[Off in one of the larger areas of the Dressing Room, there's a rather loud splash, followed by a sizable tidal wave - the sort you get when something big is forced to crash land in a body of water.

In this case, 'something large' would be about 80 feet of dragon.]

((Yeah, so I have weird AU ideas sometimes :|a))

[ There was the figure of a large man on the back of the dragon -- the harness strapped onto it should make it obvious that it had an owner, at least. It wasn't wild, and it was because the Captain made sure it wouldn't bite, unless he ordered it to.

He didn't expect rain today, and neither did he expect to land in a room, one that once looked like a place to rest, relax and rejuvenate. It was a mess with the flood. ]

Where have you taken me?

Somewhere damp.

[And if he's having to wade through the water, Xaldin may well want to stay on his back.]

Look for dry land.

[ That was an order. He enjoyed rain, but not the part where it floods. Infact, he faced upward to let the water hit his face. It was relaxing. ]

I'll see what I can find.

[And with that he starts slowly picking his way through the floodwaters.]

Don't disappoint, Xigbar.

[He grins at that.]

You know I won't.

Don't start now.

[ It isn't seen, but there's a small grin on his face as well. Now, let's see how long it'll take the dragon to look for somewhere less wet. He expects results, of course. ] Is there any familiar scent?

[Well, he's considering going for a swim if the water gets any deeper, but he can do that later.]

Mostly it smells like water. But there might be something, yeah.

Check the next room. Perhaps there will be familiarity.

[ The door was too small for a dragon. The answer should be obvious what to do.</small. ]

[He grumbles as he peers down at the half-submerged door - and then warps. Other side of the door, get.

And it's still flooded, but there's a hill visible in the distance. The top is well above the water line, so dry land.]

[Whoa that big splash got her attention so here come a blue-haired girl of about fifteen in drenched pink pajamas, and this is relevant to her interests because if she's not reading martial arts history books or science books, she's reading books on dragons.]

Oh my God....

[The dragon cranes his neck to peer down at her. His eyes are an interesting shade of golden-yellow if she's paying that much attention.]

You like?

[Desiree nods emphatically and giggles.]

Yes! Um..can I pet you?

[figures asking is good, she's afraid he'd bite her hand off otherwise.]

As if I'm gonna say no.

[Permission: granted. Also, yes, he does sound like Xigbar, if you transposed his voice down a good several octaves.]

[Desi splashes a bit closer and reaches up to pet Xigbar's nose. No she wouldn't recognize his voice because she's kept to herself a lot after she was tortured and hasn't run into any Xigbars anyway. When she speaks, her voice is soft and full of awe.]

I've never seen a real dragon before...what's your name? I'm Desiree.

[ Xaldin sees it too. He doesn't need to say a word, right? ]

[He feels rather like one might expect a damp lizard to feel like, albeit a slight bit warmer than most.]

The name's Xigbar.

[Not in the least, and with a bit of work, Xigbar manages to get back into the air. Water take-offs aren't his favorite thing.

To the hill!]

[It's like she's totally forgotten about the flood...untill a stray wave makes her almost lose her balance and get some water up her nose.]

Oh um...nice to meet you, Xigbar. Sorry for the mess, you got here right when this place decided to be a pain in the rear.

[She looks around for a door to someplace with enough high ground that they can get out of the water, she's probably going to end up with a hell of a cold once his is over....]

[He shrugs. Or... presumably shrugs. He certainly moves his wings in a shrug-like gesture anyway.]

Enh, I can deal. Might be tricky finding a place to sleep but...

[Really, the water's only up to about mid-way between his knee and his shoulder.]

They don't last very long anyway, either way, longest anything like this has lasted was about three days. \

[Not remembering that aphrodisiac cupcake incident with a friend of her, hellllll no XD]

I'd hope something like this wouldn't last.

[ Xaldin made sure to hold on tight. He knew Xigbar would listen, but that never meant he was lax about the situation. They weren't in France, the rest of the troops were gone -- they needed a place to stay. Somewhere high and dry, out of the rain that is.

He assumed they were in the outside world, of course. ]

[Well, Xigbar can take care of the dry at least, provided that Xaldin doesn't mind sleeping under his wing. As for the rest... it smells a little bit like home, but he has no idea where they are or where any of their fellow soldiers are.

Or even where the nearest covert is. Still, he makes a good pace, and within short order he's coming in to land on the hill.]

Well yeah, that was my first thought too when I first got here and was stuck in one.

[Still in awe, but looking for someplace higher to get on so she doesn't end up sicker than she knows she will once this is over.]
