You Tease

~~Elient-20-1362dr
*The middle of lake Umber*

The cool air of early morning worked better than a cup of gnomish tea for Rin. The fighter continued stretching as he looked out over the landscape.  His shoulders making a satisfying crackling.  The elfs sharp eyes caught sight of an overturned boat not far out from shore.  It’s underbelly rising and falling behind the waves as it bobbed in place.  As Rin looked closer he could just see the netting amongst the wriggling mass of fish Rins eyes spot a hand reaching above the surface.
Without hesitation the warrior elf clamps a dagger between his teeth and begins stripping his armor off.
Evie, the diminutive bookkeeper,  catches sight of the elf as he dives into the water and calls to the rest of the crew. Aranel, her own elven eyes drawn  the capsized vessel by the warriors splashes  leaps into the cold ocean water. . The two elves arrive at the overturned fishing dingy within moments of one another.   With knife and teeth they tear at the netting and are pushed back by an an explosion of fish as the net gives way.
From the tangle of slimy fish a grizzled merman swims away to the confusion of the elves.
