"Goo', goo', great," He nodded and cleared is throat, "Then... I'll meetcha'... down th'bank... down there by... tha' tree... see it? Goo'," He didn't wait for an answer, crawling backward clumsily to splash back into the water and zip away out of sight with a flicker of limbs.

The horse-man watched Billy go, ears flicking back and forth of their own will as he thought. It was amazing something like the theater could come from such a man... But then, Maybe that was the reason?
Gaius smirked wryly to himself and stood back up, making his way quickly to the trees Billy had pointed out. He found the wheelchair parked partially hidden amongst some fronds. The thing was a bit beat-up from the elements, but he managed to pull it out and pushed the thing over to the water's edge.

Billy took a little longer, having stopped back at his rock for some of his stashed waterbottles, and with one clutched in each tentacle, he swam back to the bank near where he was waiting. "Here... fill these... fer me... there'sa' lad," that said, he tossed the lable-less plastic things towards Gaius expectantly and crawled towards the waiting chair. It was getting easier to pull himself up, he noticed that much. He could do it on his first try now, not several consecutive failed attempts.

Gaius nearly fumbled the bottles as they were tossed at him suddenly, only having two arms to handle them. He stared blankly at the bottles, then at Billy, situating himself in the chair. "Fill them with what?" He didn't mean lake water, did he?

Gaius quirked an eyebrow, wondering why the guy hadn't done that himself while he was in the water, and knelt down beside the lake to dunk first one, then the next bottle under until they were all full, and capped them off. He gathered them up into his arms, one falling out and having to be regathered, and brought them over to quickly stuff them in the area behind the seat.
Moving behind the wheelchair, he gripped the handles and released the brakes, asking, "Alright, we're good to go?"

"Righ'... lead th'... th'way..." He panted, reaching behind the chair for the first water bottle to keep it at the ready, not knowing how soon he might need to freshen up.
