He said, stuttering as he was still a little shocked, "A...And this is......Is the only place I could......I could see for miles."<br/><br/>He took a small step back, his tail tip touching the waters surface now, making a small ripple in the water, though he stayed in that same pose as before, keeping himself ready, being very warey of this large creature.
