meanwhile, at the magic water pool...
- Mylz wants to get clean, but there's no good cover for her to get behind
- Zaz notices and tries to persuade her to bathe, at least offering to wash her hair for her
- Mylz is still resistant, even when Zaz offers to shield her with his wings and close his own eyes
- Mylz lies and convinces Zaz that it's "dangerous" for anyone to look at her while she's glowing
- it takes a lot of pushing, but Mylz finally relents and quickly washes up while Zaz guards her
Skjorn drinks more of the water and it causes him to unintentionally yell a flirt directed at Dibrael
- Zaz asks Skjorn why he's like this (while shielding his eyes from the man's nakedness)
- Skjorn insists his yelling was only the effect of the water, which Zaz asks him to prove
- Skjorn drinks the water again, causing everyone but himself to briefly turn invisible
Zaz complains that he can't block the view of Skjorn's lower half anymore, because his own hands are invisible
- Skjorn says that in his culture, it's normal to bathe totally nude around people
that you're close with- Zaz catches the last part and pushes Skjorn to clarify, but when he refuses, Zaz calls him out for being afraid of honesty and getting close to anyone
- Skjorn hides a tear while claiming Zaz is just jealous of his wealth
- Zaz catches the last part and pushes Skjorn to clarify, but when he refuses, Zaz calls him out for being afraid of honesty and getting close to anyone
- Zaz says it wouldn't kill Skjorn to be nicer (he's seen himself as superior until now)
- after a moment, Zaz apologizes and Skjorn admits he's never had a friend - but he'd consider befriending Zaz
Dibrael later approaches Zaz and they consider the consequences of drinking more magic water
- Dibrael drinks and is surrounded by the illusion of butterflies and flowing petals
- Zaz drinks and a faint, ethereal tune plays that only he can't hear
- Dibrael drinks again and shrinks 9 inches in height (he's still taller than Zaz)
- Zaz drinks again and out of nowhere, Eldeth, Sarith, and Topsy are struck with lightning
- the electric shock travels through the water to Dibrael and Zaz, who decide to stop playing around
- the electric shock travels through the water to Dibrael and Zaz, who decide to stop playing around
...only for about a minute; curiosity persuades them to try one last time
- Dibrael grows a beard of feathers which disappear after he sneezes
- Zaz is teleported to the astral plane for about 6 seconds, completely disorienting him
Dibrael cuddles Zaz to make him feel better; witnessing this, Buppido hands a coin to Jimjar
- Dibrael asks about the cave crab Zaz found earlier and they name it Ceviche
- Zaz pulls out his preening oil to groom his wings and worries about how he'll have to get more soon
- they flirt a bunch without realizing it and Dibrael offers to travel with Zaz when they reach the Surface again
