The full wheel

[Nephrite]

"Baleruk." Moore greets him with a smile and a wave, one which may not have the same overwhelming sound, but still carries the same weight, if not perhaps a bit more.

"Welcome to Hope's Landing." He says as he gestures over to Elle's shop. "I think you'll be impressed by our other guest."

[Anastasia]

Baleruk circles and lands, perching before it as he eyes it.

"This is what you have summoned THE MIGHTY BALERUK for?"

[Nephrite]

"Yes. Like I said, you'll probably need to change yourself so you can fit." Moore explains.

[Anastasia]

Baleruk rears back and bellows, "YOU DARE, BUILDING? YOU DARE TO CONSTRAIN THE MIGHT OF THE PRISMATIC BALERUK?!"

As Baleruk bears his teeth to the shop, it naturally does not reply...until the door morphs into a dragon's mouth and snout again. It bares its down teeth at Baleruk, as if challenging him.

[Nephrite]

Moore's face is stone-cold and impassive as he watches this.

Inwardly, he's grinning, but he really should intervene here.

"You wouldn't want to make a bad first impression, would you?" Moore asks, entirely innocently.

[Anastasia]

Give me another Diplo check.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 136 again. : )

[Anastasia]

Baleruk's answer is a thunderous roar, which is returned by the shop. Both bare their fangs at each other, bellowing back and forth.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes in a breath and flies up to Baleruk's eyes, then leans his face forward and turns his head so his right eye is facing Baleruk's left, and he's rather close.

[Anastasia]

The roaring ceases.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Baleruk intones, "What?"

[Nephrite]

"Are you greeting her, or trying to start a fight? You are both guests of mine." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"You do not understand," Baleruk declares back, "This whelp does not understand anything!"

[Nephrite]

"Then come inside and talk to her." Moore says. "See why I brought you here."

[Anastasia]

"Her?" Baleruk asks, "No! Him! This building!" The dragon declares, "It suffers from undue hubris!"

[Nephrite]

"Be that as it may, you can argue with the building after we're done. All right? I give you my full support." Moore says.
