[Looking out to the lake one might spy the Stable-Master and his elephant buddies, soaking up the daylight and messing around on the edge of the water. Soaked from head to toe and laughing his head off, Dos yells back at the offending elephants in his native tongue, words something along the line of "I'll get you back for that you bastard!".

He's ( Read more... )
She covers her mouth with one hand and tries hard not to giggle when he gets hosed with one of the beasts limbs. He did not seem to be injured, and in truth it almost looked like fun. Still, those were rather large beasts to be in and under foot of...]
Sir Dos! Are you alright?

Lady Isabella.
[Standing up again, Dos manages to dodge the offending elephant trunk that had been aiming to knock him over. He chuckles and nudges it away.]
How you doin', girl?

There couldn't have been a thing on him that was dry by this point. She approaches cautiously, not wishing to be in range of the beasts but not wanting to be rude of conversation either.]
I have been doing better, thank you.
[She looks apprehensive of the creatures.]
Are they... friendly?
Reply
[He gives the closest elephant an affectionate nudge. The creature gives a slightly more forceful nudge back. Dos laughs as he steps to keep his balance.]
They're a good lot, if you don't mind getting wet.
[He holds his arms out to the sides that Isabella might better witness his... total saturation.]
Apparently they like me.
Reply
They apparently like you very much.
[With the apprehension eased, she steps closer. Her curiosity now over-riding caution.]
If I may ask? What manner of creature are they?
[She stares up and up at them. My, she feels tiny now.]
Reply
The elephant gives her an expectant look.
Dos folds his arms, standing in silence and watching the exchange with a grin. After a beat, he answers.]
They're elephants. And the big fella there wants to make your acquaintance.

She held her breath, and nothing happened. She looked up at the beast, and the beast looked back at her.
Dos speaks and she turns to him with some small amount of confusion on her features and then back to the grey giant.]
My... acquaintance?
[Maybe they were like horses? Or dragons?
She reaches out with one hand for the creature to take perhaps in it's strange limb, as a hand shake? Or sniff, if she could find it's nose... ]
It is a honor to meet you, elephant.

He's the oldest. Biggest of the group. The little squirt over there...
[Dos motions to the baby.]
That's the one you've got to watch out fo--
[In a surprise attack, one of the other elephants knocks a spray of water his way.]

How old is-
[She really should of saw it coming but squeaked as one of the elephants sprayed water at Dos. It was only a moment before a openly amused grin quirks at him with the irony of his statement.]
Apparently, not the only one?
[If she giggled now, it just would not be polite!]
Reply
You shithead.
[Pulling his shirt over his head, Dos throws the garment to the bank and trudges a little deeper into the water. His body is strong and lean, scarred and bearing large scaled plates down his back and sides. Just below his heart, one of the plates is damaged and horribly marked.
The offending elephant stomps where she stands and lowers like a kitten ready to pounce.]
C'mon then.
[Dos starts his slow approach to the elephant. It flicks water at him in return and the stablemaster dives off to the side. Screw trying to stay dry. He's soaked anyway.]

Grass green eyes widen as Dos strips his shirt from his body and nonchalantly tosses it aside. Heat rushes to her face. She started blushing, rather badly. She could not stop looking though.
If it could be called looking. More likely it's staring.
She stares at the elephant that is playing like a kitten- they seem like such big beasts that they would be slow. That just wasn't the case.
So redfaced and standing on the shore next to the bull- she stares at Dos and the elephant battle. Not quite sure what to make of it. ]
