" i guess so. And I will...repay you with a favor. That doesn't endanger my life. "

He soon stands again, shaking himself

He twitched an ear, looking amused. "Be careful throwing those words around so casually," he warned. "Doing this will put you in my debt. Are you sure you wish to continue?"

She smiles and strokes his side. ,, Did you just want a mudbath? ,,

" ...yes. I need to find my brother and then we need to go home. ''

The kelpie just reared his head

He fixed Lise with an unblinking stare, and then lashed his tail, once. Without a word, he rose, leaped gracefully onto a lower limb, and dropped to the ground. He stretched, arching his bushy tail over his spine, and vanished into the bushes without looking back.

She strokes his side. ,, Now, lets go find Lise. ,, She hops back onto his back.

She looked down at the ground and searched for him within the bushes.

"Human." He appeared like a gray ghost sliding out of the bushes, big glowing eyes the only evidence he was there. "This is our agreement. I will lead you to your Puck, and you will owe me a small favor in return, yes?"

She calmly rides him, trusting he knows where hes going.
