A creek forks off of the River Usque and meanders through the forest with water's song. If one followed this creek a ways, they would stumble upon a sleepy little village long since emptied of it's occupants and now becoming one with the forest. The earth might vibrate here a little with residual mana and there may or may not be secrets to behold within this place.

Physical Description: - - - - -
HUMAN: A man looking to be around his early thirties, standing just a couple inches shy of six feet tall and weighing almost an even 200 pounds from the lean muscle on his subtly strong frame. His dark hair flows straight past his shoulders, contrasting his fair complexion which, in turn, make his dark earthen eyes stand out.
DRAGON: A massive, serpentine beast that is over a mile long from nose to tail - the underbelly plates and pair of strong horns seemingly made of ivory, while the majority of the body is armored in scales that seem to flux through several shades of blue like water. A pair of whiskers with tufted ends wave and sway from the snout that stretch out several feet. The mane around the head and along the entire length of the spine and tufting the tail end are a jet black, almost blue black due to the scales. Spaced along the endless body are a pair of forelegs and hind legs, all with accommodating paws.
- - - - -
Clothes and Equipment: HUMAN: A simple Yangjin sword sheathed in a plain, leather holster on his left hip. Common wearing attire of his home, made of soft cotton and silk, and the overlaying clothing more durable for travel and encounter.
DRAGON: Naturally equipped with a powerful jaw and strong teeth, as well as unyielding legs and claws. It also has the gripping power of a constrictor in the entire body. Also, a glass orb half filled with constantly flowing water is always in it's possession.

This place... it made his very whiskers quiver. Something about this forest had drawn him in, like it was alive. Or more than alive, as if the very air was teeming with life. It was very different from home. He had opted to will himself to a smaller form of his grand being, maybe only twenty feet or so from nose to tail, and descend to the grasses and the roots of the looming trees. The woods were warm and colorful, though nothing that matched his scales save the waters, but it made him feel at ease being surrounded by it.
The water had drawn him in this direction, and after finding the cool river quietly running by did a hum settle through his bones - it was subtle, but it was there. There was magic in this place, and he lifted his head from the water to find abandoned structures that were already being reclaimed by nature up on the short cliffs. His whiskered quivered a bit faster from the feel, and he began to leisurely pad up to the closest rocks and carefully climb them - like a elongated, blue lizard. As the head rounded the edge of the cut stone and his bright eyes found the first empty building, the neck curved easily around the cliff side and the head hovered closer even as his body remained lodged on the sheer face - sniffing calmly for whatever he could find, mana or flora or fauna, while his ears twitched around with interest. This place was fascinating.

She was running through the thicket... not because she was in danger, but because she wanted to run and feel the wind in her hair. She had been in the underbelly and it was dank and dark, and it could have killed her. Antaroo was content to hunker down in the hollow of an ancient oak somewhere ahead as owls did, and Glearsaby lazily bathed in a patch of sunlight before moving to her feet and padding out of the thicket, letting Varia know that they were upon the village.
Varia knew about the village, she had seen it many times in her rounds, though she suspected she was one of few who knew. She slowed to a walk, gulping in air as she broke out of the forest into the overgrown grass that surrounded the village. Not seeing the dragon yet, she knelt by the stream and drank of the water there. Glearsaby flopped down to sun bathe some more while Varia stripped off her outer wear to hop into the stream and wipe the sweat away.
It was a good day to be alive.

The rustle-shuffle of a creature through the trees hadn't drawn his attention, and he had continued to nose about after the buildings in earnest. He had climbed further where his forelegs disappeared over the rocks and his hind half was still latched to the stone with his tail swaying gently from side to side, unaware he was casting a gentle breeze repeatedly behind him. The splash brought his head up and on a quick swivel, looking for anything new or disturbed that caused the sound.
Somehow, he missed the human woman in the water directly below his body, and returned to slowly making his way up onto the cliff and closer to the structure nearest him - his nose huffing along as he went. He gently pressed the tip of his nose to the wall, waiting to see if he could feel a hum from the bricks.

It would be hard o miss her once she started laughing, which she did at the feeling of cold water dripping down. "Glearsaby, come." she said teasingly to the lynx, and the feline flattened her ears in response, choosing not to dignify it with a reply. She did, however, perk up at the sight of the blue tail, getting up and padding over to investigate.
Varia did not look up from her task of bathing in the cold water. She did, however, shift her viewpoint to that of the cat, who cautiously sent a paw toward the tip of the dragon's tail. "What is?" chimed Glearsaby in Varia's mind, causing the girl to turn and look around until she caught sight of what looked to be a serpent. She was not so surprised.

The laughter made his ears come up first and then his head. His long neck allowed him to swivel and bring his snout back to the edge of the cliff without having the backpedal or readjust his grip. Now he could see there was, indeed, a woman in the stream below him - bathing. A nude human wasn't anything new to him, but in his mannerisms it was rather rude to look upon someone's natural form without their permission, and certainly so if the two involved were NOT a pairing of some formal sort.
So his ears folded forward and softly covered over his eyes as he murmured an "Oh dear". Before he could ask her forgiveness, he felt something flick at the fluffy fur of his tail - making his tail twitch in response away from the paw. Now he lifted one ear up and pointed his nose down to the strange little cat that seemed to take an interest in his limb.

The Lynx arched her back and jumped backward about three or four feet, finding a bigger being than she. She scrambled away. Varia, who just witnessed her companion's plight simply doubled over with laughter. If the dragon had wanted to do harm, it would be doing harm. As of right now, it wasn't a problem. Varia left the water and quickly dried herself before pulling her clothing on. She would let the dragon be... She had not heard him speak yet, so she assumed he was just a dragon and nothing more. (As in, she didn't think he turned human.)
"Glearsaby, come now. If the dragon wanted to hurt you, he would have gotten you already." She couldn't help but chuckle as the lynx gave a wide berth to the beast in question and gave an insulted look.

The laughter drew a grin upon his scaly lips - it was a lovely thing to hear. He had anticipated someone to start screaming, but instead it was just the opposite. He covered his eyes once more after the creature left his tail alone and he heard the disturbance in the water once again. He didn't try to move, but heard her speak to the once called Glearsaby - he assumed was the feline.
Now, he cleared his throat and spoke quite clearly with a gentle but masculine voice. "Excuse me, anata, but are you decent now?" he asked, nose pointing around her general direction as if trying to find her in his blind state.

The dragon spoke. She shouldn't be surprised, she thought as she peered at him for a long moment. "A... nata?" she queried with confusion. Of course, her common tongue was stronger now that she was older, but even then she didn't understand what he said there. She understood the rest. "I am decent, though not sure why a dragon would care." The girl had a way about her, a wild look and her hair touseled by both water and wind.
Glearsaby slunk behind her mistress and gave the dragon that baleful look that cats often did when they were offended. But she stayed behind Varia.

The ears perked back and revealed the bright eyes as they settled on Varia, the long flowing whiskers flicking more in her direction just a bit as he watched her. His head came up with a majestic curve of his elongated neck like a proud beast as he pointed his nose wholly at her. "I care because where I hail from, to see a woman exposed before any joining ceremony is rather shameful. For her to bare herself before said ceremony is dishonorable, but as it is," he added with a soft chuckle, "we are not there, are we?
"I am Tao of House Ruogang, of Yangjin," he announced with a subtle shake of his head that swayed the soft fur of his mane. "And you are?"

"No, we aren't." She giggled behind her hand and then went on to say, "You will see a lot of nudity around here if you should happen to cross the paths of the nymphs that occupy this forest." Her eyes danced with mirth. "You are in a forest occupied by many creatures who care not for societal norms like clothing." And she was raised by the nymphs, so nudity didn't bother her one bit, though she had worn her underthings in the creek because it was a convenience thing.
"I am Varia of the Usque... Beast Mistress." She gave a slight bow.

A lot of... oh dear.
The name and gesture made his ears perk up in interest, and he carefully descended the cliff side to settle at ground level where she stood. He kept a respectful distance from her and the skeptical critter behind her, coiling his lengthy body around a few times and sitting up in a considerably smaller space as he looked down at her from a slight upright stance. " 'Beast Mistress', you say? What does that title mean for you, Varia-san?" he inquired, watching her with keen interest as his tail swayed like a lazy cat's tail.

She watched as the dragon moved about and tilted her head in fascination at the way the breeze moved his mane. "I can control animals, I can sometimes see through their eyes or hear their thoughts. For instance, Glearsaby isn't too sure about you. She has never seen a dragon. I haven't either, but you aren't attacking and therefore I am not afraid at this moment." Just then, a magnificent white barn owl came swooping down and landed upon her shoulder. "Ahh, Antaroo." The bird fluffed out her feathers and preened in appreciation of Varia's tone.

"You don't say," he exclaimed, his eyes settling on the new arrival upon the woman's shoulder. He leaned in and lowered his head as he carefully sniffed at the trio at a still reasonable distance. "Can you read my thoughts, Varia-san?" he asked, genuinely curious if she could hear how divine a figure she had for a foreigner, in his opinion.

"No. I can't hear thoughts. They can speak to me through their thoughts, yes, but I cannot know their every thought and feeling." She looked down to the lynx who was now laying on the ground, sprawled out lazily like any cat but still giving baleful looks to the dragon. "Yes, I know he looks frightening to you, Glearsaby, but if he had wanted to harm you, he would have." The cat looked up at her in annoyance and then got up and slunk into the forest, though not far. The owl looked at the dragon with curiosity, then fluffed up her feathers and looked happy for a moment. Varia gave a chuckle and said, "She admires your color."

His dark hair flows straight past his shoulders, contrasting his fair complexion which, in turn, make his dark earthen eyes stand out.
DRAGON: A massive, serpentine beast that is over a mile long from nose to tail - the underbelly plates and pair of strong horns seemingly made of ivory, while the majority of the body is armored in scales that seem to flux through several shades of blue like water. A pair of whiskers with tufted ends wave and sway from the snout that stretch out several feet. The mane around the head and along the entire length of the spine and tufting the tail end are a jet black, almost blue black due to the scales. Spaced along the endless body are a pair of forelegs and hind legs, all with accommodating paws.
- - - - -
Clothes and Equipment: HUMAN: A simple Yangjin sword sheathed in a plain, leather holster on his left hip. Common wearing attire of his home, made of soft cotton and silk, and the overlaying clothing more durable for travel and encounter.
DRAGON: Naturally equipped with a powerful jaw and strong teeth, as well as unyielding legs and claws. It also has the gripping power of a constrictor in the entire body. Also, a glass orb half filled with constantly flowing water is always in it's possession.

"Ahhhhh. I imagine that comes in quite handy."
Tao watched the cat saunter off into the trees with a soft chuckle, finding it rather hilarious as he heard Varia's end of the conversation between them. The note from the fellow flying creature made him sit up a little higher and a watery sheen like a calm pool surface in the sun rippled across his scales. "Well, please tell your friend that I appreciate the compliment. Although, my colors pale in comparison to her feathers - I imagine they are softer than my mane," he replied, leaning his snout in a litter closer to the two of them.

"It does." The owl could understand what was being said and fluffed her feathers some more, preening at the compliment and twisting her head this way and that like owls did. "She says to thank you," said the beast mistress. The owl then took off in flight to follow after Glearsaby and tease the cat some. Upon closer inspection, Tao would probably notice that Varia was in her early twenties if her looks indicated anything. She tilted her head and squinted a little at him. She was trying to figure him out.

Tao watched the bird take her leave, a rumbling sound in his being like a deep cat's purr sounding momentarily from the thanks that she left in her wake.
His ears perked up and pointed at Varia as she peered at him, and he leaned in even closer with his head coming lower to the ground to level with her eyes. He sniffed at her in his own curiosity as his flowing pair of whiskers flicked around his ears. "Why do you look at me so, Varia-san?" he asked. "Am I as strange to you as you are to me?" he added with a subtle grin tugging at his scaly lips.

"You are... There is more to you than meets the eye, is there not?" she countered, meeting his gaze. She couldn't put her finger on what "more" was though, but with her being in tune with the world of beasts, she could see what others could not even if she could not identify what exactly it is that she was perceiving. She really couldn't figure him out. He was the first dragon she had encountered thus far; did all dragons have the capability of speech or was she able to hear him the way she was able to hear other beasts? She bit her lip in the meantime.

Tao could almost see her mind turning behind her eyes and it was a bit entertaining, he had to admit. Her question made his grin widen and a gentle chuckle rumbled in his throat. Somehow, he seemed to settle even more comfortably on the ground before her with his neck arching up still and his head poised level with her own.
"I would say so, yes," he replied. "From my home, it isn't common that I would have a conversation with a being like yourself so lightly. It's actually quite nice. I am a guardian deity, a protector, of Yangjin - as are all the dragons of Yangjin." He would lean in just a bit more and lower his voice before muttering, "though I would wager every scale of my body that some are not of noble intent as they should be." He chuckled and sat back again. "I digress a bit. Again, normally I would not interact with humans so casually. We are more silent watchers from the clouds, the trees, the fire, the water - it's not uncommon that we fill the skies and yet none would know."
His head swiveled a bit as he looked himself over for a few moments before looking to Varia again. "Is this form imposing for you, Varia-san?"
