I nod along to his story, slowly growing more and more worried.

If this dragon was right, then they had to alert the entire continent, make sure every dragon and beastclanner was aware and protected.

The oddness of this stranger didn't deter me - I had interviewed many a strange character in my time who have turned out to be trustworthy yet we're ignored due to their strangeness. Such as Miss Dove, the ghost from earlier.

Lady Sundae looked startled for a moment, watching the skydancer's hands casually tear themselves apart around one of her own teacups (that must have been painful, but he didn't react...) before she shook her head with an exhale.

She was treating the fellow's... unusual behavior as if completely normal, annoying, even, so if it truly were of no concern, she wouldn't pry. But that didn't mean she would be at ease... the skydancer worried her, to put it plainly.

And it would not be the first time a guest had tried to play off someone's suffering as normal. The Lady gravely thought to herself as she poured the tea. She doubted that was what was happening here, but having seen all manner of customers over the many, many years she's worked at this Inn, the fear remained.

She stopped herself with a shake of the head, taking the tray and offering Rosina and the skydancer a fresh cup each. Heavens, I've gotten paranoid. Spying? On my own guests? Ridiculous! What a foolish and terrible thought!

"You may keep that cup, it's no trouble. I've got plenty of spares." She said kindly to the kid, even as he stared off into space. "Though I must ask, is there anything I can get you to make your stay more comfortable? You seem so stiff, my dear."

Undine She/Her

“He’s yours? Like a pet or something?”
Undine starts to crane her neck to look back at the necromantic Skydancer, but immediately reconsiders. She did not need to see that again.
At least everything was going well with this Nocturne. She got the feeling she was being slightly belittled, but at least they were nice about it. She’d met worse in her travels. This, at least, she could handle.
And then the Nocturne mentions her name, and worse, her title.
Warlock. Warlock of the Plaugebringer.
Undine freezes mid-handshake. She was an idiot. No wonder the air felt so charged and sickly all of a sudden: she was dealing with someone who perverted the natural order for sport.

Rosie gently scratched at her eye as Lady Sundae poured her a cup, the heat from the fireplace warming up her face quite a bit. Hemimi also seemed affected by the heat, with their eyes moving from dragon to dragon in the room and their nose crinkling in interest. They seemed much more present - and Scratch seemed to think so too, as he finally settled around their feet, feeling completely calm.

Their eyes met Rosie's, and she gently raised their hands, showing Hemimi the state of his fingers. Understanding dawned on his eyes as he moved them slowly, watching as the meat stitched itself back. "You worried me for a second there, kiddo." she said softly, affectionately bumping her head into his shoulder. "Good to have you back - and this nice lady said that you could keep the cup for your troubles."

She didn't understand Hemimi's fascination with utensils or other knick knacks, not really - but he cared for them, and that was enough to make her care for collecting those kinds of things too, especially when they came for free. Which she accounted to Hemimi's little display, combined with her own persuasiveness - a perfect example of teamwork, if you asked her. "If you need me, just send Scratch over - I'm getting away from the fireplace though." she said before grabbing her cup and walking towards the only dragon in the room that didn't seem super interested in a conversation they were having - the big imperial that just sat in a corner and watched everyone.

Now, she wasn't the most social person in their group - Sure, she often made the arrangements with the locals, but that was mostly because Hemimi didn't like talking, Holly had a non-zero chance of confessing her deepest, darkest desires to a random person, and it was better for everyone involved for Drathyn to keep his mouth shut. Still, something about the way the imperial quietly kept an eye on the commotion made her want to talk to him.

He just seemed like an interesting guy - a fellow adventurer perhaps - and she figured more connections with other adventurers couldn't hurt! There was no underlying reason other than that in her approaching him.

So, she sat on a cushion across from him, taking a sip of her tea - oooh, it was very pleasantly warm - before asking.
"So... You come here often?"

Nisha shivered as she trudged through the snow. Poor Kip was looking positively forlorn, leaving muddy little puddles in the snow as she walked. A snowy taiga was a far cry from the swamps they were from. Rocky seemed to be enjoying himself though. He was running circles around Nisha and Kip, digging in the snow, and pouncing gently falling flakes. Nisha wished she had that energy. Or his fluffy coat. She definitely had not properly packed for this little adventure. And she'd lost her map several hours ago, and Nisha had a sneaking suspicion that she'd wandered off course. Should've brought a compass. And a fur coat.

Nisha was pulled out of her thoughts by the sight of a building. Shelter! And even better, an inn! Perhaps they would allow her to stay until the weather cleared some. She had very little interest in battling the storm rolling in. Her membranes were already frosty enough as it was! Scooping Rocky up in her arms, Nisha pushed the doors open Perhaps a little more vigorously than was proper, hurrying into the blessed warmth of a roaring fire.

"Glades bless whoever owns this establishment! I'm positively freezing! I'll be letting a room for a couple days, I really don't want to go back out in the snow. Now, where do I sign in?" Nisha set her bulging bag off to a side as she picked up Kip, massaging his cold little hooves and setting the kelpie on her back to keep the damp off the floor. Ah...perhaps she should have made sure somebody was listening before rattling that off.

This Nocturne is, thankfully, trying to spare her feelings just as much as Undine herself, but her smile is sharper — familiarly false. She takes Undine’s offered topic with a certain flustered desperation, rambling about her pet corpse in the way only someone desperate for a change of scenery can. She should probably get away, for both their sakes. She had to finish this conversation first, though. The warlock seemed to be under some sort of delusion that the corpse was just as aware as they were. Probably she’d spent too many years alone as a hatchling.

Undine She/Her

Interacting: Holly (@Jellyraven), Nisha (@Ketchalin)


Everything instantly turns awkward. This Nocturne is, thankfully, trying to spare her feelings just as much as Undine herself, but her smile is sharper — familiarly false. She takes Undine’s offered topic with a certain flustered desperation, rambling about her pet corpse in the way only someone desperate for a change of scenery can.
She should probably get away, for both their sakes.
She had to finish this conversation first, though. The warlock seemed to be under some sort of delusion that the corpse was just as aware as they were. Probably she’d spent too many years alone as a hatchling. She did give off that vibe: small and desperate, like one of those posters of the floracat clinging to a tree branch.

Well. He did not come here often. No offence to the Lady of the place, but Rosina imagined that was the case for most dragons. The place was nice, sure, but she doubted that anyone would willingly subject themselves to the tundra outside just to get there.

The imperial asked a silent question about her tea - or her entire head, it was kind of hard to tell - and she made a show of taking a long sniff before drinking again. "Its good, especially for old bones in need of warmth." What was she even saying. Well, more than what he'd said so far, she figured, but she wasn't sure if his silence meant he enjoyed the company or not. Hemimi was content to just arrange his array of Things while Rosie talked their ear off for the most part, and well, the imperial was yet to huff in annoyance before leaving - so it could only be a good sign, she presumed.

Before she could dwell on it any longer, Holly walked into the room with a spring in her step, looking much more relaxed - perhaps a tad bit annoyed, but definitely not murderous - and announced that she and Drathyn were back, safe and sound. She grumbled back, content that no one seemed to be any more injured than when they left.

A spark of playful mischief was behind Holly's gaze as she looked at the imperial - Rosie hoped it wouldn't mean she'd challenge him to a fight or something - she couldn't discern the reason why Holly found him so amusing, but she figured the younger dragon would let her know, sooner or later. "Perfect timing," she said, gesturing towards the other old lady snapper in the room. "the innkeeper made some tea, you should get some while its still warm - and before Hemimi steals the rest of the cups."
