Watching as Jaku tenses again as another contraction pulses through her body, Azlant looks back at the otters with some distaste as they continue to argue back and forth about Tamara's presence.  About to interject himself, he looks back when he hears her growl, drawing back as Jaku lashes out, grabbing the foreman and pulling him back towards her.  Although he hopes that she won't do anything too hostile, given her current mood he wouldn't put it past her to use him as an object lesson for the other otters.  Looking on with a mixture of concern and amusement as she sends him sailing out of the warehouse and into the harbor, Azlant isn't surprised to see the rest of the otters scatter, except for Tonar, who seems too scared of Jaku to try to move.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Well, you certainly made an impression on them.  I just hope that they'll still let us on that ship in the harbor."</span>Turning to the water-filled depression in the ground, Azlant seems to think for a minute before responding.<span style="font-style: italic">"I can fill the hole, much in the same way that I originally created it.  However, I'll need to rest a bit first; I can't draw on the same reserves of strength that I normally can while Kellus is...indisposed.  However..."</span>Circling around behind Jaku, Azlant's body lengthens somewhat before he coils around her upper body and midsection.  Nothing seems to happen for a second, but then his body begins to radiate heat, warm enough to help ease her sore muscles.<span style="font-style: italic">"There's no reason why I can't help you out at the same time."</span><br/><br/>As the lone remaining otter speaks, Azlant watches with some amusement as he seems torn between talking and simply running away; a reaction that to most would be perfectly normal given the situation.<span style="font-style: italic">"Don't worry, she's not mad at you, or your friends for that matter, really.  They just caught her at a rather...unfortunate time."</span><br/><br/>----------<br/><br/>"My friends...oh! My furies.  Yes, they are concerned, but also...eager, I think, to find out more about what's happened."  Slowly rising back up, he begins to move again, and with Suri and Tamara's help is able to move about, albeit slowly.  "Well, I think I've got the basics down...sorta.  This is going to take some practice, but I suspect that I'll have plenty of time in here for that."  Watching as Suri approaches Tamara, between the contents of the conversation and the emotions they're experiencing makes Kellus think that he's about to see another rather interesting scene play out between the two of them.
