With Crow around, a girl can feel safe.
It's Crow.
Debris from another capsized ship. These must be dangerous waters.
Shipwreck debris.
There's a coil of rope among the debris.
It's a coil of rope.
Emerald green, and clear as the morning sky. That's perfect holiday water.
It's teeming with life.
I could really do with a change of clothing, like a bikini and a pair of sunglasses.
I could get lost if I just wander off into the jungle with no idea of what the island looks like or where I'm heading.
Tempting, but...no. I've done enough swimming for a lifetime.
What's this, an earthquake?
April! You're alive! You're here! You're...soaking wet.
Where did you go? I thought you'd drowned. I was completely miserable.
And the chicks on this island are so prissy, they don't even care for a kiss unless you're all settled down with a nest and your own territory.
Glad to see you haven't lost the gift of the gab, Crow.
Lady, you have no idea how limited bird twitter can be. It's all "hi" this and "here I am" that, all damn day long. I haven't had a decent conversation in days.
Well, you're making up for it now.
I had a little adventure under the sea.
Oh. I didn't know humans had gills.
We don't. Well, I do...I think. At least, I can breathe under water now.
Cool. Not as cool as being able to fly, of course, but still. Hey, does that mean you're a mermaid?
I never know when you're gonna go awol on me again.
Hardly. I don't have a tail.
What did you do after I saw you last?
Well, it took a while, but I found land. Not this island, just a rock with a coupla trees, basically. But when I went back to tell you, you'd disappeared.
I thought you'd gone bonkers from thirst and hunger and drowned yourself or something, so I decided I'd better find solid ground myself, or I'd suffer the same fate.
And then I found this place. Nice, isn't it? And the best part is, there are no hunters! Only a bunch of big crabs on the east side of the island, and a volcano.
I'm gonna walk around for a bit, Crow.
I'll just stay here and preen myself, thank you very much.
I'm gonna walk around for a bit.
Go ahead, I ain't stopping you.
What can you tell me about the island, Crow?
Only what I've been able to see from above. There's a volcano -- dead, I think -- and lots of jungle. And some nice beaches.
I'd like to explore the jungle, but I'm afraid I'm gonna get lost. Any ideas?
Well...I could stay airborne and keep track of where you are, that way I could direct you if-- sorry, when you get lost.
Sounds like a super plan, Crow.
Let's go!
