[center][h3]Raven and Orphine[/h3] [@DragonKingUk][/center] Disturbance. Raven looked away from his dragon and towards the girl. She had silver hair and doesn't look dangerous. However, he continued to study her, letting the silence hang after her question. She looked able bodied and he could feel the metal of her sword. She was definitely not someone who was defenseless. No one came here without proper defense. Bandits littered these mountains. The traders knew safer routes to take. This girl didn't look like a trader. She didn't have a caravan or even a bag to carry goods in. She was a traveler. One of the empire perhaps? Have they sent this scout to search for him in this abandoned mining town? She continued to approach, this time shards started to surround her. A powered individual. He could feel Orphine tense up, her instincts screaming to fight. Sending a telepathic message to calm down to his dragon, he finally spoke up. [color=silver]"No."[/color] The answer was short, simple and straightforward. He was not being careful of giving the pretense that he created this organic metal dragon that might lead to her finding out he was one of the Chosen Ones. He said it because it was the truth. He may have made her unconsciously but he was never too sure where Orphine had come from. She just appeared one day and he just rode with it. The older men in the village claimed that it was a gift from the 'God of Metal' they so worship that resides within the mines. He believed in no such thing though. Orphine must have been born by another force controlling it. He then narrowed his eyes, hands curled up in a fist as response to her approaching him while preparing for a fight. [color=silver]"It is rude to ask people questions while thinking they would attack."[/color] He said with a matter-of-fact tone. [color=silver]"State your business here girl. Neither of us need to be harmed."[/color] He continued. Raven stopped as he felt someone calling out to him - pleading for help. The black haired male tilted his head to the side in confusion. That was new. However, he paid it no mind. Unless the girl would also point that out, it didn't seem like he was going to help out at all. After all, he isn't sure if it was a trap or not. He'd rather not fall into a trap set by the Elemental King because of some heroic tendency.
