Underwater Sky

;Cecilia
A soft rain muffled the crowd, grays seeping into their scales as a cool mist rose from the streets. Bodies moved around her like water. Occasionally she would be bumped by a wing or tail, but otherwise no one noticed her. The rain was unnatural, each chilling individual droplet sliding down her wings and crawling under her scales. Right now there was nothing the SeaWing cared about more than getting home. It wasn't the ocean, but it was warm and out of the rain. Hard ground moved under her talons, and buildings towered above. Somewhere in between the occasional dragon would fly past, casting dull shadows on the crowd below. The breaks in the rain only made it more unbearable when it fell upon her again. The grays around her all blurred together, her only means of navigation a semi familiar path and wherever her talons were taking her.
"Ow!"
The dragoness paused as a voice broke the monotonous sound of rain and talonsteps. The rest of the crowd continued to flow around the two dragons, but they stayed still, looking at each other. Someone had seen them, noticed them, and for that single moment, they were completely one hundred percent real.
"Oh, I'm fine, I think you accidentally stepped on my tail. It was probably my fault though, standing in the middle of a busy street."
That took a few moments to process. This dragoness was standing still, out in the rain? She looked closer at this strange dragon. She seemed to vanish into the mist, and she was small, with adorably large ears. She seemed to be a ShiftWing, and pretty cute as well. Her eyes were big and bright, which seemed strange. Weren't ShiftWings blind?
"Um, hello? What's your name? Sorry?"
She realized she was supposed to respond to the ShiftWing. Whoops.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Cecilia. Though I prefer Ceil..."
The ShiftWing's face lit up. Was it something Ceil said?
"Oh! That's a pretty name. Mine is Ruya. I don't... go by anything else."
Ceil flashed a smile at Ruya. This dragon was completely real right now, she even had a name.
"Hey, that's cool. Ruya's a pretty sweet name too."
Ruya frowned at her. A flare of panic went through Ceil. Had she said something wrong? What if Ruya left? Neither of them would exist again. Existing was nice, Ceil had decided, and she didn't want to stop so soon.
"Are you, cold? My place is just over there, if you want to get out of the rain."
Oh! Ruya was just concerned for Ceil. Her smile grew, existing was very nice. She moved towards the ShiftWing, offering her own wing to the other dragoness.
"Oh, thanks. Let's get out of this weather."
The two of them walked through the crowd, together, noticed, existing.
Ruya
