'A hunting paddock? No.' He snorted at that, swishing his tail at her, lifting it to put in her face to block her from following but not trying to use any force against the young human. 'It is part of my home and I would appreciate it if you didn't go poking around like it's yours to explore.'

After a bit of deliberation, though, he determined it might just be easier to feed her than to deal with her whining. 'I will bring back scraps for you,' he promised after a moment. With that decided, though, he was quickly turning again to lumber past her and head towards the mouth of the cave. 'Stay here.'

GoblinFae

The young woman recoiled slightly in surprise at having a large scaly tail suddenly thrust in her face but it did not deter her entirely from trying to see around it and into the darkness. "Well couldn't you just take me with you? Would certainly keep me from feeling tempted to explore in my boredom."

She eyed the tail in front of her critically, already feeling the curiosity of boredom quickly taking hold of her as if the mere mention of it drew it up in force. Quickly making up her mind, Eireann suddenly latched onto the dark tail as he attempted to leave and began nuzzling her cheek against the cool scales as she once again hugged Xibalba. "Please?"

He froze at the sensation of her hugging his tail. Actually hugging. It was very strange and he was quite certain nobody had ever managed to do such a thing to him. Ever.

The dragon practically rolled his eyes at her pleading, though, seeing it as childish for her to want to be taken along for such a thing. 'I don't think you've ever seen a dragon hunt before. It is not something I would ever just "take along" a human to witness,' he protested.

Then, hoping he might be able to scare and intimidate her, he continued on. 'I eat them, you know. Loudly. Not with a knife and fork like some human. With claws and teeth. Sometimes while they're still alive. Just guts and bones everywhere,' he sneered.

GoblinFae

"Not a dragon as large and magnificent as yourself, no. But what's the problem? You've got to eat same as everything else. Besides I don't think there would ever be a fork and knife large enough for you." Eireann released Xibalba's tail to make a small hand motion of cutting imaginary food with imaginary cutlery. "Imagine it! Tiny little fork and knife and you trying to be all dainty with it!" She doubled over with laughter at the very notion of such silliness. "Really now Xi, if you're trying to scare me off then you're doing a piss-poor job," she declared while looking up at him with a form of determined sense of awe. She had been hoping to meet a dragon like him all her life. She certainly was not about to let his attempts to chase her off to fetter her sails. "Please?"

He huffed and snorted, deeply offended at the idea that he would ever try such a thing in his natural form. 'That's ridiculous,' he complained, hunkering down defensively for the human woman's laughter. He wasn't quite sure how she'd managed to make fun of him in his own home. Again.

'I wasn't trying to scare you,' he lied, 'I was merely informing you of the realities of dragonkind and the consequences for yourself should I choose to take you along.'

It was quite a predicament, though, he realized. He would not be able to hunt while holding her in his paws as he had before. At least, not without risking serious injury to her or making it cumbersome for him to carry extra. Though she claimed to be unbothered, he figured he might accomplish something with her by sheer force if she had to witness it. 'You will join me, but I will hear no complaints,' he warned, curling his neck around to look at her eye-to-eye. 'You risk your safety and your life. I will not catch you if you fall, I have no use for a weak human.'

With that he stepped a little closer to the mouth of his den before turning to the side to block it with his body and hunkering down again. He threw his head towards his shoulders, lifting his wings slightly so she might not be tempted to grab onto them and instead use his foreleg to hoist herself up. 'Climb on.'

GoblinFae

Eireann stared at Xibalba in awe, completely taken aback and at first disbelieving of what he was offering her. The incredibly massive and powerful being was offering her a proper dragon ride and it stunned her completely speechless for a full minute. Only once her brain was able to catch up did she launch herself over the edge of the nest and across his den to his side.

She slowed only as she came within a breath of him as if to check one last time if he had changed his mind. Eireann had not even considered using his wings to climb on and completely ignored attempting to use his foreleg. Instead she carefully approached his hindleg  to swing up over his haunch and onto his broad back.

"Almost ready!" Eireann informed him as she nimbly raced up his back while trying to avoid falling off or knocking into his wings. From her experience with her own familial dragon at home, she knew just how delicate and sensitive the appendages could be when some uncareful child gave them an unwarranted tug. Only once she settled herself in front of his wings with her legs straddling either side of him and her feet locked in above his forelegs to keep out of his way did she finally pat the smooth scales of his neck.

"Is this alright for you, Xi?"

Juno

The black dragon gave a series of short grunts and huffs of annoyance, as if her slow, gradual presence on his back was the biggest inconvenience imaginable. He watched her from one eye, head tilted to observe the, to him, odd way she chose to climb up and get herself settled.

'Yes. Thankfully I barely feel your weight,' he informed her, lowering his wings again to fold loosely at his sides with the danger of any unwanted tugging already past. It was an odd sensation, though. He couldn't even remember the last time he'd done such a thing and wondered if perhaps he never had before.

There was an odd sense of warmth that didn't come from the physical contact. An oddly comfortable feeling coiled within him like a dancing flame waiting to burst free. He wondered if it was his fire, if he should take care to expend some of it while they were out.

'Remember,' he began again distractedly, 'no complaints from you about this.' And with that he was turning to face out towards the great emptiness beyond his cave, looking out at the expanse of air between his and the next mountain.

His claws tapped anxiously along the rocks, gripping on as he eased himself out, craning his neck as though afraid he might fall while practically teetering on the shelf.

Leathery wings slowly unfurled and he pressed them forward to rise and fall gently along the current shooting up along the mountain. With a short, chirping cry he let go, allowing himself to fall forward before practically pouncing onto the unseen draft that would lift them higher, up and away from the comfort of his home.

With his paws free Xibalba curled them comfortably against himself as he glided along with the currents, black wings flapping sparingly, just enough to keep them smoothly airborne as he darted through the mountain range.

He didn't dare turn his head. Making any move to "check" on the young human was an obvious sign of concern, he thought, and of course he had none of that. But for the first time in his life the drive to reach out to a human nagged at him, curious if she was enjoying it despite how he'd only offered to try to scare her. Unbelievable.

GoblinFae

"Well if it's only barely," she teased impishly. Eireann was a massive ball of wired nerves. She was all but dancing on the dragon's back in anticipation of a proper flying experience. It was like festival season and her birthday all rolled into one. Not even Xibalba's grumpiness could dampen her mood.

The pause before he was suddenly launching them both into the air was literally breath-taking for the young woman. For a few peaceful moments she was stunned into silence as her stomach plummeted to her boot-clad toes. But, it was not to last as Eireann threw her arms into the air, her knees locked tight against the dragon's powerful body as she crowed loudly in pure joy. Not even the cool, stinging wind against her face or the flapping of her long bangs behind her stole the beauty of the moment from her.

Placing her hands securely yet gently upon his scaly shoulders, Eireann leaned her body forward to be nearly flat with his long neck. "Can we go faster?" she all but begged him with the enthusiasm of a young child. "This is amazing!"

Juno

Her shouts of glee quelled any hope he'd had left to frighten her properly. He didn't want to admit it to her, but he realized he'd made a mistake in choosing to take her out.

He heard her small voice over the slicing winds, finally allowing himself to tilt his head to study the human huddled upon his back. 'Faster?' She must have been insane. How could anyone possibly enjoy such a thing so much? She was a fragile human perched upon the back of a dragon that could very quickly choose to end her life if he wanted and she wanted more? In his years he'd lost almost all sense of thrill in flight, the only vestiges remaining being the sensation of utter freedom within the skies and the comforting stretch of his wings straining to keep such a beast airborne.

'Has anyone ever told you you're insane, Eir?' he prodded, voice booming with mirth even as his wings beat to accommodate her request almost automatically, an action that caught him off guard once he realized he was obeying an "inferior" creature.

Trying to shake himself of the nagging thought he righted himself and angled into a lazy dive as they exited the mountains, careful to remain high above the few hills that still reached out to them from the ground.

Xibalba surveyed the ground, eyes sharply focused on his real task as he took in the sight of the multi-colored specks upon the ground he knew to be the unsuspecting livestock of man.

GoblinFae

"Not since last week!" she shouted back, the widest of grins splitting her face nearly in two. The extra speed forced her to squeeze her eyes shut against the wind and press her cheek against the glossy smoothness of his dark scales. If she thought it could not get any better, she was sorely mistaken. Diving was a whole new and thrilling experience that she hoped to have the opportunity to enjoy more and more in the near future. "What's for breakfast then?" Eireann called to him as she peered over his shoulder down at the indiscernible shapes below.

Juno

The dragon snorted at her witty remark, in disbelief that she wasn't shocked enough to wipe that facet of her apparent personality. Her continued interest in the activity he'd meant to be frightening was a little disheartening.

'Breakfast...' He pondered that, still peering down at the scattered animals upon the ground as he leveled out. Somehow he was surprised at how effortless it was to carry her, even small as she was. He barely felt her upon his back but he didn't think he'd ever tell her such a thing, he expected it would only encourage her to ask for such a thing more often, though why he was thinking about that -the future- he had no idea.

'Cow or horse,' he decided, then added almost mockingly, 'What do you think?' Even as he said it, though, he was already angling into another lazy dive to take them closer in, circling a large stretch of pasture and watching impassively as several of the mentioned animals turned to look skyward towards the dark beast.

GoblinFae

Undeterred by his mocking tone, Eireann actually contemplated his question. "Well," she began, "nag always tends to be a bit tough and chewy even fresh or so I've heard whereas steer is certainly plumper and juicer. Either way though I'm sure either would make a fine treat if you're looking for a bit of a lazy start to the morning. They're certainly easy prey for a lesser being let alone a dragon such as yourself. If you're looking for more fight though I'd recommend the herd of deer I saw a few days ago that aways."

She pointed off in the opposite direction towards the thicker treeline. "I saw some new fawns that I'm sure would be extra tender and delicious if you have a more delicate palate than the common livestock veal."

Xibalba turned his head to see where she was pointing to but her proposal sounded awfully inconvenient. 'No,' he said simply in answer before going on to explain, 'their young are small. Even the adults are a little small. Small means it will take more time to gather what I need of them. I would rather just have a single larger beast.'

He wouldn't deny that he was quite lazy anyway but he felt that went without saying. 'So a cow then,' he decided, reflecting upon her own opinion and finding himself in agreement with it.

With his mind made up he brought them even closer in until the specks of before finally looked like actual animals in shape. He surveyed the herd in the distance, taking note of both young and old alike before selecting a cream-coat heifer in the middle that was without a calf at her side and didn't look pregnant. He dove swiftly, determined and focused, purposefully making no specific sounds to alert them to his presence as he might if he'd been in a different mood.

He plucked the cow easily enough from the rest, struggling for just a moment to stay airborne as he adjusted for her weight. It was easy to ignore the sudden wailing from both his prey and her herd alike, he'd done it so many times before that there was no emotion to killing for food. Without care for the human upon his back he allowed his hunger to take over, landing a little awkwardly after gliding past a few more hills. He dug in immediately, quickly snapping the heifer's neck to silence her and end her life moments before his claws tore messily through her flesh. He wasn't quite sure where to start, nipping at bits and pieces of exposed meat before settling into her shoulder for the leaner parts. He curled himself around his prey, silent aside from a low rumble of appreciation as he allowed his hunger to drive him and set the pace of his morning feast.

GoblinFae

"Suit yourself," she replied with a slight shrug. Given that he was doing all the hunting and flying, she hardly was going to complain when food was food. Eireann did have to practically bite her tongue to keep silent in their descent though. The joys of flight still had not become old to her yet and her first instinct was to crow with delight again. She did not think though that Xibalba would have been pleased to have his prey sent into a tizzy prematurely by her squealing and screeching.

His shifting to accommodate the cow did cause a slight giggle to escape her as she could only imagine how he looked from the ground trying to lift his fresh cargo. But, when they landed again the young woman kept still and silent for several long moments. She observed closely how he looked after his meal before digging in and was rather surprised to see how rather merciful he was in comparison to his grand talk of being vicious and grotesque earlier.

From her perch though she eventually began to gently rub the scales of his shoulders while still remaining mounted. Eireann did not relish him trying to eat her for interrupting his meal if he was so inclined. "So could I have a bit of the flank or even the sirloin then? I don't mind waiting for you to finish of course. Just hungry too," she reminded him kindly.

Juno

Instinctively Xibalba rumbled a warning growl at the sound of her voice, but he was quickly silenced by her gentle question. Despite there being no chill he shivered slightly at the gentleness of her touch, unused to the action of petting, though it was entirely foreign while eating.

He paused, lifting his bloodied muzzle from the carcass to crane his neck to look at her directly. Truthfully he'd forgotten that aspect. Human toys never complained or asked for anything for fear of death, yet this woman truly seemed to have no fear of him at all. He wasn't used to having anything to take care of besides his own needs so he was a little taken aback as he looked between her and his meal.

He wanted to be greedy, despite his good health. He wanted to say that the whole cow was his and he needed every ounce of meat from it. But...how much could a human really eat anyway? It had been so long since he'd eaten in that form himself he truly couldn't remember. 'You would eat raw meat?' he questioned seriously, still debating it but turning to bow his head to his meal once more.

GoblinFae

Eireann met his gaze, undeterred by the gore upon his muzzle, though she did keep her eyes somewhat lowered so as to not be seen as a challenger for the dragon's food. She patted his shoulder twice before ceasing her petting so as to not irritate him further.

"I don't eat it raw, no. But I'll cook up my small portion. There's no rush. I'll gladly wait until you're finished." She could not help herself though as she began to chuckle at her next thought. "I won't even bother you for a bit of flame for my cooking fire. Go ahead and eat though," the young woman urged, gently patting his neck again before remembering herself. "I'm sure it tastes better fresh and warm than cold."

Juno

His eyes narrowed at her, somehow still unhappy even though she was (in dragon terms) being incredibly, perfectly polite.

'You may have some. After I'm finished,' he decided, returning to feast from the carcass but careful to leave a sizeable portion of her mentioned cut on the body and left alone. Truthfully it was far too large, enough to feed a human family, but he'd forgotten how much or how little they could eat having not really bothered with feeding any humans in recent history.

'You know... I'm perfectly capable of providing flame for you,' he noted, not realizing just how annoyed he'd been that she'd rejected an offer before it was even made, as if she didn't need him for anything. More than that, it was that she had free reign over decisions that affected her. She was his toy, so why should she not be made to play by his rules?

'What do you have against it?' he wondered.

"Of course," she replied, having expected to wait for him to have his fill before she even has a chance at it. It was for this reason that Eireann remained perched upon his back as it would ensure that he did not suddenly think that she would attempt to make off with his meal before he was done with it first.

Her eyes widened though at his questions regarding his fire. She was nearly positive he had taken her declaration to heart as a grave insult which was far from her original intention. "Nothing against it at all! On the contrary I simply hoped to keep from inconviencing you with my necessary human limitations. I did not think that you would appreciate me demanding use of your wonderful skills for such a menial task. By all means though if you desire to assist in such a task I would be most appreciative and grateful."

Juno

Xibalba rolled his eyes, thinking it impossible she was genuinely that concerned over not inconveniencing him. He still had trouble believing she had some sort of respect for him as a dragon. He was still a stranger who had technically kidnapped her, so he questioned her sanity still.

He licked at his muzzle and pushed at the carcass with one paw to set it aside. 'You can have the rest. I get warm, so you may want to get off my back,' he prompted her with a bored snort, not really caring either way what she did but thinking it was fair to warn her.

GoblinFae

Unable to see his eyeroll, Eireann had no idea about te attitude the dragon was giving her behind his back. Seeing how much meat he had left for her though nearly had her eyes falling out of her head. It was far too much for a single person.

"You're sure you don't need more? I didn't mean to put you off you're meal oh great hunter. There is no need to sacrifice so much on my account I assure you. I- wait!" She sputtered finally catching onto his warning. "What do you mean you get warm? How does eating make you warm? And how warm exactly do you get, Xi? I'm not going to be popping off like corn in a kettle am I?"
