[Today Xzana has ripped off the binding that had held her broken Luceti wing still. She gives it a test flap and no pain. At last. She's been grounded for far too long. Most of the day will be spent trying to learn how to fly with that new annoying set of smaller wings. It's a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but she slowly starts to get the hang of it.

Feel free to find her fluttering from tree branch to tree branch on the outside of the village. The trees are a bit thinner there. Ugh, she feels a bit like a hatchling again.

Then later, deeper in the forest she tests how these annoying new wing affects her other two forms. She tries the form most like her neutral one first.

She'll be spending most of her time in this form near the river and lakes. She also heard this place can make powers weaker. So she can be caught standing on top of the lake with a sprout of water winding around her. Testing how the water reacts to her calls and commands.

Once she feels comfortable with that she changes into her final form.

In this form she will be walking through the forest to try to find a clearing where she can practice her flying with the new Luceti wings. Feel free to come across the dragon at any time as she will be spending the rest of the day in this form.]

[You know, Bruce really should stop coming to the outskirts of the village to do some of his studies. One of these days he will learn to just go back to his apartment. Today though, he is sitting near a tree-- again-- and writing in his standard mess of a notebook.

But that won't last for long as he will soon hear rustling and wing flapping up in the trees around him. And when he looks up to see what it is he spots a familiar face. Oh, man. Whelp. Now that she's more settled into Luceti it seems, maybe this time they walk will be better..]

Oh. Uh... hello again.

[Xzana scrambles up the tree, her wings not taking her as far as she wanted them too. Stupid tiny wings getting in the way.

It's when she's safely on a branch does she notice the person below her.] He-llo? [Crap. Who was he? Her first day here was such a mess of pain and eventual fever from the broken wing that a lot of it is a bit of a blurr.]

Hey. I see your wing has gotten better.

[Though it seems as if she's acting more confused than he initially thought she would. He thought she might growl or tell him to stay back again.]

How has the Luceti life been treating you...?

[Hm. So she probably met him her first or second day here. She still doesn't remember his name though.]

I did not like last week.

To be honest, I don't think most people like the first week they're here.

[...]

You don't.... remember me do you?

[She would argue that she was here a lot longer than just one week, but the concept of human time is still difficult for her to get a handle on. One week is the same as eighteen days right? Or was it thirty? Fifty-two? Eh, whatever.]

You seem... familiar. [Not completely odd, but not someone she needs to remember.]

I wanted to help you bandage your wing when you first got here. But I'm not really all that surprised you don't remember me. I'm sure you got that offer a lot.

[Most people here are pretty nice so he figures she must have gotten a lot of offers on that day. Especially with healing magic being readily available and all that.]

My wing is fine. I could remove these bindings if I wanted to. [Yup. Still trying to act like nothing is wrong.]

Oh, really? That's great. I'm happy you're feeling better...

[But-- hmmm.]

Does that mean uh-- you don't mind humans anymore? ... Or, strangers rather? You seemed pretty scared to accept help before, but I suppose that could have been under different circumstances. [Considering you know. She was kind of tossed in this strange place without reason or cause.]

I do not need any help. I am not scared of anything. And I have no problem with any creature so long as they are respectful to me.

[his morning run had started a bit later in the day than usual. Being sick had taken a lot out of him, and even mostly recovered he found himself sleeping later than he normally would. So, as the day heats up, he takes his run to the edge of the forest rather than sticking to the village proper. He still felt a bit wary of the woods after his rather eventful arrival there, but it was a lot cooler in the shade.

...Of course, he wasn't expecting to see something person-sized suddenly fly from branch to branch overhead, and he stumbles to a stop, staring up at her slack-jawed]

...What the-?

[She scrambles up the tree branch she nearly missed. Those little wings got in her way more than she thought they would.

She turns to the sound of the voice and freezes. Crap. It's staring at her. What does she do?]

Hello?

[Flying.

He was pretty sure they'd been told they couldn't fly. In fact, he's sure Bones mentioned something about that.]

You flew!

[...right. Not his most eloquent beginning, ever, but he seems to realize it enough to clear his throat and look appropriately embarrassed]

Not well. [She brushes her fingers through the large set of wings on her back. Disappointed in herself.]

....Yeah, no. I'm sticking to being surprised that you managed it in the first place.

[though, now that he's actually looking at her, he's beginning to pick out the differences, including that double set of wings.

...Either the Malnosso had decided to double the fun, or she wasn't human.

...Sometimes he really didn't like this place. That shouldn't even be a question]

Are you saying that I don't look like I can fly well!? I am no hatchling! These extra wings are in the way! I am a strong flyer!

[Gah]

Woah, hey! That's not what I meant.

[.............hatchling? Why him?] I'm sure you are. Whatever you say.

Then what did you mean?

[he held up his hands] The only flying I'm used to is in a plane. It wasn't personal.

What's a plane?

It's a....machine. With wings. [he made a frustrated sound] You know what...I give up.

I have wings. So why are you surprised?
