HF 043 Reuniting lost siblings

[2/10/2017 10:30:01 PM] Josh: You all fly after her, but even at top speed, Kai is not as fast as a dragon.

[2/10/2017 10:32:43 PM] Josh: You all, eventually, arrive back at HQ, where Rune is grabbing lemons.

[2/10/2017 10:33:30 PM] \*\*\* Rune and some other foodstuffs too. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:33:35 PM] Rune: We should get the magic carpet.

[2/10/2017 10:33:49 PM] \*\*\* Quill does that. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:34:39 PM] Josh: Ok, so, long story short, you all arrive at the Undercity, around where you know the little guy's pool is.

[2/10/2017 10:35:54 PM] Josh: Eventually, you find the dragon, and Vaighul, in he dragon form, runs up to him.

[2/10/2017 10:36:10 PM] Josh: "Isthasy!"

[2/10/2017 10:36:29 PM] \*\*\* Rune is very nervous. "... is he your son?" \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:36:51 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "How old you think I am?  He's my nest-mate...brother."

[2/10/2017 10:37:03 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "He was stolen from our nest years past."

[2/10/2017 10:37:19 PM] Rune: I can't tell, I was raised by somebody who didn't age. Wait, he was kidnapped? By who?

[2/10/2017 10:37:29 PM] Quill: All non-elven aging is weird.

[2/10/2017 10:37:38 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "Never saw.  Bad man."

[2/10/2017 10:38:01 PM] Josh: The younger dragon pulls away from her and begins growling.

[2/10/2017 10:38:12 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "Isthasy?  ...does he have name?"

[2/10/2017 10:38:35 PM] Rune: I didn't think he spoke any languages... but maybe he understands Common?

[2/10/2017 10:39:29 PM] \*\*\* Rune offers him the bag of lemons. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:39:35 PM] Quill: We never knew his name, and we never gave him one, it didn't seem right.

[2/10/2017 10:39:55 PM] Josh: He rushes and digs into the bag.

[2/10/2017 10:40:11 PM] Josh: He seems to like the lemons.

[2/10/2017 10:40:21 PM] \*\*\* Rune smiles. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:40:54 PM] Rune: Do you think you can bring him back with you? ... he'd probably have a better life with his real family...

[2/10/2017 10:41:19 PM] Josh: She tries to approach, but once she gets to close, the young dragon starts to snarl at her.

[2/10/2017 10:41:30 PM] Josh: Vaighul looks...very distressed.

[2/10/2017 10:41:51 PM] Rune: Oh, no, what's wrong?

[2/10/2017 10:42:06 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "He does not know me.  He won't trust me."

[2/10/2017 10:42:14 PM] \*\*\* Rune holds out her hands to the younger dragon. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:43:02 PM] Rune: It's not his fault, he just doesn't remember. People in general have been awful to him--look at all his scars and things--he was very afraid of us too when we met him.

[2/10/2017 10:43:27 PM] Josh: He sniffs at them, and licks Rune's hands...dealing 3 points of acid damage.

[2/10/2017 10:43:29 PM] Rune: It'll probably take a while until he's comfortable with us too.

[2/10/2017 10:44:22 PM] \*\*\* Rune 's eyes water a bit, which she tries to ignore, and then takes Vaighul's hand too. "It's all right, she's nice, see?" \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:45:07 PM] Josh: The dragon sniffs both hands.  He doesn't back away, but he doesn't seem pleased.

[2/10/2017 10:45:38 PM] Josh: Vaighul strokes him with her claw and he lets out a satisfied grumble and rolls over onto his back.

[2/10/2017 10:46:00 PM] Rune: There, see?

[2/10/2017 10:46:13 PM] \*\*\* Quill reaches over and heals Rune's hands. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:47:53 PM] \*\*\* Rune smiles at him. 'Thank you. I don't think he knows it hurts." \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:50:10 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "I cannot take him home like this.  He might attack and hurt himself.  But I cannot leave him like this, either."

[2/10/2017 10:50:43 PM] Rune: You can stay with us if you want.

[2/10/2017 10:50:58 PM] Rune: ... we were hoping he'd eventually come up and live with us, too.

[2/10/2017 10:51:19 PM] \*\*\* Hank will head out of the acid cave. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:51:27 PM] \*\*\* Quill nods. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:51:42 PM] Rune: It's not very swampy at the moment, but Anna can change that, she's magic.

[2/10/2017 10:52:03 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "...I shall sleep down here for now, and think on it."

[2/10/2017 10:52:18 PM] \*\*\* Rune nods. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:52:32 PM] \*\*\* Rune tries rubbing his tummy, if he seems interested. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 10:52:55 PM] Rune: He'd probably be best off with his family, though. He doesn't even speak Draconic.

[2/10/2017 10:53:20 PM] Josh: He allows it...but he's not as impressed by your claws.  They don't get through his scales as well.

[2/10/2017 10:54:23 PM] Nilani: I have been meaning to get a water garden going.

[2/10/2017 10:54:41 PM] Rune: Hello, Isthasy. That's a very nice name, what does it mean?

[2/10/2017 10:55:15 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "Uh...closest translation is...nest-mate.  ...sibling."

[2/10/2017 10:55:56 PM] Rune: Oh, that's not his name? It's a title, I see. .... did he have a name?

[2/10/2017 10:56:25 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "I do not know.  He was stolen as an egg.  And our mother was lost when I was a wyrmling."

[2/10/2017 10:56:40 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "He is so small, he must have hatched so much later than I did."

[2/10/2017 10:57:06 PM] Quill: From what we understand, he was brought here and abandoned.

[2/10/2017 10:57:12 PM] Rune: It was probably hard to find food here, too.

[2/10/2017 10:57:43 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "This is horrible."

[2/10/2017 10:58:34 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "...in my tongue, there is a word.  It means, 'one that has been lost'.  Woari."

[2/10/2017 10:58:52 PM] Rune: Well, he's found now, at least.

[2/10/2017 11:00:08 PM] Rune: ... maybe I can buy a little hand-hoe so he can feel it better.

[2/10/2017 11:00:35 PM] Josh: Vaighul: "Try this spot, on his head."

[2/10/2017 11:01:23 PM] \*\*\* Quill sits down on a rock and starts playing a song he usually plays when he'll comes down here. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 11:01:38 PM] \*\*\* Rune does. \*\*\*

[2/10/2017 11:02:15 PM] \*\*\* Rune scratch-scratch-scritches. \*\*\*
