[Rinrou]

"Get off my boat," Wolfe snarled. Snow moved forward to force him off if necessary.

[Kaliko]

Dewei glanced around at all of them briefly before ripping out a strand of Yue's hair and slapping her on the butt so she'd move forward toward them. "Don't worry," he told her. "I'll be back." Then he turned to all of them as he put down his gun and started making his way back toward the rock he had come from. "The Yin Long won't stop hunting her until that traitor is returned to us."

[Rinrou]

Tulip stuck out her tongue at Dewei.

In a flash, Wolfe's gun was out and a bullet landed inches from Dewei's foot, "Start running, lover boy. Before I change my mind," he warned coldly.

Snow chuckled darkly.

[Kaliko]

Long fired a warning shot that also landed inches from Wolfe's feet. Dewei didn't run, but he didn't dally around too long. As he disappeared, he cussed at them a little in Chinese. Long disappeared shortly after.

After another moment or two, Yue slowly fell to her knees.

[Rinrou]

Wolfe was puffing smoke amazingly quickly. Snow was laughing at him, "You actually lost your cool!" she teased.

Tulip skipped off to help Kale down.

And finally, a worn out James pulled himself up on the boat. He gasped for a moment, trying to catch his breath. "Y... Yue!" he coughed, trying to stand and wobbling back to his knees. He ended up pathetically crawling towards her.

[Kaliko]

Blaze dismantled her gun, made herself a little more comfortable on the top of the rock she was on, and pulled out some alcohol.

Yue didn't seem to notice James as she tried to keep herself from shaking.

[Rinrou]

James reached Yue and wrapped her up in a big wet hug, "He didn't hurt you, did he?" he fussed, patting her head with one hand and rubbing her back with the other.

[Kaliko]

Yue didn't say anything. But that seemed to make her shake even more because now she was wet and getting a little cold.

[Rinrou]

James kept hugging her and kissing the top of her head. Eventually Snow came over and threw a few thermal towels over them.

Kale slowly made his way over to the boat with Tulip's help and stared at Blaze. After a moment he shook Tulip off and went over to her.

[Kaliko]

It took her a long while, but she started to stop shaking. Then she pulled away briefly so she could turn to bury her face in James' wet chest.

Blaze said nothing, content to be king of her rock until she ran out of whatever she was drinking.

[Rinrou]

James continued to hold her close, alternating between kissing her temples and glaring at Wofle.

Kale watched for a long moment, "Hey Purplehead, drink on the boat so we can leave," he finally stated.

[Kaliko]

"Don't tell me what to do," Blaze spat at Kale before drinking some more.

[Rinrou]

Kale sighed and walked back to Wolfe. A few moments later, the boat left without Kale and Blaze.

The boat then pit-stopped and picked up a very confused Laurel and Raven. Wolfe decided to wait a little bit to see if Nic was coming. James moved Yue closed to the heater to keep both of them warm.

[Kaliko]

Blaze ignored Kale as she stood and started to head back toward the shore.

Raven blinked at all of them, not sure what to ask first.

A minute or two later, Nic showed up.

[Rinrou]

Kale followed her a little ways behind.

Laurel was a bit too drunk to really understand something was strange. But as Nic showed up she grinned and threw herself at him.

[Kaliko]

Blaze managed to keep ignoring him. She stumbled every now and then, but managed to not fall as she traversed the rock.

Nic was clearly surprised, but he didn't seem to mind.

Raven kept sniffing the air and finally seemed to figure out Wolfe had been smoking. A lot.
