Adventure #4b - Tiny Dino and the Big Beach
Indoors at the beach. Oh how the concept twisted his mind. He needed to remind himself every so often to not think too hard about the magics of this place. This puzzle was one not inviting itself to be solved. It was to be attempted and enjoyed despite the impossibility. Better to think of enjoying his day indoors at the beach with his little dinosaur friend. Zhyre was busy playing in the sand, burring his face into the grains and popping up back up again when he needed to breathe. Xentus watched on, amused, though trying his best not to get tangled in his mind as he so often did. The room he ended up taking a break in was likely once a bedroom, now converted into a giant terrarium of the beach. It was complete with sand, tidepools, and a bright blue sky looming overhead. Oddly though, there was no sun.

Part of him did wish to feel the warmth of the burning orb's rays upon his fur.. Akin to the standard feline, Xentus did enjoy sunbathing and resting in warm places. Whether he had his feline blood or desert heritage to thank for that was unknown. IT couldn've easily been both. He smirked to himself as the thought passed through his mind. The sand was warm at least. He had dug his toes into the sand and sifted through the grains with his fingers, letting it slip between them freely. It almost reminded him of home. He often did miss playing on the dunes. He did not miss getting sand in his eyes, though. Which was exactly what Zhyre had now accomplished. The small creature started squealing and flailing about, eyes shut tight. Its tiny arms scrubbed against its face, but it seemed to only spread the assaulting sand around. Oh dear...

"Come Zhyre, let Xentus see", the leopard cooed as he dusted off his hands and scooted to the small creature. It didn't seem to care for his words. The poor thing was far too irritated by the sand. It flinched in surprise as the man touched its side and immediately began running off, spooked and blinded. Thankfully because it was small, it wasn't going to get very far. Plus without being able to tell where it was going, it veered from one direction to another, stumbling all the while. It not for the distressed squealing, Xentus would've sat and watched it for a moment longer just out of amusement. He didn't want the thing to suffer for too long though. He made his way after it in a few steps and scooped it up in his hands, where it squirmed and squealed and swatted at him with its tail.
"Let's get you cleaned up, yes?"

It sounded like he was murdering it. The squeals turned to high pitched shrieking as the man dipped the dinosaur into a cool tide pool. The flailing increased, making it harder to hold onto. "Zhyre! Come now, be still!", the man pleaded to the creature over the sound of water splashing. He had to tighten his grip, else the poor thing would go tumbling into the water. There was no good wat to keep his grasp firm on it while trying to wash the sand off. Between the slick scales and the persistent squirming, Xentus had a literal handful to deal with. Soon enough, he gave up and retreated with it from the water and back toward their spot in the sand. On the way, he dried the dinosaur off on his clothes and made sure to clean off its face well. Or tried to, at least. Zhyre bit down will full force on the offending thumb rubbing cloth over its face.

It barely hurt, but it still wasn't very nice. Xentus frowned and tsked. "Oi, calm down Zhyre. Trying to get you cleaned and this is what you do?", the leopard fussed gently, rubbing his thumb. If not for the thick pad on it, the little thing might've been able to draw blood. "There, off you go then" The words came as the dinosaur was released back to the sand with a quiet thump. Now freed from whatever grasped it, the creature seemed to slowly realize that its eyes no longer stung. It opened them and blinked, looking around with what seemed like surprise. Zhyre wiggled its tail and immediately picked up where it left off - playing in the very sand that assaulted him. A sight that was much to the leopard's dismay. No appreciation for his help, just back to whatever it was doing. Hadn't it learned that the sand was rough and coarse and got everywhere?
