Arctang had considered for some time what to bring the Dragon King, staring into the fish pond in his gardens, surrounded by dragon song. Thus it was understandable what he held in his hands as he approached Yu.

With a bow, Arc held out his hands, cupped around a creature roughly the size of a full-grown rat. It was a small dragon, shaped more like a snake with wings than the classic version. It had a handsome, wedge-shaped head, lovely wide wings, and balanced on two 'hind' legs. It had a long tail, which was wrapped securely around Arc's wrist as its tiny claws clung to his fingers. It was covered in jewel-tone scales, ranging from rich sapphire blue to brilliant gold, with bright yellow eyes that peered brightly up at the much much bigger dragon.

"My Lord," Arc began, feeling it important to give his fellow deity the honor of such a title on this day of tribute. "I bring to you, unchained and uncaged, a parrogon." The tiny dragon trilled at being introduced and flared its wings. "I can't say I know where it is from, nor what its gender or name is. However, it has been living in my garden the past several days, making itself a welcome guset for its talent." He shifted it to one hand, gave it a gentle stroke, then tossed the little thing into the air, motioning towards the Dragon King with his other hand.

The parrogon twined through the air and landed directly in front of Yu, nearly touching the larger dragon. It looked up, stretched out its head and neck upwards, sucked in a breath that swelled its throat, and burst into song. A merry tune warbled from its throat, sweet and light. Arctang beamed, glad to see the little thing enjoyed singing, even with such a larger creature looming over it. "I don't know where it learns its songs. I think perhaps it picks them up from what it hears, mimicking them. That talent is why I call them parrogons, since they... seem like a cross between a parrot and a dragon." He stumbled a bit at the end, feeling foolish at calling them that, but it had seemed appropriate at the time. Now he wasn't so sure the pun was something Yu would approve of. Oh well, damage done!

With another bow, Arc tried to regain his dignity. "I hope the little one can keep you company and entertain your quiet moments," he finished in a more formal tone of voice. He couldn't help flashing the small parrogon a last smile before stepping back to let the next person forward.
