[talontrot]

Ha! Neither of those dragons could've eaten anything smarter than a pizza anyway. They were so lame they had cannons right there to hit 'em with!

[... Never mind that that was because that was the only way they could even be hit, because Kazooie's normal Egg-shooting strength wasn't enough.]

I bet most of the monsters in my world would be too fast for 'em to catch anyway.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with the dragons of your world that they're reduced to such a state?

[They sound as wimpy as Edward.]

[talontrot]

Maybe it's 'cause their heads are pretty much the size of their whole bodies?

... But their brains are obviously small 'cause they're dumb. [She shrugs.] But it's funny that way, right?

... The only cool dragon is me! 'Cause my Dragon Form is special. [And she's still a braggart.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Their heads... what... These are nothing like the dragons in Kain's world.]

Dragons are large, majestic and fearsome predators in my world. It's... very unlike those. They're very clever.

I was surprised to know that you aren't actually a dragon, though.

[talontrot]

Huh. Your dragons seem a lot cooler. I bet they'd be harder to beat - I'd like a real challenge!

[She makes a considering noise.] I dunno if I'd wanna be a dragon too long, though. I like being a breegull too. But it's fun for a little while!

... You ever been a dragon before? You seem to like 'em a lot.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

They're a great challenge, but only dragoons such as myself are the best equipped to fight them.

[He stands all rigid and prideful to that.]

I was transformed into a dragon here before. It was liberating, to have that ability of flight... one of few experiments I didn't mind.

[talontrot]

Yeah... you human-types can't fly too well, huh? Must've been cool if you never could before. [She tries to imagine what it's like. It's... difficult for her to picture, to say the least. Not being able to Fly, or at least Glide...]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I can jump, but it isn't the same as true flight... so I enjoyed every moment of it.

[And misses it, of course, even if he knows he belongs as a human.]

[talontrot]

I can fly people around, y'know. If they have a backpack on. [She says this casually, in a way that suggests she isn't quite offering but wouldn't necessarily turn it down, either.]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

...You can lift a person?

[Kain returns that with a look that's just as unassuming, not that he wants to act too excited, but he'd love it of course.]

[talontrot]

Yep! Easily! [Hey, if she could lift Eggman...]

You gotta wear a backpack first so I can get in, though. But once that's done it's no problem, when there are Flight Pads. I made sure the Malnosso-guys would give me some!

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[What an odd concept, overall. But for the sake of flying...]

That could be interesting to try.

[talontrot]

You'd want me to tote you around, huh? Well, I could do it. Especially 'cause it's the draft-thing and we all gotta help each other out. Especially heroes.

[She flexes one green, leathery wing to jab at the supply stations nearby.] If there's a backpack there, I could do this...

... Anything in this for me, though? [And she smirks slightly. Oh, Kazooie...]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Hmmph, there's always some catch isn't there...]

I don't know. What would you be interested in?

[talontrot]

[Yeeep.]

Weeeeeeell. [Thoughtfully, she brings one green leathered wing up to ponder this.] ... I don't really need anything right now, but you'd kinda owe me one.

Plus we'd gotta find you a decent backpack first. But I'd be willing. Y'know, it's for a good cause and all...

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[It never takes much to talk Kain into something, catch or no catch. This is at least a better thing than side-switching.]

I'll see what I can find.

[talontrot]

Then let's get to it! [Kazooie turns and heads off towards the supply areas, her tail whisking behind her as she runs. It shouldn't be too hard to keep up with that little green bullet...] I'm sure we'll find a backpack somewhere in all this junk.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Good thing he's able to jump, and for distance just as much as height. That lets him clear the distance as he follows along after Kazooie. He recalls there being plenty to look through, in those supply areas...]

[talontrot]

[... Kazooie is actually kind of impressed by that jumping, much as she's seen similar stuff from herself. But right now, she's locked on her target, and so the little green dragon does eventually stop at one of the supply areas.

It's a little run-down looking - everybody there is worn from days of fighting and chaos - but there are a few backpacks, including a familiar blue one.]

Awesome! There's one here already!

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Well, good, that was easily enough acquired. Kain picks up the backpack and then looks at her curiously. He doesn't know how this is supposed to exactly work, after all.]

[talontrot]

[And Kazooie actually climbs inside the backpack, fitting into what must be a ridiculously small space with no visible discomfort at all. A moment later, she pops out of the bag, seemingly settled into it.]

Right. Now just put it on and I'll take care of the rest!

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[This is so weird, but Kain is at least always up for trying out new potential battle techniques. So he puts the backpack on, awaiting Kazooie's next move.]

[talontrot]

[And the little dragon does something potentially unexpected - she Talon Trots, flipping Kain onto his back as she scuttles around. She seems to have no problem carrying him - doesn't even flinch - though he is definitely heavier than Banjo with his armour.

Hoisting him, she begins to head in the direction of the one Flight Pad the Malnosso could afford to place in this region.]

I haven't had a good Flight since we were still back on those boats!

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Kain of course had no idea it would be like this. Consider him impressed. While he can't reply just yet, he'll be sure to say as much later. He'd have never thought that the dragon- er, bird- had it in her to do something quite like this. He's glancing all around as they move along and savoring the feeling of wind rushing by, as always when in the air. He just... belongs up here.]

[talontrot]

[Free flight is easy for Kazooie, even with the heavier Kain - he's not struggling or flailing around like Eggman was, which helps. Her wingbeats are smooth, or as smooth as possible for a cartoon dragon, and her flight is almost lazy in its gentle sweeping trajectory.

She's still keeping an eye out for Third Party warriors, but luckily they seem to be leaving the two alone.]

My wings needed a good stretch! Being cooped up in that ship was boring.
