[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!]

[Sorry, might be amused.]

Well lookie here. You might have met your match, Kija-kun.

[backstory]

That's impossible!

2/2

[backstory]

[ It's impossible, right!? Right....?]

[jadewine]

Is it? Someone has come along who displays such an amount of pride and excitement. It must be like looking into a mirror.

[But dear lord. Kija, you're fine by him, but the last thing he needs is another just like you. ]

It should be natural to be devoted to something. I do not mind if there are others who think like me.

[ No, he's still definitely a little jealous. ]

2/2

[backstory]

Even you are similar, Jae-Ha. You remain firm in your ideals.

[ Even though he doesn't always agree. That said, in the end, they both share a similar goal. Of course he will have Jae-Ha's back, they are comrades and friends. ]

I do not think the things you value are wrong. [ That it is bad to celebrate freedom, or find beauty in everything. He just doesn't see himself as chained. It's the opposite, everything right now is exactly what he and the many generations of Hakuryuu before him have all struggled for. ]

[jadewine]

[Sometimes there really are times where Kija says things that leave Jae-Ha to fall silent, and that he can't really disagree to. They've traveled together long enough by now that, yes, they do understand each other more. Regardless to how annoying he can get at times.

In the end, though, while knowing where Kija is coming from, he moves through the subject to something less centric upon himself.]

. . . It has me curious of what types of people there are here.

[backstory]

[ To that he can only nod. He's honestly not sure what to think, in general. ]

I did not know that there were other individuals who had similar tales to our own.

[jadewine]

[Right. The whole Completely Different World thing is still really baffling him, too.]

Well, maybe similar to a point, but yes. I wonder just how many others there are, in general.

Whether we want to or not I think we are going to find out.

[ GAH Growling, his claw fists. ]

How dare they separate us from her! If something happens...!

[ He wont ever be able to forgive himself. ]

[jadewine]

I understand how you feel- [really. maybe even more than he can say in specific] however she's still in good hands. All we can do at present is focusing on whatever way we can take to get back to her.

[backstory]

If we find the one responsible for this, it will open up a way back home, right? Let's go immediately!

[jadewine]

I imagine it would, hopefully. [His expression only darkens] It's a sad and repulsive situation for everyone here.

[backstory]

[ Don't worry he will cut the one responsible into pieces. ]

We must make the most of it in the meantime. If she arrives, too, we should be ready prepared for her.

[Don't take all the fun for yourself, now.]

Of course.

[a beat or two, before he adds (as necessary!)]

. . . and if that happens, I am sure she'll have the most beautiful set of wings of all who are here. ♥

[backstory]

[ . . . ]

The princess is always the most divine.

[ Even with wings. ]

[jadewine]

[he just chuckles]

Well, yes. I knew you'd say that.

[backstory]

Because it is the truth?

[jadewine]

I'd go with fascinating and respectable, myself, but to each our own.

[. . .Basically yes.]

[backstory]

In the end, it comes down to the same thing. That is good enough to me.

[jadewine]

[God dammit.]

. . .Yeah. I guess so.

[backstory]

And...

[ Suddenly he becomes slightly reluctant. ]

. . . I- have a favor to ask of you, Jae-Ha.

[jadewine]

[already amused. . . and also already assuming what it may be]

Oh?
