Arkain looks at himself then at you. He shakes his head and chuckles. " Nooooo, you are not hallucinating but  perhaps being out in the sun too long has affected your vision. I am a lizard, not a crocodile." He helps steady you as you stand. He can tell you see the water. He lets out a gasp with surprise when you pull him to the water. "Whoooo there. Take it easy."  He lets you go so you can get a drink. He smiles watching you drink and spash the water on you.  "Nooop. Your right. Its very real. You will soon just how real." He chuckles lightly. "By the way you look, you must have been without water for quite a while." He grin disappears and his looks turn serious when you look rather perturbed at him. He crosses his arms standing a bit taller to make himself look a bit intimidating. "Oohh no. I am quite real. I am Arkain and this is my watering hole. And who are you?" He points at your dog tags." I notice your uniform and tags. Are you a soldier?" He steps closer glaring down at you. "Tell me, Where are the others in your unit? Soldiers never travel alone. Don't lie to me or this part of your imagination will turn into your worse nightmare." He growls deeply.
