A dark-capped figure came to him, grabbing hold and tugging until his limp, soggy self was dragged safely from the tidal zone. It took time — the woman was small and he was waterlogged enough to have gained some weight.
The jostling of being pulled over land was different from the weightlessness of the ocean directing him; it wasn't enough to wake him outright, but when he came to a stop Dubloon did rouse a little.
He tasted a warm sourness that crawled up his nose and stabbed the back of his throat. When he swallowed his mouth felt dry, his throat raw.
Something was jammed against his tongue; the swallow forced it back and made him gag, which in turn made him raise his head. A sharp pain shocked his neck. He coughed and spat a wad of wet sand and what could have been feathers from his lips.
