Jonik smiled. "I don't know, I always thought Darius was the girliest member of the crew but for some reason I always seem to get molested. It's all in good fun, mind."
He looked around
"Well, I supposed we could drink a little longer. Then try and find a way back to the ship." he said thoughfully.

"That could work, though I only have two more bottles of win, do you think that'll last us..?" Alec queried, patting down the many pockets that existed in his massively long overcoat. It was great for hiding your stolen possession in and only looked slightly suspicious... okay.. massively so.. but still. It was a damn fine coat.
"Rather creepy in this swamp though, don't you think..? Lots of weird noises out here..." he looked around himself a moment at the croak of a frog and the plop of.. well.. something...
"We always end up in some interesting situation don't we little man?"

"I'm sure we'll manage. said Jonik. "But I know what you mean. I feel like we're being watched here. It's very odd. But, it could just as easily be malaria." He absent mindedly started throwing twigs into the water and wondered briefly why they were being thrown back at him.

"That's amazing.." Jonik stated,
"How on earth are you making those things bounce back out of the water..?" he stared at Jonik in some from of Drunken amazement...
"I'm Sure malaria doesn't let you do that..."

"That's not me!" said Jonik, looking slightly alarmed. "It's that clump of reeds over there, it's moving!
There was indeed something lurking in the waters. Something evil. Well, mostly evil. As it drew closer, it's glowing antennae touching the surface of the water, as if to sense the presense of these strangers.

"Don't be daft Jonik, of course its you.. who else could it be..?" He paused for a moment,
"Maybe you do have magical malaria..." he didn't seem to have noticed the moving glowy things, then again he really as rather drunk...

"No no, I swear, there's something down there." said Jonik "I'm sure malaria has more fevers than this. Look." he threw another stick, harder this time, only to have it caught in mid air by a slimy green hand. "See, it's not me it's him."

Jonik peered with some surprise down at the water,
"How on earth can you tell its a him..?"

Ignis, who had almost been close enough to touch the strangers was beginning to enjoy this game of catch they had decided to play. Nobody had thrown him a stick before. He could have kept them but it looked more fun to throw the sticks like the younger one was doing. But now they were looking frightened and pointing and in an attack of severe shyness he retreated deeper into the water.
"Well, whatever it is, it's been watching us." said Jonik. "what could it be I wonder?"

"Oh.." Alec stated in a slightly confused voice,
"It went away.. wonder what it was.." with a quirked eyebrow he flopped to the slightly squelchy floor and leant over the water, peering into it..

Curious again, and captivated by the strange man's silvery hair that swirled on the surface of the water and the unusual scent of old fruits that soaked his clothes. The swamp creature couldn't help himself as he swam a little closer. Lifting a tentative webbed hand into the unfamilar air, to know what the silver seaweed felt like.

Alec was slightly shocked by the rather odd looking creature that appeared out of the water.. webbed hands.. how unusual.. luckily he was drunk enough not to care too much how weird it was... any more drunk and he'd probably have been screaming however..
"Aw.. Look Jonik.. its... its actually oddly cute.."

Jonik stared aghast at the sickly green hand. "It's some kind horrible manfish, get away from the edge!"
Ignis merely crooned sofly sending a cloud of bubbles from his mouth. The strangers spoke a language that he knew...vaguely, but the words were difficult on his tongue and he had trouble thinking of what to say, something along the lines of "do not be afraid" would be nice. But how to express it.

"Aw Jonik! Be nice! Look! Its blowing buggles!" Alec stated, reaching out his hand to try and pat the top of the strange creatures head,
"I think he's trying to talk though, he..? Maybe.. I don't know.. its really hard to tell, he's all green though!"

Ignis smiled and tentatively touched a lock of Alec's hair. "What is?" he said softly, with a slightly confused expression.
