Smoke began trailing from the woman's nostrils in earnest now.

"In the past I would have laid waste to this city of mortal insects to recover what was mine," she said. The words were simple and matter of fact but as she spoke them the light level in the room seemed to dim and shadows flickered and danced as though cast by burning torches. The shadow behind the woman was not of a slim human in business dress but something vast and winged and terrible. A second shadow joins the first, another winged form although this one is avian. The seem to battle in a conflict of flashing shadow talons for a few seconds. January remembers the story of the ancient conflicts of Old King Crow and the Wyrm.

"But I may not, not until the item is recovered at any rate," she continued once again a woman, with a woman's shadow. There is a slight concern injected into the word 'item' as though the dragon is concerned it might come to harm.

"You will want to track down and ... chastise the thieves for your own reasons, Yuki may assist you, it wont provoke any... rash actions," she continued inscrutably. At the mention of the girls name the dragon pivoted her head to observe the girls antics.

"Yuki, stop befouling Lady Venus with your mortal feromancy," she scolded. Yuki looked surprised to have been spoken to.

"But I like the statue better armed," she quiped, clearly proud of the pun at the armless statues expense. The dragon said something in an tongue the January didn't understand. Yuki's eyes widened and she snatched the gun away without further complaint.

"I will respect it in the future mistress," she said with downcast eyes.
