Sitting up on the rocks now, Riphest pulled his legs closer to him to allow her to get up on them better as well if she so wished. "If he does it won't be until he goes looking for me to make sure that I've made the crew get things done right."
He let out a small sigh, resting his head on his knees and rubbing his hand over the gash on the back of his head. "Those low-lifes will probably feed him lies and keep him running around in a circle for some time though...."
The Captain would search for them... right? Rip was his son... so surely he wouldn't just allow him to go missing without trying to find him... Well that was just what they had to hope. Otherwise, they were in quite a bit of a pickle. If that ship didn't turn around soon there was no way that they'd ever be able to catch up to it. He couldn't swim well yet with the head injury, and she could only help him go so far...
