The group was immediately greeted with the scent of pine. Conifers created a sweet-smelling forest, ferns poking up where one might've expected grass. An occasional ginkgo tree dotted the woods as well. However, there was also the feeling of humidity and the smell of fish and salt, what Riku knew meant there was a nearby coast. Metallic blue dragonflies slipped effortlessly through the air, sometimes dancing with each other.

With a smirk, Riku looked back at the rest of the party. It wasn't the same time period, but there was plenty to be seen, regardless. This was going to be fun.

"Hmm... The only way to know for sure would be if we could bring it with us, but..." Link eyed the small creature for a moment. The sounds it had been making before had sounded like calls of some sort. It was possible the dinosaur was a social animal and taking it from its pack or flock might be a bit cruel.

After a moment's thought, Link sighed, "It might be better off staying here. For all we know, it has young ones to look after."

"Plus who knows? Maybe this little guy eats the lizard that would have eaten the mammal that eventually gave rise to humans." He gave it a little smile of wonder. Judging by the look on the animal's face, it wasn't reciprocated.

Riku stepped back from Link, slowly loosening his grip over its mouth. He didn't want to drop it, so he needed an extra hand for dexterity. That being said, if he was bitten he'd have little other choice. He let go and it eyed him, cocking its head while still in his arm. "What, you're okay with me now?" Gently he stroked the ruffled feathers on its head, but it hunched its shoulders a bit. Clearly the animal was still uncomfortable with the situation. "I'm going to let him go, okay?"

"That's an interesting thought," Link mused, watching the creature's response both when Riku let go of its muzzle and when he petted it. He gave both boy and dinosaur some space, fully expecting the animal to want to go as soon as it thought it could get away.

"We've probably the poor thing enough anyway."
