[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(Yeul is standing in the snow, yet it doesn't seem to bother her. She stares at her communicator and then expels a foggy breath.)

This isn't where I wish to introduce myself. (Somewhere warm would be nice.) I seek a man named Noel. Is there anyone here by that name?

(She lays a hand against her chest.)

I am Yeul. (One of them anyway.) The last Yeul who will ever exist.

Comments

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Mm I am. (Yeul hurries back outside and, this time, she gives a shiver.) Are there any other dragons in Autumn?

[nilhilistic]

I wouldn't know. There are a few dragons in this place, but I do not think we are all in the same location.

Stand back a little. I'll need space to transform.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(She moves back a good distance and waits.)

Dragons existed in my world. They're gone now.

[nilhilistic]

That does not surprise me.

[ after all, dragons were all but wiped out in his own world. either way, rafal activates his dragonstone, turning into a dragon. he fans his wings for a moment. ]

You will need to climb on. And hold tight.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(Yeul brightens at the change and approaches him without hesitation or fear. She lays a hand on his leg - she probably can't reach his side - and nods.

Then she starts to climb. She isn't the best, but she is trying!)

You're big.

[nilhilistic]

[ the dragon huffs. ]

Of course.

Are you holding on?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(Yeul lays against his back, hugging onto him.)

Yes. Let's go to the city.

[nilhilistic]

Hm. Let me know if I go too high.

[ he flaps his wings once more before taking off. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I will. (She will likely end up enjoying the trip. Who doesn't like flying on a dragon's back?)

Wow!

[nilhilistic]

[ rafal huffs once more, pleased. the pride of a dragon, his pride for being able to take this form after so long.

they arrive at the outskirts of nightwake. he waits until she climbs down carefully before transforming back to his human form. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(He is a lovely dragon and Yeul slides from his back, smiling giddily. This is why he will be given a flower every time they meet! Would he prefer meat?

The city is big and she observes the people curiously.

But, as always, at a distance.)

[nilhilistic]

[ rafal scoffs. ]

What are you afraid of?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I've lived countless lives, always known as the Seeress. Now I'm just Yeul. I don't know where to begin.

[nilhilistic]

There is no just. One life is plenty.

Start with asking what catches your interest. Let your feelings guide you.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Every Yeul has died young. I would like to experience what it's like to be older.

To be grown and have a house of my own.

[nilhilistic]

A job would help you earn money and you can purchase a house. It will take time but it is feasible.

[ no clue about the last part. he gets the feeling she wasn't human before but she is now. it shouldn't prove too hard to fit in. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I'm not sure what I can do. (Yeuls of the past have been able to sing and dance. Maybe she should start there?) Do people like the arts in this city?

[nilhilistic]

I see no reason why they wouldn't. We had an arts festival not long ago in the Autumn district.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Did you attend it?

[nilhilistic]

. . . I did. It was my first and I found it entertaining and pleasant.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Then I hope you come to see my art when I am prepared.

[nilhilistic]

If you want me to.

For now, let's find you a place to stay first.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I do.

(Why? They are obviously friends. Yeul walks to the apartment building and lets herself in. No knocking this time. Look at her learning~)

I think I want a room on the top floor.

(So she can look for flying dragons.)

[nilhilistic]

[ it's not that obvious to rafal, but he doesn't have much experience or luck in that area. ]

The top floor? I think there are some available. Why?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I want to see dragons. (OBVIOUSLY.)
