Adrift Without a Life Vest

As Mercury explained the positions of the people in the Hollows that she would need to know, the Aegis appeared. Mercu turned his head, and nodded to Artorias in greeting. The blue wolf spoke first to the shipwreck victim. He held his quiet as Anthea introduced himself, and she spoke first in answer to Art’s question. He inclined his head, his eyes on the blue wolf. “I have some training with aquatic emergencies” He explained. His birth pack had had access to a port, and he had spent much of his life on a ship.

He glanced to Anthea, and then back to Artorias. She had been quick to praise him, but he wasn’t the reason she was safely in this pack. “Your sister took over from there and saw to her immediate care, I assume Gwynevere has spoken to you?” he said, the unasked question in his eyes - had she explained that Anthea needed further care, and that remaining in the pack would be best for her? He didn’t feel it was his place to pose it to the Aegis.
