This dragon greatly resembles Boreal Serpents I've encountered. There are a few differences, but they're otherwise quite similar- particularly in shape and elemental affinity.

Seeing as a number of us seem keen on returning it to the ocean as originally promised, I think we can agree it's in everyone's interest to calm it first before any further damage is done.

[A breath, then barreling through the rest with the grit of someone fully expecting an argument]

..So, I'm going to try and put it to sleep. I don't fully expect this to work, and I don't expect it to work swiftly, but all we need to do is calm its mind enough to work with. It's otherwise proven itself to be an intelligent creature.

But this will take time to manage. In the meantime, it has the body of a serpent: strong, scaled, and greatly flexible. Straying close isn't wise or likely terribly effective with ordinary weapons. Held at range and distracted would be ideal.

..As such however, this only has a chance to work with assistance.

.... Lovely.

Well, let's try to stay alive first and foremost. If anyone does anything stupid, I will not be held responsible.

[lancifolium]

That's a very generous word for it.

She's stayed behind me so far and is fine with being protected. Thank you again, when this is all over I owe you tea and cakes.

[beitangmoran]

Let's hope we get the occasion.

... If I may, can I entrust you to keep an eye on Xunxian and make sure he doesn't get hurt?

[lancifolium]

Consider it done. I'll do everything I can to keep him safe.

[beitangmoran]

Thank you. I'm entrusting my life to you, then.
