"Hey!" His fingers closed around warm water and nothing else as Soleil snagged the pebble he'd been aiming for right out from under him. He stuck his tongue out at her, just as if she'd been her father, but his grumbling faded into an embarrassed huff as she dropped it into his jar instead of her own. "...thanks."
He did shuffle a little further away to continue his hunt, and soon he had several stones and pebbles of every rainbow hue in his water. Some were dull, others sparkled with flecks of mica in the light, and still others had a faintly iridescent sheen, capturing several colors depending on the angle. Tal raised his jar to admire it in the full sunlight, and glanced over at his guildmate with another accidental grin. "Yeah! If this doesn't do it, I dunno what will. Rainbow water with rainbow rocks in it. Frey's gonna love it!" No one could accuse them of doing less than awesome on their task, of that he was certain. And as long as Frey liked it, he didn't give a ningo's ass what anyone else thought.
"C'mon, let's get these back t'Halo. Boreal! Back t'the ship!" He called for his dragon, who had slithered off into the geysers and come around behind Diana underneath the cover of their spray, looking like she was ready to pounce on the young wolf and roll her into the water. Tal's call interrupted her plans and she straightened with a roll of her reptilian eyes, huffing her annoyance at his timing.
