Storms and Mountains [Nelthy]

First topic message reminder :

The sun had just passed its zenith, when Àlamei got to the western border of the Twilight Imperium. She had already spotted the Guard she was supposed to relieve sitting on the perch they had agreed upon as a meeting point. The tree line here was spotty, giving them enough view into the forest to spot any advance. Of course they were supposed to patrol the woods, but when waiting for their replacement, they always came out to the higher and more open plains.
Mei extended her wings to their full span to slow her descent before landing next to the other dragon, the stones crunching beneath her talons as she held onto the ledge.
"You're late." the other Firewing said, briefly looking at her with a little bit of annoyance in his eyes.
"Just because I'm not early, doesn't instantly mean I'm late. You're just grumpy because you had to take the morning shift." she nudged the bigger dragon with her shoulder, provoking a relenting but annoyed rumble from him. They knew each other, had served on many a mission together and they both knew he wasn't actually mad at her and that she was indeed correct in her accusation. "How's it been?" she asked joining him in looking down at the forest, her eyes scanning the tree tops for any unusual behavior or smoke, but everything seemed quiet and almost peaceful.
"Calm. Didn't spot nothin'. A couple smaller animals, one stag even, but no Monsters, Humans or Rogues whatsoever. Almost boring." Àlamei nodded. They had gotten information about a larger Monster settling down in this area and reinforced patrols here, but so far they hadn't spotted anything. Not even tracks. They would continue their search for a while, but so far it seemed like the info had just been a rumour after all.
The leathery skin of her wings rustled as she adjusted her position on the perch. "Anywhere you haven't been much today?" she continued her questions.
"Western side. Did mostly air patrol over there and didn't see anything, but haven't really been there on foot. Overlaps so much with the other posts, so I thought I'd leave it to you." The dragoness rolled her eyes at his laziness but nodded.
"Alright. I got it from here. Heard they found some new fishing spots, might wanna check that out." The dragon next to her instantly turned towards the dragoness, exhaling sharply. "You're saying that NOW. Should've started with that! Good luck not dying of boredom." And then he left. Mei waited until the sound of his wings flapping in the air was gone, before pushing off the ledge and climbing into the sky herself.

She flew a wide circle over the woods, arching back towards the much neglected western side and slowly set down to landing in a clearing between tall oak trees. A few rabbits fled the spot when they saw her shadow, but other than that the forest seemed undisturbed by her or any other presence.

The dragoness began to smile at his wish to get 'full payback'. For one, she took that as a win for herself and him admitting his defeat earlier in the water. She also just generally enjoyed the prospect of having someone to play such games with. The large Earthwing already seemed to be a worthy opponent and if he stayed this oblivious there were many opportunities for her to raise her score just so he would never actually reach his full payback. She could already see the wheels in his head turning, most likely thinking about how he could win some more points.
It was a harmless game, but sometimes those were the best alternative to actual fights, when one wanted to have some fun and excitement in his life. Well, games or flirting really. Two in one was a rare delight, all the more reason to enjoy this Earthwing for a little while longer.

Her eyes were fixed on the giant dragon telling his escape story. She shuddered for a second at the mental image that arose with his story of that worm monster. It truly sounded terrifying and destructive. No wonder Neltharion was not quite in his right mind after having gone through something like that, especially if it really had been longer than two years. Her eyes widened in a bit of an arrogant surprise when he mentioned the Starlight healer, that had apaprently patched him up. If he had truly travelled all the way from Starlight territory to the Imperium it was no surprise, that he had been tired when arriving on the clearing this morning, but what was much more surprising was the Starlight Healer taking the time to fully patch him up.

"A Starlight patched you up?" she asked surprised, scoffing slightly at the amusing thought. "Must have taken her weeks or an army to fully get around a big plump like you." she lifted one side of her maw to a slight smile at the thought, but quickly let it fade again. "Looks like she did a good job, though." Àlamei had to give the healer that. Many of the Starlights were known for the formidable healers and apothecaries, so it wasn't a huge surprise, but a giant like Neltharion must have been a challenge.

Neltharion listened to her for a moment before responding again. "Nope, just her and I believe there may have been a couple visitors as well and she is bigger than you'd expect. Still small but just a tiny bit smaller than you." The dragon said with a slight smile, wondering if the dragoness got the hidden meaning behind that sentence. "Well, you can patch me up whenever it is needed as well, pretty sure guardians know what they are doing." Neltharion exclaimed in the mose casual amongst the most casual of tones. For him it was just natural to ask after all. Though other people might take it another way.

The large dragon decided to keep lying next to the fire and soak in the comfortable heat. Anyone with firewing heritage obviously adores the heat, no matter where it comes from. He even started to open his wings slightly to catch more of the warmth of the fire. "I wonder how we can make it more comfortable in here..." He asked, though it didn't seem that the question was fully directed at the dragoness, but a bit towards himself as well. He is of course an individual that loves comfort and being lazy from time to time. He turned his gaze towards the dragoness and proceeds to ask a question. "So, any ideas from my favorite guardian so far?" Although he called her his favorite guardian, it was more meant in a joking matter, since she was the only one he met since his return.

Àlamei scoffed, bedding her head upon her paws while watching the Earthwing with keen eyes. He had taken up a place closer to her after pacing around the fire for a while, but was still looking a little more tense than relaxed. "It must be the perspective, since the tallest LightWing is quite a bit smaller than me. But from way up there, everyone must seem tiny." She was already smaller than most of her Firewing kin, but that was due to her mixed blood and did come with a few perks. Being able to fly faster than most other dragons was quite the advantage. The dragoness chuckled for a second, slowly closing her eyes and drifting back into relaxation. "I could try, but it'd probably be safer if I got you to a healer in time." She was trained in field medicine and could patch up and bandage wounds, but only to the extend of prolonging a life until they could get to an actual healer. Better leave such things to an actual professional.

They sat in silence for a while, both calming down and relaxing next to the comfortable heat of the fire, until the Earthwing raised his voice again, saying something that elicited another smile from the dragoness, who hadn't yet opened her eyes. If it weren't for his tone of voice, she could have confused this question for a rather blunt try at seduction. Quietly she was thinking about how to handle this situation. Should she let the opportunity of messing with him pass by or should she take it and get her score up quite a bit more.
Well, who was she fooling here? Of course she would do the latter.

When the larger dragon directed his question at her, she opened her eyes to look at him, not moving much else. "You could come over, a bit closer." she suggested, waiting if he did as she suggested.

The large dragon opened one his eyes and gazed at the dragoness for a moment, not even raising his head from the flat plateau. At the moment he was thinking what kind of idea she would've come up with. "Seems like you have an idea." He stated, but did not immediatly move closer. He was still considering the pros and cons. On hand, he could possibly get his score up if he could think up a plan. However Neltharion already knows it is most profitable to fight an opponent on your own terms and not theirs...But, beating someone at their own game is one of the best feelings there is around. On the other hand he doesn't know this dragoness well enough and thus can't fully predict what she might and might not do to him. After racking his brain for a bit he decided...to do as she said. Perhaps it could be a learning oppurunity as well.

The large dragon stood up slight and moved close to the dragoness who was enjoying herself next to the fire it seems. He sat down again, enjoying the heat of the flame once more. Atleast the heat here was more comfortable than the heat in Hell, or even the cold in Hell. You never quite know what to expect in that place. "So, what is your grand idea?" The large dragon inquired curiously. This did not mean there was no caution as well. Since he knows from experience that this dragoness before him could be quite devious as well. Even to cunning individual such as himself. So he sat down next to the fire, awaiting Àlamei's next move. Perhaps it was a valid suggestion...more likely one of her games he couldn't quite figure out yet, no matter how hard he thought.

Surprisingly, after watching him mull over her suggestion for a while, he did as she said. A smile cracked her lips, almost triumphantly. It was rather obvious that he was already trying to outsmart her, thinking about what her angle might be here to use it against her. She knew that look well, often times succumbing to it as well. After all, what better win was their, than a win at the enemies own game? It seemed like they agreed on that, so she had to be careful.

Currently she thought herself rather safe, since the Earthwing still seemed to have no clue what she was actually doing, but that didn't mean he could still try some prank on her. So she watched herself and him, staying ready to spring into action if the need arose. So far it seemed like she was holding the upper hand though. Àlamei just kept smiling, closing her eyes again after judging the distance between them, deeming it too big.
"Closer." she beckoned. It could have been demanding, or even an order, but she kept her tone calm and relaxed, not even seductive at this point. However, she wasn't answering his question either.

The first thought that arose in his mind was 'suspicious'. Guess this atleast confirms her devious plan and so far all that needed to happen was the he needed to be closer. Standing up once again and just moving right beside the dragoness "This close enough for you now?" He asked Àlamei as he sat down again getting comfortable once again...for like the third time. He gazed at the dragoness with his one red eye while putting his head on the ground to relax again. If she was planning something, this was the moment to do so. Perhaps she was more perspective than he thought and might be anticipating his moves as well. The normal response to this would be thinking a couple steps ahead, but right now...He had no idea how he would even accomplish such a task. He requires more information to predict her moves and to make plans around those. For now he decided to learn as much as he can. For the next time, he would be ready perfectly.

She felt the vibration, when he stepped even closer, settling down right next to her and cracked a single sparkling eye to look at the almost annoyed face he was making. She chuckled briefly, adjusting her position so their scales were touching. He was so close now that she could feel the soft heat pulsing off his skin and into hers. If she were a dragon for close bonds and relationships this might have been quite nice. Right now she was more concerned with what he was thinking though.
The hybrid dragoness felt his gaze on her and met it, after moving her neck to be able to look at him properly, her maw displaying a satisfied smile.
"Quite so." she replied, musing over what to do next for a second. Surely, he had no clue what was happening, but that didn't mean she had to stop already. It was just getting exciting.
"Spread your wings." She said rolling over slightly, to lay on her side and expose parts of her plated underbelly. The display of her vulnerable parts would definitely get him thinking on what she was trying to do here. Maybe he was even doubting her confidence is such a tense situation. After all, how could one expose their underbelly in a battle?!
The thought, together with the voice in her head being using quite the dramatic tone, made her chuckle anew, gazing over the larger lizard with a curious look.

With curiosity in his eye, he kept on watching the dragoness as she just moved herself agaisnt his side and to him, it seems that Àlamei is using him for some extra warmth. She even gave a satisfied smile when he did what she asked. Then she proceeded to ask to spread his wings, he didn't know for what reason she could've asked that. Not one single answer came to mind at the moment but, for now he just did so as she asked to learn more about the thought processes of the dragoness right next to him, which seems to be enjoying herself. A bit of confusion entered his mind once again as she exposed her underbelly to him. Of course being the genius that he is, he immediatly realized it was but a mere trap, designed to question everything even more. Of course that must be it. No other solution could possibly even come close. "Seems like you had thought something up, but I can see right through your every move." The large lizard called Nelthy exclaimed with total confidence, believing he atleast saw one step ahead of her.

She felt his wing spread across her, covering her completely with ease. He did have a huge wingspan. Something she hadn't noticed this presently before, but she guessed it was just normal for a dragon his size to have large wings too. Either way, she saw the confusion in his eyes, which added to the ever growing satisfaction inside of her and actually led her to lifting up a paw and gently tracing the shapes of his scales with one of her talons, careful not to put enough pressure on it to even sting him a little bit. To a normal thinking dragon a situation like this would have seemed very intimate. Mei doubted that Neltharion saw it in a similar fashion.

She laughed at the confidence and pride he showed when boasting about finally having seen through her. She tried to control herself, calming down for a second, but as soon as she looked at his completely serious face, she started laughing again. She wasn't truly laughing about him, it was just very amusing to her that he thought to have finally cracked her attack plan, when there was none. Finally she calmed down enough to take a deep breath and look into his eyes again, trying real hard to not succumb to laughing again.
"Oh really?" she asked curiously, still chuckling from time to time, her paw lying still on his scales, as she was preoccupied with keeping a straight face and had no time to focus on much else. "Please, do tell me what I had planned."

Neltharion kept his head high..figuratively, since he was still just laying down on the ground enjoing the burning wood before him, keeping his eyes on the flame for a moment. At that moment he felt Àlamei inspect his scales once again, perhaps she was looking for some scars. With a closer look she might be able to find some. Some could really wonder how a dragon would not see the implication of everything that has happened so far, but it seems Neltharion is one of a kind. At most the large dragon would just be confused at signs like the ones given by Àlamei. He also had no clue a dragoness might be so into trying to toy with him, guess everyone has their own preferences.

Listenening to the dragoness at his side for a moment, he could only answer in one way...With a confident attitude. "It's quite elementary my dear Àlamei, It's obvious that everything is just a decoy and it's all because of your hybrid lineage. Since you do not possess the pureblood quality of resisting cold, that you need extra warmth. Of course a large being such as myself produces enough heat." And thus ended his conclusion, he may have referenced a popular line he read in some book long long ago...but, he wouldn't remember it in the slightest. It just came naturally. Next to the fire he just smiled confidently, feeling he cracked the case...Was that another reference? Who knows.

Her lineage? Well, this was going to be interesting. The dragoness calmed down for a second to listen to his rather scientific explanation, the smile replaced by a look of innocent curiosity but soon replaced by an amused smile again. She had to give him credit for some of it at least. If they were still regarding his intention of making things more comfortable, quite literally speaking, he was right. The added heat radiating off his body and the insulation given by his wings surely made it more comfortable for her, but they were far from innocent comfort by now. At least in the eyes of every normal dragon, apparently not in the eyes of one Neltharion. Casually she summoned the elctricity in herself, little sparks cursing around the rims of her maw briefly after. A silent and small comment on what she thought of his explanation based on her mixed lineage.
She let the lightning go, taking on a much more pondering look as she crept a little closer to him, close enough that it would have been unseemly in most other surroundings, but she truly didn't care for that. Not now and rarely at any other occasion.
"Tell me," she whispered seductively into the small room of air between them, half closing her eyes to a lustruous look. She was playing some of her most convincing cards, curious to see what effect they had on the large Earthwing. "Do you truly see no other implication in my actions?"

Neltharion closed his eyes for a while thinking of any other explenation for what she could mean. If there was some other reason for everything...what could it be? The large dragon first thought of combat advantages of course, since he is most used to that. Cause of a certain place some refer to as Hell. He already figured out the physical needs of the dragoness, so there really was no reason to delve into that at all. So, by process of elimination...The only solution left would be a mental one and the of course the only reason that one would do this is..."Socializing?" That, is the final answer Neltharion could come up with. Everything checked out so far in his mind. It's quite obvious one would enjoy the warmth of another dragon. Even he is slightly enjoying it right now, he wouldn't say so out loud but, it is the truth. However she did have the advantage of having a wing as a blanket as well. So for the moment he decided to just relax, being contend with the answer he has given. Dropping his tail in the water and swaying it from side to side slightly.

He took another look at the Dragoness and did see the look from earlier in the hot spring. Since he had seen that look before, he wouldn't get quite so unnerved again. Just a tiny inkling of doubt did come up however, very unnoticable, yet it was still there. As long as nothing did escelate, it would remain that way, otherwise that seedling of doubt might grow to be something slightly more.

That truly sent her over the edge. Dear Gods up above and whatever other beings there may or may not be out there, was this dragon truly this oblivious or was he just toying with her? For a stunned second she looked at him, completely baffled by this innocent answer, but when she saw that he seemed to be serious, she succumbed to the laughter building up inside her belly. Neltharion was completely serious.

Socializing?! Like this?! It really had been a while since he had been in normal competent, she couldn't explain his behaviour any other way. Oh how marvellous. She, one of the dragonesses seldom shot down by anyone when she decided to play her advances, completely failed on a hermit earthwing, because he had less clues than a juvenile. No one would ever believe her this story. No one!
The dragoness was on her back by now, her belly hurting from all the laughing she was doing, until she finally managed to regain some measure of composure and rolled back onto her side, shaking her head in disbelieve. "I have truly never met anyone so completely oblivious to what I'm doing." she said more to herself than him, still shaking her head, but being a whole lot calmer now. She looked at the flames, giving herself a second to fully compose herself, before looking at the Earthwing again. "I suppose you've never been amazing with females." A friendly jab, devoid of all the flirting and seduction she had displayed moments ago.
Socialising. Truly marvellous.

The large dragon tilts his head at the dragoness as she bursts into laughter. Was the answer he gave her that funny? In his mind he thought that it was just a normal answer given to her question. Did he miss something perhaps? He really had no clue. "What is so funny?" He intitially asked as he truly head no clue on what was going on. Then she said something else to him. What!? Oblivious? Impossible, how could he be oblivious when he looked through every scenario possible inside his head. This is just madness... "Absurd, to what could I possibly be oblivious?" He said with cinfidence as he was certain that he couldn't be that oblivious as the dragoness claims. "And what do you mean with 'never been amazing with females' Most dragons I know after Hell are female." He said afterwards. He decided to just lay his head back down onto the ground and scoff a bit.

Mei had a hard time staying calm, his questions pretty much begging for another round of laughter from her, but she tried her best and kept to just a small outburst, composing herself rather quickly afterwards and taking a few deep breaths to make sure she wouldn't have to interrupt her answers because she had to laugh again. Oh, this was glorious. Poor Neltharion, completely oblivious to what she was doing. He probably wouldn't realize that she was flirting with him if she wrote it in big red letters on her forehead.
"To this? To us!" she laughed pointing between the two of them, but just shaking her head again, knowing he wouldn't understand again. "Oh, Neltharion. It has been quite a while since someone has gotten me to laugh this much." She usually tended to be more serious, but today that just wasn't possible. She should probably be offended by all of this, but she just couldn't bring herself to feel anything other than giant amusement. This situation was just so comical to her, especially since he still didn't understand what she was saying.
"I dare to guess, that these two dragons are both female because they happened to be a Starlight healer and myself. You probably haven't met anyone else, either and if you've acted even remotely like this with the Starlight, I assure you, you were nowhere near amazing." She just chuckled at his slightly offended huff, proceding to laugh to herself next to him and shaking her head.

Neltharion took to thinking once again and perhaps this time...he could get an answer...it would be wrong most likely, but what do you expect? SO after a moment of deep thought, he came to another answer. "Hmm, us you say....So you're saying that..." Just for a moment there might be a little hope that he finally got it but then.."Are becoming friends?" And just like that, all hope was lost. Scattered to the wind...To be never found again. One could truly give Nelthy the title of most oblivious when it comes to romance and no one would beat him. No dragon possible could reach his level.

So for now what he did...Was pull his tail out of the water and put it right above her head, letting the water drop onto her head. "Have some water.." He said to the dragoness, hoping to move from this subject a bit...If that wasn't enough, more water was needed and he had enough nearby to mess with the dragoness before him.

She perked up a bit, as he was seemingly starting to finally get what she was doing, until he wasn't. Àlamei sighed a very dramatic sigh, letting her head fall into her paws like he had just taken all hope from her and shook her head. A muffled chuckle arising from between her claws. "Not what I meant." she said almost exasperated. Mei had to think about his question though. She wasn't really the dragon to have many friends, or even call other dragons that. Even the ones that called her a friend were seldom the same to her. But she never lied to them, didn't really confirm her friendship with anyone but a small circle of dragons she could trust. Others might call her a friend, but Mei didn't call them that. She usually reverted to colleagues or comrades.
"I'm not quick to make friends." She replied truthfully not willing to lie to him either. Time would tell if a friendship would rise from this meeting or not. At least she was sure, that he wasn't awful to be around, so she wasn't completely against another meeting.

Apparently he was done being jabbed at by her, resorting to annoying her with water again. Mei hissed and huddled further beneath his wing, hiding from the warm water. "Unfair." she grumbled, putting her legs beneath her again and pushing with her full weight against him in one, sudden attack, throwing him backwards into the water as revenge. Triumphantly she stood at the edge of the platform looking down at the large Earthwing. "No one just makes me wet." she lectured him from her dry ground.

He watched the dragoness gain jut that tiny bit of hope...which vanished soon after he gave her his answer. Seems like that wasn't it, perhaps it was something that you didn't learn from a book. Just when he thought that was the end of it all, the dragoness retreated back further before pushing him off his bloody platform. Putting his head above water and shooting out a stream of water at the dragoness. He just stared at her with an annoyed look that slowly contorted to once of pure evil...well, just smug and confidence. It seems she has forgotten who could manioulate earth here and with a quick tap on the bottom of the spring, he made the platform quickly down into the water...Yet the fire was on its on pillar. It seems the fire was more important here than both Neltharion and Àlamei. "Take that, you heathen" He said more jokingly than an actual insult, as she dropped into the water right next to him.

She suddelny plummeted into the water, together with the platform. She had just enough time to take a breath before going under, quickly coming back up to growl at the Earthwing and splashing a wave of water at him with her wing. More a gesture of defiance than true revenge. "You!" she growled, pouncing on him from beneath the surface like an overenergetic hatchling, toppling them both to the ground but coming back up a little bit faster than the Earthwing, matching the smug smile he had had on his face just a few seconds ago. "And I'm supposed to be the heathen." She scoffed as his large head broke the surface again and she got ready for a counter attack. She felt an excitement grow in her stomach, much like that she had gotten during playfights in her early childhood. Before her brothers had started abusing and hurting her. She had always had a knack for fighting dragons larger than her.

There was only one way to react to a transgression such as this one, this truly was a capital offense. In retaliation to being both splashed and toppled over in the water. With his wings spread out he resurfaced from the water, creating a giant wave in her direction...That wasn’t the end however, the moment that the first wave passed he uses his Earth Manipulation to raise a bit of rock up and down behind the dragoness, creating another wave which moves towards the dragoness. In the meanwhile he would just smile smugly at her. With absolute confidence. “Have fun~” Is all he said, while incoming doom was coming her way unknowingly.

The dragoness saw the giant wave coming towards her and scuttled back just to be met by a second wave from behind, that toppled her, sending her to the ground again. The only good thing about this being that she wasn't hit by that first giant wave. Still, she was wet and underwater and slightly hurt in her pride at not having seen this coming. Especially his smug tone stung a little bit, but she wouldn't want him seeing that. Àlamei rose out of the water, when the coast was clear so to speak. Flapping her wings and rising into the air instead of staying inside the water and launching a new attack. She hovered above the surface, looking reproachful at the wet Earthwing. "That was quite unfair, I would say." She complained, dripping water on his face from up above. She sorely wished for one of those wind abilities the skywings often times had, to send an equally giant wave his way, but she hadn't been blessed with one of those, her lightning being of no use if she didn't want to fry him alive. Which she didnt, just to be clear.
"Will you at least raise the platform again?" she asked looking at the single pillar with the camp fire. Surely, she just needed some time to think of a revenge plan, but it would be glorious! For now she was growing tired of splashing around in the lake, maybe because of all that water.

For a moment, Neltharion could possibly mistaken for a devil. He has horns, red glowing eyes and just the air of pure evil while..splashing someone with water. If he was a real devil, devils in all the Hells would probably not even see him as one but, considering the situation, he was pretty devilish. Taking a moment to become more like his usual self, he just nodded towards Àlamei who was flying in the air and decided to raise a platform above the water again and taking a bit more time to create some steps for himself, just to make it easier for him to get on. With a confident air he climbed the steps and took his position next to the fire again. Of course the fact that he earned a point wouldn't escape him, but he'll remind her later. He once again opened his wing up, inviting the dragoness to her earlier position. "Just so you know, in war..there is no such thing as unfair." He quickly stated at the end as he was comfortable on the ground waiting for the dragoness.

The dragoness grumbled as she landed on the newly erected platform, shaking off all the water still dripping from her scales from his vicious attack on her. She growled at him, as he started lecturing her on what was fair in war. Reflexively she almost ended the proverb with something about love, but that might have led him to the wrong conclusions, so she swallowed the comment and proceded to pace around the fire. Even though he opened up his wings to her again, she took her time taking up the place at his side again. A little bit of pouty defiance from her side, but she laid back down next to him, swatting him with her tail for the comment.
For a dragon that didn't understand flirting, he was surely enjoying the proximity between them. She mused about whether she should comment on that, but decided not to. Just let him enjoy it for the moment and enjoy the added heat herself.
"Now I'm cold again." she complained as she laid down next to him, throwing a accusatory stare at him. From far away she could hear the storm rage outside the cave, the sound of the howling wind was almost mesmerizing, leading her to stretch out for a second, getting more comfortable. A little bit of fatigue tugged at her.

Neltharion kept watching the dragoness, being amused at her pouty behaviour and with a satisfied look plastered on his face he is enjoying the sweet feeling of victory. Neltharion waits with closing his wing, first he let’s the dragoness nestle in comfortably. The combination of having a wing blanket, the heat from a dragon and a campfire must be very comfortable. Too bad he was too big to ever feel that combination. Atleast he can give it to others though. Merely chuckling as she swat him with her tail, it wasn’t a big deal after all. Just letting off some steam for losing. “You’ll warm up quickly.” Is all he said to her, thinking it wasn’t much of an issue at the moment. Neltharion did begin to feel a bit tired though, with everything that has transpired today. “Perhaps, we should just sleep so the storm passes faster,” He suggested to the Firewing female. Totally not giving another reason cause he wanted to hide that this was all tiring for him as well.

Àlamei smiled a tired smile, when he suggested to catch some sleep. "Wore you down, have I?" she jabbed, but had to admit that she was tired too. The day had worn her out and guessing from the time they had spent in here, it was probably rather late already. Time for bed definitely. She would get him back to the Tribe safe and sound tomorrow and then report on the Monster they had killed, so the Guard could stop the heavy patrols out here and get back to normal. That way she might even have time to stop by her home real quick to get ahead of cleaning up. She'd been neglecting that lately in favor of sparring and patrol. Maybe she'd just go to her commander and get her next assignment instead of cleaning up, that would probably be a little more fun after all. But those were plans for tomorrow, right now she felt herself dozing off slightly and briefly shook herself awake to take a good look at the Earthwing, smiling coyly.
"I better not wake up in that pool tomorrow." She warned him before laying down her head again and letting the sleep pull her off into a dreamless land.
