Although João got excited A BIT when Roro licked his hand, he chuckled it off and got away quickly at the mention of bathing it.

Bathing it! It was almost like a real baby! And a very playful one too. Though, in the process, he got a bit bored. He wouldn't get closer to it around water, not especially when bathing it was so complex--those volunteers made sure they listened to the professor well, right?!--but he went as far as he could and waited.

...

Water! Worse, oil! Oil raining! He didn't move an inch, but merely glared at it, and then glared at professor talking as if it was only a misbehaving child. He even laughed at all of them bathing in oil instead of Roro! He would have kept glaring and probably started cleaning himself, if not...

Oh. OH! Did that happen to people who dealt with dragons?! WAS HE GOING TO LOSE HIS MIND TOO?!

Certainly not... certainly dragon was innocent... but what then?..

Sadly, he couldn't get any farther from the scene, even though the professor probably wouldn't notice him, and simply waited for the others to... fix him. Something.
