Sink or Swim

His mind somehow had convinced him that this...dog...was going to try and kill him. He looked at him as he spoke, though his head suddenly felt like it was buzzing and his eyes narrowed. He wasn't sure what brought on the sudden change of thought. But he didn't realize he was thinking it until he was stepping closer, but before he could even launch an attack before the dog attacked first, he blinked and a cloaked figure appeared. Everything else seemingly melted away and he was in his own little world. Just him, this...firefly guy...and the table of items. He didn't know what was going on, but the hooded figure seemed to struggle to remain solid. Crystal-laden ears caught the stranger's words, and so he turned his gaze to the items at hand. He didn't have much to say, mostly because he was surprised at what was going on and the ooze in his mouth had begun to thicken. He nodded at the firefly guy in greeting before picking up Deer Dad's Blessing and handing over three crystals for it. "Thanks," He drawled, ooze dripping from his mouth.
