Eilynne glanced at Sylin and cupped her hand around so the ball of light had somewhere to roost if it so desired. "Whatever the Dragonlord desires he shall have as long as it is in reason. Speak and we shall answer."
He was taking it all in, listening to everything and making his own deductions. There were more dragons around which meant a possibility of increasing his own camp's load. He'd be paid and then he could go on about his merry business. The white and red were prime targets as well. Hearty, healthy dragons were the best to have. They would struggle at first but eventually, they would go down.
He suddenly felt a twinge and glanced down then gave a nod to Sylin. "Excuse me." Sliding through the deadly barrier was easy for him and he stood before them. "You two look cozy."
"Dragon babies can't be big, Xeke. That defies logic." Shaking her head and then blinking once, then twice. "You cook, we gotta go." She knew Xeke was getting the same call and he'd quickly follow. She disappeared and reappeared amidst the dragons, bouncing around like a happy child. "Bellah and Kazzy sittin' in a tree. KISSSSSSSSINNNNNGGGGGGG!"
"I don't wanna find more dragons. Why do we gotta do that, Cap'n? What if they want to eat me? You won't let 'em eat me, will you?"

Logan sighed at Xeke. "Listen let me point out something here. One I am only half human, I'm not a full human I'm a different breed which means I'm not even part of the dragon species either. Two I was not talking about cannibalism at all, when one gets their skin burned by the sun it is because of the heat and it can damage one badly and in the end it would be better to get rid of the dead limb then to keep it attached and cause one pain, that's how it is." He could tell these Seons never had a flesh and bone body before, if they did then they would know what he meant. Though from where he sat he kept an eye upon the barrier in front of him, this place was really weird but he choose to come to this one. "No." Was his answer to Xeke's question. "I'm the only one who is like this, but I have found someone who cares for me just like anyone else would care for another." Though he did miss her fiercely right about now. Then Areesa was gone, it seemed she had something important to do.

It didn't seem like Xeke had expected a rolling answer like that but he merely bobbed in place, as indifferently as before. "So what you're saying is, you are special and you think we have no concept of pain. Unfortunately, you could be wrong." But indeed feeling something like Areesa did, though his signal was coming more from Kaz himself, the blue light reappeared next to Rahsaveer within seconds. "Extremely cozy." And the Seon didn't mean it the way the Laerethe did either... The hull of the ship seemed like a different plane altogether now with all the water and ice and snowflake things swirling in the air. "This can only be a temporary solution. The heat is only going to increase as we cross the Sea. Kaznec's core is still warm and your presence is the only thing suppressing it and keeping the temperature balanced in here. But you don't look too well yourself, Jaebelltiah."

“Sand Hawk Requests.” Indeed ‘resting’ in the hand that was offered, color shifting in shades like ripples for a moment. “In Need of Those Who Live In Clarity.” It was pretty sure that the being knew what was going on with apparently what was wrong with Kaznec…Sylin wasn’t quite sure yet but it could guess that with all this heat and Kaznec taking after his father’s element… “Dragon calls Are few.”
She narrowed her eyes at the little star marked male and the balls of yellow and blue light. “Cozy and kissing should be the last thing that any of you should deduce.” Yes she was defensive but why shouldn’t she be? Kaznec wasn’t well off and she herself was freezing now and her body wasn’t letting her turn off whatever it was she had turned on to trigger all of this. Thusly it was shivering and frosty breath for her right now. She should be asking what the heck was happening with her and how to stop or start it or anything like that but she was more focused on Kaznec right now. “That’s the problem…I don’t know how or what I’m doing even. There has to be something else to help him, right?” Pointed worried look to the Laerehte there.
“Why wouldn’t you want to find more dragons, Treasure? You’re a dragon. Dragons like other dragons. And we need to find them because Kaznec may need their help.” Making adjustments and getting sails and such down as needed as they were setting out toward that glass. “I doubt they would want to eat you, but even if they do I promise I won’t let them eat you. Who could eat such a dashing man like yourself anyway?”

She did indeed understand immediately what the Seon was asking. "Kaznec's needs will be taken care of. All will be done as according to Plan." Studying the ball of light for a moment. "Does Dragonlord require assistance in another form as well, Sylin?"
"Fair enough." He was slightly chastised but he reached out to Areesa since the Seon made a strangled sound. She hated being talked to in that manner. Rahsaveer settled the ball somewhere around his shoulder and crouched down next to Kaznec and Jaebelltiah, not terribly hard since they were on the ground. Neither of them looked too good right now. "Yes."
"Kazzy's bein' cooked? Quick, Xekey, get the rude half thingamajig. He knows about bein' cooked!"
"They like to eat little dragons," he insisted quite adamantly. But he was extremely happy to learn that, in fact, Gem wouldn't be letting them eat him. "Just keep your promise, cap'n."

"No I never said I was special, you said I was. And I never thought you didn't feel pain, you may or may not but I don't know that." Though it seemed that Xeke was gone and Logan was left to stare at what was in front of him, this was getting to be too odd. So with a sigh he got up and went off to go do some work, they needed to get ready to travel the sea so he might as well pitch in to get it started early.

Desdemona nodded lightly.
"Then we'll need something for Kanzec's health. Bell will only be able to do so much. can you tell if it's only one or if it's many of those shards we're looking for?"
Hunter was keeping his ship about a boat length behind the Claw, though watching the time carefully. he had been given to the end of this day to get his dealings done. and that end was rapidly appraoching. then he'd have to hand over Teach to Jones.
"Keep lively, we'll have guests tonight, hopefully not for too long. then it's on into the glass sea."

"At leat a few of them out here. Not just one but they're not too far apart from one another. As for Kaznec...well if I have to I can keep him alive. He won't enjoy it but I can do such things."
Was it to tell about what was happening in Ilindal was the question? Sure it was free to make it's own choice in the matter since it'd been given no order on the information but still... "No. Lycear's city is Under control. For the Time Being."
It was not a good time to be short and vague with her. Survival instincts of course made her confrontational and disatisfied with most things that weren't going to be useful. Before she knew she was doign it, she had pounced Rahsaveer with a growl, shoving him hard to the floor and more or less pinning him there with her hands gripped at his shoulders, crouched over him with a growl in her throat and tail lashing. "Yes?! That's all you have to say?!" Indeed a distinct growl behind her words to accompany the feral look in her eyes. "I have no idea what is happening to me or him for that matter and all you have to say is 'yes'?!"
Another pat to his head despite his hat. "I will. I promise I won't let them even get a lick of you so they'll never even know how you taste. How's that sound? And if all else fails, we can just trade you for a muffin. No one can turn down a muffin you know."

"Good." Pesky pirates were making a minor nuisance of themselves but that was really all it was. She wasn't particularly worried about Lycear or Ilindal since it's fate was already decided anyway. When interference was required, she'd interfere quite seamlessly. "How soon must it be done?"
He knew almost immediately that he'd said the wrong thing and it was quite daunting to see a dragon coming at him that way. Deflecting her was almost impossible, even with her small stature, since his size wasn't even a fourth of hers. He closed his own eyes, his face scrunching slightly and an irritating ringing sound would begin in Jaebelltiah's mind and get considerably louder the longer she held on. He froze her mind to get her attention then released her though the sound would only stop when his existence was no longer threatened. Males of his kind had very little physical ability but were strong mental beings.
"Jaebelltiah. I am aware of the situation and all of it's nuances. I don't have the answer you wish but Kaznec will be taken care of promptly. Don't worry." Reaching up and gently resting a hand against her cheek to once again attempt to calm her down. He knew she was feral, and in truth, he was overjoyed.
"Wonderful, Cap'n!" She didn't know he'd been taught that wild dragons would eat him. Then again, why would any try to turn him against his own race? He giggled like the child he was and couldn't resist throwing his arms around her middle and burying his face in her stomach. "Thank ye!"

"Timely." Which could and probably did mean soon as possible, but you didn't tell these creatures what to do or hurry up, merely suggest that it would be better to help others sooner than later.
His words did little to soothe her as did his tenative touch...after all he still was being vague. That sound burst between her ears and seemed to beat her brain around her skull in high pitched keening as it assulted her. At first it had been mildly annoying but within seconds it was practically unbearable and drawing a growl from her throat and forcing her to let go of him and step back still in crouched fashion, wings slacking and arching forward around herself as if they would buffer the sound. Instinctively her hands covered her ears, trying to drown it some even if it wasn't coming from outside her head.
She wrapped an arm around his shoulders and gave him a squeeze of a hug before letting him go but let him continue to latch to her. "Stick with me Treasure and you're going to find that you have little to worry about."

"I'm not exactly sure that Bell would take kindly to your methods, not that it wouldn't be useful, but her mental state probably wouldn't handle any discomfort in the process as a thing to do."
Leaning on the railing some.
"So, what did bring a necromancer to a desert? Surely you didn't come for the view. and I have a hard time imagining that an elf would randomly leave one place for another without having some idea of the destination."

"She would just have to deal, wouldn't she? Maybe I'll just drain her own life to sustain his. He's alive, she's not a threat and everyone is happy because everyone else is alive." Comfort was nothing of her concern after all...besides half the things she did make people uncomfortable anyway and probably wasn't even touching them. A little frown of course at what could be taken as a barb but Savryn didn't like to rise to bait, perhaps another trait she shared with her father and at least on of her brothers lacked.
"A desert is just a different environment to study in. Did I know this was a desert before I came to it? No. Nor did I care...but a different study environment is just indeed that: an opportunity to learn. Life and Death are never the same in different places." One hand moving up to pet at the falcon on her shoulder who was chewing at her beads in his own amusment. "My mother calls is Wanderlust, 'When Your Feet Wander The Land With Passion' and my father calls it 'Thing Be Damned'. Us elves do strange things I suppose...but it's not like it's a trial out here for me. I barely even feel the heat."

"what's to study out here. most anything alive is beneath the sand, and what's dead has been dead usually for so long I fail to see how it counts as study material for an art that already deals with dead things. I mean bone is bone. How different can bones be."
a slight smirk.
"'thing be damned' huh. I take it your father isn't the kind to go roaming without some specific reason for it. Like coming to help you."

A light smirk even as clouded eyes never looked to whom she was speaking to. "That is where those who are not necromancers can not grasp what the art is about." Yes she had found many redeeming qualities here. "Knowing where something is alive without seeing it beneath the sands, the dead here are existing in particular matters...soul fragmentation for example back at a temple, is not a common thing. The sand and salt allows for little decay, which allows for more study." Crossing her arms lightly. "Your ignorance to it all is only expected. A bone is just a bone to you. But if bones were just bones...my job would be easier." Shaking her head lightly to that.
"My father leaves the house and his lands for four things and four things alone: My mother, his children and family, business ventures he deems worthy, and random conquering and or maiming that is needed. A man's home is his castle as I hear it and he enjoys being King of his castle." Not that she was speaking ill of her father, though most probably didn't see it that way. Sure, he hated her when she was born and they had problems and such for a while, but she still did love him and never spoke ill. And yes her mother was in her own category all together.

"What is this soul fragmentation thing. and what are teh differences in the bones then?"
but listening anyway.
"So he treats his home as Hunter treats his ship. Only leave it when you have to. he only left it to see me, to do buisness, or when he needed supplies or repairs."
