Yuri
|Yuri realized she had gone, and felt a familiar yet burdensome friend; loneliness. Sighing, his head dropping, he padded down the street and into the forest where h sat down at the edge of the glade. Casting out with his mind, he could tell the town had become alive with all kinds of dragons and the like. In fact, he could feel someone else who seemed to be lonely, and pretty hungry. But yet another familiar friend visited him, indecision. he could go help that dragonet he sensed, or he could go straight to Aether, because he could feel her too. Flipping between the tow decisions, he finally decided on one, so he headed back into town

Blur, are you open to interaction//? or Aether, did you want me to come back 2u?//


Cotoonmouth
|Hearing the she approaching, he thought over his decisions very carefully. Dry swallowing once, he eased himself back into his chair, and spat out a yellow phlegm like spit into the empty bottle. With a dramatic sigh after he heard all that she had to say, which wasn't much at all, Cotton looked up at her and stayed silent for many heartbeats. Not an emotion crossed his face; his eyes, cold and calculating. If it came to a fight, he could probably pump her full of lead before she moved. But it was hard to tell with non-humans. She could take his head off before he cleared leather. Better back off a little. |"My business was none of your business before you made it hun. I was busy, you see. So, you could fuck off, yeah? Although I am glad you made it short, cause I ant no purdy talker."| Rasing a single eyebrow, he flashed a devilish grin. It wasn't hard to wonder why he was named after one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, he seemed to have some sort of precense. Both dangerous and strangely alluring, like his namesake hunting a mouse, or like he was constantly playing with you.|

Aether
(noo….i’ll come back to you)
Noticing the time that passed, she murmured a goodbye to the fluffy things. Slightly panicking, she looked around for Yuri. When she did find Yuri, she nearly tackled him, but controlled herself and gave him a grin.

Fuyumi
She gave herself an inner sigh. Another one of these? Give a human a gun and some skill, and they can start getting hotheaded…. At least this one seemed to have some skill to back it up. In a calm voice, she said “It is my business. Well, some of it is. If you are a danger, then it’s my responsibility to make sure you aren’t one anymore.” She spread out her fingers. “Just the general idea…”

Yuri
|He headed back into the city intent on searching for Aether, but quickly found himself distracted at a cat that was crossing the street. Then, he was distracted by a food cart where he got himself a fried banana. Chewing on it as he wandered through the streets, he got plowed into from the front, which caused his to drop his banana. He stared at it for a second, before blinking up at the dragon in front of him. |"Oh, sorry s- I mean miss Aether, I didn't see you there. Sorry I took so long, but I have gotten what I needed... Are you situated as well."| Sighing, he deductively decided NOT to cry over spilled milk, or spilled banana in this case. Smiling up at Aether for a second, he suddenly started looking over her shoulder. |"Seems to be a lot of magical energy located over there, starting to make me anxious..."| He mumbled to himself. then suddenly, he winced and turned around, staring off into the forest. Yuri could feel the tree on fire, he could hear the screams of it's soul. A single tear rushed out of his eye, and he let it hang there a second before wiping it away.|

Cottonmouth
|"Love, I am danger. I would even say dangers my middle name, but that would be a lie. And I would love to see you try and make me...what did you say... "not an issue anymore." Look, hun, you aint an issue to me unless you give me a reason to make you my issue. I'm here for a drink, and maybe for a job."| Flicking ashes on her shoes/feet/whatever she's wearing, he turned around and leaned over the bar again. Puffing on the cigar for a few seconds, he looked back. |"You still here?"| Something was making Cotton uneasy. Maybe it was the appearance of yet another weird looking gal, or maybe it was the fact that his usual bluff wasn't sending this one with her tail between her legs. The longer this went on, the weaker his position became, and Cotton knew it. In a few seconds, he would have to take some measures. He could shoot that lamp over her head, and it would cause an adequate distraction for him to get away. Instead of doing thee rookie mistake of looking over at it, he drew his eyes in another direction. Appearing to stare at a window, but really inspecting the other she. He wasn't going to escape yet, but it never hurt tohave a plan.|

Tumble
|Snorting again, Tumble spat flames at the nearest tree, and watched it go up in flames. Huffing, he spat and turned to take a few dregs from the river. Unfurling his wings, he took to the sky and began circling the town again. From the ground, he appeared no larger than a casual hawk. Sighing, he spat out another flame, which ruined the whole "hawk" thing. Looking down, he saw that the bar cotton went into was still not on fire, so obviously Cotton was fine. Sure enough, he felt a mental pressure a few moments later, and it was telling him to be ready. Or at least that's what he thought it said, it was a little vague. Growling at the lack of any good information, Tumble cursed vehemently at Cottons name, and his whole disgusting family. Just thinking about them brought fire to his belly. But seconds later, it cooled. He never was really angry at Cotton, in fact, the young master had saved him multiple times, just like the other one did. Sighing, he resigned to wait.|

(forevertail’s open for interactions!)
(and so is beryl, ofc, if anyone wants to interact w her)
Beryl

---

Beryl pulled a small, purple velvet drawstring satchel from her cloak’s left pocket once she noticed the bartender approaching her. “A small Sauvignon Blanc, please.” She asked with a kind grin, seizing a handful of golden coins from the bag and handing it to the bartender. The person peered at her confusedly, but nodded and went to go fulfill her order.

Aether
She raised an eyebrow “ ‘S-? Do I look like a sir to you?” she joked. Noticing the tear in his eye, she asked “What’s happened? Is someone getting hurt?” She turned around toward the magical energy. “Do you want to go check it out?” Then, mentally noticing the amount of questions she asked, she said “How many questions have I asked…?”

Fuyumi
She stared at him, wondering if she should give him a slap for good measure. Or you know, maybe kick him a few times? Her wings twitched just once, and she started to focus on her opponent, just in case. After all, it wouldn’t do to let him slip away. She unconsciously started to make the air a little colder, causing frost to form on the glass and some of his clothes. Not just fogginess, but ice. In response to Beryl, her fellow guardian, she gave her a tail flick. Now, what could he use to distract her? He didn’t know Beryl, there was a glass, and he had a gun. Now, what would her shoot? Honestly, any glass would work. Ignore the sound of glass and changes in sight. In a relaxed tone of voice she said “Why wouldn’t I be here? What, are you scared of an assassin appearing behind you or something?” She shook the ash off her foot, and nearly lunged across the table and grabbed his collar. But, never took to be too suspicious. In a calm voice, she said “You’re making yourself an ‘issue’ to be checked on. Look, I don’t care if you’re an assassin by trade, or a hitman. The moment you enter this place, this sanctuary, I check on you. After all, we can’t be having any dragon or fae hunters here, can we?”

Blur
Blur noticed a particular few feathers, the wonderful browns and blacks were particularly nice looking to them. If they could get their claws on one it’d make a particularly good scam. Some fire and paint could go for a believable phoenix feather. A sly grin lifter their snout as they approached, crouching towards the ground as they tried to sneak a bite onto a few feathers. It’s be tough with the fabric covering most of them, but it was worth a try.

I know Kestrel’s wings are hidden but for the sake of interaction I hope it’s fine with you))

Kestrel whipped around and opened her wings and held them out, trying to scare off blur " excuse me?!" She hissed loudly " what do you think you are doing?" Kestrel had a large frown and raised a single eyebrow, clearly not keen on been snuck up on

The small ears on the side of the head dropped a bit as they looked up to the clearly angry creature towering over them. They quickly went to growling but remembered they were the ones causing trouble. Though they’d never been caught before, they were in no condition to fight, so sympathy was their best option. They acted as if they were limping and muttered up the most sad- sounding voice they could. “I’m sooooo sorry, I’m just so poor and hungry. Your feathers are magnificent. They’d make some nice money.” They said, sadness leaving their voice as they kept talking before once again trying to jump at Kestrel’s wings.

Kestrel jumped into the air in a flutter, clearly angry now. She looked around for forevertail before reaching for her sword that was held at her side . " As a guardian for this land I command you to stand down"

They huffed to themselves, ignoring a few confused mummers from the few others who saw. “Ok, ok I’ll stand down.” They were a bit bummed out, but once again caught an eye for the sword Kestrel held. And it was obvious. “But.. I really am poor, and hungry.” They continued, “I could use a little help ya know.” They stood as tall as they could, for a teenage dragon they were quite small. And the nubs that replaced their wings didn’t do much.

Yuri
|Yuri was frozen in place, trapped deep in the wailing tree's soul. He could feel the crisping of the leaves, the scorching of the bark, and the dripping of the sap as if it was his own flesh and blood. With a scream, he dashed off at run. His speed was amazing, simply awesome (as in invoking awe). For his speed while running was the same as another flying. Reaching the tree in about a minute, he immediately worked to knock the tree over. Repeatedly ramming his shoulder into the bark to push it into the river; once, twice, trice, again and again and again, until with a mighty groan, the tree began it's final descent. With a -fwoosh- it descended in a cascade of bubbles and steam. Gasping for air, Yuri did a quick check to make sur nothing else was aflame. It was safe. Sitting on the edge of the bank, he let a few tears for the elder of the forest. It had lived generations, only to be ignited by some...some FOOLISH dragon. Because it had to have been an unnatural cause, he could smell the dragon breath thick in the air. He could also feel the trees' confused soul floating above where it once stood. Entering it's mind, he helped it calm down and escape, still crying. though now with rage or sadness, he knew naught.|

Cottonmouth
|"Look, honey, I don't need your services, and I aint some pup to be checked on, ya here?"| Wiping the ice from his clothes, he appeared unalarmed, but inside he was panicking a little. From the outside, he appeared the same, if slightly more sarcastic, however, now he was beginning to have second thoughts about his position here. So she was a magic user, that means she probably could either dodge or block his bullets. With a sneer, he thought about what would happen if that ice reached Spitter. |"I don't need no whore, so you can take your little purdy self and get the hell out of here, ok? Im going to give you three seconds before I give you a good introduction to Spitter ere."| Clearing letter within a blink of an eye, he twirled his big iron and its six-inch barrel around his finger. With his other hand, he dropped more ash on the floor, then threw the but into the same glass he spat in earlier. It sizzled with an ugly smell, and a waft of smoke flew into the air.|

Tumbleweed
|He spotted some movement at the edge of the forest and relayed this information to Cotton with a thought. Flying a littlebit closer, he saw it was some ugly looking deer thing who was trying to stop the fire he set. (Huh. What a fucking imbecilic, It's just a tree.) Snorting, he flew back up and returned to watching for Cotton.|
