The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Iron Dragoon]

*narrows his eyes and arches his back as he moves into a crouch, letting out a deep clicking growl at the sight of the brands*

"You dare?! You who have been marked as enemies of dragons dare to greet me as a friend? I see now why Seira sent me. Enemies of dragons hold one of Her own while claiming war for Liefasa!"

*breathes deep, sudden bright light light begins pouring out of his mouth as he prepares his breath weapon, mentally calling up spells*

Not attacking yet, waiting for Kascha to either seperate from the two or other reactions.

[Anastasia]

"Calm down," Kascha quickly says, coming over to Surraruthru and placing a hand on the dragon's side. "Calm. Calm. They aren't enemies. It's a long story, but they're allies of myself and of Seira. Otherwise, Seira wouldn't have sent you hear to help, right?"

[Ebiris]

Afina just nods reassuringly without doing anything else to provoke the excitable little wyrmling. Kascha surely has it in hand.

[Corwin]

"I dare plenty, so stop talking like a cliche devil," Jaela scoffs. "The fuck you're doing, letting Bahamut do your thinking for you? Don't you got no pride or willpower to look past what he's feeding you? Enemies of dragons? Well, fuck other dragons. What did we ever do to you or Seira that got your saddlebags in a bunch?"

[Iron Dragoon]

*cocks his head slightly so he can look at Kascha and keep still keep an eye on the others.*

"I... suppose. It's possible that they are coercing you as well!" *hops to stand between Kascha and the other two*

"I... will give you a chance to prove your words. But stay back! I'll not allow you to be in striking distance until I am assured! Also your presence is unpleasant." *he says the last with a disdainful sniff as he turns to address Jaela*

"And why should I swallow what you're feeding me? I know nothing of you! What have you done to earn more of my trust and loyalty than our gods? I only know of my contract with Seira."

OOC: I'm doing this at work on my phone, so give me a bit longer than normal to respond.

[Ebiris]

"You're the one that came to our home, remember," Afina points out in what she thinks is a reasonable manner, keeping an easy twenty feet back or so... really there's no getting out of striking distance where she's concerned, but she makes no moves for the blades crossed over the small of her back. "But there's no need to fight - whatever our crimes against dragonkind, the crimes committed by devils against all as fellow Lifasans surely must concern you more?"

[Corwin]

"Oh for fuck's sake, you came here! You! Here!" Jaela exclaims, throwing up her arms. "And on a friendly recommendation, it sounds like!" She rubs at her temples. "I feel a headache coming on, but fine. What do you want? For real."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Tsk. You make a good point... I will... grudgingly... ally with you against them. My main goal is to protect Kascha, however. As for my personal wants... Hmph. We are not friends yet, and that is no business of yours. For now, I am here to fulfil my contract and fight devils."

[Anastasia]

Kascha smiles.

It's a happy thing, ever so innocent and soothing. She pats the faerie dragon's scales, "I know you're a mighty dragon, but trust me when I say that they're good people. I promise. Relax and how about we see about getting you a lair for your hoard?"

[Corwin]

"Don't hurt yourself agreeing to free our homeworld from the devils that fucked it over," Jaela mutters. "Welcome, I guess. Go get settled in?"

[Ebiris]

"Any who would stand with us against Baator's tyranny... however grudgingly or not, is welcome," Afina says. "We'll meet back up in an hour or two before heading out, think that'll be enough time to show your new guardian around, Kascha?"

[Corwin]

"Speaking of, let's grab a snack first? Always a good idea while leaving Aurora for a while."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... a hoard? That would be agreeable. I don't have anything to put away right now, but I would like to have a place... It's also been quite a while since I've eaten in comfort or with others... Very well, I accept. Where are we going after?"

[Ebiris]

"We're going to Elysium to obtain a weapon we can use against Taelfagn," Afina answers. "Where in Lifasa are you from? For that matter what's your name?" she asks, thinking they might bond over shared heritage and hatred for devils.

[Corwin]

"We're heading out to a section of Elysium that burns off the souls of anyone impure," Jaela responds after thinking on her answer for a few moments.
