It was...strangely sage advice, and Ch'es felt better for it. He realized he perhaps worried a bit too much about what others thought or how they felt. L'ri was right; he did need to find a balance. But where, exactly, did one draw the line?
The boy's thoughts were drawn away from the topic as he spotted the older man swimming closer. Suspicious, he narrowed his eyes and drew slowly away. Since his classmate's approach seemed innocent enough, the boy didn't lunge immediately away when he was within arm's length of him. His mistake! He should have known it was a ruse. Ch'es swiped water from his face as he fought back a smile. That smile broke out free in full when Oncaeth's ambush swamped L'ri with a huge wave.
Of one mind, both boy and dragonet dove beneath the dark waters. As Pardrith sped by, Ch'es grabbed hold of his tail and a trail of bubbles rose up behind him as the boy laughed under the water at how he was towed. While Pardrith kept swimming below the surface, Ch'es had to break away to catch his breath. Much to no one's surprise except perhaps Oncaeth's, the dark sibling burst out of the water and spread his wings in a ridiculous display before flopping across his brother's back like a fish.
