And Jason followed Ash right behind him,wanting to get close close again but feeling like either he'd embarrass himself or,not quite get pushed away but simply be asked if he could get a little space.

Pam was bouncing at the waters edge in his dragon form and Snowball was giggling,letting the little ones climb carefully all over her and poke at her.

Ash might actually ask that, but not to hurt his feelings or to just push him away again. Because the only thing that would stop him from holding Jason if he got to close was knowing that once he felt Jason's skin against his...he's never be able to bear letting him go.

And it would still hurt Jason on the inside but more so than usual because he would feel the same.He'd never want to let go of Ash ever again. He gave calm wave to Pam and the Multi dashed over.

Pam picked Jason up with his front talons and spun him around,Jason yelping in shock and clearly probably feeling sick from the sudden motion. "I'm So glad I get'a chance ta' show ya' dis,Skytracer!"

Ash watched, very amused, from the side

He put Jason down to a wobbly stand once he finished then bounced over to the laminar flow river that weaved and flowed. "You have a full form,right?"

Jason nodded,putting up three fingers while holding his head a bit.

"Good,then for sure you have gills."

"What now?"

"A feature we have from our Deepdiver blood."

"Um..." Jason looked flat out confused.

Ash watched and listened, curious

Pam stared poking at Jason's neck,making the boy yelp. "They're there." He muttered and then grinned as he gently dug his claws in a little and Jason gasped,a few lines of gills opened into view. "Woah! Uh,what?!" Jason touched them,confused.

"Why hasn't he found out about the gills yet?" Ash asked

"Well he should have,if he grew up here.The Deepdivers would and should have taught him." Pam said honestly as Jason kept poking at the gills as if wondering if they where real.

He nodded. That made a lot of sense.
