Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kai grinned, "Well, is it official now that two dragons think that?" then almost slid off of Eclipse's back when the thunderous roar surprised him.

Eclipse chuckled as Kai flailed in attempt not to fall, but his mood shifted as he caught the scent of the dragon that had roared come their way. A glow growl rumbled in his throat, then released a roar of his own, it wasn't a warning or show of power, just the result of built up irritation from the day.

Kai, who was now holding onto a spike that was on Eclipse's neck, glanced over at Grael. "You don't look surprised....well as far as I can tell anyway... you know Mr.Roar-a-lot?"

"Yes, I have promised him a good fight once I have finished some other business." Grael was almost amused by the humans attempt not to fall off of Eclipse. She didn't state any more than this as she flew. She was curious to see how the two males would interact with each other once Sa-ar caught up to them.

Sa-ar received the agitated roar with a little perplexity. He was about to begin his usual show of force, but then cautioned himself. The denizens of the island had warned him to be civil. However, he did not want to see inconsistent or any less ferocious in front of Grael. So he settled on something else. Once he was within eyesight of the two dragons, he looped and swerved, deciding instead of showing his brute strength he'd display his bright plumage and aerial finesse. Satisfied, his body trailing behind each delicate movement like a streamer, he caught up with the dragons.

He was about to inquire after Grael's progress when he sited the human on Eclipse. "It would seem that you have a human upon you. Is he the chieftan of your servants that you would deign to allow him upon your sacred bod... or an unnoticed pest?" Sa-ar's voice took on a particularily menacing, guttural sound as he said the word 'pest'. There was something almost archaic in the phrasology of this particular dragon.



Subiura took a moment to evaluate Lillia before offering a slight nod. "I'm glad someone thought so... it is evident that the young man was lying when he said his only source about dragons was his father, though. Perhaps we'll meet again..." Subira said 'although he wasn't the only one hiding something, I'm sure...'. She would have extended her hand for a shake, but her arms were otherwise occupied gathering up a left behind tray. It wasn't hers, but she might as well clear off the trash and set it with the other dirty trays - the staff would have enough trouble with the torn off roof. Subira didn't give much thought to Myia's change in demeanor as she strode out of the damaged cafe.

Subira headed over to the hotel she was booked into, dropping her bag off at her room. She checked the room over, and then locked the windows and doors. She had gotten most of the notes typed up and a solid conclusion was forming in her mind. Now would be a good time to take a better scope of the island, and moreover, meet with some of its scaly residents. She changed into a lime green bikini and a white sarong, tossing a sun hat on top of the ensemble. She might as well take advantage of the climate.

Subira did not head to the beach, however. Instead, she strode into the forested areas of the island, checking around her carefully every once in a while. Once she felt that she was absolutely alone, she came upon a pool of water deep enough to fully submerge herself in. When she re-emerged, she had transformed. Her long green and purple neck was the first to come out of the water, then her strong forelegs. Finally her hind haunches and thick tail were free of the water, cleansing herself of the human smell. She decided to search for the source of the pool, discovering a river. Pleased with finding a good source of drinkable water, she galloped along it, her deep green scales scintillating in any light that penetrated the leafy canopy. After a while she lifted up her snouth and took int he scent of another dragon coming close. Slowing down she waited by the river, her head perpetually cocked to the side.

The small wingless dragon dug her nails into the soft, muddy bank soil by the river, only to relax them again as she heard the roar. She responded with what could only be considered a bugle, as her larynx was not one to make deep roars like th larger dragons. She hooked the tip of her tail around one of her front legs as she examined the dargon across the river. After hearing her question, she nodded her head.

"Yes."

The dragon was silent a moment as she watched the redness momentarily stain the water, only to be rushed along by its natural current. She seem fixated on this for a moment before she snapped back to attention.

"Silia?" she repeated as if trying out the name. She inclined her head. "My name is Salkuriatha. I have been transient throughout my life, but I was hatched in a jungle in southern Africa." Her tail swatted from side to side as she paused thoughtfully. "I suppose I am just at a loss... the dragons here are so large compared to myself."

Eclipse wondered if that 'business' Grael spoke of was about the scientist and the Lillia woman..then he was silent as the thought about the new one's answer, "He's a useful and amusing pest.."

"Hey, since when am I a pest?" Kai tapped on Eclipses' neck scales, naturally reacting the way Eclipse expected.

Letting a light laugh rumble in his chest, "When you fall off cliffs and trip over roots..."
Eclipse turned his gaze back toward the new male dragon. "..he is my companion for the time being...do you have a problem with that?" he narrowed his eyes, tilting his wings slightly again, not wanting to lead this dragon to his home.

Kai held tighter onto Eclipse's neck just in case, the new guy didn't look much like Eclipse or even the girl dragon. He knew Eclipse had dozens of hidden tunnels around his den and just wanted to make sure he wouldn't fall if Eclipse decided to dive to one.

Grael couldn't help but to find Sa-ar's question funny, though she did her best to hide it. No one would have been able to tell unless they looked directly into her eyes. She was, however slightly annoyed that there was now a possibility that Eclipse wouldn't go back to his cave.

Regardless she held her position and watched as the two males interacted. As she listened to Eclipse and his boy interact she couldn't help but wonder how humans survived at all. They were a very clumsy species.

Grael thought for a few minutes before answering. "I am closer to achieving my goal than I thought I would be at this point. Unfortunately i am still gathering information. I must say that I am in agreement with Sa-ar on the customs of those dragons that stay on this island. I might be able to get along with humans, but I could never take one as a companion."

She wasn't entirely used to Sa-ar's customs either, but they were more familiar than those of the dragons on this island. Although she felt this way she did not feel the need to point that out.
