He’s almost stumbling and dropping it when Temero tries pushing him aside as he wants to get out as well. Not seeing any type of danger in the action itself. “Temero!” He hisses in anger, the tone a more forceful whisper as he doesn’t want to draw attention. “Merrow?” Temero squeaks out in surprise, not having expected to be admonished for just wanting to get out of the stuffy room covered in weird smells. “Careful! Don’t do that again!” He says to his companion, at least glad that he was able to prevent himself from truly falling, and mayhaps letting the acid fall somewhere undesirable or worse, having either Temero or him get hurt by it falling on them. He has no doubt Temero’s acid could make one loose a eye if even just one drop falls into it. Looking around, he relaxes marginally as he doesn’t see the owner of the boat has returned yet.

Taking the gangway plank, he drops the acid and the remains of the lock in the water, and hoping he managed to wipe the remaining drops off the gloves in the water as well, just to be sure, he keeps his hands away from his sides, and makes certain to not position them above Temero, just in case. At least the pup is willing to walk with him, still looking curiously around him, and wagging his tail but following right behind him, and doesn’t need to be dragged. He isn’t certain how much weight the loops in his jean is able to withstand before it might snap, and he isn’t willing to try it out while he still wears his gloves with the acidity likely still on it. They make it without any problem to the walkway, and join the crowd of pedestrians, and their pets. He hopes he doesn’t look as stressed as he feels, they still aren’t out of the woods yet.

They need to leave the docks entirely, but running will just make people suspicious. Make people remember. And his hair is memorable enough as it is. Perhaps next time, he should try a hat? Well.. If there is a next time that is. This type of job just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. He might still at some point come back to lay some money on the deck, weighted with a stone and a note saying he is sorry for having stolen their books, even though they are a thief as well. That would perhaps be a good compensation for their loss maybe? At least Temero is still enjoying the outing, the curious pup has only ever been inside one of the rooms build for their species, and the way he looks at both any of the races or their pets as they pass them by shows he is taking in in all the ways that make them different from him.

Sighing he looks around as well, he needs to make a turn somewhere around here to get back to the city, and from there, back to the kennel so that he can wash up and set up a meeting with the bookstore owners in order to return their property. “Tem! Tem, tem!” He hears Temero bark to him, without it actually being a true bark. “What?” He says as he looks down and in the direction of Temero. Only to see the pup look intently in a certain direction while sniffing at the air. He isn’t inclined to open the link to the sense of smell, but sight on the other hand… Tapping in on the link inside his mind he needs to blink for a moment as he tries to adjust himself with looking through Temero’s eyes. Kneeling down he carefully untucks his gloves and puts them as aside, away from both people and pets, and reaches out to stroke him on the head and back while murmuring words of comfort softly, any passerby would just think he is busy with calming down Temero, and while that is true, they will also be none the wiser that his focus is actually on someone else entirely.

He feels his body tense as he sees from Temero’s sight that Mariko the magician, or who appears to be them, is hurriedly walking passed the people, looking around with a frown. They have yet to spot him or Temero as the crowd starts to become thicker, and making it harder to see. Temero only spots their cloak, but its eccentric looks are exotic enough that it at least makes it possible to somewhat track in which direction they are going. “Your doing good Temero, don’t worry.” He murmurs softly to the pup, still feeling tense, but noticing from Temero’s vision that they are leaving. He wonders for just a moment if Temero really did just now bark a warning to him because he smelled something familiar enough that could pose as a threat. Certainly Temero might have noticed how tense he was in that boat, and that he really only relaxed once they where away from him. But if that translate to knowing the scents from it could pose a threat towards them? He can’t say for sure at all. “You calm again Temero?” He questions the pup, getting a whine back as Temero looks away from the direction the magician is heading too. Taking it as a sort of confirmation, he takes from his pocket a meat treat, and hands it to the pup. Carefully he grabs the pair of gloves with two fingers, only touching the edge of where one puts their hand in when they want to wear gloves. Standing up, he needs to only glance downwards for a second to see Temero has gobbled this treat up as well, and finally start walking again towards home. He’s had enough excitement for one day right now, and he’s willing to bet, Temero very likely has as well.
