Ryker returned Scharf's glance and thought for a moment then looked towards the girls and would have blushed if his blood were hot enough to make his face red. He mumbled something under his breath and mentally shook whatever thoughts were going through his head away, forever casting them to the depths of whatever abyss lurked in his mind.
"Yes, my anima swims. Though, I suppose that water is a tad bit cold right now." he did catch on to Scharf's subtle, or maybe unintentional attempt to join Raven and Hinda into their conversation. He was curious as to what their anima was. Among the group now was an otter, a snake and a crocodile... He trailed off.
"Scharf, you swim, right?" Of course Ryker knew the answer, but perhaps Scharf was one of those people who didn't care to swim. If he did, Ryker probably wouldn't get in the water. Scharf was definitely an awesome and enjoyable person, but self-preservation came first and self-preservation told him to never get into water with a crocodile, least of all one you didn't know. (Or any animal that is adept at swimming and territorial, he'd learned that lesson before.) Perhaps if he knew Scharf more, Ryker wouldn't mind taking a swim, but he wasn't trusting, as much as he seemed to be.
