her. There was a look on the woman's face that let him know she was lying. "When we get back, have Aliana or Siren take a look at you." His voice was soft, but it left no room for discussion. If she was ill, then she needed to be tended to. Being lightheaded wasn't natural and showing such weakness in front of him was even less natural than the blue beavers had been.

Taking up the rope, Chimera moved the raft back to the island. Dalila thanked him for his help and the brute just nodded. Of course he would help her. Now that the air had been somewhat cleared between them, Chimera would go out of his way to make sure that the woman was okay. Back on the island, Chi hurried Dalila off to see a healer. He would be sure to check on her after.
