[ A moonlit run through the forest doesn't sound like the worst request, and he does need to get back into his exercise routine.
That 'not so bad' feeling lasts until he's told to undress. His hackles are up immediately, but the people seem to anticipate this and show him to the robes. They're far too thin and short for his liking (or maybe he's just too tall), but despite his embarrassment he complies. Now dressed appropriately he starts his warmup stretches, muttering to himself. ]
Never changes. No matter how innocent a request sounds, there's always a catch.
ii. fairy dance
[ It's a pleasant enough walk back to town, and in fact the square's in sight where he can get his clothes, but the problem with the soft movement and glow of the forest is that it's hard to see fairy circles until it's too late, and he's shrunk. There's laughter all around him, a gentle shove to get him moving---and still he grouses. ]
How long?
second ritual
iii. board game basement
[ Kaiba's first act, upon being shoved in a crowded basement, is to attempt to use alchemy to transform stray rags into towels. They're scratchy and uncomfortable, but they're towels. He'll silently thrust one at anyone who's still dripping enough for the sound to be annoying.
His second act is to open various game boxes and read rule sheets. There's an interesting game about navigating an underground network of roots...hm. He'll set it up, dropping the other players' pieces at corners of the board. ]
If you're that bored, play me.
iv. pursuit of the knight
[ They don't have long before the knight appears again, so he calls for anyone nearby. They have to end this. His little dragon has been rolling delightedly in the rain, but if the storm is truly never-ending they'll get washed out. As much as he doesn't want to believe that---he's been subject to enough spells by now for even him to deny. ]
