The tip of the dragon's tail thumped lightly on the deck as he approached the Captain and extended his injured leg.  He'd done what had seemed necessary at the time, but perhaps a<em>little</em>extra forethought could have prevented even the minor-seeming injuries that the rat had inflicted.  Of course, a little extra forethought could have left the human with no way to escape.<br/><br/>No, if he regretted anything, it was the fact that Captain seemed to feel it necessary to tap into their limited water supply to tend to him.  In this world, that was a critical resource, and he gave Tesla a gentle head-butt as a way to try to express that.  He was careful when doing that, since the human<em>was</em>quite a bit smaller.<br/><br/><em>Smaller.</em>The concept made him pause and think a bit more, cocking his head and examining the human as he worked.  The rats had been larger than normal rats, but were still easy enough to snatch up and lift.  Even back in their own world, Gwyntaan had been able to lift larger prey than the mutant rats.  Obviously, it would require a bit more care, but just maybe,<em>that</em>could have been an alternative way to rescue his friend.
