Scene #2237: Dragons, everyone. Everyone, dragons. 'rar'

Owner	Pose
Valka	It takes a little bit of doing, coercing Stormfly through the portal, since she's never gone. The Terrible Terror just sits in Valka's lap and meeps as they go through, and Cloudjumper, an old hand at portals, goes through without a word of protest. And finally, after a few more hops back and forth, Valka, Cloudjumper, Stormfly, and the nameless Terrible Terror (because really, when you have so many of them, and they don't come /anyway/, why name them?) arrive in the Skygarden of Njorun Station. Valka is dressed comfortably in her leather armor, with her staff, directing Cloudjumper to land in an open area near the basin of water and the honeysuckle plants. Hopefully she won't cause too much of a commotion since she was told to come here.
Fayt Ravus	Dragons? Well, Fayt runs a company called Black Dragon Shipping so... why not go say hi? At least that's what Fayt was thiking as he mad his way out of his office nad up to the skygardens, pausing for a moment as he spots cloudjumper arriving. "Wow..." As they settle by the basin, Fayt carefully approaches. "Erm... Hello?"
Xiaomu	As for Xiaomu, she should probably be working on a report about the other night, if not for the Union then for Shinra internal circulation. But the odds of that world's conflict spilling into the world Xiaomu hails from are pretty low by her estimate, and since she didn't actually use any bullets that trip, there are no expenditures to be accounted for, so she was free to head for the Skygarden and see what kind of dragons Valka was talking about. She also grins and waves to Fayt, then turns most of her attention back to the incoming Cloudchaser, shading her eyes with a hand as she peers at the approaching dragons. Once the dragons get close enough to see Valka, she stops shading her eyes and uses that arm to wave in greetings.
Valka	The massive dragon - yes, he really is massive - lands surprisingly lightly near the pond, allowing Valka and her Terrible Terror to slide off without too much trouble, the Deadly Nadder landing close to them as well. Valka does give a wave before she lands, though, once the light doesn't require blocking and a wave comes her way, the red-haired woman walking over, letting the Terror down to scuttle and sniff around, much like a curious dog would when it first hits a park - except this one has wings and can breathe little squirts of fire. "Hello there." Valka says, using her friendliest tone. "Good evening to you both." She chuckles. "How's your side after the practice, Fayt. Didn't bruise you too badly, did I?"
Fayt Ravus	Oh dear, the fox is here. Fayt waves back to Xiaomu, looking just a bit confused. "Oh erm... hi Xiaomu. how are you?" hen then looks to Valka, looking just a tad embaressed. "I'm alright, didn't have to use too many healing spells to fix everything, r-really." with that said, Fayt idly turns his attention to the Dragons, head slowly tilting from side to side as he watches them carefully. "...big."
Xiaomu	"Big, small, and in between," Xiaomu remarks, looking over the dragons with a smile. "And I'm all right, Fayt. Glad to see you're doing well." ... arguably in spite of what sounds like it was a pretty good sparring match with Valka. She's going to let him rest up and give the bruises time to fade before she tries a return match with the merchant mage.
Valka	Valka's eyes widen a little at the fox-eared blonde - with tails, mind you - before she smiles. It takes a lot for her to be surprised nowadays - the multiverse is a wonderful teacher for tolerance and acceptance. "That's right, you didn't see any when you came...well, no time like the present!" She turns and, with a flourish, gestures to the three dragons who have accompanied her to this place. "Lady. Gentleman? Meet Cloudjumper, a Stormchaser, Stormfly, a Deadly Nadder, and the nameless, but very cute Terrible Terror." Each one, except for the Terrible Terror, bob their heads at the pair in greeting before turning to look around. The Terrible Terror is busy investigating Xiaomu's tail and trying to build up the nerve to grab it, tiny claws reaching out to tug it....
Fayt Ravus	Fayt, once again looksing over the dragons, visibly impressed, that is untill a look of confusion crosses his face. "wait... I only see two of them, where'd the third get too?" Carefully, he looks down, glancing around for signs of the Terrible Terrer, who's apparently darted behind Xiaomu.
Xiaomu	"GYEEK!" Xiaomu's head is tipped backwards a bit, and she reaches around behind herself to try and disengage the Terrible Terror from one of her tails. "Y'mean this one ... ?" she asks, still wincing a bit from the abuse of a tail.
Valka	The Terrible Terror is clenching on to one of Xiaomu's tails with both foreclaws and is starting to fly up and away when he is discovered! Squeaking loudly as the fox-eared woman bats at him, the little dragon circles around and lands, quite grumpily, on Valka's head, blowing a little lick of flame to protest the cruel treatment he just received from the woman who wouldn't let him play with her hair. Valka looks up at the newly-landed dragon and chuckles, reaching up to pluck him from his perch, cradling him like a cat. "You wouldn't like me pulling your wings, would you?" she admonishes. "Why do you think she wants you to pull her hair?" Then, to Xiaomu - "Sorry about that. They're extremely curious. Like cats, from what I've been told."
Fayt Ravus	Fayt makes a VERY weird sound, a sort of sputtering noise as he ALMOST laughs at Xiaomu's little exchange with the Terrible Terror before his simply coughs. "Erm, here." He aims his staff over at Xiaomu's tail, the staff starting to twist and move about in an unnautral manner as Fayt says calmly. "While bolt." A bolt of bright white energy fires from the staff at Xiaomu, it's a simple healing spell, should help deal with any damange the tail might of taken and hopefully get Xiaomu to forget Fayt almost laughed at her.
Xiaomu	Xiaomu lets out a sigh of relief, and smiles at Fayt. "Thanks," she says appreciatively, drawing the mistreated-then-healed tail over her shoulder to make sure it's all right. "It's not my hair the little guy was pulling, either," she explains to Valka. "Not exactly, at least ..." She shows no sign of recognizing that she almost got laughed at, so fayt can probably relax some.
Valka	"Still..." Valka looks sheepish. "He's normally one of the calmer of the Terrors we have....but if you wave something interesting in front of them, sometimes they just can't help themselves. The larger ones..." She looks over at Cloudjumper and Stormfly. "They're much more sociable. Would you care to meet them?" And of course, when Valka looks over, the dragons perk up and start over to see the pair of peoples.
Fayt Ravus	"no problem. It's what I do. Well... aside form getting stuff." Fayt replies to Xiaomu, looking just a tad embaressed. As the Dragons approach, Fayt holds still, trying his best not to look too spooked. When he finally speaks, he keeps his voice steady. Managing to sound more curious than scared. "Um... hello?"
Xiaomu	"Should I have brought some steaks or haunches of mutton to offer them?" Xiaomu asks as she heads towards the larger two dragons, the rings on her staff's headpiece jingling softly each time the staff's bottom end hits the ground as she walks.
Valka	"Don't be scared." Valka says softly, stroking the little dragon between it's horns, the green skinned beastie turning over and almost purring. Cloudjumper sinks down on his stomach and peers at the pair, looking to Valka for approval before sniffing, his head tilting slightly to the right at the jingling of the staff. Stormfly, the smaller of the pair, walks over, reminding those in the know of the movements of a chicken before he settles down, his spines rattling against each other as he preens before bumping Fayt lightly, to say hello. "No, no. We had dinner before we came. A hungry dragon isn't very friendly to new people, after all." Thank you, though." Valka leans on her staff and watches the interactions..
Fayt Ravus	"Oh!" Fayt actually wobbles a bit as Stormfly bumbs into him. "Erm, hi there." Taking a moment to steady himself, fayt slowly, carefully lifts a hand towards stormfly's head. does hte dragon like people petting him? Also, he seems to relax a bit once he hears the dragons ate recently.
Xiaomu	Xiaomu plants her staff in the ground before approaching to within reach of the dragons - and 'within reach' doesn't mean arm's length for her, it means 'close enough the dragons could touch her' whether with a claw, a wing, a tail, or what have you. Either she doesn't want to risk her staff getting damaged, or it's a sign of trust that she won't need it up close. ... oh, and that also means she's got both hands free. She bows slightly to Cloudjumper, and lets herself get sniffed at by Cloudjumper.
Valka	Cloudjumper, in a word, is enormous. He carried Valka and the Terrible Terror here without breaking a sweat. He carried multiple people at once without breaking a sweat and, despite his size, is extremely graceful. He seems surprised at the bow, looking to Valka for a moment before he leans down to sniff the back of Xiaomu's neck - specifically the ears and the tail - before sending a puff of breath down the back of her vest. Stormfly does like people petting her, squawking a little and bumping her nose into Fayt's hand, shifting around so Fayt can get the spot on the back of her neck that she can't easily reach. Valka laughs softly, petting the Terror in her arms and watching. "Be careful. They'll wiggle their way into your hearts."
Fayt Ravus	Fayt carefully reaches around to pet the back of stormfly's neck. "I see, hard to get at right? This help?" He definitly seems a lot calmer now. While he's helping Stormfly with that hard to reach spot, Fayt looks over at Xiaomu curiously, head slowly tilting to the side. "..."
