Of Fire and Swords [M] [Archive]

[DragonSong]

Kiara twisted and arched an eyebrow at him. "What?"

[Medievarad]

"Just a thought occurred," he answered with a soft smirk. "Don't mind me."

[DragonSong]

"What?" she persisted.

[Medievarad]

"You're gonna hurt me," he answered with a soft smirk. "I'd rather not get hurt."

[DragonSong]

She quirked an eyebrow. "Well, I'm gonna hurt you if you don't tell me, now. So you're screwed either way."

[Medievarad]

Mist chuckled softly. "Fair," he answered with a soft grin. "I.. Don't see a change of clothes in here," he remarked with a smirk, closing the pack after he retrieved some rations, chewing on it idly.

[DragonSong]

"Oh." Kiara shrugged. "Well, we'll just have to stop and get you something then, yeah?"

[Medievarad]

He frowned, being quite surprised. "I-... Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, but I was expecting an elbow to the face," he said after a short while, ripping off another piece of jerky from the rations he got his hands on.

It was then it hit him. "Oh. I meant you-" he murmured softly.

[DragonSong]

"Me?" She blinked.

[Medievarad]

He shook his head. "Just leave it at that," he murmured with a wry smirk.

[DragonSong]

She huffed. "Y'know, sometimes I really don't understand you."

[Medievarad]

"Fair enough," he answered with an awkward chuckle. "Sometimes, I don't even understand myself. So that's pretty normal."

[DragonSong]

Kiara huffed and leaned out over Kit's neck a bit, letting her cheek rest against the dragon's scales as she watched the landscape speed by below them.

[Medievarad]

Mist sat back on Kit's back, sighing softly as he shut her pack again, swinging it over his shoulder. He didn't want to disturb Kiara like that.

[DragonSong]

Before she realized what was happening, Kiara was dropping off to sleep.

[Medievarad]

"Kit," Mist called out with a soft growl to his voice, before coughing, clearing it up andto trying again. "Kit," he sighed softly. "Set us down somewhere, I think she's exhausted."

[DragonSong]

The dragon snorted an affirmative and started circling, searching for a place to land. "You're not tired?" he asked over his shoulder.

[Medievarad]

"I.. Don't feel it," he answered with a soft frown. "Exhaustion, hunger, I don't feel those anymore." Mist closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I'll tell her, but not now."

[DragonSong]

"Hrmph." Kit snorted again, but fell silent as he flew.

[Medievarad]

Mist, having nothing better to do now that his only conversational partner seemed to be done talking, rested back again, taking a deep breath. He could only wait.
