"It is swollen and discolored... At best I would say it is a bad sprain, but at worst it could be broken. If it is broken, we will have to be sure the bones are aligned correctly so that when you heal you will not have a difficult time walking on it. And even if it is only sprained, we need to...
"Well," Lumaria muses softly, continuing to enjoy the closeness he shares with his mate beside the warmth of the fire. "Safe might be a little far off for now. We have to make it to the mountains and build our pack before we can even get started with making it strong. It's going to be a fight...
Roran studied Titus's wings critically for a moment. "They are in very poor shape, but once they heal up and you develop control over them, yes. They are sturdy. They could likely take you anywhere you wanted." He wondered how long it would be before the young Shifter realized that, despite how...
"You have quite the imagination, then.. It truly is very detailed. I only hope my own form looks similar. And no, I'm afraid I have very few 'cool magic' powers myself. I can transform into a dragon at will, and my dragon form can breathe fire and communicate telepathically... and fly, though...
We are. It was a confident statement and he paid little attention to it as he angled more downward and picked up more speed. He would not have allowed just anyone to ride him, let alone to see his true form. He'd taken an instant liking to her. Perhaps it was that she had known things he did...
Lumaria hums affectionately. "I will let you know if I cannot keep up. But I won't grow to be a capable partner if I do not push my limits a bit. Getting hurt might just be part of it. You won't be able to coddle me on this trip. And besides, I have my heart set on becoming strong enough to help...
"Oh, a little water wouldn't kill you..." he responds to that pitiful laugh with a heavy sigh. What does the Shifter have against baths? Even dragons find them enjoyable...
When the younger male hands him an ice sculpture of a dragon, though, Roran is mesmerized. "That is quite impressive... It...
Lumaria's thoughts settle down a bit more at Karminos' responses. The alpha truly does seem content. Lumaria's fear of being rejected by hi mate stems from the way he and the other omegas were always treated by the other alphas in their pack before they left it. One in particular had sought him...
There are advantages to having a dragon for a friend, he responded lightly. But next time we come I think you will dress more warmly and we can stay longer. For now, it is time to return to the ground. I've kept my promise, so now you get to teach me about aloe.
He was already drifting lower...
He laughed. Hearing the glee and wonder in her voice... was he supposed to feel happy because she was? Was that how emotions worked? Sharing the sky with her was infinitely more fun than it had ever been flying alone. Tristan found that he would have to watch himself closely, or he might become...
Lumaria nods thoughtfully at Karminos' solution. He has faith that the alpha can deliver on the promise of goat tomorrow, so he decides to eat as his mate suggests. It's still more food than is typically left for him at the end of any day. But that only means he actually has a chance to feel...
Tristan turned his head to look at her. Careful now, Aria, or I might begin thinking you like my company~ Now hold tight, the hard part is getting off the ground.
He gave her a moment to ready herself, and took the time to consider the best way to take off with a girl on his back. Admittedly...
Tristan was adequately distracted by the mention of a new plant that might have the power to soothe his itchy scales. That would make his time in human form much more endurable. Remind me to have you show me that 'aloe' plant as soon as we land.
He snorted, slight puffs of smoke curling into...
He was growing used to her mood swings, he decided. In fact they no longer surprised him. Aria seemed to bounce between confidence and a lack thereof quite often. He had never met anyone like her.. but that was not saying much at all, since he had never taken the time to get to know anyone else...
Omegas tended to be very touch-oriented creatures. They banded together in a pack when they worked and thought nothing of leaning against one another for comfort. The unmated and young ones tended to sleep cuddled together for the comfort of being near other wolves. They craved that closeness...
Flying comes natural to Dracolings, so I am not sure I can describe it the way you would experience it... He paused, eyes closing briefly as he tried to see flight through a human's perspective, rather than one of complete normalcy. It is like... being truly free. No limitations holding you to...
Lumaria quite happily allows Karminos to take over the task of creating a fire. The labor of hauling dry timber to the camp might usually be nothing to him, but today he can barely summon the energy to keep himself from toppling over every time he makes a sudden turn. So sitting down and...
Roran rolls his eyes. "I bathe far more often than Shifters, it seems~ And worry not, I'm sure I can find a lake within flying distance to drop you in~" He's joking, of course. Titus needs rest far more than he needs a bath at this point in time. But given a few days, he might be healed enough...
He was truly amazed that Aria was able to approach him... A new kind of respect was forming for the human. He'd seen a good many hunters far more skilled and capable of fending off an enemy turn and run screaming through the woods at their first glimpse of him in dragon form. And yet Aria was so...
This Dracoling was in complete denial... Blake shook his head in wonder that anyone could fool themselves so completely. There was an excuse for every bit of evidence. Well, save for one, and he was unsure of whether transforming when Ren did not even foster the slightest possibility that...
