The toy attempted to growl, but again, it wasn't threatening at the very least. It was annoyed that it failed to disarm the potential threat. In fact, it grew distressed. He was now brandishing it in plain sight, and he had the nerve to tell it that there was no need to be uptight. A child was close to dying and there's a complete stranger who refused to throw away his weapon, how was it not supposed to be uptight?!

He may have been holding it high, but that didn't mean it wasn't above scampering up his body to get to that knife. It was about to leap at him again as well, but it was suddenly lifted up like the helpless toy it was. Stunned for only a brief second, it kicked and struggled, but alas, it was defeated. It couldn't move an inch. Its sea-soaked body wasn't a match for hands.

It shook slightly in fear, its eyes darting between the child and the stranger with the knife. The distress of the situation was getting to it.

Vatar looked at the toy frantically panic for a few seconds and then proceeded to help the girl. From what he could see she was breathing, if only a little, and some reactions to her eyes. Vatar took off his hoodie, revealing his arms and black undershirt, and bundled it up. He had been given basic medic duty in one of the workshops the school was giving and had a pretty good understanding of what to do. He placed the bundled hoodie under the girls head and checked her stomach for any swelling.

The lighting was sort of crappy in the area they were in so he pulled out his phone and also checked for any discoloured skin. He wasn't sure how drowning affected the girl. He had been shown some people that could drown but would not show the same effects of drowning.

" Do you know how long she was under the water?"

He was looking toward the angel but for some reason also expected the toy to respond or gesture in some way.

Sora watched him go to work, taking mental notes. It was a bit different then what she was taught, but it was a different world. She wanted to learn from these people here about medical stuff. Get some knowledge to be more help from the future.

She was looking over his shoulder, still holding on to the little animal. It was quite a rascal, this one. Would it really stop the man though? Or just nibble lightly on like their toes or something? Whatever, it was being held, and Sora even started petting the lil' guy as she answered the question. "I honestly don't know. I'm still figuring stuff out and I saw her under some seaweed, surrounded by wolves."

The girl was probably at sea for a day or two... or three... the toy didn't really count. It was too busy trying to keep the girl from being dragged to the depths. There was another force at work during that time, and it kept the girl alive. Barely. The toy did most of the work, and having a potential danger so close to her after all that didn't sit well with it at all. If it could speak... well, it would probably just threaten to hurt the person if the girl ends up getting hurt.

Left with no other recourse, the toy huffed, being slightly calmed by the petting, but it didn't let its eyes stray from the man. Fine, it was going to give him the benefit of the doubt seeing as there was no other option.

The child's eyes seemed to open once again, and this sight excited the toy, leaning forward as much as it could. But that excitement didn't hold as her eyes were dilated, and barely moved. Her lips opened once again, but it simply quivered.

From her appearance the girl was fine. The after effects of drowning were to be expected but for the most part, her inner functions seemed to be responding how they should. He noticed her lips were quivering and chalked it up to the cold night and being drenched in water. Of all the days he chose not to wear his backpack with emergency equipment it was the day he needed to help a child. His hands traveled her tattered clothes checking for any form of cutting or markings but she seemed in tact. On top of that, he couldn't feel anything wrong with her on a cellular level. A slight cold but nothing he couldn't quickly fix up

He pulled out his phone and tossed it over to the angel, expecting them to catch it, and took the girls hand into his one. His eyes fell black for a few seconds and the girl's eyes would too but soon they would return to normal and the small viral infection that had taken hold should have been eradicated.

"Call the police and tell them we need assistance a few miles into the forest away from the beach.....and give me the toy."

He looked at the girl who he was sure had seen way bitter days than this and gave her a friend smile.

"Do you feel any pain?If so just nod for me."

Sora caught the phone, looking at it curiously. Okay, a communication advice. That's pretty neat that he would trust her with it. He seemed like a swell person in general, which was a pretty good start in terms of meeting people. This place was going to be great, she just knew it.

However... "I'm sorry, I just recently arrived here, what's the police?" Sora handed the man the much more peaceful toy to the man, looking back at the phone. "And uh, how does this thing work?" She held the phone up into the air, staring at it awkwardly.

Luckily, the toy didn't see how the girl and the stranger's eyes changed to black, otherwise, it would have been in a frenzy once again. It could tell thought that he did something, something to make the child feel better, if only slightly. It was thankful, but it kept reservations about this one.

He did say that the police should be called, and that made the toy ease up. The police were friendly, especially to the child, so knowing that they'll be called in was a relief.

Before it knew it, the toy was passed to the man like... well, a toy. The toy held a softer expression, although there was still a frown, something that could say, "You saved the girl, but I have my eyes on you."

It looked to the child with concern. When asked if she felt pain, she nodded. Although weak, the girl's hand reached out to the toy. "Sh... shay..." she said with a hoarse voice. Her throat felt so dry.

Vatar took the toy and placed it next to the girl so she can have a familiar face by her. If she was still in pain then she may have had a cut he hadn't noticed and he would actually need to check her more thoroughly. Of course, internal damage was the most likely but he had to make sure. That is he would've checked it had his partner not been so useless in this scenario. Well, at least he had someone here who could help him in case it was necessary.

Vatar stood up and took the angel to the key pad where he dialled the police and pressed call.

"When you hear someone talking to you give them our location. The police are friends who can actually get the girl to a medical facility. It's their job to handle situations like this."

Vatar looked to the girl for a second to make sure she was okay before turning back to the angel.

"What is your name?"

Sora let him do his thing, nodding. After he told her what to do, Sora did as she was told. She gave their location and the situation at hand and what they needed. Of course, as soon as she gave the info needed, she poked at the phone until the call ended.

Afterword, she looked up at the man, smiling. "Oh, my name's Sora. It's a pleasure too meet you. I recently arrived in this...Universe. World. One of those two." She gave Vatar a small bow, smiling brightly. Afterword, she handed him his phone, making sure to be careful with handling it.

As soon as the toy got free, it jumped on the girl's chest and settled down. The girl herself wrapped her arms around the toy tightly, or as tight as her weakened muscles would allow her. She whined a little, then sobbed quietly. Tears escaped the corner of her eyes.

The toy simply snuggled up to her, using its head to wipe away the girl's tears, which helped the girl to calm down.

Being the only thing she had left, the girl was clinging on to it like it was her only lifeline, that if she were to hold on to it slightly even weaker, she would lose it for good. Her only friend. The only thing that ever mattered to her.
