Hermes took off over the cliff at Setsuna's approval. "She won't be long," Said Sven. "She's got amazing eyesight, and a beak that can hold onto anything!"
They watched the skies gradually become more and more orange as the sun began to set. Sven noticed how Setsuna's scales didn't seem to be as shiny as before. At first thinking it was just the lower light levels, he saw the stiffness of the dragon. It was a stark contrast compared to before.
"Are you okay?" Remembering the dragon lives in water, he figured out that the dragon may be a dehydrated. Rumaging in his bag, he withdrew a flask of water, and splashed some water on the dragon's joints. "I hope this helps, if only a little. When Hermes gets back maybe we can lift you back into the water?"
As he scribbled in details on the fins he displayed, he reassured him at the same time. "Don't worry about us, Setsuna. Me and Hermes are a team, we look out for each other."
Speaking of the devil, Hermes had quickly arrived with a very large fish in her maws. She dropped it down in front of Setsuna. "Grubs up! Hope you like it!"

Feeling the sweet water on his joints, his agility recovered a little, and the scales returned somewhat in color. Huffing a little tired, his eyes met again with Sven's.
"Thanks. I'd appreciate to be carried down. I could make it on my own - but it would be an unspectacular fall." chuckling a little, he smiled.
It relieved the dragon to know that Sven and Hermes would be fine, even in the dark. Maybe Hermes had good eyesight in the dark aswell? Who knows. Seeing Hermes returned with the fish pushed his thoughts away, as he was suddenly harshly reminded how hungry he really was.
"That one's huge! Thanks alot." Standing up again, Setsuna walked rather slow towards the still twitching fish. He picked it up with his maw, and gobbled it in one piece, head first, down. Feeling satisfied, he smiled towards Hermes, and sat down again.
Yawning afterwards, he looked at the duo. It felt as though they'd be fine on their own.
"I'd better get going then. I need some water around me - and I'm tired aswell. Time for me to sleep." moving himself up, he walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff.
"Could you get me down, you both?"

Both Sven and Hermes agreed to help Setsuna return to the waters. The cliff was high and at the bottom were jagged rocks, so Hermes would have to be extra careful in trying to carry the dragon down. She could have probably carried the dragon underneath her, but her limbs weren't that strong and her claws not that big.
"I think I have no other choice than to lift you on my back." Hermes replied. "I won't be able to carry you far - I think I will be able to get you past those horribly dangerous rocks." The dragon explained.
Since Setsuna was dehydrated and couldn't move much, Hermes had to take the liberty of hoisting the main body of the dragon onto her back. Sven made sure that Setsuna was well positioned and was in no danger off falling off too soon.
When all was in place, Hermes painfully rose to her feet, high elbows quavering under the weight, but with strong wings, she managed to hoist herself off the ground and over the cliff. Taking the last warm currents of air before the atmosphere cooled, she gracefully managed to swoop low over the rocks, only just missing them.
Making sure the water was clear of danger, Hermes tilted her body sideways so that the water dragon could slip off and dive into it's watery home. Any longer and Setsuna's weight would have sent Hermes crashing into the water. Her tail piece skimmed the light waves, sending a spay of water behind her. With a few flaps she was back in the air, circling the splash ring where Setsuna had fallen.
Hermes was soon being engulfed in the oncoming darkness. Against the dark sea and blackening sky, Sven found himself squinting to try and spot Hermes. He had heard the splash, so he knew that the dragon had done her job beautifully.

The dragon felt uncomfortable as Hermes entered her flight. He didn't know how it is to fly, so he was shaking through the entire procedure. It took a moment for Setsuna to compose himself, and his shaking ceased. Infact - he started to enjoy the ride!
Quickly afterwards, he was sent downwards, back into the waters. His agility returned, and with a few turns in the water, he returned towards the surface, sticking his head out.
"Thanks, Hermes and Sven! Maybe we'll meet another day!" he yelled upwards, seeing barely anything in the night-sky.
Diving under again, he took distance of the duo, with a smile on his face. He jumped one last time out of the water, leaping far, and causing huge sprinkles to fly around. Diving under again with the moon infront of him, it gave quite the beautiful sight.
Then Setsuna swam away from the island, towards the depths of the ocean to find a place to sleep in. Tomorrow he'd return, watch the humans do their thing, or stalk them near their homes. Another day of adventure.
=Setsuna leaves!=
(OOC: You'll have to end the thread. It was fun. ^^)
