"... Meh, fine I'll leave your scaley bird alone" He chuckled to himself as he eyed the dragon, he hid the fact he was impressed rather well, the short man didn't seem the least bit intimidated, he actually seemed to be sizing up the creature.
"Hrm, I suppose I'm getting rusty in terms of attempting to hide my identity. Oh, and speaking of which... do you have a name?, or should I just call you 'woman who speaks to bird-lizards' " That left hand lifted to remove that cloth mask, the right still spinning that rather heavy chain. The reasoning of the mismatched eyes revealed, a scar trailing from just above his left brow, down to mid cheek.
"I usually sleep through sunrises...the only way I'd be awake to miss it is if someone had me off to go prancing around in a meadow in the middle of the night with them.... you aren't asking are you... y'know I love meadows" Now he was just pushing buttons, that joking grin was now visable. That figure gradually faded in a dark mist, though one could still detect his presence if they tried, he attempted to reappear behind the woman and her dragon. "Talking to birds in the forest, poofing boulders, pulling a sword on me, and threatening me with a dragon... I like your style"
That spinning of the chain ceased, the momentum launching it upwards the velocity of the weapon caused it to emit a light whistle. That left hand reached out slightly, allowing the chain to drop right into his grasp. "Well joking aside... " He coughed lightly, "You two are indeed interesting... going off on some epic voyage for revenge, or treasure, or perhaps some lost freinds?"
He seemed to become slightly more freindly, initially he just wanted to get a grasp on exactly what the woman's temperment was, and exactly what it was he thought he sensed in her. If she was hiding some gift, the dragon was an excellant decoy. He assumed he had detected the creature instead of her. "So how exactly does a warrioress, befreind a mighty dragon if you don't mind me asking?"
