The wind died, leaving Joey stranded in the center of the cove. Without wind to blow in the sail, he couldn't go anywhere. "You have to be kidding me..." He looked around in the boat, searching for oars that were probably not there.

Joshua gave Lucian and final push, then moved away. Maybe, if the boat was leaving quickly, he could save it. First, he had to talk to the captain. The boat had paused. As Joshua swam towards it, he devoutly hoped it wasn't for fishing. His head broke the surface not far from the boat.

"Oars...oars...oars...c'mon..." Joey put his face in his hands and sat down, not seeing the person bobbing on the water near the boat. "This place always has tried to keep me here...and now...I still can't escape."

Joshua paddled closer. "What are you doing here?" He called out, his voice harsh. He didn't want to be mean, but really, what choice did he have. This guy had to leave. NOW.

Joey looked up and saw the person in the water. "Trying to leave. Unfortunately, the wind died and I forgot to bring oars, so I'm kind of at the mercy of the currents." Joey looked at the person in the water with a questioned look. "Now I have a question. What are YOU doing out here. You're pretty far from the shore, ya know. If I could get this boat to move, then I would offer to get you back to shore but..." He shrugged.

Joshua sighed in relief. He was leaving. 'That's good.' He decided to give a half-truth about why he was here. It was better than flat out lying in Joshua's opinion. His voice wasn't as harsh as before. "I know I'm far from shore. I can't exactly study coral reefs on shore you know. And I'm a perfectly good swimmer." 'Besides, all else fails, I beg a lift from Lucian or Katalina.' A small smile formed on Joshua's face.

"Ah, the corals. I like to come down and just sit on the beach sometimes and just relax. But, it was time for me to move on...heh, at this rate, that will be a while" He stood up and started pacing. He looked over and saw bag floating in the water. "Jeez...people are such pigs..."

Joshua looked to see what had prompted the comment. He made a face as he saw the bag. A few strong kicks brought him to the bag. He reached out to grab a hold of it. His grip secure, Joshua towed the bag back to the boat. "Would you take this out of here with you? I don't want it in the water." He held the bag up.

"Sure." He bent over and took the bag. He stored it in a compartment. "I wouldn't want to ruin this beautiful cove. I have spent all my life respecting this place...almost makes me want to turn back and stay..." Joey drifted off, his gaze drifting over the water and ending up staring across the sea.

Joshua's breath caught in his chest. "N-No. Don't." His voice was just above a whisper. 'He can't stay. No!' Joshua's expression only hinted at his panic.

Joey didn't hear a thing. He was in his own little world at this point. The sound of the boat smacking into something resounded through the water and air. Joe snapped to attention. "That's not good..."

Lucian watched from below the seen take place. Grinning, he swam upwards and poked his head out of the water. He was behind the person in the boat; happily he swam to the boat and looked in. While the guy was looking at Joshua, Lucian continues to search in the boat. He opened a cooler and found cokes. Lucian did a silent squeal and pulled out three cokes then quickly sunk back down into the water without making a splash.

Joey looked around the boat, making sure that everything was alright when he noticed the open cooler. "What the..." He walked over to the cooler and closed it. An idea came to his head. He put a metal cup next to the top of the cooler. If it was opened again, then the cup would fall, making quite a loud noise. "I wonder why it opened...oh well" He continued checking over the boat.
