There was no possible way for him to leave her, she saved his life in the short version of it besides being a gift to her. His eyes closed and he laid his head in the snow, shimmying his form to make the snow form about him. His arms moved and tucked under his chest as he laid flat. If he had his head hidden, he'd look like a snow drift.  His eyes cast upon the lake as he growled, "The snow is made of water and feels nice on my body. I don't need to be submerged now... I did... Because I needed to wash away the form I take when posing as a mortal man. I've been in that form too long and doing so made me vulnerable... To where I nearly died." Lifting his head he looked to her, "If you had not taken me- I might have died. For that- my life is now yours." He then laid down again and ate more of the snow for a little. Chomping down on it and enjoying the fresh fluff, "Fish, wild game, domesticated animals... Like cows or such - it really doesn't matter. Most water dragons eat fish and kelp or other water plants. I eat anything. I like wild game mostly. Sure dragons can out eat people but I'm used to small meals." He folded his wings and sat up, chuffing like a tiger before speaking, "How will you get me into the stable? Do you want me to follow in the snow? No one can see me in the snow - I blend well with it." He said and shook out his body a bit. Making his fur much fluffier.
