Eclipse was silent still as he thought. "....very well....Achiu is resting in my den...the humes drugs effect him still. I am Eclipse..you may come to the den, but tell no other dragon is location.. He then turned and headed back toward the semi hidden entrance of his den.

Ci'nala bowed again, then followed him to his den.
"Sir, I would never betray your trust," she said truthfully. She landed and saw two humans and a green dragon. "This is Achiu? Wow; I can see why Silia is his mate." She laid down and waited for him to wake up.
Tryst'n smiled at Silia's comment.
"She is a sweet heart and I love her to death. But, I always wonder if she would do better without me." He laughed at Silia's comment to Anya and nodded, remembering the feral dragon.

Achiu had just barely begun to drift off again, and he sensed when Eclipse returned with another dragon. At the mention of Silia's name, his head shot up. "Silia? You know my mate? Is she alright?"

Sa-ar remained under cover of a bush, crouched down, and watching, sniffing, and listening to keep track of Grael. When the woman emerged from the hotel, he didn't see her quite away, but he did smell her. There was a glint in his eye as he remained posed as back up should an altercation occur... and ready to follow under the cover of foliage.
Subira paused a few feet from the hotel, glancing about her. With a shrug she shook her hair behind her shoulders and proceeded to weave her way out of the small gathering of shantis and small businesses fitted for tourism.
After walking for a while, she came to another small cluster of buildings, which had a crude radio tower amidst it. She paused for a moment, glancing around again, before heading into a nondescript, cement block that barely passed for a building.

Now that Grael was concentrating on her sense of smell she could tell that Sa-ar was still close by. As soon as she heard the human move she turned and followed in such a way that she was never at any given moment walking toward the human. She took note of the cement building that the girl had gone into and stood across the pathway from it at a small fruitstand.
She feigned interest in the fruit as she debated on how she should follow the human now. She decided on walking around the uilding casually and looking for another way in and coming back later while the human was elsewhere.

Kai ducked to the side when the two dragons came back staring in awe at the blue dragon that came in with Eclipse. He didn't say anything, not wanting to interrupt since Achiu seemed quite eager to know about his mate.
Eclipse looked at Achiu with a strange expression for a moment then looked back at Kai and Max and sat a few yards away from them, still not completly trusting the new dragon, "The blue one is called Ci'nala..." he spoke in a low voice, just to let the two humans know the new dragons name.

Sa-ar followed as far as his cover would permit him, also using the opportunity to occasionally observe other humans that appeared here or there. There weren't many of them about at this time, however. He began to wonder if Grael had over exaggerated the threat of them, becoming more at ease again.
When she had busied herself by the fruit stand he finally wandered out of the underbrush and walked over to her with a very deliberate gait. This warranted a few mutters or nervous giggles from a few other humans. The proprietor of the fruit stand avoided looking at him altogether. No one could safely say what civil laws lay on this island, and... perhaps indecent exposure wasn't a crime. Sa-ar peered down at Grael from his domineering height.
"What now?"
Subira sighed, fanning herself a little. It wasn't heat that bothered her so much as the stuffiness of the blockish building. There was a quiet hum of electrical appliances as she head over to one of many shabbily assembled desktop computers, with wires and cables going every which way, held down with patches of duct tape. She nodded to one of the people lethargically doing whatever odd jobs they had there and sat down on the hard, cheap, plastic office chair.
"If you wish to print anything... I'm afraid we will have to charge you..." came the voice of an attendant.
Subira glanced up. "That is quite alright. Just give me my total when I'm done," she said, flipping out a card.
The attendant inspected it for a moment, then gave a little shrug and went off to run it through and check its validity.
Subira sighed, putting her thumb drive in and printing the notes. She sat patiently, despite the discomfort. Despite the attempts of an oscillating fan in the corner, the room was sweltering, and without any windows at all, the only source of a breeze was whenever someone opened the front door - which was the only way in or out. That's got to be a clear violation of building code... but I guess there are no building codes since no one technically owns this island yet. Finally, everything was printed out. She colected her pages, retrieved her thumb drive, then went to the clerk to retrieve her card and sign the receipt. "Thank you," she intoned quietly, eager to get back out. She neatly clipped the pages together and tucked them into a folder. With her day's work tucked under her arm, she strode out, taking in the fresh air with a relieved sigh.

Grael looked up as Sa-ar spoke. Unlike the humans she did not even think about the clothing, or in this case lack thereof. She only wore clothing because she found the human form to be quite boring and ugly while some of their fashions to be interesting. She did however notice the giggles and other reactions from the humans in the area, though she assumed it was his height or his hair. Perhaps they found him attractive.
"I was going to see if that building the human girl went into had any other entrances.. " Before she could finish her explanation the human she had been following stepped out of the library. "It seems our prey has come out of it already though. I suppose we will have to follow her for a while longer and come back to this building later."

Subira was about to head to her next destination, but even she was halted by the tall, wild-haired, naked man by the fruit stand. She nearly dropped her folder of pages, fumbling with them only to recover them before they fell out and spilt all over the dirty ground. Clearing her throat and regaining her composure she took a few steps trying to keep a straight face and not look at the strange couple by the fruit stand. However, she could not keep her eyes from wandering over. A hand went up, her fingers delicately pinching what barely constituted as a bridge of her nose as a sigh of exasperation pressed past her full lips, and after all her efforts not to lose her notes, they slipped from her hands and spilt upon the dust.
"T'would seem that I am attracting an inordinant amount of attention even in this state..." Sa-ar said quietly to Grael. "...including your mark." He folded his arms over his chest, his eyes glinting as he stared at the dark woman coming out of the plain building. "Mayhaps I should have remained in cover. Shall I return whence I came, Grael of the Sea?"

Grael smiled at Sa-ar as he spoke. "No. I think we should help the nice lady that you distracted gather her things." This was said with a meaningful glane at her partner before she moved towards the girl.
"Hello. May I help you retrieve your papers?" Grael asked as she knelt next to the girl. Without an answer she began to gather up several of the papers and hand them over to the girl. She didn't even glance at the papers contents. The only human script she had ever bothered to learn to read were the scripts of China and Japan and therefore would have gained nothing from trying to read whatever these papers said.

"Yes, I know Silia," Ci'nala said softly. "I have been staying with her for a few hours, giving her a hand. She's fine, but she wants to see you, strength permitting. That's why I'm here, kind and gentle dragon. I am returning her kindness." She nodded towards him. She then turned to Eclipse. "I thank you for letting me come here. By the way, you never did tell me your name."

((he did, it's on the top of the page.))
Eclipse sighed, which almost sounded like a growl. "If you were listening before you would have heard my name...it is Eclipse."
Kai noted the sound and was pretty sure the black dragon used up his patience with the two from before. So he tried to divert the blue dragon's attention, "And I'm Kai, this other guy here is Max."

((S**t. Sorry Kuro didn't even see it)).
"Well, maybe if you spoke up once in a while," she said silently, but deadly. She turned to Kai and smiled, thankful for the distraction. "Nice to meet you Kai and Max. As your friend here said, I am Ci'nala. I'm an Ocean Dragon, the last of my breed." She looked down in sadness. "But that's okay. I'm guessing Max here isn't your mate, sir Kai." She said with a chuckle, showing that she was goofing around.

With a smile, Achiu closed his eyes. "She's alive," he whispered almost to himself.
Opening his eyes again, he looked at the blue dragon. "I thank you, Ci'nala. I can't wait to see her, either. But I'm afraid that the humans drugs have left me a bit weakened at the moment. But my strength is returning slowly."
He listened to the bantering between Ci'nala and the humans and chuckled at her comment about the two human males being mates. "I don't know about that," he teased. "But I owe my freedom to Max. The scientists were going to send me to the mainland, but he broke me out of the cage."
Noticing Eclipse's growing irritation, Achiu bowed his head. "I am sorry for any inconvenience my presence has caused you, honorable Eclipse. As soon as I have regained my strength, I promise to be out of your scales."
Looking to Max, he bowed again. "I will always be grateful to you, Max. What are you plans after here?"

Sa-ar inclined his head, just the slightest hint of a smile turning at the corners of his lips, even if just briefly, to pass as a 'knowing' look. Taking Grael's cue he followered her over to where the woman had dropped her papers. However, the idea of picking up after a human was far beneath him, so he just gently nudged some of the papers with his foot closer to Grael so that she could more easily grab them. The printed symbols upon the pages were also foreign to Sa-ar's knowledge.
"You're..." Subira had began to say, but noticed that regardless of her response that the woman was intent on gathering her papers. "...too kind..." she finished with quietly. She gave a long side glance at the naked man before turning her attentions to Grael. There was no point in stooping down and grabbing them at the rate they were being gathered. "Thank you," she finally intoned as she took back the papers, stuffing them back into the folder. She looked torn between speaking further or holding her silence as she stared into Grael's deep blue eyes.
