In a sharp contrast to everyone else that was currently present, Roan hadn't panicked or become distraught when Keona had begun to swim, nor when she had sunk below the waves. Hell, he hadn't even been all that worried when she hadn't come up for hours, knowing that his sister had elementals, and could handle herself in the ocean just fine. The only reason he had even stumbled across the whole scenario was because he had been out near the edge of the jungle, searching for herbs that liked to grow where the sand met the growth. Nearby, he heard the faint sound of water being splashed and displaced, and his blue gaze snapped over to where Keona was. He watched with curiosity as she swam out, before eventually deciding to dip her head beneath the water. He thought little of it, considering he had taken similar measures to "test" himself in the past. Of course, he didn't have water elementals, but he did have electricity and air ones, and he often spent his free time practicing with them, trying to make himself stronger. Both were a godsend in case of an emergency, and he would often find himself pushing and pushing until he could easily arc rather large strikes of electricity between his paws. He saw such training as natural, and simply figured Keona was doing something similar.

As the hours passed, Roan continued to spend much of his time searching for herbs, tail held high and mind occupied when he finally returned once more from the jungle. When he emerged from the trees, however, he was startled to see that a rather panicked looking group had begun to gather at the edge of the water. Danny was even crying, although that hardly did anything to cause Roan much worry – the canine would start sobbing if you pronounced his name wrong. The sight of Harland and Salem looking distressed was pretty intriguing, however. With a sigh, the soothsayer shifted his satchel back against his side, making his way over until he could hear what the others had to say. As soon as he grew close enough, the siamese paused, an unimpressed expression coming to his face. That was why they all looked so distraught and upset? Because Keona had been under the sea for a while? He didn't hesitate to speak up, sitting down nearby and letting his tail settle over his dark paws, "What are you all so up in arms about? I know at least you know that she has water elementals, Salem. Sobbing over her testing herself is hardly necessary..." That last bit was mostly directed at Danny, Roan squinting slightly as he looked the wolf over once more.

Turning his attention back to Keona herself, Roan dipped his head in the dealer's direction. There was a slightly proud smile on his face as he spoke up once more, "I must say, nice job Keona. Your abilities are becoming especially impressive – you stayed under the entire time I was out picking herbs." For the most part, he didn't really think too much about Salem's panic, or closeness to Keo. Even if his sister was oblivious to the other's feelings, Roan was hardly an idiot. He could see how much Salem cared about her from a mile away, and he had been keeping an eye on the other for quite a while now. Despite Keona technically being the older of the two of them, she had always had a slightly more naive and oblivious nature to her, something that was far more calming and comforting than Roan's more cynical outward persona. In fact, most would probably guess she was the medic at first glance, rather than him. Needless to say, this meant that if Salem made one wrong move, he'd have more to worry about than just Keona testing her water elementals. Namely, he'd have to worry about an Eastern dragon grabbing him and chucking him as far into the ocean as he could manage. The thought was almost enough to make the medic snort, although he refrained for the moment – he didn't want to totally embarrass the anxiety filled crowd around him.
