Odd Encounters

[InsaneTruth]

"I am a mage... naturaly I enjoy an outlet for my magic," Zek said simply. "Though flying is a wonderful passtime too,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea laughed a bit, "I thought Roen was the first time you flew like that." She asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"it was, doesn't mean I did not enjoy it," Zek told her his wings were to weak to fly him long after all.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled, "We can fly again if you want... Shania doesn't like to fly." Rhea told him, though she turned to Shania and smiled at her too, "But she runs as fast as a dragon flies... that is really cool in itself."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania smiled she was wondering if she should open up to Rhea explain her dislike of being off the ground since it had a deep meaning. A meaning that had little to do with flying itself.

 

[Ricia]

When Zek and Shania discontinued the conversation, Rhea pulled out the book that Shania got for her to begin to read while they traveled.

 

[InsaneTruth]

There was a silence over the group but it was far from uncomfortable. Zek broke it suggesting camp since the babies would soon be hungry.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea agreed when Zek suggested it and stopped to camp and get ready to feed babies. "The next town is the last one till the dragon nest." Rhea said, leanning over the nest map while she feed Soki.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Exited?" Shania asked her with a soft smile.


Zek pet Skysong sitting down he was surely exited in fact the sheer thought of a new dragon or egg made him giddy inside.

 

[Ricia]

"Yes!" Rhea said happily, "We.. we could find another dragon... or another egg. Really anything."


"Or nothing at all... we didn't really stick around Goarth much these days... I could bet some dragons would be there as well." Roen told her.


Rhea sighed, "I wish... I wish I could have something to help me find dragons."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"well with your luck," Shania said "it will be the next thing that falls into your lap,"


"I second that one," Zek said agreeing with shania


Aria let out a laugh "little dragon you do have the weirdest odd luck I have ever seen,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled, "Maybe... but It usually happens after a heavy wash of bad luck..." Rhea told them.


"That is true... but I would call the large scale invasion of the castle because of us heavy bad luck." Roen seemed like he was assuring her. "So we should be safe for a bit."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania laughed "show me some bad luck we cant get through and I'll strap on a dress and cook up some lunch in our house I just cleaned," she told Rhea. "I am not at all worried," she assured the girl. "Hey... want to go take a walk with me after all is fed?"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea nodded, "Sure, we can walk." Rhea told Shania happily, she checked Soki's skin to see if he was almost done.

 

[InsaneTruth]

the dragon as gluttonous as his first day hatched would be done soon. Zek was Lucky skysong was much less of a piggy.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea packed up the bit of material before bringing Soki over to Aria, "Could you please watch him?" Rhea asked Aria.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Of course little dragon," Aria said and pulled the hatchling to her side to keep him against her warm belly.


Shanai stood and smiled offering her hand to Rhea.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled happily before petting the top of Aria's head. "Thank you. We'll be back in a bit." Rhea said before taking Shania's hand with a light blush.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania smiled reassuringly at Rhea. She lead the girl a bit away. "You know... I know you don't know a lot about me... but I don't think its fair you know?" Shania was a bit nervous a feeling she was not the best acquainted with. "You know I have other forms... and... all that jazz. I also have functioning wings... I can call them at any time." she said running a hand through her hair. "but... I don't."

 

[Ricia]

Rhea looked shocked, "Really?" Rhea asked her. "Wow... that is so cool!" Though she stopped before she got overly excited and brushed her hands over her shirt, "You don't really like them though... are you ok?" Rhea asked, moving from her own personal feelings to Shanias, mostly because she noticed how uncomfortable she really felt.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I mean... it's not like I dislike having them. However... carrying my swords my armor and all is very taxing and, wings are fragile even mone... being shot from the sky is ... no fun you know?" Shania said Rhea was so exited. "Wanna see them?"

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah.. falling from the sky isn't fun much." Rhea said, agreeing with Shania. Roen had been shot out of the sky a few times. Falling can be terrifying. Rhea then smiled, "Yes! I do want to see them!" She told Shania, feeling her excitement leek again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania took off her sword and her leather breast armor so that only the cotton tunic was on her chest. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. There was slight discomfort before black featherd wings burst from her back the feathers black as night and going from small downy like at the top to long and elegant the tips almost touched the ground when they folded to rest against her back.

 

[Ricia]

"Wow..." Rhea said softly, "can I touch them?" She seemed almost itching to reach out to touch the soft wings.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yeah, just don't pluck a feather," Shania said a bit quietly pulling feathers hurt like hell.
