 "Predictable ?" The Dragon King asked, but then looked over the names and realized that yes, that was actually right, and he could not help but laugh as well.
He had to admit the familiarity of the plants would put him at ease, through.
"Oh ?" He asked, following her gaze with his own. "Ha, well... As much as I would like to take credit... This is mostly Glyph's fault. He steps in here and the plants go nuts."
In a good way, obviously.

"That is certainly a useful talent."
It had not occurred to her until then but- "I still have yet to actually meet Cenarius." She was honestly surprised that he was not here with Xun now. Wasn't being there for comfort one of the things a lover should do? Unless of course Lifewater had not mentioned was was wrong...that would not surprise her if it was the case. That would be the very Illisia thing to do after all.

"He had been neck deep in the forests likely. He enjoyed the desert even less than I did." Which was saying something there.
"My... current situation was a double-edged sword. I was more vulnerable to the terrain, but at the same time I was much less affected than he was." He was uncertain how to explain it. His lover was strong indeed, but not strong enough to utterly defy a death environment so easily. "He has told me he would like to meet you, through. It is simply a matter of pinning him long enough..."

"That certainly could not have been too pleasant for anyone involved." Whisteria made a face. She had not been fond of deserts either, too dull and barren for her taste. Even if had not been ideal at least things at worked out in Xun's favor and hopefully Cenarius would feel better after spending some time in the forest.
"You are welcome to bring him by the shop, if you can manage to pin him down long enough." The apartment would be out of the question, only because the ceilings were far too low.

"No, not really..." Well. Ankou had spent most of the trip not caring much, if one only took the actual location in consideration.
He would be the first to admit he had been a little jealous, really.
"I shall do my best. Through, if you keep sweet things close, who knows ? He might lure himself."

"Fond of candy, really? I will have to keep that in mind." She giggled. That would not have been something she would have guessed on her own. After all the druidess had missed Glyph's little adventure at the desert table at the party a few months back. By that time she had already been off with Aska.
The thought of the man sent a hand to her belly, rubbing it softly. At least she had not ended up ill yet, only grumpy or crying at somewhat inconvenient moments.

"Very much so." Was it very fear, laying out his lover's weaknesses like that ? Well, it was not like he was doing any effort to keep it hidden.
"Sweet things, really. Sometimes I do wonder how did I not end up being a blimp by sheer association." He let out a chuckle, grinning to himself.
Whisteria's movement, however, reminded him of something, quite suddenly. "Did you manage to tell Aska ? And well, it would probably be a good idea to tell him that I am not out for his blood or anything silly. He seemed a little... intimidated of me when we met."
He really could not understand why. He saw himself as pretty far from intimidating, unless he had a real reason to be.

"I did. I also told him how I felt." If her smile was anything to go by it had gone quite well, on both counts, given the circumstances. It had been a turbulent few minutes with so many emotions flying about that it had seemed like hours. She had cried like a small child, unable to help herself. But, yes, it had gone well. It would not be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it would be enough.
"Intimidated? Possibly something to do with you being a dragon, perhaps. I might be a little scared of you too, if I did not already know you." But she knew first hand what dragons were capable of- there were scars down her back to prove it. "He is a very gentle, humble and passionate man. It is hard to imagine him being truly intimated by anyone." Still she would mention it to him, if only to make him laugh.

"Good..." That at least this had gone well was a blessing. There would be many hardships ahead... Too many.
Was it wrong to hope that Aska would at least see the birth of his child ? The god part of him was always eager to see another of his kind reborn... Especially someone like Healing. But the part of him that was Illisia found it heartbreaking, and it tempted his joy slightly.
"And I do not even own claws or very pointy teeth yet." Well, being intimidating certainly had it's use, but it was an image Ti Lung found himself constantly wanting to project, through his smile turned impish. "...Like this, at least."
At least he seemed to have cheered up for the time being.

"Like this....?" There was another way for him to be? A long light blue eyebrow quirked as if to say 'elaborate please?'

The question only seemed to make the Dragon's amusement more pronounced, as he set the seeds aside and stood from his seat on the swing. Xun Jiang really could not help it - he rather enjoyed showing off.
It probably wouldn't make so much sense as he started taking his clothes off - at least there was nothing here that Whisteria was not familiar with - but it would probably make more sense as his form started to waver and shift, pale purple skin covering in scales until an horse-sized dragon sat on his hindquarters in front of Whisteria, one paw rising to scratch through his mane idly.

Oh. Well. That certainly made 'Dragon King' make more sense! She had thought it was more a figurative title than a literal one, which was silly really. The druidess seemed rather surprised and quite impressed. He did not look a thing like a dragon from Azeroth but it was still something to see. "So this is what you really are, then?"
She got up from the swing and took a slow walk around to get a better look at him.

There was a low chuckle that came out of the dragon, as he teasingly leaned forward to sniff at her fingers like a cat might have.
"Well, that did you think I was called a Dragon King for ?" Oh, he was indeed quite amused. "Yes and no. I am both, through one might argue that this form is more natural and well... Truer to what I actually am."
There were features that he had in dragon form that the humanoid form did not have, for once.
"The lack of opposable thumbs makes it a little inconvinent for day to day tasks, however." He tilted his head to the side. "And, if Tian Yue is of any indication.... Size, later on."

"Not sure really, just not that it was so literal." The night elf's cheeks darkened just a tiny bit. Silly Whisteria. Her hand brushed against his muzzle for a moment after he reached out to sniff it. Why he was like an overgrown saber almost! The thought amused her. "Yes, hands are ever so convenient." It was something she could relate to, particularly after spending so long as a feral.

"Only the Dragon Kings have true dragon shapes like this." He elaborated, resisting the urge to playfully snap at her fingers as they came close. That probably would have been a little too much.
"Which is not to say other gods can't shapeshift into dragons, but the differences are easily seen. To me, at least." The thought of a certain playful little wyrmling made him grin to himself. Perhaps they should meet, once there was less on the Trickster's mind.
