As they get closer, the figure that they thought they saw earlier comes more into focus. Drake is a tall, but muscular man who stands at 6'7", and weighs about 230lbs. His blond hair is of medium length, and he has a scar under his left eye. He's currently wearing just his pugilist shorts and Black Skirmisher Boots. He has a light tan, because he's been working out and keeping up with his fitness as he lives on the shore line. He's unarmed, but his backpack is nearby.

Jimmie hopped off the raft and kissed the ground. "I don't think I am ever gonna fly again." he said aloud.

"Flying certainly wasn't my choice," Tria commented as she climbed out of the raft. Her skirt and hair were drenched and she set about wringing them out. Looking at the man standing there, she eyed him through her lashes as she twisted her hair.

Bear Lifted Benji up and stepped out of the raft, making sure that they had all of their possessions, he walked forward onto the shore several feet from the man and bowed his head.

Drake had watched them get out of the boat, and figured four to one wasn't very good odds for any man, but to his astonishment one of these guys walked up to him and bowed his head. "You don't have to bow to me," he said slightly confused,"but if you're here to kill me you better think twice about it," he continued replacing his slightly confused look with a much serious one.

Bear sat Benji down gently next to him and took off his helmet. "It is not my wish or desire to harm you Sir, unless you give me not other choice in the matter." He said softly as he extended out a friendly hand to the Man.

Drake shook the man's hand, and turned around to grab his backpack, "so, why are you out here, and the matter of fact who are you guys anyways," he said now grabbing his shirt out of his backpack and putting it back on, "cause I wasn't expecting any visitors today?"

"We weren't expecting to be visiting anyone today." Jimmie said as he brushed the sand off himself.

Tria finished wringing the water from herself, but she still felt heavy and waterlogged. Walking slowly towards the others, she stuck close to Jimmie, eyeing the stranger.

Meanwhile, Benji also tries to dry himself off, silently watching everyone in this exchange.

"Ah, please forgive me." He said shorly bowing his head and taking off the skull cap." My Name is Bear, and these are my frineds, Benji, Jimmie, and Tria." He said warmly as he motioned to each of them calling out their names. Bear stood back up and put the cap back on his head and looked at the stranger expectanctly.

Drake looked at the one brushing sand off his clothes and the girl wringing out water. Then he looked back at the man who removed his cap while bowing. He then looked at each of the individuals as the man named Bear pointed out who they were. "My name is Drake, but most just call me Lucky," he said letting out a small sigh, "So, what brought you guys out here?"

"That crashing airship," Tria answered sarcastically, gesturing behind her. "Now, can you tell me where exactly 'here' is?"

"Oh, you know, the usual. Just taking a leisurely flight followed by a fun filled life raft flight and gun fight." Jimmie said, "How do you spend your weekends?"

Bear looked back at his companions and then back to Lucky. "We all awaoke on an airship, in the prison cells for what we know now why or what of at this time. While Making our escape we found this delightful young man." He said softly, motion for Benji to come over to him. "We not know of where we are Sir. And we were hoping that we would be in your good fortune to know." He asked politely.

Drake remembered seeing that airship and shrugged a litte."Well, currently you are on a shoreline next a nice little shack where I've been living," said Drake to Tria," Oh and your name was Jimmy right?" "I spend my weekends training my body to become stronger, faster, and to endure more hardships then anybody else. He smirked after answering their questions, but took a slight liking to Bear given that he seems to be the voice of reason behind this group. "Sounds like you guys are having a rough time just like me," he said then continued," but if you go just beyond the ridge of that hill over there you will find a nice trail thats easy to follow, and it will take you to the city." Drake then points to the ridge of the hill to show Bear where it's at.

Tria resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Which city?" she inquired as politely as possible, which wasn't much given her current annoyance at the situation.

"Oh, well aren't we just Mr. Fit-n-Trim." Jimmie mocked under his breath as this Drake fellow returned his attention to Bear. "These two gotta be brothers or sumthin'." he thought to himself.
