Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You're not the only dragon who wouldn't've killed him for it." Ramelstu protested, forgetting that he was hiding from them.

"I am Ramelstu, a dragon who's seen many more years than you could even dream of, and you would be?" he said not unkindly to Ivan.

Ivan crossed his arms over his chest again and stared up at Ramelstu. He looked so young, so how could he be so much older than Ivan himself? Dragons were odd. But the again, Elyse had said she was very old as well, and she didn't look too old. "I'm Ivan. But why should you care? I'm just a stupid little human, right?" He said sourly, looking away and glaring at the ground. Elyse tried to calm him down again, but he shook her gentle hand away all the same. "Leave me alone." He growled. Elyse's face fell for a second before she backed off, looking at Ramelstu, curious. "I am known as Elyse." She smiled, "You are younger than myself, but not by far. It is good to see another dragon out in these secluded forests." Even though she could sense he was a water dragon, he was still one of her kind. "I apologize on behalf of Ivan." It seemed she was doing it a lot these days, "He's...stressed. There's a lot of things going on with him that he doesn't understand. He also doesn't like the fact that many humans are seen as the common enemy here. But, I digress..." She said the last few parts softly so that Ivan wouldn't hear, but she needn't of worried. Ivan was already looking around and wandering off.

He came over to the patch of trees where Magomi was standing but did not notice her at first. Then, a sharp jolt came to his head and he turned, finally seeing her. He narrowed his eyes at her, glaring for a moment to let her know he had seen her, and then turned away. It seemed that there was a lot of new people to be met today...

Amara wanted nothing of conversation. She had things to do and she was going to do them. She turned from the group and began to walk. But she got the the edge of the clearing and stopped. Something about that boy was pulling her back.He need a dragons help, but not just one dragon could do it alone. Turning back she muttered to herself about stupid dragon instincts!

"Yes. It seems that many are quick to anger in these times." Elyse said softly to Ramelstu, the general atmosphere of the place very plesant. "Ice Dragon would be correct, Ramelstu. You are not far from myself as well. Water Dragon? Have the current events of the world taken you from your life in the nearby lakes?" She asked this not unkindly, one hand resting on her hip as she watched him.

Ivan drew in a breath, ready with a smart reply when he heard another voice, but he was slightly suprised. He hadn't expected the figure within the trees to say anything back to him. After all, he was being very rude to the others, and so he thought everyone would want to leave him alone. "What has me so angry?" Ivan repeated, his eyes narrowing as he sulked and kicked irritably at a few loose stones. "A lot of things. Why do you care? Why does anyone care about me? Everyone should just leave me alone." He said this to no one in particular but his eyes looked sad.

"Yeah, I'm a Water Dragon, and yeah, the current events are the reason I've left my life in the lakes, hidden deep under the waters things are even worse than out here it would seem, there is much unrest, so I had to leave lest I get caught up in this mess even more." Ramelstu said with a shrug. "I can't wait till this whole issue is over and a peaceful life under the water is possible again." he continued, gazing in the direction of one of the many lakes.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, biting back the harsh words that he had been planning to throw out at this strange woman, whoever she was. Instead, he only insisted on glaring up at her and crossing his arms, licking his lips as his gaze then returned to the trees in front of him. This woman was different. She didn't seem to patronize him. Then again, Elyse hadn't done that either, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude. It was hard, almost like something was preventing him from doing as such, or something was pulling at him, tempting him to be this rude. He thought maybe it could have been from that one night where his entire memory had been lost to him. He didn't remember who his parents were.

"I guess you don't really have to care, right?" Ivan challenged, his sullen attitude returning. "I won't ever be alone? What if I want to be?" His questioning suddenly took on a new angle as he whirled on Magomi, his intention clear. "Well, if you say you'll never be alone in the world, then how come you are?" He accused, as Elyse stood a few feet away from him, frowning as he did so. She was patient, but apologizing for every little thing he did was getting tiresome. Instead, she shook her head and decided to leave it alone.

"I'm not sure who Ivan's talking to," She said lightly, "But it seems fine. I'd leave him be." She managed a smile. Besides, the person speaking to him wasn't actually doing anything wrong, so why should she worry? Elyse was close enough to help him if the need arose. For a moment she gave a knowing look to Ramelstu. "I too wish for the day when this issue ends. However, that cannot happen if the fighting I hear about continues to happen." Amara suddenly came into view and Elyse's eyes flicked over to her. She nodded.

"I am caring for Ivan, if you can call it that. Is there something wrong?" She asked deliberately. The dragon could already sense something about the boy, and that was precisely the reason why she had decided to stick around with him until it was cured, if there was such a thing.
