[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!]

[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!?

[action]

[jadewine]

[JFC]

How can I stand it? When I first was in that room with the stones, and tried to jump, I hardly got any further up than several meters, no matter how many times I tried. Something was taken from me. Until I can find out how to get it back, I'll be taking full advantage of these wings.

[ At least he releases him now, clawed hand lifting up to his chin ]

Come to think of it, I couldn't scale the tree either.

[ Kija no ]

[action]

[jadewine]

[Not surprising. Of course he would have tried.]

Whoever is in charge has granted us something interesting, I'll admit that. However it's still a display that they must have some immense sort of power, if they're capable of suppressing what we possessed to begin with. I have to wonder if we are the only ones who lost something.

[action]

[backstory]

[ There is nothing interesting about it. ]

We are the only ones to possess such abilities at home to begin with. You believe there could be many that do here?

[action]

[jadewine]

We've been dragged into something I initially could have only ever imagined as some sort of child's fairytale, Kija-kun. The fact that it's actually happened is enough of a reason to believe that there could be others, here, who also possess special traits or skills.

[action]

[backstory]

Then are we really so small? Or is it that the tree is actually just this big?

[action]

[jadewine]

I'm not sure, to be honest. It could be either.

[action]

[backstory]

I would prefer if it was the latter.

[action]

[jadewine]

. . . Would you be scared of all the inhabitants, were it the former, because we're the size of your beloved insects?

[action]

[backstory]

I never said that.

[ Yes, exactly that. Yes. ]

[jadewine]

[icon]

No, you definitely did.

That's not important right now!

[ With a scowl he pauses in front of him. ]

Would you help me remove the gem already? [ . . . He can pull it off with his claw. But that is definitely going to sting, and he'll still have the sap stuck to his forehead. ]

What best removes sap.

[action]

[jadewine]

[It is of the utmost importance, what are you talking about.]

Oil might, however I'm not sure where I could find any.

Re: [action]

[backstory]

You stuck it on without a removal method!?

[ JAE-HA ]

[action]

[jadewine]

The method is time. Like I said, it'll wear off within a day or so. However if you do wish for a more speedy way, you can yank it off. I only used a very small amount. The pain will be nothing at all.

[. . . Pain is relative, do not listen to him.]

[ Jae-Ha he is going to kill you or something very close to it. ]

Hold still while I glue yours to your nose.

Jae--Ha, get back here and face me...!

[ As though he can keep up with the Green Dragon though. ]

[action]

[jadewine]

[As he expects!]

Just try and catch me! You have the ability to, now! ♥

[action]

[backstory]

[ Instead, he gets whatever stray rock, pebble, tree bark or what have you in sight flung at him within the air. ]

[action]

[jadewine]

[Oh, Kija. Baby no. You seem to forget Jae-Ha's skills!

For example, oh so beautifully dodging any such attempts he may make.]
