"Oh, sorry about that," Synthesis replied sheepishly, hoping Vinsue wasn't too put out, "I'll wait for the go-ahead next time."
She carried on pushing deeper until she was treading water. At which point she turned and dived. It was a while before she could work up the courage to open her eyes, but the when she did she was rewarded with a plethary of lakelife to behold. She decieded she would have to collect some of this seaweed before they left, as some of them looke completely unique to anything she had seen before. Therefore, she wondered if they were rare or locational. Either way they might be useful, for her or for selling.
In the end, air was the thing to force her retreat to the surface. Turning to look at the dragon on the shore, she spotted that the other was itching her neck and, on closer inspection, little strips of her skin were freying away when her claws had been. Confused and unsure whether to be concerned at first, it took a while and a lot more skin to peal before she was able to figure out what was going on there. Oh, shedding! She thought, relieved. She had forgotten all about that particular reptillian proccess. She watched with intrigue.

Vinsue noticed the girl was staring and stopped. she did not like others seeing her itch. she again laded down as she thought on how to remove the old without damaging the new. her scales where a dimer color almost like a gray. but the new ones would be bright and white. 

"I see you found some of the local sea plants." she stated than looked at the plant entangled on her head. it was kind of funny.

Synthesis hadn't even noticed the sea life tangled in her hair. She pulled it out and made her way to the bank in order to deposit it next to her bag. She saw the dragon lie down.
"Are you shedding? Do you need help?" I help peel it off for you?" She asked as she sunk back to sit in the shallower water. She had to stay submerged or get get dry because otherwise she'd end up freezing.

"Yea I'm sheading. and it is horrid. i could use the help." She said. her wings where always the hardest to clean. She spread her wings so that they where reachable.   

So Synthesis pulled herself out of the water and opened her bag to pull out her spare change of clothes. She wrang out her hair and pulled off her sopping tunic. She used the trousers she had previously removed to dry herself as quickly as she could. Then she pulled her try tunic on and removed the remainder of her wet clothes underneath to replace them with dry ones. For good measure she pulled on her cloak and pulled her hair out so it was on top. In two minutes she was pretty much dry apart from said hair which still dripped, but that was good enough for now.

She walked over to Vinsue and began to gently tug on the strange old skin that now seemed slightly transparent. When that didn't work, she pulled harder and was immensely satisfied by the peeling sound that resulted. It didn't seem to hurt Vinsue so she kept at it, quickly coming to enjoy her new task. Slowly the off white, semi-seethrough skin gave way to new, pearly white scales.

After a bit of the surprisingly enjoyable ripping of all the old skin she rolled over onto her back. She looked at the girl. "enjoying yourself." she said. as she closed her eyes and laid down.

As Vinsue rolled over, Synthesis reached to begin peeling her belly. There was quite a pile of skin beside her now and she wondered what they should do with it. They could leave it be to biodegrade but that would be a waste. Dragon skin would probably sell for a lot. It could be used in both spells and armor as far as the young druid knew, possibly more. The only problem would be carrying it.

"I am very much enjoying myself, thank you." She replied as she came close to finishing the task. She was a little saddened that there wasn't more skin to peel but she had made such quick work of it. She wondered if she could find more dragons and get them to pay her to do this. She'd love that as a job.

once the old scales where gone she rolled back over and switched to her human form. She was back in her brown robe as she stood up. "Thanks for the help that would have taken me weeks. but the sun is low and we need to find someplace safe to sleep." She started to walk of than looked at the pile that had gathered. "there worth there weight in the market."

She stood thinking that that pile just came off of her and how some would kill to have it. she shook the thought and left the room.

Synthesis agreed, although she had no idea where the day had gone. She wondered over to the pile of skin. She must at least take some of it, she thought, and picked up as much as she could. She began stuffing it into the fold of her wings, making the space as big as she could afford in order to carry as much as possible. The girl didn't care how long she had to carry it because she could just taste all the money it would make her. Having never had much before, it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Vinsue would have to get half the profit, she supposed, but she still reckoned it would be more than she usually managed to get hold of. Once her wings were full, she picked up her other things and waited for Vinsue.

"Okay. Pick up some skin if you can and then we can go. I suppose you have an idea where we should rest or are we just going to search about a bit?" Synthesis certainly didn't have a clue what the other wanted to do. She was used to sleeping under the stars and wouldn't mind bedding down for the night in a hollow bush or something, "Somewhere I can hang up my wet clothes would be good, even if it is just on a tree branch."

she shook her head. a pound f that could set you up for a long time yet she did not understand why two leggeds liked that stuff. she was not going to touch the stuff so she turned and walked off. she was clueless on a place but a large tree cult her attention. she walked around tell she fund a place she could get in and lit a flame in her hand. "this work? we may need some wood though."
