"I don't give a fuck," Ali replied to the mystery voice. He had a brief moment of surprise, but he got over it quickly and didn't even bother to turn around the look to see who it was. The voice was familiar but not immediately recognized, and it didn't strike him as threatening. Had it been a man, it might have worried him a little bit. Unknown men were a little more dangerous and could certainly be a thrill, but even without that element of danger, a conversation with an almost-stranger would have been nice. He was bored and lonely, and the last thing he needed was an excuse to get into trouble. Then he'd never get to Telgar.
He looked over idly and lifted a brow. "Oh. Hey there, kitchen girl. What are you doing out here?" he asked, though he figured the answer was obvious. It was a conversation starter, at least. He smiled lazily and sank further in the water, not bothering to watch her as she approached. He'd seen her around plenty of times, but her name was escaping him!
I like 'kitchen girl' Astoreth said cheekily. You sharding would. Shut up. Ali grumbled back. He could feel her smirking. You don't like anyone, do you?
The dragon purred audibly from her resting spot close by.I like you she said, softer than normal. Ali grinned a little. Yeah, yeah...Love you too, baby girl.
"Sorry, sweetheart," Ali said as he stretched out in the water a bit. Lump paddled awkwardly back to him and started to jostle with Bastard for shoulder space. Ali quickly sloshed some water to fend them both away. Their little feet were sharp! "But Ast says your name is 'kitchen girl' now." The dragon snorted in humor and rolled onto her back, like a lazy feline. Ali smiled at her, then looked to Syra again. "...Don't think I ever caught your old name, though. What was it again?"
