FORGOT MY PARENTHESES

Shame on you, Mena.  What an unforgivable act.

"...Why?"  She asks, still holding on to Jaw and Gilda.

"they can...help me."  Meritursas replies.  "please...unless they want to stay, just let them go."

(I was about to correct that it's only been a couple minutes in universe, but Noctimus has only been alive for about a day at most, so from his perspective a couple minutes probably seems a lot longer.)

Kate saw the worried look Noctimus was giving her, and figured he was still worried about Wiffleball. "He'll be ok. He was asleep a lot longer than this when he got hurt before. We just have to be patient." She glanced from her blanked to the plush. "Here, why don't we make him comfy." She gently scooted the pup off her lap before picking up the limp toy and bundling him up, laying him down beside them when she was done.

(I feel like I'm neglecting Kade, but I find it difficult to write actions for him. Even though he's really important for Kate's backstory and character arc, I still can't nail down a personality for him. The most I've got is he's really protective of her and calms her down when she's sad or panicked. That's pretty much it. Uhg.)

Niellatursas thinks for a while; then sighs.  "Alright, Meri.  If you really think they can help."

She gingerly sets Jaw, Gilda, and Angelle on deck, then fishes Gyx out of her mouth and places him on the ship as well. 

"It really was nice to meet you."  She says, her voice surprisingly sincere.  "It gets kinda lonely down here sometimes...I don't usually get to see new people."

Niella then spits out a small crank-looking object, with a handle made from wet grass and a base made out of a rotten-looking wood.  She carefully hands it to Famen.  Despite the flimsy-looking materials and its half-digested appearance, it feels incredibly solid.  As Famen holds it, his skin tingles, like the whole thing is electrified with a small voltage.

"Feel free to come back sometime."  She says, sinking down into the water and letting Meritursas out from between her teeth.  Her voice has a hint of sadness in it.  "Bring your friends, if they want..."

She finally sets the boat down a safe distance from the center of the whirlpool, where Meritursas quickly grabs it.  After doing so, she gives a 'little' wave and vanishes beneath the churning waters.

Gilda froze. What was this. Was it a hostile action? Gilda wasn't sure what to do.

Wheke grins. "Heave a pawl, oh, heave away! Way, ay, roll an' go!" Wheke stood and threw their hands in the air.

"The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored. Timme rollickin' randy dandy O!"

"This... is called a 'hug'. Humans do it... to show affection. That is one of the... things my frien-- little sister taught me... the last time I saw her was... before... I ended up here." she said while her expression of worry became greater. "All I remember... is a purple-colored flash... and her yelling my name... before I woke up... on one of those rocks... in the sea." she hugged the two a little tighter. "I am glad... you two are alright." she said with a little sniff afterwards. Gilda and Jaw were the only two she had really talked with and trusted the most. And Mark. He seemed trustworthy too.
