The Garden was a labyrinth of these bonsai-boots, among other random small objects that the bonsai had been potted in. It was bizarre and creepy in a 'childhood stories come to life' kind of way that made walking side-by-side with a dragon even more bizarre. The human let this roll off of their shoulders the best that they could, knowing that allowing this emotion to cross over the emotional link, which they were still not quite good at controlling, would only serve to make whatever was bothering Ryuusei substantially worse, they were sure. So they tried not to think about it too much. Had anyone gone missing in the gardens, ever? "So... P-provided there actually is a Nyssa out here- shouldn't there be quaking going on?" Morgan mentioned in triplicate to the golden tat-lung, pointing out the fact in the process that there actually had been quaking, last time.

The human was heavily considering the possibility that perhaps the old woman had been lying about the nyssa. The old lady did seem pretty lonely, and it especially didn't make sense that such a creature would suddenly decide to 'attack' again, when the last time it hadn't really been 'attacking' to begin with... Yeah, something about this was fishy. However, Morgan didn't get a good chance to further follow that line of logic, because something DID happen- something that threw Morgan off of their feet and back- they were just barely able to catch theirself and slide back on the balls of their feet, leaving two long drags against the soft ground of the rained-on garden. Ryuusei caught Morgan by bracing them with his body, and then affixed whatever it was with his bright green eyes at the same time that Morgan was able to catch their own bearings from the strike.

Morgan clutched their chest, and coughed HARD, wincing. At first they thought they were having a heart attack, but it became obvious to them, as their brain quickly pieced the information together despite their panic and the haze of adrenaline, that they had been struck in the chest by something incredibly heavy. After a moment of having been able to stand, the human slides down to their knees, stubbornly trying to hold their ground. Their glasses had been knocked askew, but they quickly tried to figure out what was going on. The Tat-lung did not immediately leap into attack, instead opting to protectively curl his great golden tail around the human, the crest at the end of his tail across Morgan's face. He snarled in that deep, booming way that tat-lungs could do when angry, and bristled at whatever it was.
Little did Morgan know, they had just barely been glanced by the tail tip of the nyssa, not having noticed that the great creature was right in front of them due to it having been covered in bonsai-potted-in-boots.

A glancing blow from a nyssa would be enough to knock most sensible people unconscious, but it made Morgan see red. They were sure that they had broken a rib, and took a second to place their palm against their chest, and imbue just a tad bit of magic to at least remedy that issue so that they could breaths. The magic flowed from their hands into their body, and they could literally feel the bone knit. Sore. They were STILL so SORE and it HURT but now they could breathe.
Ryuusei bristled and prickled as the sleepy Nyssa turned about, the tail now safely away from everyone else. The thing towered over them, at least three Ryuuseis tall, from nose to tail tip. Now that the human had their bearings, they are beyond pissed. Morgan leaned forward, not quite able to lift theirself up off of the ground, and focused their energy on the beast before snapping their fingers.

Along with the cracking of Morgan's forefinger and thumb, a split of thunder erupted along with a crack of lightning that struck the nyssa straight down the spine, creating an explosion of noise all at once. Morgan and Ryuusei were standing perhaps a bit too close, but the dragon was able to weather the strike and hold Morgan up from being thrown any further back. The human tried to stay sat up, but slid back down onto their hands and knees, spitting something wet and iron-tasting from their mouth onto the wet dirt. Ryuusei snarled at the nyssa, which was quite injured at this point, but not quite knocked down.
For a moment, there was a silent standstill. Then, the Nyssa turns, creaking as it did, and moved as swiftly as a Nyssa could further on into the gardens. Ryuusei watched it go, and then immediately turned towards the human with worry etched into his expression.
