Apronia split the end of a long pole, making a fork which she webbed with cloth. She weilded it from the side of the lake, harvesting some frogscum for Professor Wigglyfish, and more importantly improving the energy flow of the lake. A few amphibian heads croaked their protest and ducked out of sight, but she continued to scoop until she had filled the large jars. She summoned a House Elf, who appeared and vanished with a pert little pop, taking the jars with him.
She leaned on her pole, looking over the vast expanse of water, wondering if it would be considered obssessive compulsive of her to apply the principles of Zen gardening to the fronds of lake-weed that grew near the shore.

The Squid was adeptly using the aforementioned fronds of lake-weed to hide himself, the reflective cells in his skin mottling him with the shades of water and greenery and sun. a slender tentacle slid through the grass, wrapping around the end of Apronia´s pole and yanking it from her grasp. She stumbled slightly, almost falling into the shallows, and the Squid let a few bubbles escape as if laughing.

Apronia recovered quickly, putting both hands on her hips and glaring at the squishy invertebrate.
¨Give that back!¨ she demanded.

The pole momentarily surfaced, wrapped in a tentacle, and then was pulled back under. He waved it back and forth tauntingly, drawing a little more away from the shore.

Now he was just laughing at her. She could feel it, and it pissed her off. So she dove into the water, quickly grabbing hold of the pole and pulling it out of the squid´s grasp. She surfaced, crowing.
¨I win!¨

The squid slipped a tentacle around her ankle and released a jet of water from his vent. They sped out underwater towards the middle of the lake.

(OOC: don´t drown me dude!)
Apronia felt her lungs were going to burst by the time they slowed, and her hip socket ached with the strain of such rapid movement. When she finally broke surface, she could only float there, gasping, for several moments, before she reached down and muscled the tentacle off of her leg, smacking it as hard as she could.

(OOC: don´t worry, I won´t. ;D )
The squid felt a slight pain in the tentacle she was manhandling, rolled over slightly and aimed a jet of water at her face, laughing a little bubbly laugh at the look on her face.

Apronia was appalled and infuriated. ¨You wretch! I´ll teach you a little respect!¨ she pulled out her wand from a pocket, and with a few flicks conjured thick coils of rope that sank on all sides of the sneaky cephalopod. With knots that would have made her Japanese ninjitsu teachers cry with happiness, she tied the squid up, swimming in little darts to tie up tentacles individually.

The squid began to panic a little as the little biped began to bind him, biting the roped with his sharp beak and now feeling a bit murderous. With a last bite, two tentacles were free and he quickly seized the pesky creature, raising her up out of the water and looking at her with a huge disk-like eye.

She struggled against the tentacles that bound her from the waist down, but it was useless. She crossed her arms and scowled back at the squid.
¨You started it.¨ she said arrogantly, feeling an absurd temptation to stick out her tongue.

Ethan watched the struggle from the shore, where he stood, shoes in his hand and feet brushing against the cool waters. Unsure of how to respond to the situation, he reached in to his book bag for one of thirteen small vials he had filled earlier that day. Producing one filled with a bright blue liquid, Ethan shakes it three times before tossing it at the impressive bulk of the giant squid.
"You calm down now," he calls, watching the liquid spiral on the surface of the water-
- and then the potion explodes, knocking him off his feet and setting his glasses askew. Must have been the wrong one, he thinks to himself. Again. He lets out a groan, hoping the squid was alright.

The water above the squid exploded, and he dropped Apronia immediately. His rather incontinent ink gland let out a giant splurt of black, and he jetted away to safety at the very bottom of the lake, in his secret cave. He ran his tentacles over himself repeatedly, making sure he was all there.

Apronia waded out of the water, covered in sticky ink and mud. ¨Thank you, piccolo,¨ she said to the young, owlish student staring at her with wide eyes.

Cain trots down to lake. He tilts his head to the side questioningly at the wet Apronia, then giggles. "You're all wet!" He points out. He walks up to Ethan. "Hiii! You're the first human I've seen who isn't huger than me! Let's be friends!" He throws his arms around Ethan and hugs him.
