Mitch sighed. "I'm still sorry." He said backing away smiling at her.

Jora stiffened not knowing what was happening.

Phinesa smiled even more. She skiped a little faster but her natural clumsyness caught up with her and she tripped over her feet falling on the gril's legs.

"For what?" asked Ember. It hadn't been his fault that she had remembered what she had tried to forget. That had been her own fault. And he hadn't been the one to toss her in the lake. It had been those stupid boys.

"You're safe on dry land," Orion said, keeping an arm around her shoulders. He hoped that her state of confusion would pass soon. It unnerved him.

Saffy fell to the ground when the girl hit her legs. The song ended before she hit the ground. She wasn't hurt, so she sprung to her feet and offered a hand to the girl sprawled at her feet. "Are you okay?" she asked smiling sweetly at her.

Mitch sighed. "For not stopping them? I don't know but no one should do anything like that." He said his face serious.

Jora shifted away from Orion holding her knees together.

Alderic was freaking out about A'ine not responding. He slowly moved to sit next to her and put his hand on her back. "Just pretend she's one of your sisters..." He muttered to himself.

Phinesa smiled up at her rubbing her head near the base of her horn. "Sorry. I really shouldn't dance. I'm more on the clumsy side." She said taking her hand smiling.

"Jora had it worse..." Ember said, knowing how bad it must have been for Jora, if people did stuff like that to her her whole life. "Besides, we moved soon after," she said.

"You okay?" Orion asked, letting her move away from him. Another pang of guilt stabbed him. After all, it was his fault she almost drowned.

Saffy grinned. "Nonsense! You should dance if you want to!" she said, pulling the other girl to her feet. "I'm Saffron, but you can call me Saffy. And you are...?" she asked, wanting to know who this girl was.

Mitch shook his head. "Still doesn't matter. That shouldn't happen to anyone..." He sighed. "Looks like we're the only ones out here, come on let's go." He said smiling a little.

Jora was shaking holding her legs. She was slowly figuring it out. She stood up her head still down.

Phinesa smiled. "I don't really know what I like so I'm good either way." She rolled her leg a little getting it loose. "I'm Phinesa. Saquia's my sister who think's she hiding in the bushes not disturbing us." She said jokingly.

Ember managed a small smile, and nodded back. She turned to swim back, her strokes hesitant and choppy, but she was swimming.

Orion stood up with Jora, and was ready to catch her if she stumbled. He had noticed her shaking and knew it was likely that she was dizzy.

"Nice to meet you!" said Saffy, turning to see who was 'hiding in the bushes'. She walked over to the girl and grinned. "Hello!" she said, wondering what this girl was like.

Mitch swam close to Ember wanting to be there in case she remembered again. Mitch was good at hiding it but he felt his anger building. Jora had it worse? What's that suppose to mean?! Does that mean she's down playing her own.... he thought letting it go after a while.

Jora bit her lip hugging herself. She was still shaking as she started stepping forward.

Alderic looked at Jora briefly. "Orion, get her a towel. She'd freezing!" He said concerned as he rubbed A'ine's back. Alderic knew that Jora was a bird of fire and he knew from experience that it was bad for anyone made of fire to get cold. And stay cold for a while.

Saquia came out. She was standing as tall as she could. "Hello. Phinesa loves any opportunity to pointed out that she's much better at hiding." Said the older one stepping out.

Phinesa laughed. "That's true. But you did teach me. I'm just better at it." She said walking over to her sister. "Saffy Saquia, Saquia Saffy." She said happily.

Ember was glad she could see Mitch next to her. When they reached the shore, she flopped down onto the bank, half in relief, and half in exhaustion.

Orion hit his forehead and ran to the stack of towels, grabbing one and bringing it back to Jora. He wrapped it around her shoulders, wishing he had something warmer to give her.

"I didn't notice you, and I'm usually pretty observant, so you must be good at hiding!" Saffy said to Phinesa. She looked at the two of them. "I hope you don't mind my asking, but what creatures are you?" she asked.

Mitch looked at Ember sitting down next to her. "Are you alright?" He asked pushing his hair back on his head.

Jora walked forward again stumbling a little but didn't fall.

Alderic felt A'ine lean against him and he hugged her lightly. "Orion, get her to sit back down. If she keeps trying to do stuff she might hurt herself."

Sapuia smiled and looked at her little sister. "We're Satyrs." Phinesa said smiling as her golden hair bounced a little. "What about you?" She asked after that.

Ember pushed herself up until she was sitting. "Yes, thank you," she said, reaching up to make sure the hair tie Mitch had given her was still secure.

Orion rested a hand on Jora's shoulder."Jora, c'mon, let's sit down. You don't want to hurt yourself."

Saffy grinned. Wordlessly, she shifted and leapt up into the branches of a nearby tree. She turned and faced the two satyrs below her.
