The young Korat pays Seleth little attention, every ounce of his leanly-muscled cubform focused on Kley, his guardian, and his friend. Emerald eyes keep watch without blinking, following the slow and shallow rise-and-fall of her rib cage.

Kley's mind slowly swims up from the dregs of comatose sleep, and she takes a deep breath, the heady scent of water and the slight mist in the air cleaning her lungs more effectively than any resuscitation could have. Stirring slightly, she lets her muzzle drop from its propped-up position, the water flowing through her fur with cool and healing sensations accompanying it. Staying under for a good five minutes, her deep, glossy pine green fur regains an appearance of health, her blaze-red points lose the encrusted mud and blood, and the turquoise paw- and tail-tufts are untangled and cleansed. Even her short, curly, teal mane is combed out and washed, by nothing more than the gentle current. Feeling much better, though by no means at full strength, Kley slowly and carefully sits up, not trusting herself to stand and move from the stream. Dripping tendrils of mane laying against her closed eyelids, the Xenne breathes deeply through her nostrils before giving her muzzle a light shake and opening clear blue-green eyes. Managing a half-grin, she looks at the familiar sight of her Koratian friend. "Hey, Banny," she greets quietly, voice still scratchy from the toxic air she'd breathed in the Volcano area.

The cub watches his friend unmoving, up until the point where she speaks... in which case he leaps several feet into the air and does his version of a happydance. "Kley! You awright!" Overjoyed, nonetheless the male knows better than to pounce her - the colorful feline still looks a bit shaky.
