A’tay worried slightly that Kalea was sneaking down to the ocean—especially when she couldn’t swim. He’d feel horrible if they simply left her behind and something happened. Not that he would have! But if they hadn’t stopped or realised who it was and went further down the beach? That was all too likely and he frowned. Maybe that was just his own fear of the deep water talking and he kept his mouth shut. Kalea didn’t need someone else telling her what to do, something he had a feeling happened a lot if she was sneaking out.
“You’re certainly welcome to hang out with us while you dry off. We can give you a ride back up as well.” Was he willing to be her cover story by offering to say they came down here together as well? Maybe. Although he’d feel bad lying to F’drel and would no doubt cave the instant the greenrider turned his sharp gaze on him. He’d worry more later on and enjoy the time at the beach for now and A’tay moved to sit on a nearby large rock.
Pretty big! To you, at least. Kind of small to me. But maybe about your size, Xyxyth replied as he studied Kalea, taking her measure and thinking about the large fish he had seen before. But they look peaceful! I bet they’re very nice and wouldn’t hurt you, Xyxyth quickly added when he realised the girl might be afraid. He gave A’tay a look as well, wondering why the large fish had yet to factor into his fear and decided that he was right in his assumption that the fish were harmless and friendly.
Having a much larger dragon splashing around in the water is a pretty good insurance policy for keeping me safe from your giant fish, Xy, A’tay remarked, picking up on the unspoken portion of the conversation. He probably would freak out about them if Xyxyth wasn’t around but since he’d never even seen one in the distance, A’tay hadn’t bothered to dedicate a portion of his fear to them.
