Avaline, Sorcha & Maoin [hr] [b]"Wah...!"[/b] Avaline made a small noise as she was poked in the head. She [i]knew[/i] she shouldn't have said it, but she did anyways. Like she always did. The wyrm pouted a bit, but otherwise said nothing in reply other than give Luna a mildly hurt look. Sorcha, on the other hand, took the order slightly worse. The dragon frowned, growling mildly in annoyance. [color=aba000]"I do so apologize."[/color] Sorcha replied in a rather patronizing voice. [color=aba000]"For treating her as is the way of dragons such as ourselves."[/color] Sorcha knew that Luna would't approve of her behavior towards Avaline. She simply didn't understand that was the way things were, and were always going to be. Changing the nature of any dragon was like changing the heavens themselves. Nigh impossible. True-blooded dragons like here were arrogant and proud by nature. Wyrms like Avaline were simple minded and brutish. Wyverns were disinterested in anything other than themselves, viewing everything other than they as inferior. [color=aba000]"Little one,"[/color] Sorcha said, giving Maoin a sigh. [color=aba000]"In times such as this, I agree with Luna. Do not simply repeat what I say because it's what I think. Use that pretty feline head of yours and think for yourself like I've been telling you."[/color] Ugh, now she was in a bad mood. Still, she couldn't blame Luna, but she wanted to sleep now. "But that aside...what of the sleeping arrangements? Luna's bed can't very well hold two dragons, a cat, and two humans. That on-ahem-Avaline, would likely break the bed because she weighs so much." The last part was said with an obviously antagonistic voice. [b]"W-hey! Last time I checked I only weighed as much as a boulder in the forest! And ever since I started looking like this, I probably only weigh as much as...whatever half a ton is."[/b] She placed her claws on her hips, looking quite proud of herself before fidgeting slightly. [b]"E-ehm, S-she's sort of right though."[/b] She grabbed her tail, hugging it close to her body. Even if Luna had a handle on Sorcha, she objectively, was still terrified of her. It was just natural instinct. [b]"No need to crowd the bed. I wouldn't be comfortable anyways."[/b] She coiled herself up in the middle of the room, much like a snake would. Normally she'd find something strong and sturdy to wrap herself around, like that tree back at the castle but she didn't have anything to do that with here. Sorcha merely harrumphed, but said nothing else. Unless Luna did something, Avaline seemed content with curling up in the floor, some distance away from the bed. Chione [hr] [b]"I see..."[/b] Chione replied with a small frown. [b]"Young and headstrong is good...but recklessness and vast pride is not. Still, I would be remiss not to worry at least a little. Death comes for all one day and it's always painful to see them judged as unworthy."[/b] What she meant by that she didn't entirely elaborate on. Instead, she proceeded to ask Kozue about her religion specifically. She was always interested in the beliefs of others. It was always a good thing to keep ones mind open to new experiences and ideas, even ones you may have previously found distasteful or disagreeable. In the end, she ended up asking Kozue if she had a place to stay for the evening. [hr] [h3][center]~Start of a new day~[/center][/h3] It was early. Far to early. Sorcha grumbled in her sleep, trying to ignore what felt like the beating of a thousand drums in her ears. This was before even [i]maoin[/i] would normally wake up, wasn't it? What was that lizard doing? She was the only one who could have [i]possibly[/i] been up at this hour. She probably found the pots and pans and had decided to use them as instruments like the uncivilized thing she was. Urgh, Luna should do something about that. A few moments passed, but Luna seemed content not to do- [b]"WAH!"[/b] That was Avaline. [b]"The gates are open! The drums have been sounded! The beacons are lit! Grondor calls for aid! The evil boars are upon us - But never fear civilians I shall eat-huh?"[/b] What on earth was she blabbering about? [b]"...Master Luna you're not the delicious evil boarmen."[/b] Avaline giggled. [color=aba000]"L-luuna?"[/color] That was [i]luna[/i] making that racket?! Sorcha shot up in her bed, likely dislodging a cat from her in some fashion. [color=aba000]"What on earth is the matter?"[/color] She yawned before flapping back down on the bed, barely even opening her eyes.
