1. You're wandering some woodsy mountain areas alone and maybe you get lost or hurt or some such. Next thing you know, you're set up in a little camp with a fire going, it's dark, it's pretty damn cold, and there's a guy definitely not dressed for the weather in just a long, loose tunic and trousers, with long black hair tied back in a low ponytail. I mean, that's probably because you're wearing his winter cloak as a blanket, but.



2. MAN WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO SEE A DRAGON. They're pretty rare nowadays, but hey, look, there's one sleepily sunning itself on a pile of rocks like a big dumb lizard. It's pretty, if a bit small at maybe the side of a draft horse, all sleek black scales with some iridescence when the light hits it just so, its nearly opaque webbed wings spread out to soak up the warmth. Those're some sharp teeth and claws though, huh.

[ biting back a reflexive "but I want to?" ]

...It seems like it might be lonely, though.

[fuilscales]

Certainly! But I don't mind much.

[ghostfromthemachine]

You do realize that means you mind some.

[fuilscales]

Yes, of course. But if I worried about every time I was lonely I wouldn't get anything done.

[ghostfromthemachine]

Ah— I wasn't intending to imply that you should. Rather... I suppose I'm looking for a reason to come visit again, if you wouldn't mind it.

[fuilscales]

[ clearly surprised ]

... you want to see me again?

[ghostfromthemachine]

I would.

[fuilscales]

[ he seems... confused. ]

Whatever for?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ because you just got confused?! ]

Among other things... I get lonely, too.

[fuilscales]

Oh.

... I'm afraid I'm not used to this sort of thing.

[ghostfromthemachine]

That's fine, I'm honestly not either.

[fuilscales]

Are you quite sure...? I'm fairly unlucky to be around.

[ghostfromthemachine]

...I appreciate the warning, but it should be all right. I wouldn't call myself lucky, precisely, but what luck I have tends to be predictable.

[fuilscales]

... Well. If you're certain, then.

Um... thank you.

[ghostfromthemachine]

Thank you, Callum-kun.

[ ur getting friend honorifics now ]

[fuilscales]

[ ????? what does that mean ]

Oh-- no, it's just Callum. Or Callie. I don't mind either.

[ghostfromthemachine]

Ah— sorry, "kun" is— where I'm from, you use it for men you're friends with, roughly? I can just use Callie instead.

[ because that's really cute, ]

[fuilscales]

... oh... is there something I should call you, then?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ ... she has made a terrible mistake ]

"Chan" is the version for girls, but you don't have to use it...

[fuilscales]

It does make your name longer...

[ DEBATIIiinnng ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

Is that a bad thing?

[fuilscales]

Oh, well-- no, I was only expressing the thought. I'll be happy to call you whatever you wish.

[ghostfromthemachine]

I'm good with either.

[fuilscales]

[Please that is too much power]

... then... Miss Kaiko.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ look she couldn't back down once she'd said it,

"MISS" IS ABSOLUTELY STILL ENOUGH TO MAKE HER BLUSH, THOUGH ]

...That's still a little formal, but we can work on it.
