Dirk frowned slightly he had heard the rumors of the snake man as well and from what he had heard it was not going to be an easy or fun filled journey as some that Raysuki may go on.  "I had heard about him too.  From the rumors I heard the area he lives in is a very poisonous swamp.  Be careful with whom you choose to go into that kind of situation."  It was also away of letting her know to be careful as well but he would never presume to tell another seeker about the inherent dangers of their chosen job.<br/><br/>Dirk's smile quickly returned tho as he watched her stretch out laying in the sun trying to get dried again after his soaking her with his cannon ball.  This was a whole new side of his good friend that he had not seen before.  "I wish I had more time to lay around with you in the sun but if I am going to be leaving tonight I shall have to go and speak with Blaze about finding another Dragoon to accompany me on my trip over the mountains.  I wish you luck on your journey and may Gaea bless your paths granting you a safe and speedy journey."<br/><br/>After bowing slightly Dirk dove back in the water to swim towards the opposite shore.  Once on land again he began the run back towards the lake where he knew that most of the people would be starting to gather around as it had been made the formal gathering place.  Even as fast as he could run it still took nearly an hour before he came to the shore of the lake.<br/><br/>Dirk waved to the people he had already knew while smiling and nodding to others that he did not know as of yet while he made his way over to Blaze who was talking to some other Were's.  Blaze happened to look towards his direction so Dirk nodded and smiled indicating that he would wait until the Dragoon leader was not busy.
