Dengoro was moving with the faster current of the river and actively swimming so it wasn't long before he'd caught up with Ellich. He hooked an arm around the squirrel's and started moving towards the marshy riverbank. "Ellich, are you all right? Did you get hurt in that fire back there?"

"I...I dont know..." Ellich was lazily clinging on to Dengoro as he was being dragged to the side of the river. "I cant remember..."

"Well... That's not really a good sign, is it?" Dengoro dragged the both of them up onto the bank and promptly flopped down on the muddy soil. "My towel probably got toasted back there..."

"Heh same with mine." Ellich lay limp on the wet ground. "Do you have any idea what just happened?" Ellich looked over to Dengoro, now regaining some sence back into him.

"I think they were moving a barrel or something," Dengoro mused. "Someone had a fire going, it was a barrel of alcohol, they moved it past the fire... Thing burst into flames. That's just me guessing. They weren't pouring water on the fire so I bet it had alcohol or oil or something involved."

"Huh well at least I made it out alive. Strange thing." Ellich looked out at the tradeship. He then let out a sigh of relief. "At least its over."

"That trade ship is gonna need some renovation..." Dengoro was becoming aware of his being covered in mud from the bank. On one side, at least. "I'm gonna pop back in the water, rinse off... I'm plain filthy. We might want to get in the river upstream from the dock, though..."

"Yeah sure." Ellich stood up, a little off centered at first, but then he started walking onward. "Come on lets go." Ellich headed off.

Dengoro followed silently. This Ellich was certainly an interesting character, and it would be interesting to learn more and more about him with the passage of time. In the meantime, though, he planned to just follow. I wonder if he knows Linx.

"Right then here we are." Ellich walked into the river washing himself off. "There better." He looked and watched Dengoro follow.

Dengoro eventually eased himself into the water alongside Ellich and started washing himself off. His lack of a washcloth and soap made it difficult, but at least he was able to get all the dirt off. He finally spoke as he carefully got out of the water and went for his towel. "OK... I'm sick of swimming now."

"Heh same." Ellich walked along side Dengoro, hoping to find his towel intact. "Ha its still alive!" Ellich picked up his towel that was located on the ground, and started washing himself down.

Dengoro had himself dried soon enough, but his recently being wet made his fur look rather... Strange. He watched Ellich drying himself off curiously, letting his eyes move over the squirrel's body unrestricted. "Yeah..."

"Heh all dry." Ellich started pulling his clothes on, and at the same time started walking back to the fort. "You dry yet?"

"I guess..." Dengoro hadn't even brought any clothes to get back into. He put his towel around his shoulders and followed Ellich. "My shorts are soaked. And freezing. I'm gonna need to change out of these."
