[color=C6DEFF][center][h1]Lila Moriarty[/h1][/center][/color] [center][h2],[/h2][/center] [color=Silver][center][h1]Virais[/h1][/center][/color] [center][h2]&[/h2][/center] [center][color=#ACE5EE][h1]Mirror[/h1][/color][/center] [hr] [sup][@Rai] [@Deos Morran][/sup] [hr] Lila could hear Mirror fighting, but she couldn't do anything to help him. Their fighting styles were far too different, and against such opponent, without knowing its weakness and vulnerabilities, Lila couldn't do anything. She was not made to trap or maim, she was made to hunt and kill. But Mirror knew that, after all... she was only a tool. And he knew how to wield such tool perfectly. He always sent her on missions that were perfect for her. Hunt, eliminate, assassinate, kill... Fast, precise and deadly. [color=#ACE5EE]”Who is your new friend?”[/color] Mirror asked, dragging himself on her direction. She knew he was wounded by the way he moved, by the frequence of his breathing... [color=C6DEFF]"I... I don't know..."[/color] she said, taking the small dragon on her arms, without realizing. [color=C6DEFF]"He just came near me and... helped me."[/color] she said. Although she didn't say anything about it, it was obvious by the way she was holding  it and looking at it that she had bonded with it.  If Lila was a normal girl, maybe she would probably ask if she could keep it, but instead of doing that, she kept her feelings to herself. After all... Hiding her own feelings was something she did since she was a small girl. Something that was deeply etched into her personality. Virais let out a muffled, [color=silver]"Mrrrra."[/color] sound as she hugged his long neck and held him close to her chest. He was wiggling feircely like he wanted to break free, but at the same time at any point she tried to loosen her grip he'd force his head and neck back into her chest like he couldn't make up his mind between wanting to readjust his position and still be held in her warm hug. Such a fickle beasty... Though as she spoke he didn't relaly break free of his actions, instead just worming around in her arms as he too appeared to have bonded with her, but in a much more outwardly show of it. Like a dog with his favorite master, unwanting to be seperate from her. Though before long he required freedom in order to better aquiant himself with his new best friend. WIggling free of her hug and sniffing the air around her, she smelled weird, like all descendants were weird, but she smelled extra weird like she was different from the others. In a certain sense... he liked it. But his curiousity wanted him to know more and before long he was pressing his nose against her ankle sniffing her lower leg to get a direct scent. Before long he unknowingly and rather abruptly raised his head sniffing up farther up her leg... and under her skirt in a place many people shouldn't go. In was in that very moment that something could be heard from between her legs, [color=silver]"You a girl!"[/color] As he exercised some of the little common tongue he did know. It was a little hard to tell sometimes with descendants, but now he at least knew that she was in fact a she! Only when the small dragon started protesting, that Lila realized that she was hugging it, and a bit too strongly.  She started hugging it unconsciously. Why would she do such thing? There wasn't any reason to do so... She just... did it. She was scared by that. It was a... warm and satisfying sensation. Something new to her. She had always lived alone, and for the first time, she had someone that cared about her. It wasn't a bad sensation, it was only different. She had never felt something like that, thats why she was a bit scared deep down inside. She smiled to it when it stopped protesting, instead worming around her, almost like it was also hugging her. It was the first time she felt really loved. It was the first time that she felt that someone really cared and liked her. As he broke free from her hug, she watched it as it sniffed the air around her, curious. It was probably trying to know her better, after all, the only thing he was able to smell until now was probably blood. As it started to press its nose against her ankles, smelling her, she let out a sound that probably was the first time that Mirror had ever heard, something that she had never done before. She giggled.  The sound was surprisingly sweet and beautiful. It was almost impossible to say that it came from the same girl, the same beast, that was killing cultists with such ferocity a few moments before. But as the dragon kept sniffing her, he raised his head, his nose pressing against her inner thigh going further and further, with his head under her skirt. Just after hearing his voice, Lila immediately went red, blushing heavily, with a gasp. Giving a small step back and falling on the ground with her legs forming a 'W', pressing her hands against her skirt. Her face was almost burning with embarrassment as she stood there, without saying anything. Virais still had his head up her skirt when she let out her gasp and fell back. Not entirely sure of why she had such a violent reaction and more than anything grew concerned for her health as that was not ok! Plus she fell! So to better make sure she was ok he wiggled his head around to her chest and again started to give her a neck hug, letting out repeated, [color=silver]"Mrra! Mrrwa! Murraw!"[/color] noises to help make sure she was ok and not hurt in any crazy new way. Truly though though through it all he hadn't even taken notice of Mirror as his attention was entirely focused on Lila. A feral? It seemed so as it wiggled about in Lila's arms like a simple beast. It would maybe grow to be a steed? Mirror thought this was a good opportunity for Lila. Through out his time raising her he realized the long term ideal of his for all of his orphans was to grow up as close to happy as possible. Up until now he didn't know if Lila knew what happy even was. Upon witnessing the little dragon sniff around Lila's apparals interior he found himself smiling a bit. But his smile faded as his eyes widened at Lilas reaction. A smile put on her face by more besides a proper feeding of angelic blood. The snow flakes fluttered in the wind behind him and over the three in a dazzling array of fading light particles. He laughed out loud. It was indeed a strange thing to see and despite Lila's confusion he found her reaction to be the closest to normal she has ever been. He approached the dragon now and picked it up from behind. As it wiggled in his palms he shushed it with a smooth sound. [Color=#ACE5EE]"I heard you speak. So you're more than a feral. At least the start of something... must be pretty young."[/color] He looked to Lila and back to the dragon. He sighed but looked happy despite how long the sigh was. [Color=#ACE5EE]"I guess I have no choice but to teach this... boy. How to be a proper... dragon."[/color] He spoke while inspecting Virias.  [color=C6DEFF]"A... Feral?"[/color] Lila asked, still looking down, embarrassed. That would explain a lot of things. He was able to understand her, and even talk a little but not much. He was probably very young. If Mirror raised him... He would probably raise him to be a weapon or something like that, and that was not something that Lila wanted. [color=C6DEFF]"No... P-please..."[/color] she said, getting up, slowly trying to recover her composure. After a few seconds, she talked again. [color=C6DEFF]"Let me raise him. Its my responsibility."[/color] she said, grabbing her scythe from the ground and looking to the small dragon. [color=C6DEFF]"Do you... have a name?"[/color] she asked, looking at it. Virias was far to busy giving Lila a neck hug to notice MIrror stalk up behind him much less grab his midriff and lift him away from his new best friend. Whining and comlaining the whole way as he was pulled back, trying to kick and wiggle his way out of his grip to return to Lila. Though after long enough he heard Mirror's words and craned his long neck around to see the source of the sounds. Looking into Mirror's eyes he blinked a few times before letting out another series of [color=silver]"Mrra! Mrrwa! Murrah! Chirrup! Chirrup! Mwararwa.... Mwa!"[/color] At least that was for Mirror's first response at the second his wiggling slowed down and he seemed to be sitting more still, but that was quickly followed by a series of light growls and hisses as he spoke up once again, [color=silver]"I am real dragon!"[/color] His young and childlike voice coming out again and it seemed that this time Mirror had struck a nerve in the little guy. In that same moment he curled around his neck to give Mirror's forearm a firm chomp! Though it wasn't meant to drag blood, merely to give him a chance to escape and get back at him for that 'proper dragon' remark. With his little tantrum out of the way though and free from the oppresive grip of the meanie head... he went back over to Lila curling around her sitting form and coiling his neck around her to continue his hug. It was then he heard her question, [color=silver]"I am Vi-Rias!"[/color] He answered, breaking up his name not because that's out it was pronounced but because his bad common made the phrase fall on syllables. [Color=#ACE5EE]"Hmph.." [/color]Was Mirrors response to the aggressive bite the small dragon attempted on his arm. A firm little bite it was, perhaps too quick for the dragon to notice Mirrors flesh was not the same as a living creature. It left a cold in the mouth of the dragon, similar to biting into ice. Mirrors eyes didn't show a hint of change in his positive mood. [Color=#ACE5EE]"You raising it...? I suppose. But I'll keep an eye on you both. Make sure everything is alright."[/color]  Mirror tilited his head to the dragons words speaking his name was quite a curious feat for a feral. [Color=#ACE5EE]"A feral with a name?"[/color] Mirror smirked as a small chuckle left his vocals. [Color=#ACE5EE]"I guess that will make naming him easier."[/color] He lifted a finger to his chin in faux thought and winked at Virias. He then approached Lila and rested a hand on her head. [Color=#ACE5EE]"Let's head back home Lila."[/color] He patted her head and stepped past her and Virias and began slowly walking down the field. Lila's eyes widened when Virias bit Mirror. She was already a little offset by the fact that she had questioned his orders, but when the small dragon bit him, she was almost certain that he would be very irritated with that. But what happened next, surprised her. He hadn't changed his good mood, even after Virias bit him like that. Lila smiled at him when she heard his voice again. It was indeed a very young dragon. [color=C6DEFF]"Virias..."[/color] she said, gently caressing him as he coiled around her neck. She was grateful that Mirror let her raise it, but apparently he would be a handful. It was still a very young dragon, but he already had quite the energy and temper, thing that became obvious after he bit Mirror's hand, trying to escape his grasp. She had already questioned Mirror's decisions once that day, she didn't know if he was mad or not, but she was satisfied with how things went, so she wouldn't push her luck too much. [color=C6DEFF]"As you wish, Mirror."[/color] she replied to him, following him. As she continued walking, she couldn't help but let out a discreet smile, walking with Virias coiled around her. But deep down inside, she knew that she was still a tool. Virias could not affect her performance, or dull her blade, otherwise they would take him away from her, or discard Lila. [color=C6DEFF][i]"Nobody wants a dull blade..."[/i][/color] she thought to herself, with the smile slowly disappearing, giving place to a emotionless expression. Virias watched as Mirror and Lila had their interaction, content with just being pressed up against his new bestest friend. Though when they were done and moving on he felt as Lila moved away to follow the big meanie-head he quit coiling around her so feircely and instead settling for nuzzlingher leg as she walked, but that only lasted for a little while before he tripped her a few times and she accidentally kicked him in his chin. He knew she wasn't trying to be mean though and instead he just walked besides her as she walked, but there was soemthing eating in his mind, [color=silver]"You Lila right?"[/color] He asked, not entirely sure of her name besides the fact that Mirror said that one a few times, but he was a meanie-head, so he'd rather hear her name from her. Lila was so distracted with her own thoughts that she didn't realized when Virias tried to nuzzle her leg, kicking him accidentally. [color=C6DEFF]"I'm sorry..."[/color] she said, kneeling near him for a second, gently patting his head before continuing walking. [color=C6DEFF]"Yes. I'm Lila Moriarty."[/color] she said to Virias. [color=C6DEFF]"The one in front of us is Mirror... I..."[/color] she stopped talking. She wasn't actually sure what Mirror was to her. She indeed followed his orders, but just like he had already said once, she only follows them out of her own free will. She wasn't bound to him by any contract, or anything, she was free to go whenever she wanted... So he couldnt be called her master... [color=C6DEFF]"I... I follow his orders."[/color] she said, not having anything better to describe their relationship.
