He now did several spins, loops, corkscrews, and other such aerial acrobatics. Then flew up so that his shadowy silhouette covered about 1/4 of the moon behind him, then dove back down at an incredible speed. Then pulled back up at the last possible second, his clawed talons barely grazing the grass of a meadow near a farm. He did so many aerial acrobats it was almost amazing that he had no idea what 'fun' was.

She held on as he moved through the air, spinning turning, dropping, and dipping. She couldn't stop smiling either, loving every moment of it.

It seemed he couldn't speak when he was in his dragon form, for he didn't reply to her question. She said nothing more, the only sounds where of her laughter. She didn't even flinch when he dove right for the ground, she knew he was experienced in flying, he was a dragon.
He couldn't try to kill himself at her expense anyway.

He pulled up at the last second, as she knew he would and landed. Yuna laughed, but couldn't detach herself from his neck. Instead, she let herself slide off, falling onto the cushioned grass, laughing breathlessly.

"I never knew flying felt.. like that" she said, smiling, "If I had, I would have tried it earlier"

He turned back to his human form, and kneeled beside her, noting that she had simply slid off of him. He was just wondering if she was alright. Then she spoke, and he smiled, relieved that she was alright. He sighed contentedly, and leaned back against a nearby tree. For once in his life, he felt as though he was truly loved. But.... no, he would not risk it. He debated with himself silently on what he should do next.

Yuna sat up again, her pinwheel made it uncomfortable to lie on for too long.

Threading her fingers through the long grass, listening to the cicadas as they called for their mates. She wondered if that was how dragons did it? They sang for their loves? Either way, dragons were indeed beautiful things.

She stood again, and stretched, her limbs had cramped up from holding onto Ziggy so tightly for as long as she did. Absently, she tugged at the leather strap that held her pinwheel in place, hearing the metal thing fall into the dirt behind her, she stretched again, the sudden loss of weight nearly caused her to topple over. But she managed.

She turned around to look at the pinwheel as it stuck out at the odd angle it was now at. Though she spoke to Ziggy, "What are dragons sleep habits like?" she asked, kicking the pinwheel so that it lay flat against the grass, before she lay down beside it. Looking up at the stars.

She was still curious about dragons, Ziggy was the first she had met. So it went without saying that she had questions she wanted answered.

"How do you mean 'sleep habits'?" he asked, he could think of a few things that those words together meant. One being more perverted than the others, but, he felt safer asking rather than boldly going into descriptive detail of mating rituals rather than plain sleeping rituals.

Anonymous

She grinned, still looking at the sky, "Whatever you think I mean," she said, and she laughed once.

She had a vague idea of what was probably going on in his mind, and she didn't really care either. She was curious about both sides of the question, both sleeping and ..mating. It was an odd thought to have. But where they human when they mated? or did they stay in their human forms?

Anonymous

"Ummm...." He said softly, thinking how best to describe it. "Well, the mating itself is difficult to explain... the male impresses the female, like, building her a nest, or getting her a prize of a kill for her to eat, any form of impressing her, for a true-dragon or human, it can work for weredragons..." He said, "Then the male courts her which, unlike most forms of 'courting' is actually an example of foreplay, or 'Captures' her, breeds her, and then they wait nine weeks, staying together the entire time, until the eggs hatch, and, if the female allows it, the male stays with his new family for 2 months, which is 10 years for newborn weredragons, and then they -all- go their seperate ways afterwards..." He said softly.

"as for sleeping in general, in human form, the same as humans, in dragon form, it more resembles a dog getting ready to sleep..."

Yuna sat up as he explained it, listening carefully. Dragons really were different, it seemed. Yet something about what they did.. and how they did it, was interesting. Yuna found herself wishing that humans could be like that sometimes. The male doing some big romantic thing for his lady.

"Captures her?" Yuna grinned, "You almost make it sound bad," she said, poing his arm.

Yeah, she did sort of wish she was a weredragon, like Ziggy. Being able to fly wold have been good enough for her. But, she wasn't about to complain about being born... whatever she was. She didn't mind her body, it was older than any humans, and stronger. Faster too. But it was nothing compared to a weredragon.

"Captures, like Capturing her heart." he said softly. When she poked his arm, he tilted his head. Why did she act this way? Was it only around him? He was truly curious, He scooted over nex t to her, making sure to avoid the pinwheel, and, gently, wrapped his arm around her waist, then rested his chin on her shoulder, and the side of his head against hers. He simply stared down at the large lake before them, the crystal waters, the moon glimmering on the surface of the water. He sighed gently, contentedly, almost.

She was.. mildly surprised at his action after she had poked him. His touch didn't make her want to move away and run like most human's did. She found that... she didn't mind it.

Yuna took action too, placing one of her hands on his.
It had been a while since she had been this close to someone. It wasn't uncomfortable at all either.

She said nothing, thinking it was probably better to put her questions away, she had been asking him them for a long time now, he was probably sick of hearing them.
She found that she was also getting tied. It was late, the sun had set hours ago. She had lost track of time, and hadn't cared about it at all either.

She smiled, choosing that moment to reply to his earlier answer to her statement about capturing sounding bad, "Well.. when it's said like that, I suppose it's a little better." she chuckled once.

He smiled at her, gently nuzzling her neck and held her close to him as he leaned against the nearest thing he could lean his back against -- a large rock-- and cuddled her close to him, keeping her warm and safe, he would let her stay by his side if she wished. When she didn't move from his touch earlier, he figured she may have enjoyed it, and, gently, kissed the top of her head. Weredragons could go -about- a month without sleep, he would stay awake all night to keep watch over her should she fall asleep there in his arms.

Glad that he was smiling again, Yuna didn't notice it when sleep decided to take her. Nor did she mind it. She sat there for a while longer, watching the water, and generally enjoying Ziggy's company. His arms seemed to become slightly more comfortable, and his warmth a little too welcoming.

For she didn't feel the kiss he planted on her forehead, sleep had already claimed her, she had unconsciously embraced it.

With her head falling to his shoulder and her hand going limp around his, Yuna slept. Better than she had in a while.

Ziggy stayed awake the entire night, nothing came near for he was giving off the powerful aura of a weredragon prince trained in several forms of combat, which he was. When the sun rose, he continued staring down at the water, and waited for her to awaken. If she wasn't awake by the time the sun was right in the middle of the sky, he would wake her up himself. He was such a sweet guy, as most weredragons were.

Yuna woke up some hours later, her mind still foggy and clouded over. She didn't know if yesterday... last night's events had really happened or if they were just a dream. But when her eyelids opened, he was still there.
She nearly jumped a foot.

She looked at him, to her pinwheel and back again, "I fell asleep.. Sorry about that." she frowned, rubbing her eye with her free hand, "Why didn't you keep me awake? I wanted to talk with you for longer" she admitted softly.

That was true enough, she had wanted to learn more about him, but being how she was, she needed her sleep.
She, reluctantly, broke from his hold, and made for the lake. Using the water to splash on her face to wake her up a little.

Mostly, she wanted to know if he had gotten any sleep. Hopefully he hadn't stayed up on her accord.

Anonymous

He smiled at her, "You can still talk to me, y'know... it's not like I have anything more important to do right now..." He said, getting up and leaning against the tree he had been leaning on the previous night, just watching her, a slight wave of arousal swept over him, but he managed to shake himself out of it after she leaned over the water, exposing her back to him, that is what caused the wave of arousal. Hmmm... he thought silently. Must be fairly close to the mating season.... unless there's a female in heat nearby, but so out of the season? It was a fairly warm fall day, the weredragon mating season was from late-late winter, like a week before spring, into late summer or early fall. It was currently the middle of fall, so, he had no idea what had aroused him so.... he sighed, and continued to watch her, careful not to let himself get aroused so easily again.

As she tured away from the water, running her damp hand through her dark hair, she caught an odd look on Ziggy's face.

She frowned slightly, and walked back over to him, "You look funny, something the matter?" she asked, going out to poke him, but letting her arm drop at the last second, he was probably sick of her pokes anyway.

Anonymous

He chuckled, "No, nothing's wrong... does something have to be wrong for me to watch you?" He asked with a small smile. It was no secret: he'd do almost anything for this young girl, he leaned into her, kissing the top of her head gently. Then he pulled back after a few seconds, thinking Whoa... where'd that come from?

Anonymous

Yuna blinked, mildly surprised as he kissed her forehead. Another whirl of memories form last night came back to her and she laughed once.

She gave Ziggy a curious look, "Don't you only... y'know... have relations with other dragons?"

Rather than with... whatever it was that Yuna was, exactly.

"Fellow werecreatures, dragons and dragon kin, and humans..." He said softly. "I'm pretty sure if you have a human or dragon form, it would be perfectly acceptable..." He said, staring deeply into her eyes, his black eyes locked with hers, seeming to  have a piercing gaze into her soul. Almost as though reading her mind.

Anonymous

Well, that made sense, in a weird sort of way. "But I'm not human... or dragon for that matter!" she grinned and punched his arm lightly.

Then when he looked at her, she found herself unable to look away, his stare was just so... absorbing. She found she had to look away, it was slightly daunting even, just how intense he made it look.
