Jae yelped as he was bodily slammed back to the ground and ate dirt for a second time. The teen groaned and spat out bits of grass that got into his mouth. Tears welled in the corners of his eyes, and dropped as tiny blue pearls. Pain flared across his back and stomach, and continued to ache something fierce.

"Uggh," Was Jae's eloquent response to James. He glanced across the field to the lake, but Jae wasn't running anywhere soon. The teen rolled over to watch James with no small amount of trepidation. "Um. . ." What now? More yelling? The demand for more than apology? Jae shifted so he could at least sit up and not feel so vulnerable.

James decided to try to push himself back up off the ground. Only for sharp pains to shoot up his entire body, causing him to collapse back to the ground. While it didn't seem he had broken anything, he was definitely going to be hurting for the next week.

"Fuuuucccckkkk....." he moaned as the pain started to set in. Before hearing a um come from the other boy. Good, at least they were both awake. Though it seemed like neither was really in a position to go anywhere Finally he called out to Jae, hoping he was in better shape. "Hey, you alright man?" He waited a moment before continuing. "So, I guess we both fucked up huh?" he said with a small chuckle.

"Nothing broken." Jae answered. He was sore but he'll live, and maybe his aunt will have some underwater remedy to soothe the aches. "Uh, evens stevens?" Jae said, repeating a phrase a friend from Hawaii was fond of saying. Though, Jae did not really see the humor of the situation. "I am sorry," he added, "about earlier. I kinda, well I kinda thought I could pretend nothing happened?"

That. . . hurt to admit but Jae's been stubborn enough for today. This kind of thing wasn't going to happen again. Jae will wait to use his magic until night and far away from town or school. He'll swim to the islets if he had too. Or maybe he shouldn't considering the rumors he's heard.

"Glad to see that makes one of us. I'm hurting, but i'll live." James let out a chuckle before rolling on to his back. After taking a moment to breathe, he forced himself up, groaning the whole time. Once he was back on his feet, he propped himself up against a nearby tree. Not quite standing, but not on the ground either.

"I'd call it even. You lied to me, and I flipped the fuck out. Just a bad situation all the way around. And for what it's worth, I overreacted, sorry." he said, before taking a moment to look around. "Hey uhhhh, where the hell were you trying to go? Like, there aren't many places to hide." He said gesturing around him.

Jae moved so that he could sit properly on the ground, his legs stretched out before him and pointed towards the lake. James spoke, and the hot-headed teen agreed to call things even. They both overacted, Jae felt, but now all that could be safely settled in the past. Where it will remain unrepeated.

"Oh," Jae ducked his head, "I thought I could make it to the lake. And under the water." Where he could sulk for the rest of the day. But Jae would have felt safer there. In mer form the water was his domain and sanctuary. Doubly so against a fire-powered teenager.

"Smart." James said flatly, "I'm willing to bet you're a better swimmer, and you get your powers in the water.. I don't." James said as he looked down at Jae, the other teen clearly in pretty rough shape. Then again, James imagined he didn't look much better.

"You sure you're alright?" he asked, after a moment. "I did hit you pretty damn hard back there, and I'm probably gonna get myself checked out too. Save a little trouble when get I back to the dorms."

He let out a small laugh, before continuing. "And I wasn't bullshitting you earlier. If you wanna go look for some animals together, I'd still be down to do that. If.. If you still want, that is."

Jae still kinda wished he was in the lake. He always felt more confident in the water. It was probably because of the tail. His fish tail made him feel stronger than he was. How could he not feel great swimming at incredible speeds through the water?

"I'm fine. I'll be fine. My aunt can patch me up." She's sure to have some kind of seaweed and cucumber drink or starfish poultice or something. There was a room in their house filled with various vials and jars that smelled. "Ooh. . . That would be nice. I. . ." Jae laughed, the sound a little helpless, "I havn't made many friends since coming here to Manta Carlos."

James smiled a bit as Jae assured him he would be okay. That was a relief. Looked like he could take a hit, which is more then James could say for himself. Finally pushing himself off of the tree, he managed to get back on his feet.

Looking down at Jae, he offered out his hand to help him. "Well, let's do it then. You got a phone on you?" he asked before chuckling a little bit at Jae saying he didn't have many friends. "Well, you can consider me a friend" he said, grinning.

Jae took James hand and stood with the other's help. Back on his feet, he pulled his phone from his pocket (unharmed from the fall). It had a simple black case, and was new. The only numbers he had on it was family.

"You can, you can consider me your friend too." He gave his number, and took Jame's in return. "See you around?" He should probably think of getting home soon. His aunt didn't like it when he missed dinner.

James

Once James got done getting Jaes number, he nodded in agreement. "Hell yeah, man. Just text me whenever, and we'll set something up."

And with that, he set off towards the clinic. This had been a total shitshow. From start to finish. But, things had all worked out in the end. He'd made a new friend, and he was looking forward to meeting up with Jae again. Yeah he was a lot worse for wear, but that was a necessary evil. All in all. He'd say everything had gone pretty well.
