Thread: Dragons and Cats (DinoDroid & Mafdet)

The dragon brushed away her hand and shuffled away from Jazira picking up the notepad on his way out. Neera stared at him and hissed as he passed her, he jumped, triped and stumbled as he quickly left. Neera watched him and the gold dragonling suddenly leapt atop her shoulder. She reached a hand and stroked him under his chin, the action seemed to calm her a bit as she turned back to the shorter dragon. He jumped as though the action startled and started mumbling and rambling about having the clothes taken care of and ready in a few days before he too left. Neera nodded and turned back to Jazira and at the flip of a switch the old grandmotherly persona and air was back as though nothing had happened. Ahh, that was a most unpleasant incident my dear, can't expect everyone to behave. Now how about we go and talk, we can even visit the galley and get something to eat. There shouldn't be too many others there to disturb us, just the change of shift sailors. She reached out to Jazira and gently grabed her hand and draged her towards the galley. The galley was accessed by a set of stairs leading straight to the poop deck, and inside it was packed with long tables and chairs. In the back a grass green dragon with for the first time Jazira saw, a large soft belley standing next to a large cauldron and a large ladle. As Neera had said the galley was mostly vacant save for Dracon and his inner council. They all looked up as they entered, but only Dracon gave a friendly smile and turned back to the others. Neera waved at them all enthusiastically and the other dragons nodded their heads back to her. She pulled Jazira towards the cook and he handed her two bowls of steaming hot stew and a couple of breakfast biscuits. As they walked away the dragonlings following them leapt up onto the hot pot as though it was cool to their touch and started trying to dip their heads into the hot stew. The cook started raping each of them on the head gently with his ladle, but it was obviously a losing battle. Neera stared at them as they set down, but was obviously enjoying the show and wasn't about to end it. I am dreadfully sorry about how Vrax treated you, but he has never learned to let a grudge go. Now I bet what you really want right now is a nice warm shower. Can't help you there my dear, but we should be reaching our port withing the next few days. There you will be able to go for a nice swim, the port waters are usually empty save for our ships, and the waters are quite warm. it is a most enjoyable past time for us, especially for the younglings. Suddenly there was a splash and everyone looked up to see a most distressed cook quite distressed as a blue dragonling pulled himself out of the stew and bolted away to hide behind Neera. The green scaled cook just glowered at the little creature but didn't attempt to go after it. The other dragons just started chuckling and returned to their discussion. Neera stared turned her attention towards the blue dragonling untill it glumly headed towards the cook her rapt it on the head, then returned his attention back towards the others. Neera shifted her attention towards Dracon, got up and shuffled over to him, she grabed him by the back of his neck and pulled him over towards Jazira and sat him down right in front of her before sitting down next to him. Now my dear it's time for us to muck out the stables so to speak, you and he have been having some trouble getting along, and it's time for you all to make up. Jazira, talk to Dracon here, he may be leader of our little tribe, and cunning at times, not to mention emotionally sensitive, but he can also be emotionally stupid, foolish, and stuborn. Talk to him right now, tell him how you feel, and ask any questions you have. It's time for us to all get along, and I may be old but my patience is wearing thin. Dracon has been handling your situation quite foolishly and has yet to truly understand you. So tell him right now, and neither of you are leaving this spot untill everyone is good, you hear me? The last was said with an edge, there would be no give on her part.
