JUMP IN: Dragons and Humans RP

((Lol hi! How are you?))

Draco heard a growl from nearby and looked over, sitting up some. He laid a gentle hand on the dragon beside him to calm the beast, who was waking up as it heard the growls, and Draco's eyes soon landed on the other dragon, instantly associating it with a dog-like dragon, and smiled a bit when he saw another human sit up on the dragon's back and then dismount it. He raised a hand and gave a gentle wave, apparently not fazed at all by the sudden appearance of the two. "Hello!" He called out, setting down his project.

Asla blinked open her eyes, waking fully, when she felt Draco's hand on her. She looked over in the direction he was looking and the tiny frills on her back stood up as she sat up as well. She didn't growl, but didn't look too relaxed either.

((About the same, living a day at a time ))

Draco smiled and stood up, easily hopping off the rock pile he and Asla had been lounging on. "I'm Draco, and this is Asla." He replied, soon joined by the dragon he mentioned as she slithered down off the rocks and stayed beside her human companion. She looked at the other two and smiled, tipping her head and letting out a few happy trills in greeting. "We're traveling around, what about you two?" Draco asked.

((Yup, pretty much XD ))

Draco looked at Asla, then back at the new pair, and they both shrugged in unison. "We don't know really, we just like going around and seeing what we find." Draco replied as he put a hand behind his head, grabbing his white hair awkwardly. "What about you two? Where are you two going?" He asked, watching as Asla trotted up towards the pair and circled them slowly and curiously, just wanting to get to know the pair better.

Lol yup. So anything special happening for you at all?))

The young man smiled, watching Asla circle the other two, and he looked back at Acorn. "I see. Well, I guess if anything that means that we mean no threat to each other. Do you know how to survive out here in the wild?" He asked, just wondering for curiosity's sake.

Alsa circled the pair a couple times, sniffing them occasionally. She eventually stopped then reached, extended a paw, and lightly pawed Oka's tail then scampered a way a couple lengths, trilling happily and with playfulness.

Ahh I see, well good luck!))

Asla was looking at Oka, long tail waving slowly as she chirped a few times to goad Oka into playing. "COme on!" The female dragon said to Oka in their tongue.

Draco chuckled a bit, his hands dropping down to his sides again. "Hey, no problem. It's nothing to be ashamed of." He said as he looked around. "Why don't we stay together for a while, and I can teach you." He offered with a smile. "I like helping others, especially those who like dragons." He said happily.

((No problema))

Asla grinned, still trying to get Oka to play. She then stalled when she heard the other dragon's voice, tipping her head. "Why does your voice sound so deep?" She asked, then her tail stalled and her ears pricked, apparently hearing something. All of a sudden her eyes narrowed and she let out a shrill cry, apparently alerting to something.

"Like I said, no problem." Draco said. He then stalled as his dragon companion let out a shrill cry, and he turned to look in the direction she was looking in. He suddenly also spotted something and he grunted. "ASLA!" He shouted, to which the dragon took a deep breath in and then blew out, a sharp stream of water shooting out of her mouth and in the direction the two were looking. There was a short cry of "Ack!" in the near distance.

Draco watched as the stream shot by, barely missing his head, and he waited until he heard the cry, then he raised his hand near the stream. In a flash, quicker than the eye could see, the flowing water stream turned to ice where Draco's hand was and the ice spread in the direction of the recent cry. Within a heartbeat there was another cry of "AAH!" Draco grunted and his hand fell and Asla stopped spewing water. "Alright Asla, let's see what kind of Hunter we caught." He said, starting to walk in the direction of the cries.

Lol no problem. Same here))

Draco paused, looking back at Acorn, and he smiled some. “Oh the ice? That’s a bit of a secret. As for the screams, follow me and I’ll show you.” He said, turning back in the direction he was heading and striking out that way again, grabbing a branch from the ground as he walked.

Asla followed her companion, pausing when she got beside the other two. “You two should come.” She voiced to Oka. “This could be important for you two to learn.” He said. She lumbered after Draco, then paused as she nearly stepped on something protruding from the ground. She sniffed it briefly, then picked up the object in her mouth. It appeared to be a freshly landed arrow. The female dragon then bit down and snapped the arrow in half before quickly following Draco.

Draco let the others catch up and then he kept walking. “I don’t know where you two grew up or what situations were like where you came from, but here in this part of the continent, and about 99% of the rest, hate dragons. They’re loathed by people because of the false rumors and lies they are told. There are even dragon hunting guilds, groups of people who hunt down dragons and kill them for their hide and mear and power...” he said as he kept waking, fists clenching and what looked like steak or smoke coming from his clenched fists. “You always must be vigilant, always aware. Because the one time you’re not-“ he paused as he cane upon a solid form of ice, with a figure inside it. “One of these guys will come and getbyouvright when you least expect it.” He finished, looking at the strong, well built man inside the ice block, the look of pure horror frozen on his face from being encased in ice.

As they approached the figure, Asla examined him and growled. “He’s not dead... but by the time this ice melts naturally he’ll have a severe case of frostbite...” she said, apparently having no remorse for the hunter.

“Don’t-“ Drago said, gently trying to move her hand full the block. “These people won’t learn until they’ve suffered. I’ve even seen this one before.” He said. “And yes, organized groups sanctioned by governments. It’s The governments who started all the rumors anyway, that way they can expand and become stronger without the threat of dragons getting in the way.” He said as he looked the man over. “He’ll be free by tomorrow. Hopefully his friends come see and they realize that we mean business.” He said as he turned and walked back to Asla. “Anyway, we should get moving away from this area. Then we can start survival lessons.” He said as he rubbed Asla’s neck gently.

Asla watched Draco circle the ice block then when he came back to her she purred and bumped her head on his chest gently and smiled as she was rubbed.

Lol she’s falling hard))

Draco smiled as he watched the pair and he nodded, gently letting go of Asla. “Alright then, let’s go.” He said, walking onward with Alss at his side. He walked confidently and kept a hand on the back of Asla’s neck as they walked. “Now, do you know basic hunting skills?” He asked Acorn as they got to a small clearing with sunlight filtering down from a break in the treecover.

XD XD XD That Oka though)!

He nodded slowly as he pondered the best course of action. “I see. Well traps only work if the prey is dumb enough to fall for it, so it’s good to have some skill in active hunting.” He said as he looked around the clearing slowly. “But the throwing dagger does help, since you can possibly use that in short-distance hunting.” He said. “So maybe for now we should focus on tracking.” He said, nodding in agreement with his own idea. “Alright then, let’s go look at some back
Music prey that’s good for nourishment before anything.” He said as he struck off in another direction again. He was very active, and it clearly took a lot for him to settle down once he got going.

((Good to see this back, even in a new thread ^^ I haven't been feeling well lately, but I'll bring Gwyneira and Astrea into this again soon))

((Hey no problem, Lycaonia, take your time to get better!))

Ocean had returned to the city for a few days, trying to figure out where her family heirloom was, if it was even still in the city. Now, he was charging back along the path leading to the valley, papers stuffed in his cloth bag he had and heaving deep breaths as he tried to keep running as fast as he could I hope they're still in the valley! He thought.

"So let's start with these tracks." He said, smiling as he knelt down beside some fresh tracks, waving Acorn over to him.

Asla watched as Draco found some tracks and she chirped to him softly, and Draco smiled. "Go ahead, Asla, there's a stream nearby so you should be able to find plenty of food." He said, then watched as the small dragon lumbered off.

See ya, have fun at work!))
