*Enki looks at her for a moment, another soft smile crossing his lips*
No, I don't really have a place to stay. I just figured that if it came to it, I'd crash under a tree or on the beach, but your offer is gladly accepted

"Oh no, you wouldn't want to do that. Something may come along and eat you, and that'd end up being your first impression of my home! Let me get my things, then I can show you where I live." She turned away and was about to leave, but then thought about something important that she had wondered first but hadn't asked yet. She turned back to face him, that innocent look on her face again.
"Um, are you a dragon?"

*He cocks an eyebrow again at this question. Enki isn't exactly sure what kind of place this is and is taken aback at the question of if he is a dragon, not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing to respond to*
Um, no, I can't say that I am

"Ummmm. You might not want to tell anyone that. I'm not exactly sure how we're supposed to treat outsiders, but since you seem like a nice person, I don't mind it. Wait right here!"
She ran down the beach, where she'd left her basket and her clothes. Unfortunately, now that she knew there was someone else on the beach, she felt too embarassed to change. She made a mental note to do that before leaving to the beach next time. After getting her things in order, she changed forms and grabbed the basket in one of her claws. Waving her fan-like wings, the gold dragon flew back to where Enki was, kicking up sand as she landed. She was a little over twenty feet long from nose to tail-tip, maybe not even half that at the shoulders, her scales having yet to take on a completely golden hue, indicating she was still a young drake.
She snorted and shook her head, the whisker-like tendrils around her snout waving around. "Sorry about that, I'm still learning how to fly," she said reassuringly. "I think I should be able to carry you back home though. It's quite a way's from here."

*Enki can only raise both eyebrows at this one. It was definately something he wasn't expecting, to see this beautiful girl turn into big, gold dragon. It only takes him a moment to rregain his composure, having seen MUCH stranger things in his life time. He looks her scaled body up and down for a moment before slowly climbing onto her back, holding on gently*

"Hang on, Enki!"
Lumie spread her wings and pushed up off the sand. The takeoff was clumsy, not being used to the extra weight, but after a few tries, she managed to get high enough in the air to catch the wind, and turn toward home. It was a new experience for her, flying with a rider, but nothing she couldn't overcome easily.
Passing over the plains, the farmers familiar with seeing her flying around everyday glanced up when seeing her shadow pass over, waving up to at her. Fortunately, her wingspan hid Enki from their sight, though they no doubt too would sense him like she did - something she didn't consider before inviting him home, probably because she ddin't really think anything about it. Just a short distance away would be Presea, her home, which she pointed out.
She circled around her usual hilltop, shouting a warning back to Enki that the landing may be a little rough. Once she finally had her claws on the ground, she would extend a wing for Enki to climb down from, then change back into her human form.
"I usually walk home from here because there aren't many places to land near my house, but it's right over there, so it's not far at all," she said excitedly, beaming proudly.

*Enki hops off of the dragoness, looking around for a bit, admiring the view before turning back to her*
Well... after you...?

Lumie started down the hill, telling Enki about the Bounty Plains, Presea, and Angara, asking if Gaia had anything like that. Maybe she was telling him a little too much, but she was naive and Enki seemed nice. She asked about Gaia, deeply curious about any land outside of Angara, already fancying thoughts of somehow visiting it.
"What's your home like?"

Ryugi blocked the ice blast with his sword as it cut through his own. The ice grew up around his hands and sword like it had for Dame, however, Ryugi knew how to deal with ice elementals. He used the energy he had in his body to quickly melt the ice into hot water and steam, first freeing his hands , and then, concentrating on his sword.
As he did so, he jumped back towards Dame to gain a little distance on their friend...(3)

The mysterious man pulled in more energy as his opponent dealt with his attacks, and prepared himself for more of his own moves.
So far, you're hardly a challenge Kazamaru... And the boy is too eager to fight. I'll finish this quickly.(6)
Using six of his turns of energy, a bright blue-white light sprung up around the man, and snow spun around his form. Soon, crystaline ice shards formed and swirled around his body in the form of a shield, each one razor sharp...

*Enki listens intently to the excited words of the young girl and about her tails of the plains, the mountains and surrounding lands, smiling softly to her as she speaks before responding to the question*
Well, Gaia, in many ways, is much like your land, here. It has it's deserts, mountains, oceans surrounding it. There are many large cities inhabited by thousands or people spread out across the lands, such as Barton, Dürem and Aekea. My personal home is an island many, many, many miles out to sea called Leviathan Island where I live by myself, usually, away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

Gaia sounded like someplace she would enjoy visiting. Actually, anyplace outside of Angara, now that she knew there places outside of Angara, would be worth visiting. She tilted her head when he said he lived by himself though, asking him, "Don't you get lonely living by yourself on an island far away from everyone and your friends?"

*He looks over to the girl and smiles a forced, sad sort of smile, before looking back ahead to where they were going*
Sometimes...
