Sorry Saft, but them's the breaks.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

So he's going too?

...

Oh.

[This is going to be one awfully lonely Christmas in the city for this young dragon. First her best friend and now--]

I guess I'll just have to deal with it won't I? I still have my other friends right? And Randy will be there soon. So I'm not totally alone right?

Comments

[sketchingideals]

I'm sorry to hear that, Saft...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

It's no big deal, not really.

[Just the first love of her life leaving Ink City is all. Cue the hours of teenage angst and heartbreak. She's still young though - there'll be others.]

[valefore]

You're never alone as long as you have yourself! Well. That's worked for me so far anyway.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Uh, thanks...?

[Hello strange female Saft's never met before.]

I'm beginning to think maybe it's just me everyone has the issue with. I wouldn't blame them to be honest.

[valefore]

Why would they have an issue with you? You seem reasonable enough and your hair is interesting.

[She's exceedingly curious and sitting cross legged at eye level on what appears to be nothing]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...I can be a bit of a loud mouth. That's enough to scare anyone away.

Oh and uh it's just hair. Nothing special.

[valefore]

Oh but not many people have those purple parts! Well not many humans anyway. Oh god what am I thinking? Manners manners. Are you human?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well...sort of?

I'm actually only half human. The other half is dragon.

[valefore]

Oh that's incredible! I can't remember the last time I met a Dragon blood! Do you have a breath attack? Is your hair because of your lineage? Is your Draconian parent an Amethyst Dragon? Can you manifest wings yet?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Saft blinks, She's never really had someone so interested in her and what she can do before. It's sort of bemusing.]

Well I uh...

Yes. As far as I know? Not entirely sure what an Amethyst dragon is and I can do the wing thing, sure.

[valefore]

Amethyst is a pretty rare type of Dragon if memory serves (it doesn't always). Crap I can't remember what kind of breath attacks they're supposed to have...acid? Maybe? [she shakes her head quickly] Whatever. They're pretty much what they sound like. Big purple flying reptiles. They have very nice metallic scales.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I can't say I've ever met one, At least not back home.

Now mind if I ask you a few questions? Who are you and how do you know so much about dragons?

[valefore]

Oh! Again I forget all about manners! I hate them! I'm Valefore! I've met lots of Dragons. Most of them vicious and angry. Some of them friendly and cool! You have to be alive for a really long time though to really get to know a dragon. Because their lifespan is extremely long compared to most other mortal creatures.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Most dragons are vicious and angry?

Doesn't sound like anyone in Dragonsbayne I know and the nearest candidate that sounds anywhere near like that description got what was coming to him not too long ago.

[valefore]

Well I guess that makes sense. I'm pretty sure you're from another Plane. One I haven't been to yet! Which makes it so so so interesting!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Wow, So what are you exactly, if you don't mind my asking?

[valefore]

I'm a Leshay! Uhm. That isn't very descriptive I know but suffice to say we've been around a really long time!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Okay, I really haven't ever heard of a Leshay before. What are they some kind...elf? No wait you're a witch! You've gotta help me out here.

[valefore]

[there's just a little slip as the word 'elf' is mentioned. A slight twitch of the brow] No we're definitely not elves. They're pretty young still compared to me.

We can be wtiches or sorceresses if we take the class.

[rrbando_rambo]

[Cue one chipmunk just folding his arms, and looking at her smugly.]

My previous offer stands. You won't be alone if I have anythin' ta say about it.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Thanks Dale.

[But Dale, how is Saft supposed to sit into the Rescue Rangers HQ? D: She might accidentally sit on Zipper!]

[rrbando_rambo]

[Pfft, Zipper is like that cockroach from Wall-E. He just bounces right back.]

I know the headquarters followed me to the city, but I don't know if I could stay there all by mahself. We could just get together under it and have a picnic in the shade though.

[Either mental image was giving him a major case of homesickness. He tried to stay perky though, she was already feelin' down in the dumps.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

That sounds real nice Dale.

You should come to Dragonsbayne sometime, there are plenty of trees near where I live with my Uncle, I'm sure you'd love it.

[rrbando_rambo]

Sounds like lots of picnics happen there, wherever there's trees right? [He beamed.]

Are you a Dragonsbayne? I was about to say why I'm an Oakmont; it's because my family has always stayed under oak trees!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She can't help but laugh a little.] No No, Dragonsbayne is just the name of the place where I live. I'm a Goldenscale!

...I think our family name works a little differently than yours.

If only Dale were human and a little more charismatic, he would try to win her heart.

[rrbando_rambo]

Oh. [He grinned sheepishly.] I wouldn't mind hearin' what your name means, Saft.

[He was seated now. He was going to be there for her as long as she needed cheering!]

What's your home like? Dragonsbayne?

[True, the question would probably remind him of home yet, but at the same time it might help Saft to feel better with a little reminiscing and some company.]

Aww adorable...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well Dragonsbayne is...

Hmm, Well it's pretty magical but it's also super huge! There's libraries everywhere and a huge market place with all kinds of different foods you'd love it!

He'll just have to be endearing in the pet chipmunk sense.

[rrbando_rambo]

Zowie! An' where there's magic, there's usually treasure!

I wouldn't mind seein' it Saft. I wouldn't ever turn down lots of food like that. Are the libraries and the markets your favorite places?
