You can’t stop the change,
any more than you can stop the suns from setting.
Being called an 'airbreather' was a first for Zavien, and he laughed at the oddity of it, like he was the minority. "I mean, not normally, but it's not as easy as it sounds." Even drinking while walking could be hard but doing so while lying flat or upside down usually resulted in a lot of sputtering and water in places it shouldn't be. At least Hadama seemed to like the idea, already scouting for a place to give it a try.
Sol paused from his flying to land next to Zavien, their heads tilting similarly as the large man struggled to hook himself on the branch. He looked down to his dragon with a shrug of his shoulders before turning to watch again. If he were bigger or stronger, he might have tried to help him get situated, but there wasn't much he could do when Hadama had him beat in most physical categories. If anything, they'd both wind up sprawled on the ground, one of them probably injured - it wasn't exactly an experience Zavien wanted to live out.
When the Mer King finally hung upside down, he crossed his arms, a slightly amused smile on his face at the image he made hanging in a tree with his long silver hair brushing the ground. It only got funnier as the water was introduced to the equation. Zavien couldn't help the laughter, although he tried his best to muffle it with a hand. Sol chirped with delight, trotting forward to lick droplets from Hadama's face, only making the Dragoon laugh more. "Don't feel too bad. That's about as well as it usually goes." His smile was playfully crooked, encouraging the man to try again.
