"Yep, fuck those fish in particular," he grumbled as he rubbed at his eyes and waited for his vision to clear. The fact that the dock was empty caused a brief growl of annoyance. It took another moment or two to realise that the others were gone, and he shifted his weight onto his back foot. If the dragon had chosen this as the time and place to make his play ..<br/><br/>That thought slithered to a halt as the monkey landed just ahead of him. Luke had read enough of the classics to recognise that particular garb, and the staffs just sealed it. He gave a deep bow of respect before flicking the staff up from the ground with his foot and catching it in front of him.<br/><br/>"On any other day, at any other time, I would be honoured beyond words for this meeting," he said formally. "But this day, this time, a young woman lies in mortal danger. My companions and I are racing to save her, so I will ask you once and once alone. Move aside and let me pass."<br/><br/>He raised the staff into a guard stance. "Or if I must fight my way past you, then when I do, I will claim one use of your cloud to reach the young woman, and prevent anything from befalling her."<br/><br/>He gave the monkey a silent count of three to respond. If it did not, well, he would not waste further time.<br/><br/>
