Arriving in Kithika is unpleasant for the most part. Transport through the glass vessel deposits you in the middle of a thick and murky swamp, with air so hot and humid it feels as though one is breathing through a wet towel. This is a place of perpetual night and there are no celestial bodies visible overhead through the twisted vines to break up the blackness, making the only light visible that which comes clumps of marsh fungus that emit a steady glow in a variety of muted colours: pale blue, whitish green, watery mauve. The only other light comes from those who can generate it themselves and that will reveal numerous broad-leaved trees, in some places standing too thick to move through. Below, knee-deep water laps in swirls at their legs, accompanied by the occasional slithery feel of something moving in the bracken against wet limbs, gone before it can be identified. A variety of strange noises from creatures of the swamp fill the air with buzzing and hoarse croaking, interrupted by the screech of mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds darting past and hungry for a meal.

OOC NOTE: Characters will not be able to progress past the Temple and the Grounds for 48 IC hours after which point, the way to continue onward to find the dragon will be discovered. The second log will be posted on the 17th, to help spread out the tagging. Thank you!

Instead of looking heartbroken and let down Teddy actually cracked a grin. He didn't think finding a way to avoid conflict was a form of cowardice. Especially when he assumed Scott would have given up his ride to help someone who needed it if he came across such a person.

"Smart move. I've never tried using my powers to shrink myself before. Maybe I should give it a try next time. It would probably have saved me a few bruises." Not that...he showed any signs of being bruised. Not anymore. Doesn't mean they hadn't hurt when they happened though.

"Maybe. There seem to be a lot of stuff sitting at the bottom of the pond. Money, jewelry, other small, shiny objects. I'm just not sure we should risk disturbing anything."

Sometimes Scott forgets Pym particles aren't the only way of downsizing one's self. Maybe it's because he's spent so long in a world of his own making surrounded by nothing but, or perhaps it's because he's met so few true shapeshifters, but either way, his eyes flick to Teddy with some interest and he straightens, the (not really) mystical tablet forgotten as he studies Teddy.

"Can you really do that? Not the actual shapeshifting part, I know you can do that, but going really tiny? I mean, not that you have to be super tiny to hitch a ride, but when you shapeshift, does it have to be into something that actually exists, or could you do it based on just one dimension, like size or shape?"

There's animation in his voice, perhaps a bit more than there ought to be given their situation. But hey, you never know, maybe figuring this stuff out now will help them in the future, against.....well, against whatever else is lurking out there in the fog.

Teddy doesn't seem to mind this new line of questioning. It's not as if he gets asked to talk about his powers very often. There's nothing really mysterious or unique about his abilities. So he takes a few moments to consider Scott's questions before answering with a shrug.

"Probably? I mean, my Hulkling form, while vaguely modeled after the Hulk, doesn't really look that much like him right? It's more a creation of my own. With the claws, wings, and protective armor." He raps his knuckle gently against the armored shell like plate that covered his shoulder. "And I can make myself bigger at will. So it makes sense that I should be able to do the reverse, right?"
