cuz while he's just walkin around, he might hear some creaking, some scuffling, and something that sounds like someone making strangled noises. a few pebbles may even fall around him.
why? well. Rex is on a balcony of one of the decrepit buildings just overhead. He's down on all fours, tongue stuck on a salt pillar, while his daemon, in hawk form, pecks furiously at the back of his head. ]
[ kaeya glances upwards, polaris on his head perched as an ermine and just having a chill little ride until they see... rex? and his tongue is??? stuck???? ]
You know, when they say to take in the scenery, they don't mean it literally.
[ he sighs a bit and watches rex struggle for a moment before scratching the back of his head. well. ]
I'll be up in a minute.
[ hmhm time to find the entrance. or maybe climb up... climbing up might be faster. ]
Hey, hey, easy... I'm joking. But unfortunately all I have is this bottle I found in the ruins of one of those buildings. It's alcohol, but it should hopefully unstick you.
[ his brows knit together--you would really only free him in exchange for deets?--but he nods. or like. nods as much as he can with his tongue stuck like this. ]
[ not usually, but he really needs to know why the hell you licked this salty pillar, bro. anyways, he uncaps the booze and pours a little--sharp, definitely old, and room temp on his tongue.
which should hopefully unstick him from the dehydrating properties of the salt.
[ Here it comes!! The alcohol successfully detaches Rex's tongue from the salt, which is good because he immediately stumbles back and falls over on his ass, gagging from the horrid combination of salt and alcohol. ]
[ well. rex is just wandering about town and when he spots kaeya in the courtyard, he pauses for a moment and then comes to some kind of decision, because he approaches him. ]
It's called Tusk Love. It's not the world's greatest piece of literature, but it's certainly entertaining. I was mostly just looking for amusement and it was free so.
[ he leans back. ] What did you find? [ patting the seat beside him ]

[ bless his heart, he's trying. so is his daemon, pecking at him even harder now that someone else has noticed his stupidity ]

a piece of the building comes off in his hand the moment he tries to find a hand hold and he pales just a bit. ]
Mmm. Nope.
[ kaeya decides to take the stairs, polaris scampering ahead of him and the first to arrive as kaeya steps onto the balcony. ]
We should pour a liquid on your tongue to unstick you... something room temperature should do since it isn't ice.
[ he's patting himself down give him a sec. ]
Kids will lick anything... Barbatos...

[ in the process of trying to say...whatever that was, he pulls his head back a little too far and yelps in pain at the tug on his tongue. ]

[ he shakes it in its opaque bottle. ]
It's all I've got, but it should do the trick!

[ hey! he'll take the kick, oof, and polaris whines a bit, which causes him to turn and soothe softly ]
Sorry, sorry--[ not at u tho ] Now how about this. Once I let you go, you tell me just how you got yourself into this mess. Deal?

Did it taste like it's gone off?
[ just curious. ]
Mm, doesn't matter. So. Why'd you do it?
no subject
[ but then he pauses and has the good sense to at least look kind of embarrassed about it... ]
...I was arguing with Amparo. She said I'd get stuck licking the salt, I said that's only with ice, and I decided to prove it to her.
[ In hawk form, Amparo squawks very disappointedly at him. ]

Why would you lick something that's been supposedly under the sea for... Archons know how long? What if you'd just died?
[ raising! a brow. ]

Sticking close to the water, huh?

[ he pats polaris in wolf form, whose head is resting in his lap. polaris glances up at the pat and his tail thumps at the company. ]

Oh yeah? Find anything you like out there?
no subject
A book in the market, a rather neat bar, some interesting little food carts... that's about it. Did you go exploring?
no subject
Psh, are you kidding me? This is like the first place we've been that actually has stuff and people in it, of course I went exploring.
What kind of book? Are you a big reader?
no subject
[ he leans back. ] What did you find? [ patting the seat beside him ]

Electricity. Can you believe it? Finally, a place with stuff more complex than just something with an on and off switch!
Also, food. Real food.
