Quackquackquack
[The body is slumped against a tree by a pond. It's a secluded, out of the way little corner of one of the courtyards, and seems to house a family of ducks. Who are currently pecking hopefully at the body in search of crumbs.]
Quack
[The eyes of the man snap open, and Tyki sits upright with a gasp, like a drowning man breaking the surface, scattering indignant ducks and feathers everywhere.]
Quackquackquack [The ducks yell, as Tyki takes a moment to take his bearings. He touches the bark by his hand, his fingers sinking through in a way that has him slumping back with relief.]
[That taken care of, he glances at the ducks, still yelling at him in their disgruntled duck language. One of them is bold enough to dart forward and peck his ear.]
Ow! Hey now, what did I ever do to you?
