Guile shook his head, "Nah, won't work. The sand's too soft to fashion like that and we'd be vulnerable to sandstorms. We might have better luck with one of those larger pieces of island." he said, directing their view with his finger, "We might be able to find one that works as a shelter on its own or we could dig under it a bit since the sand under would be slightly cooler and might be able to be preserved by a thin coating of ice if you can handle it, Cyron."

"Thats fine..." he muttered. He didn't see how ice would stand up for very long in this kind of environment, but anything if it held up chances for survival. He set off to find one and it was at least half an hour of trudging through sand and over dunes until he found one that was suitable. It was a giant piece of the island, held together by the roots of several small trees that now lied shoved into the sand. It had a sharp overhang to provide decent shade and shelter, and after some digging both into the sand and a bit deeper into the chunk itself, it provided a decent and cooler shelter. He had glazed the interior of it with a coating of ice, which, although slowly beginning to melt, provided more stability and coolness. Finally finished, he sat down in a corner for some much needed rest. The other two had seemed to have shared his sentiments.

Guile collapsed against one of the walls with a deep exhale, "I hope storms are frequent here, i'm not liking having this low power when we're probably being hunted by malice." he closed his eyes, enjoying the coolness and trying to regain some energy.

Arinna watched as Cyron and Guile made their shelter, still fighting dizziness and not really knowing what she could do to help. Once they had finished, Arinna staggered into the sand-cave and collapsed against one of the walls, unable to go farther in than a few steps. Sitting against the wall, Arinna closed her eyes and just sat still as her head throbbed again. She sat there unmoving, not even caring that the cut on her forehead had started bleeding again down the side of her face.

Cyron, who by now was half asleep, overheard Guile's plea. His eyes still closed as he heard the other two plop down as well, he responded dully, "If it does, you can hardly expect there to be any rain for Arinna's sake. Snowfall's out of the question by far." If it had even been intended to be a joke, it really hadn't come out as one. He continued on, perhaps with a bit more practicality. "At any rate, get all the rest you can. Nighttime will be our only chance to travel, and the sooner we can the better." He doubted that he or they would be able to get much at all, but they did have all day. Funny to think that so much had already happened today, and yet it all happened within a few hours after dawn. Depending upon where they were moved, of course, affected how much daylight was left, but if they were still on Neogea, then the best bet was that they were in Geotiana to the south of Hydrotia and thus might not have lost much time.

Guile opened his eyes a little and noticed a cut on Arinna's head had begun to bleed. He slowly got up and moved over to her, "Here, let me take care of that cut for you. The sand will only make it worse." he said, pulling out a spare shirt tearing it into strips and folding a few to make a pad and used another as a wrapping, applying gentle pressure to the wound, "I guess it's lucky that the only training i went through in the military was basic first aid." he said with a feeble laugh, "There you go, it should heal a little easier now."

Arinna opened her eyes as Guile knelt down next to her and made a field bandage for her head. She gasped and flinched as he applied pressure to the cut, sending fierce jolts of pain through her head. When he was finished, she looked up at him with as much gratitude as she could muster and said, Thanks...I think.

Guile gave a weak smile and fell back against the wall again, "At least you didn't need me to sew it up, i'm afraid i'm no good with a needle and thread."he said with a very faint attempt at humor before he closed his eyes again, subconsciously he attempted to form some electricity in his hand, but all that resulted were a few weak sparks.

Cyron briefly opened his eyes a bit at the mention of Arinna's cut, but slowly closed them again. Getting no response he remained quiet, and only half listened to everything else. Rest eluded him, even though he felt like he could just fall over unconscious at any second. Rather he was now stuck in a sort of swirl of thoughts, most of them ones that had already recurred before. It was rather annoying really, but he supposed he preferred it over talking them out with the other two. He was content, even if he was exhausted, and yet at the same time slightly nervous about what might lie ahead. These thoughts and emotions continued to come to him as he sat there, silent and motionless.
