tears of salt, heart of stone

He could leave her in the dark. Could hold the silence over her head, force her to become anxious wondering all the questions that were probably driving her mad by now. It would be too nice of him to give her any information, but he worried for Matija just the same as she did. Was he okay? Had he survived? Would he be able to find them? His own heart raced for the wellbeing of his brother that it clouded his mind as he led the girl across the sand bars.

"Don't drink this water," he says suddenly, his own voice dry and gruff, any words making his throat hurt more. He wants water as badly as she does, but he knows this is still saltwater or its at least brackish which still isn't safe. If she truly wanted to drink it, she would regret it later. Both from whatever her bowls would do and what he would do to her for not listening.

Stopping for a moment on the crest of a larger sand bar with one or two palms and some large boulders to rest against, Idris looks around. He has no idea where they are or where to head to either. To his right, there's another bay and from the position of the sun, he can only guess that's north. So when he looks to his left and sees more water and sandbars, he safely assumes it's south. And to his front? It had to be west and honestly the most promising out of the other directions. Large, old mangroves rise above sea level, offering the only protection that they might find. Was this entire place all tropical?

Letting out another grunt, Idris flicks his tail, motioning for Cambria to follow. "Once we get to the trees, we can stop," Idris rumbles, already getting tired of the sand and water. Something solid and cooler would be nice.
