"So, you took my collection just to save her?" Jack slid back underground, curiously listening to Pannis's brief explanation with his nine heads. He then crowded forward, surrounding Vivian with a probing gaze from all angles. Making her distinctly uncomfortable, he finally stuck out all nine tongues and gave the mage girl a forceful lick, shaking his head as he declared, "She doesn't taste good at all, boring. But, since it's for saving someone..."
"So we're good here?" Pannis asked expectantly, "Then you should go back to the Southern Marshes."
"How could we be good?" Jack the hydra shouted, bringing all nine heads close to Pannis's face. "You're saving humans, not hydras. What does this have to do with me, you jerk? At least give me something satisfactory in exchange, or I'll eat you."
