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.

[ecotonal]

M' own fault for not wakin' up. This yours?

[ indicating the "blanket" ]

[fuilscales]

Oh-- yes. I thought you needed it more than I do, so...

[ecotonal]

'S nice of you. Thanks.

[fuilscales]

[ !!!!! I WAS THANKED

Blushes a little ]

Oh-- of course! I couldn't leave you there...

[ecotonal]

Y'could've? Some would've.

[fuilscales]

[ earnestly ]

No, no, I could never.

[ecotonal]

[ amused noise in the back of his throat ] Y'can have it back, anyway. 'm good.

[fuilscales]

You're certain...? Aren't you cold?

[ecotonal]

Nah. 'm used to being out here.

[fuilscales]

[ ... he looks very concerned. and maybe a little sad. ]

I see...

[ecotonal]

[ ??? ] 's not a bad thing.

[fuilscales]

It seems like it might be lonely.

[ecotonal]

's not. My family lives pretty close. [ and there's like a couple hundred kodama, all of whom love to make his life interesting ]

[fuilscales]

... oh! It must be lovely, then.

[ that definitely sounds nice ]

[ecotonal]

Yeah. [ he loves his family, ] Y'live close by? Or just traveling?

[fuilscales]

Oh, I travel a little. But I stay in this mountain range.

[ecotonal]

Huh! So we're neighbors.

[fuilscales]

Are we?

[ecotonal]

Th' mountains are next to th' forest, right?

[fuilscales]

Oh... I suppose, yes. And on them.

But I'm not-- this isn't my territory, or anything like that.

[ecotonal]

Doesn't have t' be for you t' live here.
