Trinetta was HEARING the words Thereos was saying, but not really registering them much as she felt herself being pulled out of the water. As soon as she was safely out of the water, she felt all her anxiety release. She immediately began to bawl, her arms feeling like jelly from the exhaustion of waving oars, pulling deadweight Eiji to the rope, and then holding on to said rope as she was being rescued. To make matters worse, she could feel the hairs on the back of her neck standing up, and heard the scuttling of the teeny tiny legs on the dock once again. Oh no, they were back! THEY WERE BACK!
Tears continued to roll down her eyes, and like a zombie, she climbed on to the centaurs back as he instructed. At least this way they'd have to go through a whole man-horse before they got to her. He said something odd, though, that turned her attention back to him. Had the sun set on one of them? What on Earth did that mean? It sounded like he was saying one of them had died. Nina certainly wasn't dead - the screaming made that much obvious. Did he mean...Eiji?
Oh no, noooooo no no no no nooooooo. He left. He LEFT! He left her all alone...
No, that couldn't be right. It just didn't...feel right. There were many reasons that Nettie was certain, 100%, that Eiji Rasting was not REALLY dead. He'd been basically useless, floating there like a log, but no, she just couldn't bring herself to believe it. Also, he was way too stubborn to just...drown like that. Clutching the centaur, she shook her head. "He's not dead, Professor..." she said softly. She'd heard him mutter something about Rebecca just a moment ago...
Polaris...Polaris...she had no idea WHAT the centaur was talking about and she was so tired and scared and alone... Why was he talking about the North Star at a time like this? She heard Eni yelling about stars and not being able to see, and she was inclined to agree with the girl. It made no sense, what he was asking...the spell of Polaris? Ugh, she felt like she was going to be sick, and her head might burst open from all the emotions she was feeling. They had to go soon though, they were basically open targets out here in the open!!
Wait...WAIT...somewhere in Nettie's brain, that same energy that had helped her think of the life preserver was kicking in to gear again. She had no idea why she made the connection - stars were certainly not her area of expertise - but it just clicked like a lightbulb. UGH. Why hadn't he just ASKED for that specific spell? Centaurs.
She pulled her wand out of her pocket, hand shaking as she held it in front of her in her open palm, trying to remain balanced and not drop it in to the inevitable swarm forming around them. "POINT ME!" she exclaimed.
