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.

[bosssfight]

[fuilscales]

blood ]

[bosssfight]

[good good good bad

[checking for any actual blood]

[fuilscales]

[ upon closer inspection it smells old and dried, somewhere near the vicinity of its head.

One wing shifts, stretching ]

[ecotonal]

[ scratching his head ]

[ indicating the "blanket" ]

[fuilscales]

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

[fuilscales]

[ that seems to attract some attention. the person gets up, concerned, to come kneel closer, all messy hair in their face and such ]

[ecotonal]

'S nice of you. Thanks.

[fuilscales]

[ !!!!! I WAS THANKED

[bosssfight]

[shrinks back, coiling up in a tidy pile to observe]

[fuilscales]

[ it just shifts a little, adjusting its legs, and seemingly goes back to sleep without noticing you. huh. ]

[bosssfight]

[who am i to judge a reptile sleeping in the sun]

[...like ten minutes later, stretches out and pokes it with his nose]

[fuilscales]

[ it jolts a little, lifting its wings-- all four of them, the second pair mostly hidden under the larger top ones-- and raising its head sleepily, looking around with bleary eyes.

and then it sees a ??? BIG OL SNAKE???

it makes something of a pathetic squawk, jolting backwards and onto all fours, dark eyes wide, a third eye opening on its forehead with its surprise ]

[bosssfight]

[flicks his tongue in HIGH INTEREST, stretching out his neck further]

Sssss?

[fuilscales]

[ skitters nervously backwards, half-tripping over its own tail ]

Uhh-- sh-shoo, shoo, go on, I-I'm too big to be eaten!

[bosssfight]

[looks over the dragon, looks at himself, hm hmmmm]

No. Ssssssmall.
