Onward: Blue

On the second night the ground begins to shake. The islanders seem well versed in earthquake safety and there is no mass panic- from them anyways. They will help any voidtreckers who don't know what to do in such a situation. The shaking is over quickly and is not strong enough to do any major damage though there are some after shocks throughout the day.

More worryingly are the thick clouds that roll out, covering the sky. Despite the memories these might invoke in the void warriors they are normal clouds.

Or perhaps not that normal, dawn breaks into darkness, the sun barely penetrating. Shadows are deep and the temperature cooler. It is not too dark to see, more like an endless twilight.

The monsters do not retreat into the sea as dawn comes. Instead they continue their attack into the day, unrelenting.

The seas themselves are rough, large waves crashing down onto the beach. The current is strong, as if the very sea itself is fighting them.

Maru watched her for a long moment... and then he sighed. Moving closer he crouched down with his back to her.

"... I can at least save you some energy." He explained, though didn't look at her when he did. He wondered how Madoka would feel about this. She'd probably be happy, knowing her. But he pushed that thought aside. He could help keep her standing if she was determined to keep fighting.

"... And yes. I can." Because none of the things out there were Servamps like himself. They didn't have the power to kill him.

"...save me how?"

Mami wasn't sure...but she would do her best, whatever was ahead. And this mysterious young man would too. She just had an odd feeling about it.

Maru blinked... He knew that he didn't explain himself in the best of ways most of the time, but he thought his actions might have spoke for him on this occasion. He supposed not. He needed words. And this was why he needed Madoka.

"I can carry you..." He explained, not quite looking at the other girl. Yes, he knew how it sounded. But without Madoka he was generally useless himself. But he was fast. And he had some strength to him. If Mami could use her bow without needing to exert herself in other areas, and he could help that, wasn't that a good thing? Madoka would be approve, wouldn't she?

"Oh!"

It must have been the exhaustion. She looked just a little awkward as she looked away. How was this happening...?

"If you must. They're still coming."

Maru shrugged. "I don't have to... I thought it would help." And strangely he did want to help. He could have just walked away and found a quiet corner to sleep. Once upon a time he would have walked away. These people they were protecting were nothing to him. Just strangers on a strange planet.

But this girl was Madoka's friend. And he wanted to help her. If she allowed him. If not... He slowly straightened. "... Then stay here. I'll stop them."

Mami nodded. She wasn't so sure of herself anymore...but she knew everyone mattered. "Please...be careful out there. Should I come with you for now?"

He supposed the only way he could really help was to fight. So that was what he would do.

Maru looked over his shoulder at her, wondering just how to answer that question. "... If you'd like. You don't have to though."
