"Why are you alone here?" Muir frowned. "It was too dangerous earlier. You almost capsized."
Bai Qingqing scratched her head sheepishly, explaining, "I came here with Curtis. He's eating fish below."
Muir's countenance turned even darker instantly. He clearly blamed Curtis.
Bai Qingqing quickly said, "I asked for this."
Muir understood his mate's intention. She didn't wish for them to fight amongst themselves. Therefore, he suppressed his fury and said gently, "I'll take you away. It isn't safe here."
"But…" Bai Qingqing hesitated as she looked toward the water. "Curtis will be worried if he doesn't see me when he comes out."
Muir reached one hand out to the other arm that was rapidly turning into his beast form, showing a stretch of black feathers. He plucked off a soft palm-sized feather and tossed it on the boat.
