True, he doesn't strike me as the discerning type. Sharks aren't exactly known for their good judgement.

[If it fits in their mouth, they'll bite it. He remains next to the fountain, tapping his chin lightly with one clawed finger.]

... What if he just... didn't fight back at all? That would make things easier, wouldn't it?

[... OH WAIT THAT'S RIGHT-] Ah, I'd completely forgotten! I'm so sorry, it did genuinely slip my mind entirely, just a moment I just have to...

[He's rolling up his sleeves and getting up to kneel on the edge of the fountain, eyeing the shark which in turn, eyes him back with no small amount of trepidation.]

He doesn't look terribly heavy, I'm sure I'll be able to carry him with little issue. Though perhaps we should look into a large bucket or something of the sort anyway, I don't know how well he'll do without water after all. This should only take a second though, and then we'll have plenty of time to think!

[He'd not broken eye contact with the shark as he spoke, not once, and right as he finished speaking, he cast one hand out towards the shark and then swiftly snapped his fingers. The visual effect was brief, a small, pitch black bubble seeming to appear and instantly snap to the size of a pingpong ball over the shark's head, before popping and dissolving into a fine purple mist. The physical effect was almost instantaneous; the shark blinked one eye, then the other, before with a low gurgle it just slumped flat into the water. Only a thin line of bubbles steadily rising to the surface would betray the fact it still lived, just in a deep sleep.]

So much easier with a simple beast than a person... Right! So, transportation!
