"Okay. Okay, I can do this. It's just a crocodile, no biggie. Plus I need water..." A young man muttered to himself, worrying at his lip with his front teeth. He was staring intently at an innocent looking water hole, its surface glassy and still in the Savanna sunlight. A ripple formed across its surface gently, revealing a set of eyes staring back at him, just as intent. "It's not like I'm small and fragile and it has... how many? One, two, three... many. Many teeth. Oh dear." he gulped as the crocodile raised its head and hissed lowly. He pulled out an animal skin from a bag hanging by his side, obviously used to store water. "No. No, I can do this! Just gotta be quick! That's all." he pumped himself up, bouncing in place as adrenaline began to pump through his system. His red, spiky hair bounced in time with him. He backed up a little and braced himself, blue eyes narrowed, then charged as fast as he could towards the waterline. The crocodile instantly sprang to life, racing to meet him. "Okay! Nope! Bad plan!" he panicked, pin-wheeling his arms as he skidded to a stop and ran back to a safe distance. The crocodile shifted back towards the water and slipped in quietly. "Well, not the best idea you've ever had Calor..." he sighed to himself, looking down at the dust kicked up by his skid, now covering his black boots. He brushed his hands against his tunic to get any off, the dust showing up well in contrast to his dark skin. "At least it was smarter than that really bad idea though..." he snorted, lost briefly in his memory.
