Blades of the Blood Coast

"And the sea is probably wet and politician probably lie," Emmaline observed. Since the battle with the bandits she had felt oddly elated. The magical power still tingled beneath her skin filling her with a seemingly boundless energy. Deep down inside she felt a little spec of pride at having been able to save the villagers from the bandits. It wasn't the kind of thing which fit with her internal sense of being completely self centered and uninterested in others. She found that dwelling on the memory of the the incident seemed to irritate the voice that lurked in the back of her head, and that was worth it in and of itself.

"Also, I will be very surprised if we have enough to attract the attention of any serious thieves," she continued with an air of authority borne of having known more than her share of thieves back in her old life. Still her spirits were high. Varone might not be the greatest city in the world, but it was still a city, with beds and wine and, in theory, all the comforts of her lost home. Maybe she could even find a bath if she put her mind to it!

"Do you suppose we should tell someone... you know... what we have seen?" she asked, unwilling to put words to what the group had seen in the night sky. This way at least she could pretend she was talking about the bandits, a thought which didn't make her guts twist in such an unpleasant way.

Lying to yourself wont help - The voice in the back of her head whispered. Emmaline narrowed her eyes and focused on saving innocent villagers from bandits. The voice seemed to withdraw to... wherever it went and her smile brightened even further. For the first time since she had been tied up in that ritual circle she felt like she had some control.

"Rooting around in my hoard?" the dragon asked seemingly puzzled, then she began to chuckle, or something like chuckle. The commonalities between human and dragon laughter were few. It somehow seemed to call up crashing tides and shattering rocks.

"It wasn't in my hoard when it was stolen, if it had been the thieves would be in my belly," she replied, smiling and suddenly seeming to have far too many perfect pearly teeth.

"The will and my...the item, were both stolen from the vault of the Cathedral of St Anthony the Illuminated."

Somewhat better blended, I dont know if maybe the paper is too toothy for the effect I am trying to get?

@rush99999 I've edited my post to reflect that. You owe the dragon a debt.

What kind of RP mood are you in?

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.

Synopsis
