This Roleplay is between Syoto, Aquamarine, and Old Silverback (and Ithnan, if Draco appears, too. I'm leaving it open for him. wink )
It's part of the shop Metaplot, so even the people who aren't participating might do well to keep an eye on this rp. whee 
Syoto's stomache growled in protest, and the smirk faded, to be replaced with a look of confused annoyance.
"Where's Ithnan?" Syoto wondered aloud, a whining tone in his voice. He paused, then repeated the words, pronouncing the words elegantly this time, as royalty should. "Where is my servent, Ithnan? Was he not supposed to bring me my feast of food befitting the King of the Dragons?" He trailed off, staring into space for a moment before nodding in satisfaction. Much better. "Or at least the future King," Syoto said (in his normal voice this time) as he lay down on the ground, his tail twitching lazily. "As soon as I can prove myself... As soon as I can beat that old geezer, 'Old Silverback'..."
A gleam came into the dragon's eye as he played the scenario in his mind for the ump-teenth time that day. He was imagining the scene more and more these days, especially now that he was really heading down in the direction where Old Silverback supposedly lived.

 In the brush, someone watched the dark dragon as he padded toward her home. She smiled, her light eyes softening in innocent delight. Maybe the handsome Syoto knew of her and was going to ask permission to mate with her? Aquamarine moved quietly, as her "sister" Khala had taught her to do.
She was blissful enough about the dragon of her dreams coming to her home with Khala and Old Silverback that she randomly burst into song with her fine, sweet voice. She didn't realize anyone, much less her beloved Syoto, would notice her sweet singing of a very naive and pretty love song...the sort sung by young girls who dream of a Prince Charming without really knowing diddley-squat about love.
It didn't really matter, because Syoto the Handsome would soon be asking Old Silverback to be her mate...or at least that was what Aquamarine was naively imagining as she walked along behind her Syoto, singing.(Poor Aquamarine's unbelievably naive. xd Oh, and Horse, *do* feel free to use Syoto's adult cert.)

((Gah! Right! I just have to find it first. xd I guess I never got it into my journal, and I just copied the image code from there, so... yeah, I'll try and find the adult code in a sec. ^^ By the way? Lol at Aqua's naive-ocity. whee ))
Syoto was jolted out of his daydream in an instant as someone started... singing? just behind him.
"Woah!" he cried, spinning around and coming face to face with a female dragon who appeared to be.... hiding in the brush, though she was giving herself away with her singing.
Oh, shoot. Syoto thought to himself suddenly. Did she hear me practicing my royal pronounciation?!
"Now see here," he puffed up, speaking in an offended tone, "it's not proper to sneak around behind royalty! I should have you thrown in the royal dungeo-." He stopped midsentence. "that song!" he said aloud, staring into the distance once again. "That voice!"
He bounced over to the female excitedly.
"Do you know any Royal Anthems?!" he asked her in excitement.

(*Keels over dead of laughter* Oh, Syoto, you've gotta be the funniest draggie in the whole frigging shop. xd )
Aquamarine was also startled at being interrupted by her beloved Syoto. Surprised, she blushed that he'd noticed her like this and sat speechless for a few moments. Did he like her voice? What was an "anthem"? What was this business about royalty? Khala and Old Silverback had never mentioned it, or that their kind had any...whatever this royal stuff was. Unable to say anything to the dragon she'd always dreamed of spending her life with and blushing more furiously by the moment, she took to her delicate paws and started running for home.

(( Hehe. He's the King of Comedy! blaugh ))
"Wait!" Syoto cried as his new court minstrel - or so he'd dubbed her in his mind - ran off after just sitting there for several moments in silence. Delayed only for a moment as he wondered to himself if the correct term was actually 'minstress' or maybe 'miss minstrel', he followed, his paws flying out in all directions comically as he ran. Taking note of this, Syoto carefully refined his movements, bringing his feet closer together, taking longer, more elegent steps, and--
THUNK!
-- tripping over his own feet and rolling head over heels before finally stopping himself by slamming his forehead into a treestump that protruded from the path.

Aquamarine skidded to a halt when she heard the "Thunk!" and turned to watch as her beloved Syoto rolled to a stop, slamming his forehead into a treestump. Worried, she turned and walked back, stopping with her muzzle a few inches away from his. "Ummm...are you OK?" she asked shyly in her sweet voice. "Do you need help getting up?" As she gazed at him, she started blushing all over again.
(Now that he's calling her his minstrel, I'm kind of wondering when and how he decides to upgrade her to his queen. xd )

((Hehe. Yeah, I'll get back to you on that. whee ))
"Ummm...are you OK? Do you need help getting up?"
Syoto opened his eyes wearily, wincing at the sudden pain in his head. He was inches away from the face of his new minstrel... or, minstress... or, miss minstrel... She's pretty, the 'King' found himself thinking as he stared at her. He dismissed the thought a moment later and sat up promptly, his back erect.
"No, no, I'm alright. A King needs no help," Syoto lifted his chin in what he hoped was a dignified way, "besides, I couldn't make a lady of all dragons help me."
He paused, examining his future minstrel/minstress/miss minstrel.
"I think there's something wrong with your face," he noted aloud, "It seems to be changing color. Such a pity, if it matched the rest of you, you'd actually be quite attractive..."
He shrugged, dismissing the thought.
"Have you ever given any thought to the occupation of..." Syoto paused, even as he leaned forward eagerly, "erm... Minstrelling? Or... Uh... Oh, who cares what the correct term is. Singing in order to entertain royalty."

Aquamarine was totally confused by Syoto. "Ummm...what's a king?" She looked away in embarrassment at the comment that her face wasn't pretty. "My big "sister" Khala says my face is pretty, but maybe not. I haven't seen my face change colors...." She trailed off, embarrassed, confused, and at least a little hurt. "I'd rather sing only if it made me happy, rather than just for someone else whenever that person wanted." Really hurt that the dragon she'd been trailing and so admired thought so little of her, she started to cry.
(Poor girl, she's really innocent.)

((Aw, poor thing. cry By the way, I'm assuming she's stopped blushing now. whee ))
"A King is... Well, it's a ruler, who looks after his people and keeps his nation prosperous," Syoto explained patiently. He was disappointed when the girl dragon refused his job offer (though he hadn't really been making it clear that he WAS offering a job)
Syoto was taken aback when the girl dragon suddenly began to cry.
"W-Well don't do that," he stammered, unsure of what to do. Syoto was never really around crying females that much, and soothing them was a servent's job. Yet his earlier words echoed back through his mind... 'a ruler, who looks after his people...' A king had to help his citizens...
"Come on, what's making you sad," he asked gently, oblivious to the fact that he was the one causing her tears. With a start, he noticed that she had stopped blushing, and she was indeed very beautiful. "Hey! Look at that! Your face stopped changing colors! I was right, you are very pretty, now! Except..." He paused, feeling a bit awkward. "You'd be prettier without those tears..."

Aquamarine blushed again. "R-r-really? I must have stopped blushing." She sniffled a bit. "I've b-been f-f-following y-you f-f-for w-weeks, S-Syoto, and, I th-think y-you're r-r-really h-h-handsome," she sobbed. She smiled up at him, happy that he thought she was beautiful. "A king takes care of others like us? That sounds like Old Silverback. He raised us after our families died." She sniffled again at the thought that her real family was dead and all she had left was Khala, Old Silverback, and now Syoto.
(On the count of three: One, Two, Three, AWWW!!!)

[[ Dx;; Ithnan's cert went POOF. ._. ]]
Ithnan growled softly, sneaking quietly along the ground as he followed a young deer who appeared to have been attacked early. It was for his King, that's what he had to keep telling himself. He'd been following this thing for the longest time, but every single time that he was about to jump out after it, it would start running in some random direction, even without him making a move. Finally, he decided not even to plan this out. He jumped out while the deer was still walking forward a bit. Immediately, it started trying to prance forward, the gash in its leg making it stumble before it finally fell. A grin on his face at the easy kill, he bit hard into the beast's throat, making sure that it died quickly rather than suffering for too long of a time.
Waiting a moment for it to finally stop moving, its eyes glazing over, Ithnan closed his teeth around one of its legs, digging his claws into its body and tearing the entire flank off. He'd already sated his hunger with rabbits and birds and a few other small animals, but those weren't a suitable meal for a king. However, this certainly was, even if it was from a wounded deer that Ithnan had somehow struggled to catch. Tossing the meat in the air, he clamped it in his teeth at a more suitable angle, so it wouldn't drag on the ground, before heading back to his king.
Unfortunately, Syoto wasn't in sight at the moment. Blue eyes blinked in confusion a couple times, before he looked in either direction, finally catching sight of the dragon he'd been looking for. A bit of a smile came over his face -as much as he could smile with a deer flank in his mouth- before he trotted up to the king, blinking curiously at the female that he was with. Bowing to her first, he then bowed toward the royal blue dragon, dropping the piece of deer meat at his feet. "M-my l-l-liege," he stated calmly, voice still carrying its odd lilt. He stayed with his head bowed, however, waiting for King Syoto to allow him to stand once more.

Syoto blinked, surprised at the female's confession. Before he could properly respond, however, his royal servant, Ithnan, appeared, carrying a flank of deer.
"M-my l-l-liege," he said (as usual, stammering) with his head bowed in respect.
"At ease, Servant Ithnan," Syoto nodded in a dignified way. "Miss, this is Ithnan, my attendant. Ithnan, this is Lady... Um... " He gave the female a questioning look. "I'm sorry, I don't believe I know your name..."

Aquamarine blushed again. "I'm Aquamarine. It's nice to meet you, Ithnan." Ithnan seemed a very sweet friend to Syoto, from what she'd observed, and she was honored to meet Ithnan and Syoto.

As soon as the order was given, Ithnan easily rose to a sitting position, making sure to keep his head lower than that of the king's, as was customary- something that he'd learned in his life of servitude. When introduced to the female, as she gave her name, the dragon got to his feet and turned to her, before bowing deeply. "L-la-lady Aq-Aqua-amar-rine," he noted softly, a blush crossing his face a bit at his inability to say things smoothly or without stammering, especially around a female who was friendly with his king. At least, it seemed that way. Perhaps she had just wandered off while he was bothering to go get deer or something of the like.
Either way, he couldn't help but smile at it being nice to meet him, as it wasn't something he normally heard- then again, he didn't normally meet people- that was Syoto's job. His job... was to do everything that required menial labour. He smiled softly at the female, slowly raising himself back to a sitting position, tail swaying a bit on the ground, stirring up a small cloud of dirt behind him, though it wasn't enough to cause any problems. "Th-the plea-asure's all m-m-mine, m-mil-l-lady," he replied casually. Interesting that this was probably one of the first dragons he met besides Syoto and the pack that had hatched the two of them. Though, he supposed that they didn't count. First of all, they didn't believe Syoto was king. Second, he'd only seen them a few times from his birth, and then never again after that.

Syoto blinked once more as the lady dragon introduced herself.
"Aquamarine," he repeated thoughtfully, "that's a pretty name. It rhymes with queen..." What made me think of that? He wondered to himself, a bit irritated. Anyone can tell from her singing a moment ago that she's a minstrel... er, minstress... She's not queen material... Is she?
Shaking off the thought decidedly, Syoto approached the flank of deer. He knelt to take a bite, then remembered that there was a lady in the vicinity.
"After you, my dear," he bowed graciously, allowing her to approach the food first. He narrowed his eyes at Ithnan. "But you still wait."
