"I'm Kari" the boy announced proudly, puffing the chest out where he stood, belly-deep in the liquid that kept boiling and stirring in reaction to their movements. "You're really big, aren't you?" he said... then shrieked in delight as the thrash of a tail sent a wave of water in his direction.

Exuberantly he tried leaping over the tip of the wave, cleaving its edge with clumsy feet and half-spread wings. Despite his efforts the brunt of it smacked into his chest and washed over the feathered appendages, darkening slate gray coat and down into something close to soaked ash or maybe a storm-cloud before lightning strikes. The boy only laughed, unconcerned about damp feathers or soaked tassels. Instead he tries to mimic the wonderful effect by slapping his own tail into the water, time and time again.

Alas, how disappointing. At best he only accomplishes a tall cascade of droplets that soak him even further, the fruit of his efforts lapping harmlessly at the sides of the maned beast beside him. Kari frowned dramatically and threw a long glance at his playmate with the full intent of asking him to do the tail splash again - and had to keep looking, because something truly astounding was happening. Beowulf began to rise, and in pace with the laborious effort Kari's jaw dropped, more and more as his gaze rose to keep contact with the thorny face. Finally, on all fours, he somehow read the mind of the colt and splashed the tail into the water again...

But this time it knocked the frail colt over completely, taken aback and unprepared as he was. Giving off a slight yelp in surprise the hybrid fell off his feet and disappeared beneath the surface, completely submerging for a good while. The struggle of legs could be seen, efforts made to rise from under the weight of heavy soaked wings. Then the surface split and saw him emerge once more, coughing and wheezing to get the water out of his lungs.
