Surraruthru in the Cauldron (Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

Pasting Surraruthru's last reply in the previous thread, since Kascha's answering here.

Surraruthru watches the proceedings silently after returning Lady Sanzha's gaze steadily.

"Kascha, what is this place? It seems... Out of place. In a volcano."

As Afina goes, Kascha turns and smiles. "It's Seira's palace. She can be quite whimsical when the mood strikes her. She's very good at combining unrelated things together."

Mei puts aside Afina's gear, save for her hat. She studies it for a little bit before putting it atop the rest of her gear.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru eyes the area, now unsure of the mental stability of the Dragon Goddess...

[Anastasia]

"Oh come now," Almost as if she is reading your thoughts, Kascha frowns, "Shouldn't a fairy dragon have a sense of fairy tales? What child didn't want a fairytale house like this?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Eyes Kascha in the same way.

"Fairy, yes. Also *dragon.* Child, only by dragon standards. Besides, you're forgetting that fairy dragons live in the forests and in nests built from spider webs and flowers. Not... Sugar."

[Anastasia]

Mei considers at that, going to one of the candy cane fire grates. She runs her finger along it and licks, before making an mmmmm sound.

"Oh yes, it's actual candy. Magically preserved and hardened so it won't decay. But please don't eat any of it, it's bad manners." Kascha laughs a little, before turning back to Surraruthru. "Seira can be quiet whimsical when she wants to be. Besides, she can make it out of whatever she wishes and change it when she wants. If she desired, she could turn everything here to stone or wood in an instant. So it hardly matters."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I think she likes toying with her visitors. Are we waiting for Afina to return before seeing Seira?"

[Anastasia]

"No, someone should be here shortly." Kascha goes and pours herself a glass of ice water, "Want some?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru sniffs the water before taking a drink.

"Thank you."

He then settles in to wait, inspecting the area for anything hidden or interesting.

[Anastasia]

Spot check for that.

You don't wait long. Soon enough someone joins you. She is an elf, slight of frame and wearing beautiful chain mail armor. Her blonde hair is long and straight. She has a presence about her that is overwhelming, such that you can barely notice things about her - like she wears a quiver of arrows on her back and walks with a steady, assured step.

"Lady Amaryl," Kascha rises, "This is Mei of the Triune and this is Surraruthru. Mei and Surraruthru, this is Amaryl Gaial, Seira's wife."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru raises an eyebrow at the wife portion, but then figures a Dragon Goddess' mate is her choice. Though, this does bode well for the gift he brought...

"Greetings, Lady Gaial." He inclines his head to the elf.

[Anastasia]

It seems like a normal room to Surraruthru. Well, 'normal', anyway. Nothing's hidden that he can notice.

"Surraruthru." Amaryl greets warmly, "Seira told me you're watching out for Kascha now? Good, Kascha needs protecting."

This gets Kascha to blush quite deeply, "But - I..." she tries, but nothing coherent follows.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru grunts at this.

"Indeed. I assume you know about the poisoning? Troublesome. I may be a wyrmling, but at least I don't get myself into trouble."

Surraruthru shifts in disgruntlement at that.

"In any case, since we're speaking of children anyway, I have a gift for Seira's household. As you are her mate, I shall give it to you."

He reaches into his haversack and pulls out the Dragon's Egg, then takes to the air to hover at eye level with Amaryl.

"I give your household this Dragon's Egg. Magic and powers of a Goddess aside, may it be your house's first clutch and grow strong, proud, and wise. May it dominate all it surveys. If so, keep it away from my grove and lair."

With that and a small nod, he presents it to Amaryl.

[Anastasia]

"Oh!" Amaryl murmurs, staring deeply at the egg. She reaches out and takes it, "What a thing. Thank you." She brings the egg up and kisses it, murmuring words in draconic, "Sleep, little one. Your potential will soon be realized."

Amaryl sits, the egg held like a baby in her arms. "Seira tells me that you come seeking a quest?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"She has a task, I have a goal. Once the task is performed, my goal may be realized."

[Anastasia]

"That's such a cold way of looking at it," Kascha murmurs, "The journey's just as important as the goal, if not more."

Amaryl nods ever so slightly, "She does. Before that, I'd like to know why you want this goal."
