[G-guess who's back, bitches.]

Freedom:

1. the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint
2. the power to determine action without restraint
3. political or national independence
4. personal liberty, as opposed to bondage or slavery

What a foreign concept for many. The word cannot be defined if individuals never truly suffer the experience.

[And with that said...]

Dragon.
You had words. I shall hear them.

I see then.

[Now the device matters little because Angelus speaks to him via their connection. Her voice reverberates in his mind.]

I wish to show you the highest of honors, Caim. Understand this, for what I tell you is not to be given lightly. It is for you and only you.

Do you understand?

Then call me Angelus, at least in this manner.

That is my name. You are the first of your kind to know it and the last of your kind to know it. Remember it well.

Me? I was going to a class.

[personal profile] ends_in_ashes 2012-03-29 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not. It seems you mortals love enforcing stupid rules that say I ought to.

[Required attendance is dumb.]

Shall we meet somewhere? If you are so desperate to see me.

[She sounds amused.]

The courtyard then.

[That's all that needs to be said. She's true to her word too. She circles the courtyard a time or two before she goes to land, weight shaking the nearby buildings as she touches down.]

[The dragon spots him as he makes his way over, lowering her head. This is the first time they've gotten to greet one another not behind bars. She isn't about to go gooshy or sentimental but well... it's good. It's very good.

Angelus makes a contemplative rumbling sound, then replies aloud.]


What could be more superior to this form?

[Though... her voice is a touch chagrined.]

I must admit that a human guise does have it's own advantages, of course.

[She pauses a moment there, then questions while considering the man with one golden eye.]

And what of you, hm? Do you prefer the dragon to the woman? Or the woman to the dragon?

[personal profile] ends_in_ashes 2012-03-30 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. Perhaps not.

[And she says nothing more on it. If she was looking for any sort of praise, she's not seeking it that badly.]

[Just take the wind out of her sails, why don'tcha? The pat is bad enough. She ought to be ashamed for enjoying those so much. Perhaps her one regret the last time they had met is she hadn't been able to receive this 'warming' of his.

But then he has to make sense and in a surprisingly nice way too.

The red dragon gives a low grumble that bears no real venom to it, her next breath an amused one as she lays her chin against the ground before him.]


You make me glad I do not wear such a guise at present. Foolish man.

[She's not elaborating.]

[Angelus doesn't really look pleased until Caim's settled on her back, arms wrapped around her neck. Then she allows herself to look content. And she even grumbles her reply in a milder tone.]

I am not.

[Her back rises and falls with her sigh of a breath, neck still beneath him. Scaled as she is, dragons seem to be somewhat like snakes. She's leathery and soft to the touch, warm beneath that. Her voice reverberates through her throat as she speaks.]

We dragons are a solitary sort. We know one another and respect one another, there is little else beyond this though. Before I was taken by your troops and we began our travels, I had not spoke with a human in many, many years. I had no spoke with others of my kind in just as long.

[Another sigh of breath.]

I have grown used to company, I think.

[personal profile] ends_in_ashes 2012-04-03 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh now that earns him a good, rumbling laugh.]

More of a dragon, hm? Well. If you wish it, Caim, I am sure you will be able to succeed. In some very small way.

And we both know how you would have done - very poorly. It is not something I would blame you for though. To fight such a battle on one's own, even with troops, is something of a stretch.

Regret?

[The dragon turned her head enough to look back at the man clinging to her neck. Quiet for a moment, she offered:]

Perhaps. If I do, it is regret for what I once knew as fact, what I once felt. There is nothing left behind that one does not feel some regret for leaving.
