“Oh, yeah that’s gonna be like that…” Dusk sweatdropped as he stirred his drink with his straw. “It’s my dad, not that anyone around here really knows it. He basically micromanages everything around here in some way. Including the winds and weather. You should see the journal he keeps in his room, it has the forecasts for the next 3 months in it…”

Reina listened intently, hands folded together as she pictured Dusk’s father in her mind, the image of a bearded giant of a man screaming profanity at the sky, the absurdity of the elements actually listening to him, and Dusk having to fetch his morning tea. She giggled.

“I guess I won’t be controlling the winds here. Hopefully I remember that before I decide to try getting a better view of this land. Need my wind magic to control my falling.”

[praetorium-ventum]

“I don’t think you need to worry too much, I mean he generally doesn’t like people accidentally killing themselves around here so he’d probably stop you before you got too far.. Probably…” Dusk liked to think he had a roughly approximate knowledge of how his father worked. Or at the very least an understanding of what he did and didn’t like going on around his kingdom. Strange girls from another world ending up as pancakes was likely on the “Not” list.

“Dusk, the winds of your home are a little weird. They don’t immediately respond to my call, like they’re being commanded by a higher power. It feels weird.” She clutches her forehead, sitting at a cafe around Gala.

“Well… I suppose if you are a insisting then… Very well, I shall agree to your kind offer Miss Anna.” Foraoise nodded, reaching up and undoing the ribbon around her neck and offering it to Anna as a blindfold. It was obvious she could trust Anna not to peek if the other was insisting on this plan.

Anna offered another smile as she took the offered ribbon, steeling herself for being led without sight. But it couldn’t be as difficult as training with Lady Zophie, she was sure of it so with that thought in mind she didn’t waste any time. Even so, once the ribbon was in place she still took the time to fuss with her hair, keeping it from sticking uncomfortably to her cheeks from beneath the blindfold.

“O-Okay, I think I’m ready!” Anna stuck her hands out trying to feel for Foraoise and have some grounding as to where she was.

[praetorium-ventum]

Though Anna couldn’t see it, a shadow was cast over her as Foraoise returned to her true form. While she could have perhaps lead her through the forest by hand, that would have taken some time, and the dragon preferred to get this over with quickly, before she had time to talk herself out of it. 

“Please be still Miss Anna.” She requested, voice more booming to match her larger form. Foraoise leaned her head down and very carefully lifted Anna up by the back of her top to set her onto her back. “I hope you do not mind. This way shall be faster for us.”

A sensation ran through the mages body, from the bottom of his spine to the back of his skull. A sensation that warned him of something new and foreign. A sensation that was alerting him to a trespasser to not just his realm, but quite possibly the very world itself.

Vaati’s interest was piqued. It was not every day a new source of knowledge appeared within his home after all. He’d be a fool not to investigate. And so, he set aside the projects he had underway to sally forth out of his manor and down into the forest nearby to meet with this otherworldly visitor. Perhaps exchange a few pleasantries and invite them to his home. Or, should that fail, perhaps he would have to instead show them how much he insisted upon them returning with him.

[witchamania]

The farther she’d traveled the more obvious it became that she’d slipped through the Veil somewhere farther back. But when? Thinking back on it didn’t give her much insight, as seamless as the tear had been.

“Damnit!” With nothing but her scythe, a decent pocket knife and a few odds and ends in her pockets that didn’t leave her with much to work with. Were any of the plant and animal life here safe to devour? With that thought she’d have to find some kind of animal and watch what they ate before attempting anything…

[praetorium-ventum]

Ah wonderful, shouting was a very easy way to track down a person, even without already knowing where they were. It didn’t take long for the mage to “happen” across Blaire. “My, it’s not often I see people within these woods. Is everything quite alright? Did you perhaps get lost?” The mage asked as he entered view, a smile on his face and his hands hidden within his robes.

A look over the woman before him confirmed a few things for the mage. Based on the way her hair sat on the sides of her head, it appeared her ears were not pointed like a Hylian’s. But at the same time, her skin was too pale, and she was of a shorter stature to any Gerudo. It was certain this woman was not from this world, or at the very least came from an undiscovered land. The scythe and her physique told him she was at least antiquated with combat, but to what extent was not apparent. He kept himself on guard just in case, hands hidden within his robes, ready to send for a ward or spell should the other try and attack first.

grab  one  book  nearest  to  you  &  turn  to  page  23.  what’s  line  17 ?
So I’m unsure if this meant the 17th line or sentence, so here’s both. The book’s the 4th book of the Ranger’s Apprentice series.

“The chance that she might have been retaken by the Skandians was very slim indeed”
“He had no doubt he would find her.”

ever  had  a  poem  or  a  song  written  about  you  ?
Nah, not one that’s ever been shared to me at least.

when  was  the  last  time  you  played  air  guitar  ?
God like a month ago? I get into my music at work, it’s a lot easier to clean to music you like than whatever they play over the intercom for the 30th time.

who  is  your  celebrity  crush  ?
I barely know any celebs let alone well enough to have a crush. 

what’s  a  sound  you  hate  /  sound  you  love  :
Screaming. Specifically children screaming, it’s so overwhelming. I used to volunteer at a school for kids with special needs, and I had to stop because the screaming was just too much for me.

On the flip side I love thunderstorms, they’re easily the most calming sound in the world for me. Especially the sound of thunder in the distance, it makes me so happy whenever I hear it. I should really move to Europe.

do  you  believe  in  ghosts  ?
Honestly? Probably. I’ve had too many strange things happen for me to totally dismiss it.

how  about  aliens  ?
Absolutely, but I doubt they’re anywhere near us. Life seems like a infinitesimally rare miracle, but if the universe is infinite it’s just as unlikely that something that rare hasn’t occurred thousands of millions of billions etc of times.

do  you  drive  ?
Recklessly, so fast I blew out a piston in my car. Certainly not because my car is a bit of a junker that was already on it’s last legs when I got it.

if  so  ,  have  you  ever  crashed  ?
Nah, I’m far too skilled to crash. In reality though, I haven’t been driving for more than a year or two, so while I haven’t crashed it’s still early. I’ve had a few close calls already.

what  was  the  last  book  you  read  ?
I can’t actually recall. Likely something by Rick Riordan.

do  you  like  the  smell  of  gasoline  ?
I’m not too wild about it, tends to give me headaches.

what  was  the  last  movie  you  saw  ?
I want to say Knives Out? Back when the theater industry wasn’t killed by Trolls.

what’s  the  worst  injury  you’ve  ever  had  ?
I’ve been fortunate to have never broken anything. My worst injury was likely scraping my knees by falling off an electric scooter. I still have scars from it years later.

do  you  have  any  obsessions  right  now  ?
Been getting real into music again, and gaming.

do  you  tend  to  hold  grudges  against  people  who  have  done  you  wrong ?
For a little while yeah, give it time though and I’ll probably forget about it. If it’s particularly bad though I’ll likely not talk to them for a few months.

in  a  relationship  ?
Not really a relationship kind of person, still trying to figure myself out on that.

praetorium-ventum‌:

“A blindfold…? Hmmm…” That would mean she couldn’t see where they were going, but could she really ask that of Anna? After all the other was offering to help her, it would be rude to impose such a hindrance. Probably.

“I can’t ask you to go so far… But…” She seems to be fussing over this idea more than Anna was, chewing on one of her finger nails and pacing about. This was so hard! She’d never truly had to place this much trust in someone, and Anna seemed so understanding about it! She felt like she was taking advantage of Anna’s kindness asking something so selfish.

It didn’t look like Foraoise was any less anxious about the idea, her fidgeting and fussing only carrying on. At this rate they’d certainly never make progress! Yet if this treasure was truly that important to Foraoise–

“I assure you, Miss Foraoise, it’s quite okay! I offered and it’s important for you that it’s secret, so I don’t mind.”

[praetorium-ventum]

“Well… I suppose if you are a insisting then… Very well, I shall agree to your kind offer Miss Anna.” Foraoise nodded, reaching up and undoing the ribbon around her neck and offering it to Anna as a blindfold. It was obvious she could trust Anna not to peek if the other was insisting on this plan.

“Vital is… Not the appropriate word I think. It’s…” She trailed off, brow furrowed in thought as she struggled to find a way of explaining the significance a dragon’s hoard had to them. Could Anna, or any mortal truly understand the amount of pride and care that went into it?

“The place I am going to take you to is… My treasure? It is of great importance to me, and I do not wish for it to be shared with many others…” She settled upon, nodding as the words she was looking for fell into place within her head.

“I think I understand.” At least, in some capacity she did though just how much a dragon’s treasure meant to them was likely lost in the explanation. Anna could promise not to tell of it’s location all she wanted but wasn’t action more strongly accounted for than mere words?

She fussed with her hands for a moment, rolling an idea around in her head. There was a way to help repair Foraoise’s dress while not revealing the location of her treasure but… Well, it would certainly leave Anna at a disadvantage along the way.

“Would it make you feel better if I were blindfolded along the way?”

[praetorium-ventum]

“A blindfold…? Hmmm…” That would mean she couldn’t see where they were going, but could she really ask that of Anna? After all the other was offering to help her, it would be rude to impose such a hindrance. Probably.

“Really, you could do that?!” Foraoise got excited for a moment at the prospect of her dress being salvageable, but then she took a moment to think about it. If she did accept, that would mean bringing Miss Anna to her home and her hoard. Miss Anna seemed nice, certainly, but it took a lot of trust to bring anyone to a dragons hoard. Still, she didn’t have many options…

“Hmmmm… Swear on your life that you’ll keep everything I show you a secret?” She asked, pushing her fingers together as she took a large step in extending her trust towards another self-aware being. She didn’t have much dealings with people so it made her a little apprehensive, but she couldn’t see a reason not to trust Anna.

“I can do my best to, of course!” It would be the least that Anna could do for Foraoise after that lightning strike had hit her. Besides, she’d been helping Anna up until now despite the differences between them!

Anna’s brow shot upwards as she noted the conflicted look Foraoise hosted, the command that followed more a question than anything. At least, that’s the way it had sounded to Anna’s ear. Was it some kind of a problem to bring Anna somewhere?

“Oh, of course! But… why? Is it something vital to you?”

[praetorium-ventum]

“Vital is… Not the appropriate word I think. It’s…” She trailed off, brow furrowed in thought as she struggled to find a way of explaining the significance a dragon’s hoard had to them. Could Anna, or any mortal truly understand the amount of pride and care that went into it?

“M-Mmhmm!” She nodded, holding out her arm with a thumbs up. Her back was going to be so sore tomorrow, she just new it. Once the two of them were out of the water, she looked back over her shoulder to inspect the damage. The skin had all healed up nicely, leaving nary a trace of damage left, but there was no saving the dress without some serious stitch work skills. Skills she, as a giant lizard with claws, was not very adept at.

“It was so tricky to get this dress the last time. I had to sneak really close to the castle to nab one off the clothing lines… I don’t think I’ll be able to pull that off again…”

It was admirable how resolved Foraoise remained over walking on her own. Despite that Anna still hovered near, ready to help her if it was necessary. It would just be rude not to keep an eye out for her! Thankfully, it seemed that Foraoise was not bluffing when she mentioned being tough, her concern drifting to the ruined dress.

Anna offered a small smile, hiding it behind a hand. Was that a little mean to be amused by it? She certainly hoped not.

“Well, if you have some spare cloth squirreled away I might be able to patch it up. It won’t be perfect but it’ll hold until you can acquire a new one.”

[praetorium-ventum]

“Really, you could do that?!” Foraoise got excited for a moment at the prospect of her dress being salvageable, but then she took a moment to think about it. If she did accept, that would mean bringing Miss Anna to her home and her hoard. Miss Anna seemed nice, certainly, but it took a lot of trust to bring anyone to a dragons hoard.

“Yeah I suppose in the face of that, public indecency is a pretty small crime. Especially in secret…” Dusk sweatdropped, not even wanting to begin to figure out what was going on in the city right now. But hey, Leola seemed pretty relaxed about it to be out swimming, so it was probably fine. Probably.

Dusk ran his hands behind Leola to cover the rest of her back before he removed them to squirt a little more lotion into his palms and move along to her front, starting with her abdomen. And of course he took his time to really feel the muscles there, I mean how could he not? 

“And you’re right about creeps… We could always turn one of these islands into our own little private beach ya know? Doesn’t seem like anybody really comes out here, so if we just stayed on one of the sides facing away from the city and academy we’d be free to lay about naked all we like~”

“We could. Trainers come by often enough but I doubt they’d be a problem. There’s worse stuff to run into than some naked sunbathers. Not like the city is gonna expand out here anyway.”

She flexed her abs as Dusk gave them a bit more attention. Having the muscles admired wasn’t the main reason she trained, but it was a nice bonus. 

“You ought to take me away when we’re done with the threat here. Somewhere with nice beaches like this, but not overly aggressive aquatic life that overshoot their tackle, miss, and ram you into coral.” 

[praetorium-ventum]

Dusk chuckled slightly as he felt Leola’s muscles flex under his hands, smirking slightly as he looked up at her. “Good to see you still have enough energy to show off~” He teased before finally moving on from her midsection.

“I know of some lakeside beaches back home that are generally pretty peaceful. At most there are some aggressive clams at the bottom but they’re pretty easy to avoid. It’d be a lot easier to set up a little spot there than here too, since people generally don’t go too far out of the towns.” He nodded, getting a little more lotion before pausing to figure out where to do next.

“Want me to get your breasts as well or should I just go to your hips?”

“Yeah I think everyone has things they wish they could unsee…” Like that time he walked in on his dad naked. It still haunts him to this day. His hands moved to up cover her neck, before bring them back down to get her shoulder blades and then the sides of her torso. The sand sucked, feeling gritty wherever he encountered it, but that’s what you dealt with on a beach. Sand: all coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere

“It’d be nice if they could open a section of that beach as a proper nudist beach. I mean there are plenty of rocks to hide an area away for that. A lot of people actually find it pretty relaxing to be able to go around naked ever now and then, I know I do on occasion.”

She was thinking more along the lines of cosmic horrors that could only be stopped by her, and could very well destroy the world, but that was besides the point. The cool feeling from the sunscreen was nice, his touch tickled her sides a bit, but was otherwise welcome.

“We’d probably be better off setting it up in secret. Too many creeps in the city that don’t understand that looking is fine, but touching is not. That, and I can’t picture the current leadership adopting it, but there are a lot more things troubling the city right now. I’m sure a little nudity would go under the radar when there’s a giant laser cannon waiting to be charged behind an impenetrable barrier.”

“Thanks, but I don’t burn thanks to my unique physiology~” Dusk grinned as he took the bottle and popped it open, squeezing out a nice amount into the palm of his hand before closing the cap again. “Yeah for monks or whatever they don’t seem to be very free thinking when it comes to nudity. Oh well, their loss~” He chuckled as he rubbed his palms together before placing one hand on each of Leola’s shoulders and rubbing the lotion in to them

“I’ll leave your top on until I get to there just in case though, better safe than sorry right?~”

“Works for me.” Anything to distract her from the stinging in her leg. “Victoria is a total stickler for the rules, but she runs the place so I can’t blame her. Others there are a bit more open-minded, training in little but swimwear. I like the idea of living on a beach like that, hardly a care in the world. Sometimes you wish you could unsee some things, no?”

She did manage to sit up without bothering her leg, giving him an easier time of reaching her back. Sand clung onto her, but some perils were inevitable.
