Can it be.. undone?

Ceth was suddenly on HIGH alert.

"Woah, woah, woah!" he said.

"Right, ignoring the whole 'moved past that' thing... because moving past genetics is a lot harder than it sounds... on shore?" he asked her.

"Ohhhh, no, no, no." he mumbled.

"You may have gotten the antidote, but you are in NO shape to be alone." he told her.

"What if someone finds you and manages to take advantage of you not being at full strength?"

Xeri just sighed as Ceth said all he did.

"That's a risk I'm going to take. I have to get him off of the boat, lest he wants to be found. It really isn't fair to have Adym suffering just because I can't run him to the shore." She added with a sigh.

"I .... Ceth , we have no choice. You can't run across the water... there are only shadows beneath the surface. You'd drown."

Ceth didn't like this.

But he couldn't argue it.

And it was plain to see in his expression.

"Damn it." he cursed.

"I don't like this!" he exclaimed.

Adym just sighed.

"I'm going to go to my room and try and ignore this headache." he told them, before leaving.

"...odds are it's just going to get worse." Kai mumbled after the wood elf had gone.

Xeri just sighed.

"You can like it all you want, but it's the only way we can actually stop Adym's head from splitting open." She commented before looking at Kai.

"And it will. .... especially since where he's going, and the room where the other is... aren't too far apart." She added with a sigh.

"On that note, I gotta get him off the ship." With that, she was gone, leaving the others alone and making her way down to the room of someone she knew had to leave.

They watched her leave, and Karivyn sighed.

"This seems like a very difficult situation." he commented.

"To say the least." Kai interjected.

Meanwhile, in the room Xeri was looking for, the cloaked figure sighed as they put their hood down, their back towards the door.

"...it will only get worse." he mumbled to himself.

"I just know it."

It was then that he heard a knock.

"CC! It's me. We need to talk." She said simply. After he'd beckoned her to enter, she stepped in, closed the door, and met his gaze.

"Feel like staying on the ship, or leaving?" She asked him, her voice curious.

"Because... really? You should leave, lest you're found."

The man looked at her silently for a moment.

"Oh?" he asked.

"And why is that?" he asked her.

"I've been rather good at keeping my presence hidden." he commented, before sighing.

"Or is this a case of complications I cannot control?" he asked.

"Can one of them... sense me?"

Xeri was silent for a moment before sighing, and nodding.

"That's exactly it." She told hom honestly.

"Nature - the wood elf." She added.

"I... really don't think he's going to listen to my telling him not to hunt you out. So... let's get you off this ship. I can run you to the shore and then get a room at the inn there to wait for them to dock."

The man just grumbled to himself.

"I had not foreseen this." he said.

"I think you are correct, in that removing my presence from this ship would be the best possible solution." he agreed.

"Are you sure you can make it?" he asked.

"You DID sustain a rather unfortunate injury earlier."

Xeri paused a moment.

"I.... didn't know you knew about that." She admitted after a moment or two.

"But I'll be all right." She assured him.

"So get your things together and meet me on the deck, the bow of the ship. We'll take off from there, as there aren't many people there for a moment."

He narrowed his eyes a little.

"Very well." he said.

"I shall do so." he told her.

"5 minutes." he went on.

"Say your goodbyes in that time." he continued.

"...and make sure your brother knows to take care of the group." he finished.

Xeri just smiled softly.

"Don't worry about that." She assured him.

"Ceth is very much aware of that, already." She added.

"I will meet you there in five minutes, though." Was the lastthing she said before leaving the room and heading back up to the deck. She didn't know what to expect, and part of her was uneasy about leaving her brother alone, as who knew what could happen in that time? She knew it'd be a couple of days that they were separate, and while she knew that he was a very capable elf, she knew they both weren't perfect.

"I really hope this goes well..." She said quietly as she made her way to the meeting point, making it a point to avoid Callie and Kai, specifically. Adym wasn't a problem, as he was in his room.

She was at the meeting point first, but wasn't waiting for very long. Within a minute, the cloaked figure arrived.

"All right." he said.

"I don't like this." he told her.

"I don't like leaving them behind, but I suppose my hand has been forced." he commented.

"Let us go."

Xeri just sighed.

"I'm not the most enthused by it either." she admitted.

"But it needs to be done." She added before pausing.

"I'm sure you can understand the situation. I certainly can." She paused, again, before shrugging.

"Actually, how long did you suffer with it before you met Sara?" She asked

The man sighed quietly.

"Months." he replied.

"And yes, I mean months." he told her.

"Quite frankly, I was amazed that I was able to keep it down as much as I did." he continued.

"However, that is not the point." he said further.

"If removing myself from this ship is the only solution, so be it."

"That or you meeting him." Xeri commented with a light sigh.

"And seems that you may need to keep at least a bit of a distance from him, specifically." She added.

"Anyway," she started before holding a hand out to him, "Let's go. We've got a bit of distance to travel, and I'd prefer to do it quicker, if I'm being honest." After he'd accepted her hand, they were gone before anyone even noticed they were moving.

About 10 seconds later, Adym emerged from his room, and made his way to the group.

"Uh... hey, guys." he greeted them.

"That was fast." Kai commented.

"Yeah... yeah, it was." Adym agreed.

"It... just... yeah. It's just gone." he said.

"Poof. Vanished. No more headache."

Callie just sighed lightly.

"Not surprising." She commented.

"Xeri said that she was going to get whomever it was off the ship." She added.

"So... they're not here anymore, and not torturing you."

"..." Adym was silent, and just sighed again.

"I really should apologise to her again." he said.

"Meh, whatever." Ceth responded.

"Worry about that later." he told him.

"For now, concentrate on the rest of the ride." he went on.

"Pretty sure the worst is over now."

"Here's hoping, at the very least." Callie agreed with a nod.

"How long do we have left, anyway?" She then asked.

"About three moons." was Kai's response.

'Oh! So not too long at all. At least there's that.' Callie said with a smile.

"Cool. Now, I'm going to go see if the dining hall is good for food. I'm famished." She said before getting to her feet.

"anyone else want to join me?" She asked with a soft smile. Sara just raised her hand.

"I do." The child said.
