In Axia's opinion, any day that she got to explore around and discover something new was a good day. Sure, mayyyyybe she could do to spend more time actually trying to complete the task that was given to her, but to be completely honest, returning to her colony and beginning to settle down was something that became less and less important to her as the days went on. She'd much rather be travelling around, seeing new places and meeting new people... although she'd be lying if she said she didn't get homesick every now and then. In any case, it wasn't like she could figure out what she was supposed to be looking for without a thorough understanding of the world, right? Right?!
Well, at least that was the excuse she was using for today. The fact that it was the exact same excuse she'd used for every day prior wasn't much of a problem- after all, it wasn't as if there was anyone around that she had to explain herself to.
She'd opted to use her humanoid form today- after all, she was visiting a place that was built and populated primarily by humans- but it probably attracted more attention than her draconic form in this case. Its odd appearance, combined with the fact that it wasn't too uncommon to see a dragon a Adela, made her natural form almost normal by comparison. Not that she cared about that too much, or would at least admit that she cared.
The royal castle of Adela was the place she'd set her sights on for today; she'd actually been spending quite a lot of time in Adela recently, partly because here didn't immediately run screaming the moment they set eyes on a dragon. It was only natural that she would want to pay a visit to the cornerstone of the nation, or at least get a look at it. There were, of course, several areas she was barred from entering- she was far from royalty, after all- but she was allowed to wander around the training grounds as long as she didn't get in the way of anything. This was where she found herself now, watching curiously at a distance as soldiers practiced with each other. Human warfare and weaponry hadn't always been things she was interested in, as she'd never really had any use for them, but recently she'd taken a sort of fascination to them...
The sudden distressed calls of someone nearby caught her by surprise, causing her to jump a little and let out a noise that could only be described as a squeak before her head darted upwards, frantically searching for the source of the cries. Eventually, her eyes locked on to a girl hanging rather uncomfortably from a tree, her wings entangled helplessly in its branches. She looked to be wearing some sort of uniform, and her magnificent wings gave Axia the impression that she was someone important, although she didn't have the slightest idea who. Regardless of who it was, though, Axia couldn't very well leave her all tangled up and alone like that- she'd been in that kind of situation herself more times than she'd like to admit, and she knew that it was less than pleasant. Hurriedly, she made her way over to the base of the tree and called back.
"Hey! Uh, don't worry, I'll be up there in... uhh, time. Yeah. Stay right where you are, okay?"
...Okay, it wasn't like she could do much besides staying where she was, but whatever.
Now, how exactly was she going to get up there? She had very little experience climbing trees, which she couldn't really be blamed for. Transforming and using her claws to climb could work... but doing that would probably result in knocking the whole damn thing over. She'd just have to learn as she went, which shouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, this was something that even a kid could do.
A few minutes passed as Axia made her way up the tree, relying pretty heavily on the support of some of the stronger branches to keep her balance. She climbed up until she was nearly eye level with the other girl, at which point she paused and suddenly spoke up once again.
"Okay! I'm here now. Are you hurt?"
