Arrh gave chase, and boy did he chase! He swam faster than he ever had before, especially since they were going right with the current. Suddenly, the dragon turned around and swam right over the whale's head, and slapped his furry tail at his stone, and he squealed in delight, swimming right along. "Arrh get land friend, right?" Cerulean squealed from the back of the orca, and he gave a high-pitched whine in reply. "Yes!" So he gave chase, swimming right over his gem shard.

@Baratheon

The dragon swam round and round, with the orca right on his tail and catching up fast. In an effort to evade him he attempted to double back around and go in the direction he had before but failed. Instead he ended up swimming over the shard and as he let out a peal of bubbled laughter he released a small amount of magick at the shard accidentally. However, he had no idea of such things and instead tried to evade his orca friend.

Arrh squeaked and squealed, and Cerulean herself had let go of the great whale to begin chasing the furry white dragon. Spewing bubbles from his blowhole, the orca continued to chase in circles around and around, right on the dragon's tail and the dragon right on his tail. It was almost dizzying! But right in the corner of his eye, he saw something glinting in among the crystalline floor of the river.

Around and around they went! It was the best day he'd had in a while but he had to go take a breath. He was not of the sea, he just happened to look it while swimming in the water. His nose broke the surface of the water briefly before he swam back down, prepared to chase Arrh more but when he saw something at the bottom of the water he paused. His one eye stared at the pretty thing while snaked his way down to it and hovered. He then turned to Arrh, curiosity in his eyes.

He hadn't been this happy in so long! The orca clicked and squealed in delight as he chased, Cerulean zipping and zooming around in the waters. When the dragon went up to take a breath, the orca vibrated in anticipation for the playmate's return! And return he did!

But there was something in the water.

Turning his melon down, Arrh squealed and turned his head to the side so he could take a really good look at the shiny thing. It was his gemstone! "Mine!" he bubbled, nosing it gently and lifting it up on his nose ever so carefully before it slipped off. Oh nose!

With what the orca said it was obvious that they were claiming the stone as their own. That was alright! The dragon had his own shiny stone so he'd leave this one to his new friend. He smiled and allowed the orca to try and grab it with his clumsy nose but it just slipped. With a giggle the dragon grabbed it with his more dexterous paws and gave it to the little blue creature to hold onto.

Arrh swam towards the stone, but Ontken to the rescue! The dragon grabbed it with his big paws and then handed it to the little blue, who squealed in joy and took it. "These Ones thank you for playing with them!" Arrh squealed in a bubbly voice, swimming forwards and nosing Baratheon's big nose in an adorable farewell before waving his pectoral fin goodbye. Cerulean did the same, but instead hugged the big dragon's mouth before going back with her big friend and clinging to his melon. They were off to plant the stone in Pisces.

[ exit Arrh and Cerulean ]

The dragon smiled and waved to the pair as they departed, glad to have had such a great playtime and made two new friends. He hoped he would see them again! With one final smile he zoomed out of the water and back onto land where he lumbered away to Pisces to take a nap.
