Mars surveyed Matthew for a moment, tilting her head.  [color=6ecff6]"Oh."[/color] she stated  [color=6ecff6]"I heard of those people before.  OH.  YOU HAVE A BOOK ABOUT US? WHERE?"[/color]  She flailed violently at his books, scooping half of them out of his arms and glancing at each book before dumping them on the ground with a bored expression, finally finding the one she was looking for and clutching it to her chest.  [color=6ecff6]"Oh HELL YEAH!"[/color]  She flipped open the cover of the book, glaring at first couple of pages until she got bored of reading and dropped that book as well.  [color=6ecff6]"Baaah.  I'll read it later."[/color] she stated, watching as the Dancer guy picked up each book and followed after Matthew.  What a weird guy.  Why would he pick up the mess Mars had made.  Whatever, he could do what he liked.  She did like watching him move though, he was remarkably graceful.

[color=6ecff6]"YAR!"[/color] Mars shouted at Jerod, giving him a sly wink and a mischievous grin.  [color=6ecff6]"You know if you heat an axe up enough it will melt."[/color] she teased. 


Mars turned to the girl who was still claiming to be a Manakete.  [color=6ecff6]"And i am just supposed to believe that one of my kind would breed with a human?"[/color]  She asked, one eyebrow raised [color=6ecff6]"Anyways, a Manakete who can't transform cannot be considered a true Manakete.  It's a part of our culture.. but you wouldn't know that living with humans!  The fact you can't transform was probably another reason why i can't smell the Dragon on you because you ARENT one.  Saying things so stupid, just make you look like a fool.  Manakete is a label reserved for those who can transform, given as a sign of RESPECT."[/color] her teeth flashed wildly.  [color=6ecff6]"You know, maybe i would have been a bit more accepting of you if you had just said something nicely instead of calling me a brat.. but now i am just starting to doubt your claim even more."[/color] she narrowed her eyes into slits, smoke curling from her mouth.  [color=6ecff6]"I am old enough to be your mother.  Do NOT presume I am a child because I like to have fun!"[/color]  a crackle of energy popped between her and the female before she decided she didn't care anymore.
 
Mars listened as he complained and told them what they had to do.  [color=6ecff6]"Oh.  I CLAIM THE PLACE I WAS SLEEPING BEFORE!"[/color] She roared.  She sprinted inside and claimed the bed she'd been sleeping on earlier, marking it with a few talon scratches near the foot of the bed.  her bed was right across from a window covered in soot.  If all else failed and she needed a quick getaway.. the window would offer the perfect way to escape.  After she was done staring at the window for a moment, she skipped down to the Armory.  Of course.. Manaketes never actually used weapons themselves, the only thing they had was their Dragonstones.  Without it, she would be trapped in whichever form she managed to change into.  She'd lost it once before and spent a couple of hours as a dragon desperately searching for it, only to find the chain had broken and she'd replaced it with something sturdier. Of course, her Dragonstone was not something she showed humans lightly.  She kept it hidden beneath her armor, protected and safe from prying eyes. She ran a white gloved hand over a windowsill, curling her lip at the dust that came up.  She watched as Jerod picked up a weapon stand and did the same herself with one on the other side of the room, stirring up dust.  Her nose tickled and she scrunched it up before sneezing a burst of white hot breath right into the weapon stand, effectively lighting it on fire.  She scrunched her nose up again and sneezed two more times, only making the fire worse.  She rubbed her nose, shaking her head as she watched the weapon rack burn.  [color=6ecff6]"Whoops."[/color] she stated, shrugging.  Her Dragonstone glowed beneath her armor, glittering a faint blue as her tail came out and slammed into the fire to put it out.  She was a bit too rough with the wooden structure and it broke into several pieces.  She watched what was left of the structure burning, deciding it wasn't worth saving and just watched it burn.

She heard something about leaving for somewhere.  Well... she would follow these humans for now..at least they were fun to mess with a bit.  And if she didn't like it.. she could just leave any time.  It wasn't like they could do much to stop her from leaving.

Andross bowed low and deep to Matthew.  [color=00a651]"My apologies.  I was not aware they were not the same title."[/color] If he had still been a slave, this transgression would have probably earned him a couple of lashes.  [color=00a651]"Do you need aid with those books?"[/color] a charismatic and apologetic smile danced across his face. Except before he could say anything the strange animal-like woman sprinted over to him and started throwing books off the pile.  He flinched as each book hit the ground, picking up after her.  Well.. maybe she was a Manakete then.. gathering from her interest in Manaketes... that could be so.  He stared at her intensely, having never seen a Manakete before.

He followed quickly after Matthew, leaning the books he was carrying for the guy onto the desk.  He flinched at the sudden and unexpected use of magic.  [color=00a651]"I can be ready whenever you need me.  If you indeed need me."[/color] he bowed respectfully to the tactician.  [color=00a651]"It will be an honor serving you, my Lord."[/color] he smiled.
