Drake looks to the man and smiles. He was funny. "Im Drake..." he says simply.

"Fantastic name, filled with flavor and fame, on a face that strikes awe, and inspires the same." Abatis gave a short smile, lifting his hat from his head. He threw it with a noisy flourish, to echo his style.
"Marking down monikers is part of my quest, I search through all names, in search of the best."
He wrote down her name, having a scroll produced, and he wrote with much grandeur, a beast of writing had he loosed. He turned to face Drake, the dragon of red. He raised his scroll and quill, the hat falling neatly on his head.
"Pray Drake, be it as simple as that? This is horrid of times, I might cry into my hat."
"Ah, but fair maiden, I see you too."

"So you say you go around collecting names? Then what do you intend to do with those names after you've found the best?" Ed sat down across from her fire. Ora glared at him, because she was already thinking of rhymes in her head now, and there was nothing she could do to change it, even if she killed him. Her eyebrow however came up. "Do you now?"

"Why, keep it of course!" Abatis exclaimed. "If they will not give it up, I shall take it by force."
"Ah, good dragon, your need is just, but I can give you no name, my own self I not trust. Were I to give you a name, it could be the best, then once I came to learn that, I would be stuck with the rest." Abatis paused for a moment, scratching his chin. "But I believe I have an answer, and I shall tell you with a grin! We shall trade our names, both you and both I, for neither our names is the greatest, of this I shan't lie."
The pen and the paper disappeared with celerity, he held out his hand, "So what shall it be?"
"Killing me will get you nothing, but give you a curse, in rhymes you'll be talking."

I aint tradin names. Its a trap! Hes probably gonna steal my body and go wreck havok as a dragon]] Drake smiles and shakes his head. "...Trade I cannot for although it is small. It just so happens to be MY name after all." he says speaking in ryhmes. Even though he knew for ryhming, Ora would have beaten him for some time. "Your offer kind sir, is enticing Im sure. But for this deal that you have in mind. Im sorry to say, I must decline." he says nodding

Ed smiled, "wise of you to decline, Drake, though he's right, your name is too short. I'd suggest elongating, or getting a knighthood of sor..." She cut herself off mid word. "Get a bigger name, charcoal breath."
"So I've seen, but don't think that makes you particularly safe. I still have my temper after all." Ora gave him a slight smile.

"There is no malice, my intent is but kind." Abatis gave a lengthy sigh, and wrote down his find.
"What ho, does the lady join in our games? A rhyme I did hear, that Eulalia proclaims."
"I respond only in kind. You made motions for anger, and that set to my mind."

Eulalia Danae Ed smiled, "wise of you to decline, Drake, though he's right, your name is too short. I'd suggest elongating, or getting a knighthood of sor..." She cut herself off mid word. "Get a bigger name, charcoal breath."
"So I've seen, but don't think that makes you particularly safe. I still have my temper after all." Ora gave him a slight smile.

Ed stuck out her tongue. "I did no such thing. No rhym at all." She tossed back her hair with a fling.
"Annoyance, traveler, and know that it isn't you, so much as a hard day. I died today, and that takes a toll on anyone."

"Perhaps aid I can still provide," He took Drake's uncertainty well within stride. "I might give you a surname, one I'm sure to be good, I only ask you keep my aid quiet, for help I should..." Abatis coughed, his face turning slightly gray. "should not is what, I meant to say."
"Eulalia Danae, that rhyme was disgusting. Perhaps you should stick to our chops you were busting?"
"Dying is hard, I shall grant you that."

Drake gives him a confused look. "So you will help me or...you cant help me?" he asks curiously.

"I'll be sure to add a title if you add a surname." Ed grinned evily. Eulalia flipped him the bird, feeling like a total nerd.
"Done it before I take it?"

"I shall help you, though I ask you keep it quiet. Keep my aid a secret, for it might cause a riot." Abatis flipped through his scrolls and his paper, his brow furrled as if troubled, this was certainly a caper.
"Abindal, Abundale, Bregsby and Trongs. Gregory, Pigornel, Vatternouse and Blongs." His murmered recital, the names of the ages, he continued his search through pages and pages.
"At last I have fond you a name better than death. I give you the fitting surname "Charcoal-Breath."
"I have. Inform the other that her rhymes are terrible."

((They are not, they're just scanty....because Ora is resisting, and wont let me do it in her dialogue.))
"Here here, and I give you the title The semi-grand Baron, Drake Charcoal-Breath." Ed lifted up her hand in an imaginary toast, which she would have totally drunk to, if there was cup and wine available.
"And came back too, I see."
