Now, what could that strange looking figure in the lake be?

A big, orange fish?

... a big, orange fish with black stripes?

... ... a big, orange fish with stripes and fur and whiskers and a tail?

No, it's not a fish! It's a tiger. And not just any tiger, mind you! It's Tiger with a capital T (that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool!) -- King Tiger

"Oooooo."

The blond man in the blue clothes (vaguely Mongolian-style, if King Tiger would recognize such things) is standing some distance off, upwind, watching. And grinning, because he knows enjoyment when he's seeing it.

Tiger would, and Tiger does after spying the man from the corner of his eye.

What is it with people and their staring?

Cheerily, Tiger not!says, "Hello!"

Belar raises a hand and waves. "Hey there!" he calls back, completely unfazed. "Well met, friend. I haven't seen you before, have I?"

He's known for his manners back home, but it's a little hard to tell what greeting's best when you sense the one you're talking to is outside concepts like gods and men.

"I haven't seen you," Tiger replies, sitting in a shallow part of the water. "But that doesn't mean you haven't seen me!"

Ooh, someone's feeling mysterious today!

Oh play is something all dogs love.

Even Dog, who insists she's not a real dog.

A Toller with fur to match Tiger's, but without the stripes.

Wooof!

[fortunateking]

Now here's an animal Tiger did not expect to see!

Mid-pounce, he catches sight of Dog and forgets that he has to land on his feet.

Wow, that's a big splash!

[loyal_dog]

Good thing Dog is a Toller today, else that water might not be as well-received as it is.

"Tiger! Oh I had not thought to see one of my kin today!"

Well, outside their homeworld anyways.

[fortunateking]

... oof.

That was not as fun a splash as it seemed.

Grumbling quietly, Tiger drags himself out of the water and shakes, sending water droplets every which way. Look out, Dog!

"And what a surprise it is to see you here, of all places."
