Esk is for treasure (Cath)

[Maggie]

{desc=Adorable whers is be adorable}Gennesk did not have the best of memories, but some things were important. He remembered that Delicious was only delicious for lick. He remembered that G'lin was still his Mini-mine even if he was mostly Mini-Ana's now. He remembered to be gentle and sweet with little humans. He remembered that the evil Honk-thing was lurking somewhere and he had convoluted plots to eat it without making Kisk sad. The most recent addition to his list of Important Things for Know was that he had won Esk's maiden run and that she was now his treasure and his friend and that he got to bring her presents and try and impress her like Genner tried to impress his Pretty W'lin. It was something that made him highly pleased.

He had spent a lot of time planning for this. He bounced along the hall by himself, ignoring everyone around him. His handler was spending time with Pretty, again, so it was the perfect time to put his plan into action. He trotted over to the little nook where he had hidden the shiny rock he had found on patrol the other day. It was greenish, kind of like Esk, and it had shiny flecks in it, which were pretty and queen-like, like Esk. Who was a lot less scary and nicer than stupid bossy queens. Although some greens were very mean. And scary.

Esk wasn't, though. Gennesk made a happy rumbling sound as he made his way to the interior wher pool. Esk-treasure? Gennesk is be have present for pretty Esk-treasure. Esk-treasure is for swim?

Esk was very fond of Gennesk, although every time Edison, amused, asked her why, she favoured him with a different and unrelated answer. Mainly, at the end of the day, she liked him because he liked her, and gave her things, and treated her like a princess, just like Edison did. She spoke of the brown in glowing terms, without even the slightest doubt crossing her mind. Of course, if he ever forgot about her, she would turn on him in a heartbeat...so it was probably a good thing he considered her important, and wouldn't have to find out just how nasty she could be.

Floating just offshore, she raised her head fully out of the water when his voice entered her mind. Gennesk-wagon,[/i] she replied. It was a term of very great endearment, because her Trader-handler had told her you got treasure in wagons, and also Gennesk was big enough to carry her around on his back sometimes. And she liked that, because her head was very big and heavy and she didn't like it much. Hence swimming often, where she felt as light as a butterfly. Bring new treasure? Splish![/i]

The green waded quickly out of the pool and shook herself off before strolling up to him, an effect which would be much better if she was sleek instead of stocky. As it was, only a mother could love her face. Or Edison. Or, presumably, Gennesk. Esk wash, shoosh-splash,[/i] she said. Gennesk give present, Esk love, then swim?[/i] Spending some time in the pool with him would be lovely, but mainly she wanted to see this amazing present.

Gennesk puffed up with pride at being called a wagon. He wasn't too sure about her reasoning in calling him that, but she said it with affection, so that meant that whatever her thought process, it was a compliment and he liked compliments.

He was not the most astute observer of the female form, wher or ootherwise, but he still watched Esk slink out of the water with appreciation. She was strong, which was a very good trait in a wher. She wasn't sleek and pretty like dragons, but then again, an ugly face was very useful when needing to be a terrifying guard, so the brown considered this to be a very desirable trait indeed. She was a very, very pleasant and pleasing wher and he was very glad they were special friends. She was very special, better than any queen, he decided, puffing up with pride. He was very, very smart to have caught her.

He very carefully deposited the shiny rock in front of her, his eyes whirling an excited green. Is be rock! Esk-treasure is be shiny prettier than queen, Esk-treasure is be strong, Esk-treasure is be green! Rock is be shiny, strong, green! Rock is be for Gennesk show Esk-treasure Gennesk is be know why Esk is for treasure. He made a little bit of a happydance, his eyes whirling quickly with pleasure. He was very pleased with himself that he was good at getting presents.

Esk-treasure is for swim? he finally asked, eying the water she had come out of.
