Conversation was replaced by chaos for a few moments as human met dragon and Ancient met geckoloth and no one was particularly happy about any of it. Tal was quickly soaked through, Boreal was indignant at being manhandled, Fox was trying to grab a slippery little bastard of a lizard, and the geckoloth was getting shoved in a tub. A fancy glass tub with a long, fancy name, to be sure. But a tub all the same.
Today was going great.
Tal looked up in relief at Fox's declaration of success, but it was short-lived as the hunter drew his attention back down again and the courier quickly let go of his dragon and scrambled back to his feet. "Uh... I mean, only if y'also can't run real good?" he suggested in the strongest possible terms. "Right, okay, we just gotta... Boreal, y'can find the way out, right girl?"
The dragon looked at her human for a long moment from pale reptilian eyes before she sat down in the water and began to scratch behind one horn. The tip of her pink tongue slipped out in a blep that spoke volumes.
Tal groaned and sank to his knees in the water, too soaked to care that it was nearly up to his ass. "Please?? I'm sorry about th'tackle, okay? We can go burn down a whole grove o' void pineapples after this, I promise!"
Satisfied with his groveling the dragon finally rose and shook herself, sending water spraying liberally over the two men before she began to half-trot, half-wade out, head raised above the slowly rising water as she began to backtrack.
"Let's go!"
