[Quite frankly, the whole of this situation has Jae-Ha seething. This tree - this world - is nothing but a glorified cage. As pleasant as some of it may appear, there's no saving the fact that he's locked in, not to mention other people, as well. At the least, he seems to have caught on to that ray of sunshine, which he uses, but it's not as though it continues to erase all of the bitterness that comes with being here.

But nevertheless. —He seems more at ease, than not, when appearing.

. . . A certain White Dragon, though, just to the side of the screen, does not.]

This amber is very impressive, really. To think that conversing across distances can happen instantly was even remotely possible. . .

But ah- More importantly! My name is Jae-Ha, and I'd like to most humbly offer myself to assist anyone who would like a few lessons in flight, as I'm sure that coordination might be—

[He starts, only to be (rudely!) interrupted.] Jae-Ha! [It's clear the frantic, white haired dragon in the background is not at all happy with the situation, glaring at Jae-Ha from behind.] Your 'services' are hardly what is important right now. Get this off of me already!!

[That being Kija's gem is smack dab in the middle of his forehead, courtesy of some wonderful tree sap, therefore forcing the presence of his wings.]

Don't worry, it'll loosen up within a day. [or something]

That's too long! [He practically despairs.] I- I cannot stand to have these horrible things to be around for another second! AH-! [Nooooo] The Dragon Claw is sticky with sap now, too!

[Jae-Ha just lets out an exasperated sigh] They're a beautiful set of wings, Kija-kun. Now you can fly without any of my assistance, even. Take advantage of it. Your complaining will get you nowhere.

I REFUSE!! [Before Jae-Ha can do much of anything, then, a white scaled dragon claw reaches out and all but grabs his arm to get his full attention - and hopefully succeed in removing the stone, leading the feed to cut off short.]


[ooc: replies will come from either or both!]

Comments

[magus_knight]

[There is a lot of amused giggle coming from the amber and a blonde that looked like she was trying to not burst out laughing.]

[backstory]

[There is so much that is not funny about this. SO MUCH. Only to Kija Although he's still more frustrated with his 'grotesque' transformation at the moment. He shudders.]

I can feel them move when I do...! [It's so unsettling.]

[magus_knight]

Yeah, they're kind of a part of you right now. [giggle] Transformation magic and all. You'll get used to 'em eventually.

[jadewine]

No need to hold it in like that. The giggling of a cute girl is much more melodious and pleasing to the ear than my friend's complaints, I must say.

[magus_knight]

[Another giggle before Marisa flashed him a grin.]

Mm. Sweet talker.

( amber )

[knight_king]

[She lifts an eyebrow at the scene, wondering if the second man knew he was displayed so openly through the slip of amber.]

Dragon claw?

[Everything else seemed too trivial to be addressed.]

( amber )

[backstory]

[ Pretty much exhausted with things at the moment. How he has energy after attempting to scale the tree (and failing) to avoid his stone is a wonder. ]

Fortunately it appears to be safe and in working order, despite the evil contained within these stones.

( amber )

[knight_king]

[ His plain fatigue makes her face soften faintly. ]

I see. Perhaps you should rest soon.

[ She pauses before she asks this. She keeps Rin's and Shirou's best interest in her mind. ]

Why do you call it "dragon claw"?

( amber )

[jadewine]

[It's more face-palming than eyebrow raising, but still. Kija definitely knows.]

His right hand is, yes.

[There's just a touch of hesitation within the answer, though really, he's not sure if it's worth the effort to hide things, here. Not when there are a countless different sorts of individuals, and, seemingly unique skills. He hinted at his own, already.]

( amber )

[knight_king]

[Arturia perceives that hesitation, she would not blame him if he does not answer her or if he wishes to keep this hidden. Though, she wants to ask and wants to know.]

I offer no harm. I only wish to know why is it called that way. [Some people she knows name their attacks or abilities after objects or creatures they resemble rather than what they truly are.]

[dragonblood]

[ the white-haired one is certainly...loud. it's kind of startling but she adjusts to it long enough to address the amber and the green-haired man behind it, as she caught on to something interested he said. such unusual colors and attire, but that's to be expected when the tree is apparently kidnapping people from different worlds.

ninna, her miniature crystal dragon, is wrapped around her shoulders today and peering too closely into the amber, and riona is quick to push her face away to see better. she's getting used to having her out in the open, but it still feels strange. ]

How well can you fly? How much coin do you want for it?

[ fulfilling the latter might be a problem for her. ]

[jadewine]

[He, too, is distracted initially, with the sight of the small dragon (is it really that?). He's never seen an actual one before.

But nevertheless, rather than question, for now there's more important things.]

Incredibly so. I have plenty of years under my belt, and possess absolute control. I seem to have more of an issue with my normal skill, here, however I don't mind so much; I can work just fine with these wings we've all been granted.

[Well. It's more so that he's jumping, only to such an extent that appears like flying.

But anyway!]

Ah- You need not pay a cent. I don't claim to know how the monetary system works here, but even so, I couldn't possibly ask such a thing from you, young miss. There's much pleasure in flight, and I can teach you that.

[backstory]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ]

A dragon...?

[ Never mind everything else she has said that is a dragon, right? ]

[nullity]

[ what is this? that poor man with his gem stuck on his face looks upset about something, and the other man doesn't seem to be helping him because the cries and yelling continue. nai watches with wide eyes before taking on a bit of a determined look and bringing the amber close to his face to say: ]

No, fighting isn't good! No more fighting!

[backstory]

[ He's still panicked and furious over the gem stuck to his forehead, and the wings on his back but his attention turns to the Amber mirror like object, even from behind Jae-Ha, in the background. ]

If I wanted to fight him seriously, he wouldn't be moving. [ Or he'd jump, or... even worse now, fly away. That or for some reason enjoy it??? That he still doesn't understand. ]

All I desire is the removal of the gem.

[jadewine]

[Oh, boy.]

It's as Kija-kun says. It would be a huge mess were we truly to fight each other.

[Being cut by that claw would only be good in very small amounts!]

[monster_san]

Ah, so you two have previous experience in flying? It's very generous to offer assistance to your fellow newcomers.

[JUST IGNORING THE FIGHT GOING ON THERE YUP.]

[backstory]

I have no such experience.

[ That is the Green Dragon's thing. Kija is perfectly content with his claw. ]

And if I did, it would be much more regal than insect wings!

[jadewine]

[A FANTASTIC IDEA.]

Only myself, actually, however I have carried Kija around several times before.

But of course I must offer. I'd very much love to meet each and every one of the ladies in this world, and thought it would be a wonderful way to do so. However in general, it's no fun to collide into things, and as I had been about to say in the earlier transmission, I can only imagine that coordination could be a difficult thing to be able to control for those who have never flown before. If I can assist in that, well, I'm sure others might benefit.

[scionoflegend]

Dragon Claw... [Ooh, Owain likes the sound of that. Everything else goes in one ear and out the other once he hears it. He looks as though he's trying to peer around Jae-Ha.] What weapon has the honour to bear such a mighty name? Come, you must show it to me!

[backstory]

[ Ah, well, yes, he can pause a moment to share because he is stupidly proud to process the power of the White Dragon. Never mind that if there was ever a cool image of him, the gem plastered to his forehead might... mar the illusion. And maybe the tears in his eyes.

Amazing how fast they dry up though.]

The Dragon Claw is a sacred power to which I was born with, bestowed upon one of the four Dragon Warriors. It's a special ability with the power to protect our master.

[action]

[jadewine]

[The amber slice is the first to go, as he's all but dragged off.]

H-Hey! Will you just— [prying on that damn claw] You're hurting me, cut it out!

[No, continue! ♥]

[action]

[backstory]

[ Good luck with that, Jae-Ha. ]

Only once you agree to get this thing off of me! H-How can you stand it!?

[thunderbeast]

Dammit, I missed it.

[He'd hoped to be there to witness the White Snake's freak out. He supposes over video would have to do.]

[jadewine]

[sorry, just going to be surprised]

Hak?
