The petite Demdji had taken to lingering at the water's edge.  Bright blue hues reflecting the sky and the sea, flickering with some daring and some hesitance.  A never ending battle against possessing reasonable caution and reckless lust for adventure; for a challenge to knock down head on.  Born and raised in the desert, the feline could barely comprehend the existence of such a wide expanse of water.  Blue from the docks to the horizon, revealing nothing about its true distance as it melded with the sky.

Tena was trotting towards the docks, per her ritual, when she heard splashing.  Startled -- alarmed with the thought of an Elysite drowning -- the sand cat pushed head-long along her course, practically skidding across the docks.  Tail lashing behind her, she scrambled towards the very edge, eyes wide.  On instinct, she began reaching down, planting her hind legs as firmly as she could behind her.  "Hey! I'm gonna try to help."

She was a terribly small cat, all things considered, and somewhere in the back of her mind she knew this might not end well for either of them should she get herself pulled in.  But she had to help.  Stranger or no, it was clear she was tired and Tena knew exhaustion could kill in the water.  With a sharp breath, Tena began to manipulate the air around Chinami, enough to push them up a little, closer to her and the stronger boards, if she was light enough.  If she was too heavy, Tena could only hope the boost was enough to get them high enough to gain a foothood.
