[ not much for words, this one. but she'll speak up for a moment. ]

I don't have time for this. You keep showing me all of these places but none of them look like he'll be there.

[ and she falls silent again. until— ]

I'm losing faith. Please. Help me.

You won't find him.

[goodnightscales]

You're... [wait. is this some sort of test?]

You're wrong. He's out there. He has to be.

[wont]

[ The girl considers her before asking, like she's measuring whether to speak at all. ]

Have you lost someone dear to you? [ A terrible fate. She's lost many as well, along the way. ]

[goodnightscales]

[who is this person? is she trustworthy enough to tell? she seems young. sometimes that can be dangerous though.]

Yes. A friend. He was taken from me...

[wont]

[ Yes, youth can be a danger. As can be beauty, and Alayne Stone has both. Still she schools herself to shyness, a modest sadness coloring her expression. ]

How terrible and how cruel. Who would do such a thing? [ Alayne knows the answer: monsters and men. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. ]

[goodnightscales]

[well, this one is a bit easier to distinguish...]

A dragon.

[wont]

[ Her brow pinches. ]

They say all the dragons are dead.

[goodnightscales]

It's difficult to find their lands, but they aren't dead. Far from it.

[wont]

And yet one came from these distant lands to steal a friend at your side?

[goodnightscales]

My friend— [...] —is a baby dragon.

Ooh what is this? Looks kinda interesting.

[whoooosshh]

... Who is it that you're looking for?
