Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well the human hadn't done much. Just run off. It had more to do with a certain dragon egging him on, but Ian wouldn't know that. Nope. Fluffy just wagged his tail and happily barked at the fellow in response, letting the other pet him a bit. [I'm not lost. I'm exploring!] And looking for Cecil to eat. Unlike them, Fluffy lived here. Sort of.

He lived on the mountain.

Now he was roaming the plains finding all the humans he could and saying hello. This was a ton of fun really. Better than being cooped up in one corner of a mountain with a bunch of cranky dragons and a cube. [He ran really fast afterwards.] Once again, they'd hear nothing but a few quick barks in response, but they hadn't any reason to think Ian was next. Afterall, happy puppy was currently quite happy and just playing. So with that, he merely pranced around the pet psychic a bit and gently nudged him to sniff at the odd smells he'd gotten in his roaming. He certainly smelled a little different from the last time on the mountain.

But at least he didn't smell like the one who... might have wet themselves? He wasn't sure, but that one smelled foul. He didn't want to sniff Louise anymore. Nope.

Though his prancing was ruined by the sight of Torvil charging forward along with the voice in his head. [THEY ARE GOOD ONES! ...for now.] The second bit was after a moment as the canine quickly looked up with a jerk and growled in the dragon's direction.

NO KILLING HIS NEW FRIENDS!

Louise just stared as he carefully picked his worn body up from the ground. It was a dragon, a real live dragon! His brethren! Lou couldn't believe his eyes, he wanted to touch it, to feel that magnificent scaly hide.

He started walking towards it, thinking that if he did die today, it wouldn't be so bad. He would have no regrets, having finally fulfilled his lifelong dream.

Hannah had managed to dodge the Cerberus, but not by much - it'd been a combination of luck and training, although in hindsight, probably mostly luck. But she couldn't find it in herself to blame the creature for the near collission, considering it'd just saved them again, this time by scaring off the attacking wyvern. "You are one hell of a great do-- Cerberus!" Her voice was admiring, as was the wide smile she threw at the creature.

Quickly patting herself down in search of treats, she eventually came up empty and sighed, "Ah, afraid not. Got some strawberry gum, but not entirely sure that's fittin' for a t-r-e-a-t." Best not to say the word and get the Cerberus' hopes up - while she still wasn't sure whether not the creatures understood English, she was pretty sure that they hadn't yet learned to spell, at least.

And the dog monster had found Ian and seemed quite overjoyed to get re-acquainted. Which was good, the happier the creature was, the safer they'd be. And it was best not to think about where exactly that blood had come from, yeah.

Then, just as she'd been about to urge everyone onwards, a goddamn dragon came charging in. "Ian!" She stopped herself from running towards him, but couldn't help the shout. The Cerberus still seemed to be on their side, and looked to be challenging the dragon. "Are you hurt? Can you move?"

Hannah kept a sharp eye on the situation and ready to move, in case this came to a fight and Ian needed extracting. And then the bedraggled man in the green dragon costume started moving towards the actual, live, aggressive dragon. "Mister Lou!" One could nearly hear the exclamation points at the end of that shout, "what the hell are you doing?!"

Hannah's HP: 19

The humans would only hear and see the oversized dog stomping it's feet and snarling angrily at the dragon a few times, but obviously there was a conversation to be had here. Not that anyone else got to be a part of it. [BUT THEY PET ME!] Not that Tavast would understand the wonders of grooming and fun. [That one was nice even before we got loose.] He added, jerking his head to where Ian was on the ground.

[Only some are bad?] He added hopefully, giving the group a quick look with a wag of his tail, obviously calming down a bit since Tavast wasn't biting anyone for the moment. Still, he did seem to be straying to one side a bit. The dragon didn't like humans, and well... they could leave. [Humans are better alive. The dead ones don't make me feel more energetic.] He added, not sure why, but the absolute terror they seemed to have over this mess made him rather hyper and happy. Giddy really. [Leave them? We can find one worth ridding the world of.] He offered, sort of shifting to try and edge the dragon away, still keeping his smaller form between the humans and the fellow beast.

For their own good. He was giving Tavast that little puppy stare as he looked up. Because that totally worked on pissy dragons.

And Fluffy beamed happiness and sunshine at the dragon for it, even if Tavast was a cranky butt-muffin about it. A few quick barks of farewell were offered to the group of humans as the Cerberus bounced a few steps and then roamed off. [BYE BYE HUMANS STOP FINDING THINGS!] Not that they'd understand.

Either way. Their guard was gone, but so was the aggressive dragon. They were close to where they'd begun really.

[Hey Tavast can I ride on your back?] Was a quarry the dragon got as the canine pranced after him.

[EXIT WITH TAVAST.]

They were down one friendly guard dog but also down one man-eating dragon.

Ian didn't know how to feel about it.

1 : Nothing happens (Probably a relief after the day they've had)

The rest of the walk was uneventful, but Len remained on edge the whole time anyway. Every little noise and rustle in the foliage made him tense up, ready to jump away. But nothing else leaped or dived on them, and then the next curve in the path revealed the entrance to the dock area.

A 4-wheeler sat abandoned by the gate; Len groaned out loud. "We really could've used that on the other end of this trip ... "
