[Ironhide doesn't sound injured or worried or angry or anything, but he doesn't usually call for help like this. Xanth almost asks if he's lost another lobster, but then he remembers that Ironhide probably doesn't have them anymore.
That's sad.
Still, Xanth shoots a quick message to Ironhide:]
I-I'll-- be right th--there.
[And then he's off!
By "up here" he can only assume Ironhide means his room, and so in a few minutes, there's a knock on Ironhide's door.]
[Xanth would reach up to try and take it, but even if he's noticed a little bit of growth lately, he's still nowhere near tall enough to reach Ironhide's head.]
[Ironhide wants to keep it. That almost seems strange until Xanth remembers the frog he had on the Elegante. A different sort of frog, to be sure, but frogs are frogs.
Xanth puts a finger to his lips.]
U-Um, well, it-- i-it needs a-- a place to... s-stay, like, a, a cage or-- s-something, and you... y-you need to-- to feed it. I... I-I think they-- e-eat bugs, b-but I'm not... sure which...
[He sounds a little sheepish about it. He wouldn't keep the thing around if it didn't remind him so sharply of C4. And, therefore, his missing partner.]
[He sort of hunkers down a little as Xanth talks, listening to him.]
[Xanth follows Ironhide's gaze. No, it won't be easy - Ironhide's hands are gigantic. A handful of frog for Xanth would only be one frog, but Ironhide could easily fit five, six, eight, fifteen...]
I--I can-- I can help!
Um.
I-I mean, I, a-at least-- with-- th-the cage? I-I'm-- I'm not th-that bad with a h-hammer...
That's sad.

[Why, you might ask?]
[There is a frog on his head.]

Xanth points up at it. Opens his mouth. Closes his mouth. Bites his lip. Pulls his hand back. Scratches his cheek.]
Is-- that's--
Wh-why do you have... a... a-a frog?
Reply
It followed me from the springs.

D-Do... do you... w-want me to-- p-put it back?
[Because he will! If Ironhide wants him to!]
Reply
... No.
[He pauses.]
There... something I should... be doing? To look after it?

[There are so many kinds of bugs, Ironhide.]

Where do I find these things?

I-I think you-- you might have to build a--a cage, though. I-I mean. I don't-- I don't think th-there'll be any p-premade.
B-But we-- we could a--ask around?
Reply
[And then he looks down at his hands.]
[That's not going to be easy.]
Right. Got... it.

I--I can-- I can help!

Good. That will work.
... Knew I called you for a reason.
Reply
S-So I guess-- I guess w-we should, uh, g-get that cage, f-first? It's, uh, k-kind of a... a roamer.
[but where is it goooing]
Reply
[He tries to catch it, as it wiggles away from his hand, looking for some armor seam or joint.]
It is... hmn. Curious.
Reply
[It's kinda crawling everywhere. It hasn't even noticed Xanth yet, or so it seems.]
Reply
[The frog croaks in indignation. And settles on one of Ironhide's head-crest-things.]
