Lidia walked the animal trail with soft footsteps. She'd already seen several deer and more than enough squirrels, who had chucked nuts at her intrusion. But she wasn't really harming anything. Her eyes were soft and alert, her boots were worn leather and hardly made a noise so long as she didn't step on broken twigs. At her side, a coiled whip hung within easy reach.

At last she reached the area she had been aiming for. The trees closed in around her; the sounds of the forest came alive with birds singing, locusts buzzing, and the occasional squirrel chatter. She ducked behind a fallen tree to sit out of immediate sight of anything that might happen to come along. This wasn't the first time she had been here, and on her last travel, she had found what seemed to be a scale from some sort of lizard. She hoped it was a dragon, but she had found no real evidence for one lurking in this forest. Still, she was nothing if not stubborn, and she loved nature.

She settled down with her back against the fallen tree, and reached into her backpack to pull out a journal. She'd keep records of her observations for now. And maybe if she was lucky, she'd see something worth remembering for later.

Suta had decided to walked for once, making small footprints on the ground. Where was the place again... He though to himself, his wings twitching somewhat. He was at his smaller size of only being two feet and one inch tall at his sholders. He was gray and looked like he wasn't much of a treat if you didn't think that he could breath fire and grow ten times his current size. He had found his orinigal owner dead, and he could tell by the way she died that it wasn't by a bear or demon. He knew excalty what killed her. One of her masters failed experiments.

He was hidden in a tree not far from the female dragen whisperer but he didn't notice her. He was more foced one the home slash labtory that he could tell someone was in. He though that the mad sciencest Wang Sakuranbo would have enough sense to go back to Japan, but he was proved wrong. It wasn't that much of a suprise, the man was hard to predict. He moved slightly closer to the home, making a few leafes fall the ground.

He heard the rustling of papers, like someone was looking through a jornal or something. He flew down to the ground and looked around to see if anyone was around. "Who is there?" By some mircale he was able to learn to be able to speak without having to be connceted to the other persons mind.

Lidia had only just flipped to the current blank page and had pulled out a pen to write, when the voice interrupted her train of thought. She flinched and spun, the journal falling from her hands to land page down in the dirt.

She didn't see anything in her immediate vicinity. "Wha- Who's there?" She echoed, unconsciously as she peered over the fallen tree. And if she hadn't dropped her journal before, it would have fallen again. Instead her pen dropped from loose fingers and her eyes went wide.

She ducked down behind the tree again, wondering if her eyes had deceived her. A dragon? A grey one, but one nonetheless. What was it doing here? She peered over the tree again. "Did you, uh, speak?"

Suta looked in the dircetion that he heard something fall, not even flinching. He might be small but he was stronger than he looked. His green eyes studying the fallen tree that he heard the thud from, remebering that he had seen the female there while he was in deep though of how he was going to get inside the Sakuranbo home.

He saw the woman peek over the tree which she hid behind. What she was hidding from was nothing he cared about. He heard the light thud of the pen falling to the ground, as well as seeing her eyes widen.

He was curious as to why she ducked back behind the tree seeing that he had already saw her, what was the point? He rolled his eyes at her question. "No, I just spoke in your mind. Of course I did." He snapped, being a little ill tempered, but who could blame him? Seeing that he saw the only person he trusted for his whole life go cold and motionless.

Lidia shivered a little at the dragon's rudeness. "Well excuse me," she muttered half under her breath. "I'm not used to conversing with little dragons like you in speech." The bigger dragons, yes, but the smaller ones she was still working on. And her eyes brightened a little with a million questions.

"Uh, how old are you, by the way?" She disappeared yet again to grab her journal and then reappeared to lunge over the tree and recollect her pen. She needed to take notes!

Suta wasn't suprised that she wouldn't be use to talking to a dragon at his sized, since he knew at the moment he was smaller than he should be. Though he was suprised to see that sprak of intrest of some kind in her green eyes.

"Seven, now I don't have much time for this." Suta was still focusing on a way to get into the Sakuranbo house only a few feet away from them. He heard the back door to the home open and he went to go see who came out. He hid in a few overgrown bushes. He saw a man with bright red hair and gray eyes, the very guy he was looking for. A low growl ripped through his chest.

"Seven?" She scribbled it down in her notebook before realizing the dragon was moving away. She followed him, taking care to watch where she was stepping.

What did he mean not much time for this? What was he doing? She crouched down a little off to one side--far enough that if he decided to lunge at her she could dodge.

"What-" she cut herself off when she saw a man emerge from a house in the woods. And then there was that growl from the dragon. She fumbled for her whip, unsure of what was going on. Did the dragon mean to attack an innocent huntsman?

Suta didn't seem to notice that the female had taken out her whip. He watched as the mad sciencest got another one of his creatures to come outside. It had red eyes and red hair, with long claws, sharp teeth, a tail with throns on the end, and an unusual pale skin color that said it all. It wasn't human. It was his latest experiment.

"I'm so sick of trying to guess that damn girl's genes when I can't even find her body!" The sciencest yelled a little too loudly. He had been trying to find his only success's body after she had been said to be dead in the newspaper. She was an unknown girl that had died of an uunknown cause. It was a strange case that when they took a sample of her blood there was not one match.

Suta's growling coutined at the very though that the only reason his old master is dead now is because her master wanted to be able to make copies of her DNA. It was agnoizing for the small dragon, to ever think that a teenage girl is died for such a reason.

Lidia stayed where she was, her eyes focused on the strange creature that appeared next to the man. She was frozen, wondering what the heck the guy was talking about.

Surely he couldn't be talking about the missing girl found dead not so long ago? But between Suta's growling and the man's anger as well as his unnatural creature--it made the hairs on the back of neck prickle--Lidia was quite comfortable staying where she was.

Unless the dragon made a move or the man did, she wasn't sure she wanted to instigate anything. Although judging by the strange creature, it probably wouldn't be long until they were discovered.
