-T I M E . S K I P-

In the early hours of the morning, when it was coldest, darkest and quietest. The torches had sputtered out but there was the soft crunch of feet on frost in the darkness

[Light]

The dragon stays still, one eye cracking open at the sound of approaching steps.

[CrimsonMoon]

A figure crouches next to him, long black hair brushing the ground as a small and trembling hand rests on a shackle

[Light]

Opening his other eye the dragon turns his head to look at her, its reptilian eyes staring into her face. Normally he could have melted the shackles away but... it was just too cold--he couldn't summon up enough energy to do so.

[CrimsonMoon]

A drop of warm water wiggles into the shackle, there is a click and the shackle falls away, the figure moving onto the next shackle. The figure coughs and shivers

[Light]

The dragon raises its tail a bit and moves its leg slowly, trying to regain movement from it being still so long.

[CrimsonMoon]

The figure moves onto each of the shaxkles until he is free. Te figure steps away, hugging the thin cloak around her tightly

[Light]

Feeling the last shackle fall off, the dragon sits on its hind legs and rolls its neck as the muscles stretch and pop back into place.. .all the time keeping a careful eye on the figure that had helped him...

[CrimsonMoon]

" i didnt.... Want anyone to die... Including him..." Se says in a small voice, moving toward the door

[Light]

The dragon's lip twitches as he watches her leave. Spreading his wings out he makes a sound that sounds like a sigh.

[CrimsonMoon]

Koi retreats back to the inn, coughing but muffling it with her hand, she sneaks past the keeper, hides in the stairwell and sneaks back into her room where she huddles beneath the blankets

[Light]

After a few minutes, a shrill shriek pierces the air as the dragon springs into the air, the guards downstairs running outside just in time to see a black dot fade into the distance.

[CrimsonMoon]

Koi glances out the window and sniffs happiy, covering his nose to tru and warm up faster

[Light]

T.I.M.E S.K.I.P

The dragon, now in his human form had taken the image of a worker in the inn and was watching. He was curious... he wanted to know why she didn't want the pig to die.

[CrimsonMoon]

Ferris sat at a table, insistig only to have Koi serve him(possibly to show how wealthy he was most likely), so that she did. She smiles and laughed and joked witht he other workers, her personality radiant and bubbly though fading as soon as she returned to Ferris..

[Light]

Resting his chin in the palm of his hand he frowns. Why not try and poison his food? At least SPIT in it; but she didn't seem to do any of the things he sure as hell would do in her position. Why why why?

[CrimsonMoon]

When she goes back to the kitchen this time, her eyes were tearing up and she was a red mark on the side of her neck, but still she forced a smile even as the barmaids start making threats to kick him out, she shakes her head and smiles, the scales around her eyes glittering sadly. Her green eyes find him but quickly look away..

[Light]

"...." The boy picks up one of the plates slyly, and exits the kitchen to enter the dining room where Ferris and some of his guards were eating.

[CrimsonMoon]

Ferris glaces up and growls," What the hell is this? I ordered that goddamn girl to serve us not some anorexic b*stard!"

Koi watches him leave, wiping her eyes and rubbing her injured neck

[Light]

"This anorexic b*stard..." his low, dark and obviously unused voice croaks, "is f****ng tired of your fat pompous a**," he snaps, before the plate drops into the mans lap, the hot contents seeping into his skin (with maybe a little bit of added dragon fire heat).
