No better version I could pretend to be tonight
Well, far be it for Koa to turn down a pretty lady. "Here that, Pip? Time to do a rescue," he declares with a wink to his new compatriot, broad cheeks flushed by the cavern's heat. Pipsqueak looks appropriately put out by this decision, turning back to fix the newcomer with a baleful look. She accepts it, though, and settles against the ground, tail thrashing stone and dust as her blue eyes fixate on the poor little spider.
It's Koa's cue to sink into the water. He gasps as heat shoots up his legs, biting his lips and raising his arms as his body adjusts to the temperature change. Slowly the young man wades toward the stranded arachnid, which seems rather relieved and ready for rescue when his broad hand lowers to scoop it up.
Spider on his hand, Koa makes his wading way to shore. He settles the little beast on the shoreline; it takes a second to realize what has happened, but as soon as it does the cloudlike creature scampers gratefully away. Not for long: Pip gives five seconds before bolting after it, her little legs scrambling over warm stone as she hones in on her prey.
Shaking his head fondly, Koa folds his arms on the stone before looking up at the young woman. "Water's lovely," he informs her brightly, copper eyes glittering in the low light. "Care for a dip? I'm Koa, by the way."
