✧ claws and fangs

[quicksilverwings]

[Ciar has been living on the edge of town for a while. Nobody, at least, messes with the dragon. He pays no attention to whatever the rumors might say about him. He just wants to mind his own business.

It's a nice, quiet little existence, if a little bit of a lonely one. At the moment, he's curled up with a blanket and a good book, listening to the rain outside. Though a bit of noise that is very much not the rain catches his attention, making him look up.]

[Okay, that explains a lot. He makes a little hum of acknowledgement, pulling on a pair of disposable gloves before he starts working.

He carefully treats the injury, occasionally checking how Kakavasha's doing, and when he isn't, singing something softly in the draconic language in an effort to soothe the werewolf a little.]

[takesitall]

[It works, and by the time he's done Kakavasha is relaxed as much as he can be with his head on his paws.]

Dragon?

[quicksilverwings]

Yeah.

[Now that he's done, he gives a gentle scratch behind Kakavasha's ears.]

My name's Ciar. [A pause.] Want me to carry you somewhere a bit warmer in here?

[takesitall]

[A wolfy nod.]

Cold.

[quicksilverwings]

Alright.

[He'll carefully pick Kakavasha up--noting with a worried frown how skinny the werewolf is--and carry him away from the cave's entrance.

He gets to the part of the cave that connects to his tiny little lair proper, shifting Kakavasha in his arms.]

My lair's just in here, it'll be a lot warmer than the rest of the cave... plus I've got food in there, too.

[takesitall]

Food? Meat?

[His tail wags a little.]

[quicksilverwings]

Yeah, plenty of it.

[He smiles a little, getting the two of them into the lair. Kakavasha is set down on some blankets while Ciar goes to the kitchen area to grab the meat.]

[takesitall]

[Kakavasha transforms after being set down, mostly because it's easier to eat with hands.]

I'm human, now.

[quicksilverwings]

[Ciar returns with the meat for both of them-- it's been smoked, to make sure it keeps.]

Here.

[... Oh, the werewolf is a cute boy, oh no-]

[takesitall]

Thanks.

[A cute naked boy, though he did cover himself with the blankets.]

Kakavasha.

[quicksilverwings]

[Ciar is trying very hard to not think much about the naked part.]

Ciar. [A beat.] Oh, right, I said that earlier.

[He laughs a little as he sits down, shaking his head. He offers the meat with a small smile.]

It's, um, nice to meet you.

[takesitall]

[He takes the meat, sniffing it before taking a bite.]

Mhm. Sorry, it's been a while since I was human shaped.

[quicksilverwings]

[It's been smoked and salted, in order to preserve it.]

Oh, um-- it's okay. [Another awkward pause.] ... Sorry, it's been a while since I've had anyone to talk to.

[takesitall]

...so we're both bad at this, huh?

[He doesn't seem bothered, at least, just amused.]

[quicksilverwings]

[He giggles a little.]

Sounds like it... At least it means it won't bother either of us, huh?

[takesitall]

Yeah.

[More eating!]

Do you know the hunters around here?

[quicksilverwings]

Not really... I try to avoid them since I'm pretty young for a dragon and I don't trust them...

[He makes a face.]

They'd probably try to get rid of me if they knew I wasn't as big or scary as the rumors say.

[takesitall]

They were the ones who hurt me. If you knew them, I was going to ask if you'd tell them I'm not stealing their sheep.

[quicksilverwings]

I could probably find someone to tell them.

[There's a couple people he's on good terms with, but.]

... Do you want to stay here while you heal up?

[takesitall]

...I wouldn't mind. It's hard for a lone wolf.

[quicksilverwings]

[... Difficult, and Ciar's no expert, but he's pretty sure being a lone wolf like this is bad for werewolves.]

Then you can definitely stay here! [...] As long as you want, even.

[takesitall]

...are you sure about that?

[But he does seem happy to hear it.]

[quicksilverwings]

[He nods!]

It's... probably better for you to have at least someone around, right? I don't have a lot of room, but that's something I can fix! And my sleeping area's pretty small, so we could even kind of do a pile for sleeping!

[...]

Um, if you want to, at least.

[takesitall]

[He perks up a lot.]

A pile would be nice! I haven't seen my family...um. Yeah.

[quicksilverwings]

[He nods.]

I'll show you where I sleep when we're done eating, then!
