Flora Khan (played by Varizella)

Flora stood still when Gavin came nearer. It was alright that he touched her shoulder, he clearly wanted to support her. She calmed down a bit. If even a strange being from the past was okay with the appearing of the shelter then she would be too, the woman thought. She watched Gavin and the strange, purplish, oval fruit that gave a mild glow. The fruit was never seen before by her. With awe she took it: "Thank you."

Hearing Liam, Flora then watched him but still stayed next to Gavin. Something about the fruit made her feel safe, maybe it was just because he gifted it to her. Mother Nature stepped out from the woods and talked to them. Flora was shocked about this and could just bow to her. She had felt the presence of Mother Nature before when she was walking through the forest. Now she also saw her, that's crazy. Then Sakura showed. But before Flora could really consider her, she vanished. "She is a bit more skittish with people.", Liam explained. "I see.", Flora nodded, "it's much to process...
Gavin? We should go inside the shelter" She gestured in the direction and moved there.

Mother and sister, the words were a familiar comfort to him yet stirred something inside. The tip of his tail flipped back and forth, pausing when the thunder rolled through. It resumed it's twitching when mother nature showed herself.

A single eye peered out from the shadow cast by the hood to watch mother nature while he listened. A blessing to each other, he could see that to some degree. Here was one with a family. Perhaps he could learn more about how one got a family. Then again they could barely understand eachother and the strange words that now poured from Nature's mouth proved it.

Lost in his thoughts, he stared at the ground until the motion of Flora's gesture caught his attention. He stared at the inside of the shelter until the rain began to fall. Every drop that came near him became a snowflake. Seeing everyone in the shelter, he shrugged and began to make his away in.

More thunder made him stop and look towards the sky, looking for something. His tail lifted in eager anticipation for a moment only to fall limp. It dragged on the ground as he trudged inside and sat in a corner. Though he pulled his knees up and curled his tail around, he watched each one with curiosity. It was indeed much to take in especially with a race other than dragons. What did humans do to wait out weather?
Liam (played by Feenat)

Everyone fit under the shelter with room to spare. The awkwardness hung around them like an unwanted guest. Liam usually meditated and sang healing over the land and creatures. This time that seemed rude and the communication problems would end up leaving someone out. Liam's mind raced a million miles an hour trying to ease not just his discomfort but his companions as well.

What seemed like hours was only a minute or two when Liam found a small stick. "Flora what are we going to do if this blue dragon runs for the city? I don't even want to think about what they would do to this little guy. Gavin's tale alone would raise panic despite the teachings of the monks. These two will need our protection. " Lighting lit the now dark sky to day and a loud crack of thunder rolled around them. Liam during this time was moving closer to Gavin and began to write in the dirt "where are you from? What brought you to this island?

Liam could feel the wind in the trees as if he were one of them and began to heal the weak and brittle trees around them. Pausing briefly in the song he remembered what his mother said she did once long ago for another curious dragon. Liam smiled thoughtfully as he knew he had an answer.

Liam's healing was interrupted by what he felt from the blue dragon. It was becoming clear that this blue companion wasn't going to stay with every rumbling of the storm. Liam sent calming energy to him in the hope of keeping him at peace, or some level of it anyway. Pulling the candy back out he offered it to his companions again.
Flora Khan (played by Varizella)

Somehow, Flora felt safe in the shelter. She wondered if everything was fine at her home, because she had cats waiting there for her. Hopefully the storm wouldn't last this long.

"Oh, I did not think about it yet. I just thought they would stay in the forest I guess. But you are right. We need to show them that they can't go into the city without hiding.", she answered Liams question. After the next thounder she continued: "It's so fascinating to see the weather changing around Gavin, rain turns into snow. For others this could be frightening." Flora took a mint candy this time. Then she had a weak idea: "We could try to act it out, maybe then they understand us better. Or better not, it would cause misunderstandings and confusion."

Flora really cared about both dragonlike beings and considered them friends. It was only normal that she worried a lot about their wellbeing.

The chubby little dragon charged Liam when it saw the bags once more. It shoved it's nose between him and each back, trying to weasel them from his grasp.

Still curled up in his corner, Gavin watched the three and listened to the nonsense before him. Did they know eachother? What were they saying? Using his thumb, he shoved his hood back out of his face. He jumped when he realized that Liam was closer than he thought. Tail uncurled against the wall as he watched the questions get scratched out before him.

While Flora and Liam continued to talk, he tipped his head back at for while looking at the questions. Where was he from? The image of his home returned to his mind along with everything the dragons had told him. Where was he from indeed, he couldn't answer it even for himself. The thunder shattered his thoughts while he scratched out more words. What could be read was " Frozen Mountains, glacier dragons" and surprisingly "here"
The second question was easier to answer, atleast for him. No hesitation could be found in his hands as he scratched out the answer. Once more only a few words were clear " Family, and to learn"
Liam (played by Feenat)

Liam put the bag of cherry candy down in the hope of leaving some for the others. He read as much as he could make out of Gavin's writing and smiled. "He is from the Glacier dragons. That explains the snow around him in the rain. " he looked first at Gavin with a gentle smile and then to Flora. "My mom helped a young dragon a long time ago. She has something that will help Gavin blend in. If I understand enough here, he is here to learn about us and families, " Liam's words faded with a loud clap of thunder. He looked to the door and with his heart called his mom.

She appeared in the doorway as if the wind itself blew her in. "How can I help Liam?" Liam scratched in the dirt "we can help you with that." He explained everything he had learned to his mom and when he was done took a deep breath and said, " was that other dragon a real story mom?" She smiled at them, "yes it was real." Liam stood before her and bowed slightly, "can we have some of the juice for Gavin?" She reached into a pouch on her right hip and pulled out a smaller deep blue dew drop shaped bottle and went to Gavin.

Trying not to crowd Gavin she explained to him that one dropper full from this bottle would let him look human for 6 to 8 hours if he needed it. She also explained it wouldn't help him understand anyone or work on the neon dragon. She than asked if he had any questions.
Flora Khan (played by Varizella)

Glacier dragons... Flora still couldn't really believe that these mythical creatures lived. And now, she also had the honor to get to know one of them. It was incredible.
She just watched as Liam called mother nature and explained her everything.
When mother nature finished talking, Flora exclaimed "That's great! Now we can show Gavin the city. But we still need to worry about the little dragon. Maybe we could give him something to play with." Her idea was to show Gavin the world of the humans and help him to find his place there. She was excited for it.

Seeing the bag of sweets set down, the neon dragon took a step a forward and looked at all three of them as if they would chase it away. When it realized they were more focused on Mother Nature and Gavin it took another step. Gavin on the other hand, reached up to take the bottle from Mother Nature. As she explained what it did he turned it about to look over it, tipping his head back and forth. A means for him to blend in? Was it really possible? He could learn so much if it was.

A loud paper crinkle along with Flora's excitement made him jump. The bottle was flipped about a few times before he finally caught it and looked around like a frightened deer. Munching away at the candy was the neon dragon with its head stuck in the bag. Looking the other direction he saw the other two smiling. Were they waiting for him to try out what he was given?

Gavin twisted off the lid and pulled out the dropper. The sight of it brought back memories that left him staring at for a few moments. A clap of thunder brought him back to reality. He opened his mouth and placed the stuff in before putting the lid back on. Compared to what he was he was used to from such bottles it tasted sweet.
Liam (played by Feenat)

A million thoughts ran through Liams mind but he kept his calm appearance. He knew humans to well and was concerned for his new friend Gavin. This was not the safest place for him, and Liam mentally took on the responsibility for his life.The crinkle of the bag brought Liam back from his thoughts and he couldn't help but laugh at the blue dragon. Liam reached over and pulled the bag off the little guys head and dumped out the rest of the candy from the bag onto his hand.

Mother Nature watched Gavin transform and said these last words to him. "If you need more call me from your heart, I'll be there. And the bottle is unbreakable it's from the crystal dragons. I hope you find what you're looking for. "

Turning to the little blue dragon she pulled out some sugar cane pieces and tossed it up for him to catch. As she did this she said one last thing to Liam and Flora, "remember this is limited to about 6 hours. You might get more time but don't plan on it. Watch over each other." With that she was gone.

Liam looked at Gavin and gave a thumbs up. Looked at Flora "we could say he is one of our cousins to ease people's minds." Storm was still rumbling over head but it seemed to be easing up.
Flora Khan (played by Varizella)

Flora watched Gavin transform. It was incredible. Sche stared at Gavin. Because of the drink he looked human and you would have never guessed anything different. A thounder made her nearly jump.
She answered Liam "yeah, but in this storm everyone looks the same. What are we going to do in these six hours?" Flora felt exitement rushing through her body. Her eyes lightened up. She sat straighter. An idea formed in her mind. "We could show him this part of the city and what you can do here. I would say the backery, the mall and my apartement are important. And then we built a safe space in the woods where he can live and we can always visit him." At this point she needed to take a deep breath. Her cheeks turned reddish during her monologue and she had a smile on her face. "But then again, he doesn't speak our language. We need to find another way to communicate. Maybe gesture works?" At this point she stopped again and moved her head to one shoulder "Liam, what do you think?"
Gavin (played by LunarValravn) Topic Starter

With her final words to him, Gavin looked up and nodded at Mother Nature. If this liquid could truly help him learn then he was sure he would find what he was looking for. He gave himself a quick look over when she focused on Liam. Though he appeared human, he felt no different. Sliding his hand around himself, he found his tail and grabbed it. When he brought it in front of his face his eyes got massive. It was in his hand, he could feel the scales in his hand yet he couldn't see it. He shook it a few times before hitting the top of his head with the crystalline tip; the hood flattening out with "nothing" touching it.

While he was trying to get over what the potion had done, the blue dragon chased down the sugar cane like a dog does a stick and knawed on them. Crunch, munch, nom nom, it might as well have been a bone.

Gavin looked away from his tail when he heard Flora inhale. Was she ok? Maybe she was angry? That would explain her red face but then again, she was smiling. What were they saying? Curious, he shifted to his knees and started to slink closer.
Liam (played by Feenat)

Liam was now concerned with the language problem. His gaze fell in the direction of the monastery. The monks always worked together on things like this, but Liam didn't feel he would have the chance to go get their wisdom.

Turning his attention to Flora, "If he is looking for family, would not the records from the hospital be a better start than a bakery? Or even the wisdom of the monks? " Something struck Liam from behind causing him to fall forward. He flipped around and found nothing. Realizing Gavin had moved closer he began to laugh. "Flora, he still has his tale. We just can't see it."

Sakura started playing with the blue dragon. Liam shifted his gaze to Sakura, "Sakura can stay with the little dragon here while Gavin walks through town. Then we don't have to worry about what will happen to him."
Flora Khan (played by Varizella)

Flora was listening to Liam with a serious expression on her face when he fell towards her. Understanding the cause she started giggling. It was like Mother Nature performed an invisibility charm on Gavin.

Flora then again shifted her attention towards Liam and his talking. She answered happily "That's great. They both look like they are having fun." After a short moment she added "I think we should help Gavin to learn about our world in general that's why I mentioned the bakery. But you are right, the hospital is a way better start to search for his family or maybe a local adress book to see if he recognizes a name." Flora frowned. Even if they went to a nearby hospital there still was the communication problem. They could exchange some basic written words but apart from that... "We have to trust Gavin to mimic us so we don't stand out too much." Flora mumbled.
