I can complain as much as I want.

[He swims closer to Dave and like. Reflexively wraps his arms around Dave for warmth.]

You speak the language of their people.

[parodeity]

They're like nakkodiles.

[ he'd tensed up when dirk went to hug him, but he doesn't shove dirk off. ]

[splinten]

I'm still pissed I didn't get any.

[He noticed the tensing and mutters,]

Want me to let go?

[parodeity]

Consorts?

[ eyebrows raising. to "didn't get any". but he shakes his head. ]

Up and out.

[ flying's easier than swimming to the edge. ]

[splinten]

Nakkodiles. Whatever my consorts were, I haven't seen them.

[It's A Mystery!! spoilers: the mystery is skeletons.

On Dave's command, Dirk flies them both out of the water and puts them on solid ground.] At least it's warm out. [So Dave won't freeze in wet clothing. ...also Dirk]

[parodeity]

[ he lets go as soon as he's there. he definitely could have flown himself out by this point? ]

Hmmm. [ he has the vaguest inklings there was something weird about their session but hasn't pieced it all together. so dave just shrugs. ] Where else?

[splinten]

Where else did you want to go?

[parodeity]

The petting zoo.

[splinten]

That's the entire zoo for us now. [But he turns around? Hop on Dirk will fly there.]

[parodeity]

The part with the rabbits. [ so, the petting zoo. he will climb on though. ]

[splinten]

[Dirk makes sure Dave is settled and then fliiiies him on over to the petting zoo, with the rabbits. He's careful this time, since he doesn't want to scare the petting zoo animals! It's very late at night. He sets them down at the edge so they can approach slowly. He speaks very quietly, of course.]

Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm huggin' wabbit.

[parodeity]

[ no laugh, but a nod in the dark in response as dave edges closer. ]

After this one we can go home unless you pick somethin' else.

[splinten]

Didn't you want to hang out with polar bears?

[parodeity]

Kinda. Carnivores might be harder, though, and I don't want to hurt them.

[splinten]

We could drop by and see if they seem friendly tonight, if you'd like.

[parodeity]

If you'd like to. [ he's petting a rabbit, gently. ]
