Message In A Bottle;; Crashlanding.

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

If anyone knew about denial it was the white dragoness she spent her whole life denying how weak and frail she really was, protecting herself in an impervious shell. How could she make it by doing anything else when getting left behind, murdering others, or abused was all she knew? Jiyu was never willing to admit the truth because most of her still was not ready to start healing, not ready to feel the intensity of true pain again, shed tears once more when her eyes had been dry for so long. Naïve in social settings as she was, the former feline had always been able to see that Rosemary didn't belong, wasn't at home among The Roseblood, even if neither of them wanted to admit that truth. Now, she had to confront it for the both of them, but that was something she could do. Admitting that she wanted Rosemary to come back with her? Was harder than letting go, it had to be because otherwise the only thing awaiting the other was the misery and death she herself lived in. Protecting others was what she did.

Hearing the Ocelots voice the large dragoness went crashing down the beach, sand kicking up as she speed towards the location of the sound. That was when things momentarily got weird, she tried to take off again so she could reach the other without touching the water, crashing into the water and than scrambling out as if it was acid. "Rose." her voice was faint, the monotone fading out again for something almost floral as the name she spoke. While the joy of the ocean gave freedom to Rosemary it only gave fear to the tall creature. "We're really from different worlds, aren't we?" she almost laughed but now wasn't the time, this was sad after-all she would likely never see the four eyed female after today. "I can't swim." with a visible grimace she let her front feet carry themselves partway into the water, what was chest height for Rose was only knee depth for her after all, much as she was clearly uncomfortable in it. "I'm made for the sky and you're made for the sea." that much was clear now, as much as the sky and sea touched each other she just wasn't strong enough to stay.

Jiyu touched her large muzzle to the forehead of the ocelot, leaving it there for several moments before she backed out of the water a few feet up the beach a soft frown covering her normally stoic features. "Rose, stay here." it was easier to say now that she wasn't standing so close, now that she had put some distance between them again. "The desert is killing you inside and out, you belong here, surrounded by the sea." and she could never walk the world that Rosemary did, the ocean was death for her. Suddenly she could hear the voice of someone else calling out for one of the only creatures who had actually wormed into her heart in years. "Don't you think it's about time you went home to your family, Roux?" hearing the ocelots niece call out for her not caring who that happened to be it was another entity she could use to help the ocelot convince herself that this was where she wanted to be. Whatever may be between them meant nothing if they couldn't stay alive.

"I found her, over here." she walked towards Golden not knowing who she was and not really caring. "Do you think you could help convince the leader to let your aunt stay? I absolutely refuse to take her back to somewhere so dangerous for her." they could address the fact that unable to take flight due to some issue with her wing from the crash, she was trapped on the island without some help since without the incentive of rosemary she couldn't possibly cross the water logged bridge leading to this island. Even for Rose? She had barely managed to touch the waves.
