Aside from his complete astonishment, at least with his own curse, the snake on his arm, he could readily accept something as out of this world as his best friend being a shapeshifting dragon without too much trouble. "And once you're back to yourself, I want to hear the whole fucking story." As Jimmy mentioned his real father, he got the impression that it was not necessarily a heartfelt reunion. "I take it, he didn't exactly give you a training manual for this?"
He nodded agreement about taking Sassy down away from being spooked by a huge ass dragon flying over them. Giving Jimmy his word to not say anything, which was no problem. He had his own secrets that he'd shared with Jimmy as well as other not quite normal human friends and acquaintances, he added, "Good luck, bro! And I hope to see you down there on two legs and no wings or massive teeth." He reined against Sassy's neck to turn her around. "I'll keep an eye out for you!" And then he rode away back down the mountain.
Back at the tipi, Mark turned Sassy loose in the pen with Marvin once again. He had seen Dragon-form Jimmy flying over the lake, and he started down towards the shore, grabbing a blanket because with the sun starting to go down, the air had picked up a distinct chill. Before he even got to the lake's edge, he saw a dripping wet and naked friend walking up towards him. Not that he cared, naked men were nothing out of the ordinary for him, Jimmy included. He did grin as he tossed the blanket over to him. "So, a packed bag would probably a good idea to carry around, I'm thinking, just in case you do this in not such a secluded place." Despite himself, Mark found himself watching his friend with some curiosity, looking to see if there was any sign of the dragon left.
"You okay?" It felt right to just check in with him, all his other questions would wait. It would be dark soon enough and they still needed to head down the mountain and back to Uncle Walter's before any worried relatives sent out a search party.
