(woot!)
The right eye of the creature continued watching her as she smiled, half tempted to mop it off her face with his tongue. Of course, the years he adjusted to humanity and a wealthy lifestyle compared to nothing to his life of a dragon, by several thousand years in retrospect - so he was bound to feel more comfortable as a dragon and acting like one than a human. It made it less wierd certainly.
He had always been a fathering figure to most he ment on his travels, so it was no suprise when he settled, he would adopt. Koari helped him realise something he had not learned, or felt for a long time. Throughout his travels he longed to meet another of his breed, being the last of his particular species for many thousands of years. The love between these sisters was the kind he had been looking for.
His memory was like a photo gallery, looking back of all those he had met on his travels. He had either outlived them, or outlived their interest. Her laugh snapped him out of his trance of thought, the iris refocusing back on her form. Inadvertantly taking in her statements, it was lucky she had laughed, because he might've just shed a tear.
The dragon had already lifted his head to curl it once more, but this time holding it pose-like above Kaori several feet, looking to the opposite side of the room as Kyla returned. He noticed how she found him comfortable, which was odd considering his armour scales were thicker than all other animals, the soft, velvet-like feathers were held across the back of his neck, several feet taller than she could reach.
Out of sheer curiousity or reaction, he drew his maw close pulling back his scaley lips softly to reveal t-rex-type teeth, opening very slightly for create a small gap, his lips closed around her clothes somewhat (thing a horse if nothing better), pulling at them and aimed to pick her up.
