Welcome to Gaia! ::

The little earthling was making motions then started to walk away. Still detecting some of the scent of death on her he moved to the side so he wouldn’t smell it. He let her walk a ways trying to be patient but realizing just how slow those little legs of hers were. Stopping and kneeling again he offered a ride. He knew she was untrained so he would just have to show her what she needed to do when she got on. He planed carefully. As soon as she was on he was going to look back at her and raise his right front leg. Putting it down he would turn in a circle to the right. He would repeat this process with the left and then make sure to look at her own fragile little legs and hope she understood all she would have to do was to put pressure on his legs and he would move in that direction. It might take a few times to show her but so far she had proven to be of a good standing set of intelligence.

Perhaps this little one was to young to learn? And yet having only dealt with adults of the species before he was at a loss. He looked at her leg over his shoulder and raised his own setting it down slowly wanting her to mimic it. The hisser was nearby and looked all the more smug nearly snorting. Growling at it Valdor wondered why it had not trained the little one as the white beast was just as capable of carrying her as Valdor was. Truly it would have been better to have her trained so as to be able to get the little on out of danger quicker was it not?

Small earthlings are clearly harder to train than Valdor would have thought. When she pressed her foot down he moved in that direction. He moved at an easy jaunt until she changed her seat. He slowed waiting for her next direction. He gave a look to the hisser and it clearly spoke of wondering how it was this little one hadn’t been trained yet. Was the hisser not a rider ready creature or was it just a scout? He hissed softly and tried to angle closer to the hisser. They might not communicate the same but he could use the other in ways to help train the earthling. First he would get her to work on the angle and moving forward before working on other commands. He kept his pace even and smooth not particularly intimidating but was still cautious of assaults from the other beast.

At the change of pressure Valdor obediently changed direction. He laxed feeling better. It was clear to him the little one was capable of learning which was a relief. Being part of a non functioning lounge would have been a burden he did not want. The hisser began to move about more freely apparently dismissing Valdor. Giving a rumble of slight annoyance he kept his pace constant and even for his little rider. Let the scout do its job his was more important. The little earthling was chittering at him which was fine.

Following her guidance the smell of earthlings began to get stronger. Valdor became more alert expecting trouble. Was this the little earthling’s lounge or was it some other group. Locating the hisser quickly Valdor let out a long low hiss calling the creature to his attention. Vigilance here was key if this was an enemy encampment. His tail was kept an angle while he walked showing he was ready to attack if needed. Still he would prefer not to while he had such a small rider on his back. Should a fight happen he would have to dump her off and user her fall spot to best protect her so he could move and fight. would she know to get as small as possible so h didn't step on her? Would the hisser protect her as well? Valdor did not have the answer to these thoughts so avoiding a fight was preferable for now.

The other earthlings in the area looked at him wearily. Valfor didn’t like it. He made a low growl when one came closer to him. It didn’t smell like the little earthling on him at all and as such would not be allowed near her. The hisser near him was tolerable though barely. He continued to follow her directions until he found himself near an earthling dwealling. It smelled more like the little rider so he slowed approaching it. Finding himself close enough for his comfort he stopped and promptly lowered his front legs so the small one could get off and not be damaged by the dismount. Earthlings were frail things after all. The lack of hard scales was ever a pain and tedious thing.

He was hesitant to let her roam into the earthling dwelling alone but the place smelled of her so much it should be safe. Shifting in mild agitation it was a while before she came out with meat in hand. It wasn’t much but given how small her frame was it wasn’t surprising. Sniffing it he gingerly took it from her before tossing his had back and gulping it down. It must be a thank you and gratitude for taking her safely back to this place. Valdor looked at the hisser seeing how comfortable it was here. Seeing how at ease it was Valdor was satisfied. This was the little earthling’s home. That meant it was back with it’s lounge. The next action she took was a strange one. Enduring it Valdor huffed in her face and then placed his head over hers and used his jaw to rub the back of her head. Her actions of exposing her throat in trust had not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. After having returned the favor Valdor stood and began to leave. Looking back once he decided he would come back and check on the little one latter, for now being too close to a strange earthling group was more unsettling than he could take.
