Thread: The Lady is a Man (CLOSED)

RE The Lady is a Man AlexsSketches, shyone The young man looked at his fingers and then on purpose, made them clink together again while he smiled back softly at the other, I will make sure to keep that in mind form now on... princess. Of course as she explianed that the army was indeed not somthing that she found to be of insterst... Andol wasn't really supirsed. It was what he had always found to be so boring of the various princess, of the kingdoms his father wanted to wed him off to, though he wouldn't consider that the main reason... but disapproving of his enjoyment that warfare brought to him, was somthing that indeed annoyed the young man. When he found himself being referred to as a 'warlord' he realized that again another mistake was being made in her impression of him. So he looked her dead in the eye... his almost reptilian and frog like nature of binking so much just made the cold look he gave even worse, Make no mistake Princess Akria, I am indeed a ruthless warlord. I care for the lives of 'my' men... the lives of 'my' dragons, and of 'my' army... and the health of 'my' father's kingdom that supports it. Trust me when I say, had your own fathers army shown egough weakness that I was sure I could win... I would have wiped your kingdom off the map like so many others. Andol's approch to military conquest and politics was quite Machiavellian, So it is fine that you did jump to conclusions princess, they where not completely unfounded... and sinice it seems we might be potentially married in the future. I thought that you might want to be aware of that. That was when the moment came, and it was one indeed that Andol found strange, becuase Shera would have never spoken like that for no reason. Yet the young man was quite sure that there was no way that Akira could be a guy... well at least without checking, but he couldn't do that. Plus the other did seem quite insulted by the accusation. Luckily Andol had been too wrapped up in pondering his dragons words to notice the pause in Akria's comeback. Of course Shera noticed it quite well indeed and the dragon reached out with her foreclaw and suddenly pulled the prince close to her and began to growl at Akira. You... are liar... I smell boy... The little dragon looked at her rider in a desperate manner as she wrapped her wing protectivly around him, Don't trust it.... Andol. Indeed Andol found Shera's desperate nature to be strange, but to him it only proved that it was all probably a mistake. He softly pushed himself out of her hold and the wing that was around him before saying softly, Dearest Akira is a girl, she said so herself. I believe we can trust her, you don't need to worry ok. He was trying to calm his pet down. Of course Akira by this point had made the mistake of directly addressing a creature that was not scared of saying the first thing that came to mind, I know... no dress, but why... princess matter? It was then a look of realization of what his dragon was about to say came across his face, but before he could do anything Shera had said, My rider... he wants a... strong prince... Yet Andol cut her off quickly and said, ss whom is very pretty, yes I know Shera. I have told you many times... He was laughing in a embressed manner as he realized how close she had come to giving him away. The dragon though seemed like she was not going to be swayed as she made a small curious noise... No that... not what you say? You say you want... Again Andol intruppted her, but he was much, much, more firm with his dragon, I said egough Shera. Now please... head back into the barn. I will come out to visit you later. The white dragon just stood there, not moving as she looked bettewen Andol, and Akira... and then back to Andol, before looking over to Akira and saying I... will be... wacthing you. With those words the dragon returned back to her home in the barn as Andol looked back to the princess, I am sorry about that, Akria quite intellegent for a dragon. Almost as smart as a person, though her speech is about that of a ten year old. Of course so is her manners some times, but you can see what I mean form before. Men in the Corps are so desperate to become riders, becuase dragons are very very protective over anyone that they deam to be there 'rider'. Of course Shera is the only that can talk, but that still doesn't make the bonds bettewen other rider and dragon pairs any less. He looked at her for a moment, the prince was very worried, because he knew there was no way she had not picked up on all the hints that Shera had given.
