I had nothing of the sort in mind, actually. I wouldn't wish that kind of fate on any being, Kira chuckled. Water having no effect on the mark on her scale, she began scratching nonchalantly at it with a talon.
I have an idea, Little One, so that neither of us may be harmed in this exchange. But you must promise upon your life that you will be peaceable, or I shall kill you directly.
Most of the soot removed, Kira turned her head to the side to inspect the spot. She almost fully closed the eye closest to the being, not trusting his newfound courage for a moment.

Vahn wasn't exactly stupid.
He knew how close to dying he had come... and how much at mercy he was being treated with. After seeing what it's hide did to a direct physical assault... he pretty much didn't have the wishful thinking to think that another would work....
At leats not before he got tossed into the water.
However....
"For whatever reason... you spared my life up till now... it's only right that I return the favour."
Who the hell am I kidding---! You probaly already know I can't do much against you...
His right hand fell away, resting at his side.
He stood there, folding both arms across his chest, and gathering as much of his former self that remained into one single pose.
"I'm listening."

Snakelike, Kira snapped her head around to stare him down on his own level. "Foolish one..." she hissed aloud. "I did not ask you to listen, I asked you to promise upon your life to be peaceable with me. Can you do such a thing, or have you become so rash as to lose all sense of sentience? If so, I should drown you now like the runt of a litter..."
Kira growled, narrowing her enormous eyes at the being. "So what will it be, Little One?"

"........"
Yellowed eyes narrowed even as the dragon's head came in and glared him down.
With a sudden motion from his right, he hadhis right arm facing foward and bent in a sideways L. His arm was right up against the dragon's jaws, and if it had wanted to... it could have just about ripped it off and tossed him like a rag doll.
"Stop wasting our time... We both know what's the deal here. IF your going to eat, then eat me. But I'll be damned if I'm going to get beraded by a dragon that acts like my mother."

"Well then, Little One, did you know that if I ate you now, I would have to cough up your bones later? You seem the type to stick in my throat. If you harm me, I will inject digestive fluids into my stomach, and you will die within minutes. I hope you have some means of lighting your way."
Kira tossed her head back and filled her chest with air, then promptly swallowed the contents of her lungs. In one swift movement, she lunged at the being on her chest, aiming to swallow him whole.

"Wha--?!"
His rear foot slid back, not finding enough purchase on watered down scales alone, before those jaws closed around him for a second time.
For a moment he felt the deja vu sensation, finding himself right back where he started.
But half a moment later those words seemed to sink in.
The only thing he was going to complain about was that he sincerely hoped he would not be utilizing the back exit... digested or not.

Kira quickly gulped the being down, as she had gulped down that small pod of dolphins that she had encountered hours before. Duty done for the moment, she rolled onto her stomach, pulled her wings close to her body and used her tail to propel her towards the shore.

What was happening to his body now.. was probaly how that one person had felt when being swallowed whole by the Anaconda.
Except perhaps the passageway wasn't so life threateningly constrinctive.
As if that was anything to be happy about.
"--Ngh!"
His entire body was coated in saliva, probaly to help the swallowing motion go more smoothly, and he passed from tounge and now along throat. The feeling... was just undesricable really.
Perhaps deep down he could feel an odd sort of resonace in the fact that he had been born in this manner... body being pushed out a channel and covered in placenta.
Today... is just not my day. His left arm was slightly pinned in against his torso, but his right arm was forward and dangling slightly. So focusing on the tip of his index finger, he did the best he could to summon a crimson flame. It would have the same light output as a match would, and last for a bit longer if he could keep the concentration up.
There was anotable difference in power between black and crimson flame. Crimson was considered the more natural as it was brought into being by relatively real world physics; the same kind of flame you would see on a torch or in a fire place. The black flame was vastly different in speed, power and maleability, because while chemically produced by his body, it was also part of his blood and therefor in a philosphical viewpoint.. more interconnected with his soul.
Long story short: using the red flame would be better than using his black flame, to avoid giving the dragon any reason to begin eating away at him.
After all... it wasn't like he could multiply himself times a thousand and just explode out it's body.

A sensation of warmth began to emanate from Kira's gut, but she felt no direct pain. Yet. As she reached the midway point to the shore, she submerged herself entirely, hoping that the being's clan on the shore wouldn't attack her outright. Little One, you had best let your... friends on the shore know that you are still alive. If they attack me, I will not hesitate to terminate you.

The dragon was coming closer, but was her companion still alive? She wasn't prepared to take on a full grown dragon. She was a good beastmaster, but not that good.
Alex watched as the dragon dove under. Had it eaten him? Was it still hungry?

A large glop of salive.. or maybe gut fluid plopped and ran it's course along his face. There was no point in trying to wipe it away let alone be disgusted.
He was way past the point of return.
"Easy for you to say..." His breath was nothing but short gasps, even as he wheezed out the words. He moved his right hand about, trying his best to get a good look at his 'surroundings'.
He had no genuine clue what he was looking for... but if dragons typically had the same 'feeding' disposition as say... a shark, then all kinds of random objects would be found within the belly of such a large beast.
Aside from the rotten smell of spoiled dolphin.
Or what remained of it...
He would look for the oddest thing that didn't belong.
The hell... I don't know how this works... HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW.
He wasn't a master of anything to do with psionics (this was arguable considering some found his control over heat and flames to be psionic in nature), and so he didn't know what to exactly do in order to get ahold of a telepath.
With Owle it had been different... because his soul literally screamed out without his knowing.. and seemed to reach out to whevere she was.

Bloody hell. A voice screaming in her head was not what she expected. Had she not had herself open to him, she might not have been assaulted by a screaming headache. 'Oi... I hear you... no need to yell...' Alex rubbed at her temples. You'd have a headache too if you'd been using telepathic powers to lift a horse and then had someone yell in your head.

Oh... sorry... Ah... I know how this might look...
He groaned a little as he tried not to swallow any gunk.
But don't attack...er...us...

'Umm... ok... no offense, but I wasn't really looking to attack it anyway... I was hoping the dragon wanted to be friends.' Haha... that would be funny. It eats her partner and then invites her to tea. Either way, as long as it didn't eat her, everything would be fine.
