Moving up hill to where he will find the creek, he can see the Ondine is trying to break apart on him but so far, he holds her 'cupped'

(Dex plus empathy, he may spend WP)

"Hold on." softly to her "Almost there. Hold on."

"Yes.. trying.."

His long legs stretch, carrying him to the creek.

(Spend WP)

OOC WELL FUCK.

He has trouble ..she's breaking...

Happy says "Can I help sir?"

Signe presses lightly against one leg.

"Need water. Too far away...." but he doesn't give up.

Happy takes some water from a canteen and pours it on her

mixing glamour and helping it

(REROLL FOR FRANK)

"It hurts... " at last the babbling of the brook, Frank gets to it

He doesn't stop; he heads straight into it.

And Frank dives in.. it's all up to the Onead now

"There... better?"

For a moment she appears gone, but then bursts free and ... says "oh kindly giants" She floats on the surface, looking like a childling with water pig tails "I am reborn, renewed"

For just a horrible, gut-wrenching moment, Frank watches her drain from his massive arms.....

.... then takes a deep breath as she resurfaces. "I am glad to see it."

"Yes!" Happy jumps, then admits "I was really worried"

"As was I" the inaminae says

"I think you owe your salvation to Happy, here." Frank indicates "He gave you water and Glamour."

"We both helped" A smile from Happy "And Sir Frank ran and ran so fast I could barely keep up. He's pretty quick for a Graybeard"

"Indeed he hardly seems that old at all" The little Ondine nods

"Thank you." says the dripping giant.

Oak dives into the water to join his master. Of course, it's also fun, but mostly to show canine loyalty

Signe sits on the bank, but wags her tail.

"Oak... c'mon...." Frank sighs.

He shakes, and sprays water enough to get Frank again, Happy, AND his daughter

She backs off, and barks at him, playbowing from the bank.

Wag wag ("Heh. ")

That's it... she backs up, then runs and SPLOOTS into the water

now everyone is splashed... again

Frank sighs again.

Including an even wetter Oak, who looks at Frank , oddly proud ("That's my daughter")

he might play fights with Signe a bit, letting her 'win'

Happy grins "LIke your dogs, sir"

Oak is big enough to stand in the brook, but Signe is able to paddle around

"Oh, there will be hair in my creek. Ah well" The water dream says "Did I ever give my name?"

"I was going to call you Brook" Happy tells her

"I do not babble THAT Much, but Brooke will do" The little girl claps her hands happily

"You were under duress; I am Frank King, and this troll I know as Happy. This is Oak, and Signe."

Paddle paddle!

Oak wags ("Good. Strong strokes, but steady")
