He'd heard the noises of some large thing drinking water, but hadn't quite expected what he saw when he looked up and over the edge of the boat.
Though, the bit with the mermaid had startled a little laugh out of him. "You'd think they'd learn to stay in deeper water," he said, watching Dialga with interest. He'd only seen the dragon from afar, roaming the castle, but it (he?) didn't seem a bad sort.
Kurama patted the side of the not-so-sturdy boat. "With this contraption. It leaks a little, and I think something crawled under it and died not too long ago, but it's better than nothing." And there was no way in hell he'd ever go out in water he couldn't wade in without a floating device.
His smile grew a little forced, but he kept it all the same. "I... well, there are many ways people can travel by water. I can swim, but..." very old memories bubbled to the surface for a moment, but he stamped them down. "I prefer not to, under most circumstances."
Kurama nodded, and paddled the boat a little closer to the dragon. "It doesn't cause me any pain," physically, anyway, "but deep water for someone who isn't quite so tall as you is rather frightening."
Dialga was a fascinating beast, for sure. "What's your world like? There are more creatures like you, yes?"
"I AM RATHER UNIQUE. SMALL POKEMON ARE MORE COMMON. THERE ARE OTHERS SIMILAR TO ME, THOSE THAT GUARD ONE THING OR ANOTHER." He paused. "I AM DIALGA, THE TEMPORAL POKEMON. I GUARD THE TEMPORAL TOWER."
The mermaid hissed and bopped him on the nose, causing him to drop her and she swam away.
"OW."
