I do float better than I expected, the dragon admitted, pleased and amused both at Deimos's joke and the truth of his words. There are sea-dragons, aren't there? Maybe I can blend in with some of them? He tested his wings cautiously, stroking them through the water as if flying through the air. The sea resisted, but he also propelled himself forward a little ways before he had to pause to drag them closed and then extend them once more before he could descend too far into the waves. Actually... this might work better than I thought.
He paddled around again, clumsy compared to Deimos's easy grace in the water, but growing more at ease the longer he managed to avoid drowning. He hadn't quite steeled himself to try diving or ducking his head beneath the surface of the sea, but he listened with fascination to the General's descriptions. I didn't think they were pink either, he agreed with a snort of cool air. But all I could remember was bits and pieces from old travelers's journals and bestiaries, so I wasn't certain. It suits her, though, he added slyly, fair warning in the sparkle of his opal eyes that a dreaded pun was approaching. Why, Jyoti and Isuma were tickled pink themselves when they saw it!
