[Open/In Person]

[This is not Thairos. For one thing, it's raining. She practically had to fight to get the normal storms to come to Thairos. For another, she woke up in what seems to be an inn that is far more opulent than even her famous teacher would stay at. Also, the lighting here is exceedingly odd.]

[There's very little chance she could have gotten kidnapped (and to what end, especially if she's unbound and has nobody watching her. So Tris is going to go out and see if she can't find the lay of this strange city. This starts with her keeping the rain off of her and walking out of the hotel. She is On A Mission To Explore This Place, and she is Not Happy about it.]

[Congrats, Paris, you now have one grumpy, confused, red-headed weather witch standing under what appears to be an invisible glass dome that sheds the rain, and she's stalking your streets like she's mad at you! Which she kind of is.]

[Shaking off the water under an awning is a very wet dragon. It was fine since she didn't have fur but the water was a bit cold which made her a little lazy. She looks up and smells magic which causes her to blink and tilt her head slightly. Her ears are back which depicted a bit of caution but her body suggests curiosity.]

[That's wet! That's also an-- an--

oh my goodness. Congrats, Toothless, you got the Angry Mage to stop being quite so angry! She's staring at you a little, though.]

Are you trying to get dry? [It really doesn't take Tris much effort at all to expand her 'umbrella' to cover Toothless and the distance between them, and that's exactly what she's going to do.]

[She looks up and blinks, wondering how the water stopped hitting her but she's happy to be out of the cold water. She lumbers forward, sniffing and blinking then gives a yawn. Cold and reptiles never went hand in hand. What made matters worse was her inability to fly since one of her fins has been torn off from a failed capture that would have been successful.

She purrs and gives a slight nuzzle in gratitude.]

[...Oh goodness. Toothless, you just made Tris's heart melt a little. She's going to pet at you.] Your skin's all scales... are you like a snake or a lizard, then?

[And wandering the streets, having been vaguely smart enough to find a white umbrella, is one teenage "boy" who's finally taking the time from being spazzy to ...]

[Well, if he can't do anything constructive, then there's no use freaking out, is there? So he's been shopping, and is munching on a pastry with a couple large bags, some of which is "things he's stashing and hoping he can take back for Mina".]

[That earned a bit of a narrow eyed expression. The very proud dragon spreads her wings a bit and in the dark and low light, they were folded and hard to see. She snorts indignantly.]

Brrrrrammmf.

[Shaking her head and her upper lip on one side curled up as if she ate something gross.]

[Soma, you're doing bad things to her vision the minute you come anywhere near her field of vision. She can't really help that startled yell in "useful" Tradertalk, which will go untranslated for the sake of the illusion that Tris Does Not Swear. She is going to yank off her glasses and put them somewhere safe and put her hands over her eyes.]

My head...

Obviously you're better than a lizard or a snake, but your skin's scaled like theirs. [You're smarter than Chime. Color Tris impressed!]

[Soma looks up over his pastry, blinking in confusion and Utter Innocence.]

Mnrfhrbh? [it takes him a second to juggle the pastry out of his mouth.] You OK?

[And proudly she gives a nod to her head with a chirp and a trilling purr. Her eyes look up then back at Tris. She's curious about how the rain stopped.]

[Tris can't see you.] I've seen better days. [She sounds very very grouchy, and her hair is sparking a little.]

Do you want to go where it's warmer? I don't think the cold will do good things for you. [You sort of have to ask if you want to know how the rain stopped, Toothless.]

Uhh. Do you need any help? Is something wrong? [Well, you aren't doing any snarling or being overly hostile yet, so!]

You can help by standing where I can't see you. There's something odd about you and it's hurting my eyes. [Politeness under stress: this is not one of her strong suits. She's grabbing for her glasses, though.]

[She nods her head and perks up her ears. Being warmer was much better than being stuck outside in the rain and asking was a bit out of her range. She'll have to figure out how later on.]

[Oh. There's more like the usual. Mostly. Enough to get a grumpy-Soma.]

Right. Sorry for existing, I can't really turn it off. At least there's no pitchforks and torches this time. [Which were usually metaphorical, at least, not counting the less friendly parts of town.]

...Wait, you can see that?

[Yep! The hotel from earlier certainly has a big enough lobby for you to walk around in comfortably.] Here, I know a place that's warmer than this- and out of the rain. You're much larger and smarter than the other dragon I know. She's made out of glass. [Yes, Tris is going to talk at you.] I'm a mage, and I have a student with glass magic. His magic got away from him and he created Chime on accident.

Sorry for not being able to help what I see. [That's... a very fat spark crawling around her hair. DEEP breath.] Could you please move so I can open my eyes without feeling like I've stuck red-hot knives through them? [She says 'could you please' like it makes her teeth hurt.]

[There is a VERY grumpy sigh, and he finds a place behind a bus-stop's sign-covered wall to stand.]

There, does that work?

[Opening her eyes cautiously.] Yes, thank you. [Bah, being nearsighted. She's going to adjust the spell that dampens her magical sight on her glasses till the 'volume' is basically one notch off of mute, then put them back on.] There. That should fix it.

[She blinks and listens, curling her tail around her feet. Her head made a slight dip, wondering if that statue was on her person. Her eyes glance from the bag to the mage, repeating this motion a few times.]

[...Tris is going to tilt her head a little.] Chime's not with me at the moment. Neither is my dog, for that matter. You're the only dragon I've seen other than Chime, you know that? [Tris is going to... go to set a hand on your shoulder.] Come on, I can take you somewhere warmer.

[She nods her head and moves slowly. The hand was warm and she liked how it felt on her cold scales even if her skin was thick, she still felt it. The inside of the hotel looked very dry and inviting.

She was never allowed in such places before because people feared her, being young meant not really know much better. The wilds taught her more than she wanted.

She stopped to look at the door and back at Tris with a tilt of her head as if to ask if it's okay for her to be there.]

It's okay to come in. If anyone complains, they'll have to deal with me. [And even if they do possess the ability to kidnap her, she can flay people alive with her tongue alone. And she will.]

[Soma sighed, less grumpily.] Does this mean I can come out now?
