[ Just before Koro raises his hand Bricks is smiling innocently, green eye wide and amazed at his savior's calm grace. When his hand starts to glow however his brows furrow with apprehension. He keeps smiling, optimistic, thinking maybe he's about to explain by demonstration, or perhaps display another impressive ability to him. He'd be very clearly fucked if he were about to be on the receiving end of said demonstration... wouldn't he?

When no such demonstration or display comes, he looks simultaneously disappointed and relieved. He straightens his posture and takes one little polite if cautionary step away from Koro. ]

Oh, um... well, to my understanding the Great Nippon Salamanders have been in search of clean water. I thought if I incidentally happenstanced across one, I could lure it with a bottle of drinking water towards one of the Hanzaki hunters.

[ The bottle of water he had in hand before—oh were did it go? He dropped it not far from Koro in his fright and walks over to retrieve it, a few steps away, then returns into more conversational distance. He'll dispose of this properly in a rubbish bin when he gets the chance. ]

Turned out it was far larger than I anticipated. [ He gestures vaguely and quickly to his eyepatch. It's embarrassing but he can't deny that glaringly obvious fault. ] From a distance. An insufficient amount of water, that was. I suspect it thought I had more on me and got a bit miffed when I didn't.
