Zephyr sat there in silence for a little bit, closing his eyes as he decided to just enjoy the girls company.
After her quiet picking at some of the broken instruments bits, he seemed to have noticed something.
"I think.. I used to have a family." The dragon said quietly, almost a whisper, as if he was scared to continue.

"I would think that obvious, you didn't sprout out of a tree" She frowns, thinking "You're too big to do so." She nods, realizing that might be a bit rude. "Everyone has a family. Can you not remember your own?" She leans backwards "Do you have amnesia or something?"

"Well technically or do, or did. I'm a Meta from years back but there was a virus going around when I left and I caught a lighter version of it. It's... a very strange story to tell and most people tend to not believe me, but I guess it's hard to accept things when they don't happen to you." Zephyr shrugged, "I've come to accept it though, what I was dealt and how everything has happened. I guess it's a clean slate for me....even if I can't remember who my original guardian was.."

She looks at him for a moment, realizing WHOOPS HE'S IN A TOWEL and turning around "...I'll believe you." She coughs, grumbling "I mean, I can enter the internet mentally upon free will. And replace my insides with circuitry. I don't see why I shouldn't believe anything of this crazy business; I'm not exactly normal either."

Zephyr turned to look at her, a little shocked by what he heard though once he saw her, it was pretty logical as to how she could do that. Turning back to look at the pond, he shifted his feet in the water, crossing one over the other so he could look at the bottoms of them.
Still scarred, some parts still healing.
With a sigh he turned his eyes to the sky and began his story. "It's complicated. I was abducted several years back, further back than most current Meta's have existed. I'm now fearful of how many I knew or interacted with are still around seeing as I will more than likely not remember them." He paused, taking a breath and looking down a bit. "Tortured, interrogated, tortured some more. It was not unlike what Eve in 'V for Vendetta' went through during the last hour or so of the movie. I escaped..and found my way back here through some means that I have no recollection of. The Demon Elder, Avon, found me at the gate and brought me in.. "

She looks at him, frowning. There was no way she could understand how he felt. After all, she had no beating heart, nor could feel pain. So how could she imagine relating to his agony? Frederique looks down, not knowing what to say; sure, she has felt emotional pain, through her old school system...perhaps that would be enough for her to even grasp the concept of 'physical pain' "...I can not pretend to understand the pain you went through. I apologize, I never really feel anything, even when I tried inflicting it upon myself... But I can't imagine such an experience hasn't left you without emotional scars. Do you still hurt?"

The dragon seemed to tilt his head at the notion that the other could feel no pain - it must be nice but also at the same time it must also be rather horrifying. Turning to look at her again, he nodded slightly, "Emotionally I'm rather numb about what I went through when I was taken away, but it's still not something someone should go through..as for physical pain my feet are still killing me." Zephyr chuckled uneasily as he looked back down at his feet.
"I'm still not sure how I managed to make it back here."

She sighs, looking down at the pond sadly "I...I apologize for the pain you went through." That was all she could really say, not knowing what he went through. "...Anything I can do to assist you so you feel more stable mentally? Not so numb?"

Zephyr shrugged yet again, "I'm not sure. It's .. a strange thing to think about what could help me, but I do think that having some friends will probably be my best bet." He smiled at her, "Like you. You're a great friend already - allowing me to tell you about the things I've been through..".

Frederique grins, reaching back and ruffling his hair "That's good to know. Feel free to vent to me whenever you want. I do not mind in the slightest." That she didn't; she liked helping others. It was one of her favorite things to do.

The dragon smiled as his hair got ruffled, "I'll keep that in mind!" he chuckles and grins at her, happy to have made a friend who seems more interested in him as a person than as the shiny things he could possibly collect.

She grins back, pushing her guitar to the side "So, who are your other friends dear?" Yes, knowing his friends made it possible for her to introduce him to her friends! Like Cambria!

He turned back to look at the pond, idly tossing a rock into it and watching the ripples spread through the water, "So far just you and a girl named Cambria who seemed more interested in my forehead gem than anything else." Zephyr mused.

"...Oh." She fidgets uncomfortably, biting her lip "I'm sure she didn't mean it like that...Cambria is a very sweet girl." Frederique couldn't help but wonder if Cambria only liked her because he markings glowed. She couldn't help but wonder, but pushed the thought away "I'm sure she would love your personality as well! She is just a bit of a prankster is all."

The dragon shrugged before standing up and stretching, "I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I didn't end up with too many friends, I am one of the more odd looking beings around here. I'll probably scare more away than get people curious about me." he chuckled halfheartedly, a small frown on his lips as he grabbed his clothes and pulled on his undergarments while still wearing the towel, knowing it was the only 'censor' he had from the world. Once his boxers were on, he slid on his pants, having to fidget and fuss with the back of them like usual.
