![](https://hxrv2.neocities.org/draconics/makiyan.png) Ashe arrived with Santiago, Inyala on his shoulder like always even if there was no assistance needed from her here of all places, and the dragon found himself glancing around. Ashe had promised him a hot date with a lovely female that lived with his human friend, Jinx. They hadn't been able to schedule a 'playdate' as Ashe called it, so they could get to know each other before coming here, but that suited Santiago just fine. He wasn't exactly one to get to know others in a long lasting relationship or anything. He knew the humans sometimes had bonds like that, but not him! And he was fine with that, so long as there were ladies around when he did get lonely. Because surely they got lonely, too? Beneficial for them both. He'd also seen how tore up Ashe was when one of these bondings went awry. He wasn't eager to be in any kind of pain, personally. They were the first ones there obviously, and decided to wait outside for Jinx to arrive. 1

![](https://hxrv2.neocities.org/draconics/eideon.png) Jinx and Katla hardly knew each other, but here Jinx was, throwing her to the wolves. This lovely child had grown into a beautiful adult, silky green fur, lovely wings. Jinx was in awe every time she looked at her. Katla seemed a little less sure of herself. Hopefully that was just because she grew up with other types of dragons and didn't know what it was to be like herself. But she had been easy enough to convince to come here and meet another dragon, so she must not be too much of a recluse. Jinx regretted not spending more time with her and the others; there were only so many hours in a day, though! She felt pulled in so many directions... Hopefully having a couple babies would give Katla something to focus on in the meantime. Not that Katla was aware that was what this meeting was about. Jinx found herself blushing any time she tried to go into detail, so here they were... When they arrived to find Ashe and Santiago here already, Jinx lifted a hand in a wave of greeting. 2

Jinx arrived with a lovely green female in tow. She was as big as Santiago himself, but she had wings that seemed to sparkle and shimmer. He had never seen one of her kind before, and neither had Santiago. The Makiyan drew himself up to his full height, chest puffed out of a little bit so he could look as regal as possible when he greeted her. Ashe internally rolled his eyes, not letting anything show physically lest he spoil the dynamic that was soon to be building. "Hi, Jinx. And who's your lovely lady there?" he asked, looking at the Eideon. He wasn't sure if she could speak or not; no shame if she couldn't, Ashe had some Malavos that definitely struggled and they were not any lesser for it.
Santiago took a step toward the female, dipping his head in a slight bow of greeting. "I am Santiago," he said in common. "Pleasure to meet you. This is Ashe, my soul partner." While this rolled right off his tongue because it was true, Ashe thought that might be a little odd to mention to a possible new lover.

"Hey, Ashe," Jinx said. She sounded a bit shy - and she was. Though she often found herself coming here to further the draconic species - something she didn't understand to start with, since they were a people unto themselves, why would they need humans peeping and making sure the deed got done? - the act was a little odd, invasive. Ashe never seemed to mind. He shared such an intense bond with Santiago that surely it was almost third wheeling? All of this, and her being more on the outside of things, made it feel a little extra...awkward. "Oh, this is-" But then Santiago sauntered on over to Katla and introduced himself, and that took care of that. Jinx gave Katla a nod of reassurance.
Katla was eyeing Santiago ever since they arrived. He was fine, in a lanky and lithe kind of way, not a buff muscular thing by any means. But he moved with a confident grace, and she found that enticing. And he was polite, how nice! "I am Katla. Pleased to meet you," She agreed, with a tip of her head. "And my friend, Jinx." It took her a moment to register what exactly he'd said. "Soul partner...?"

Ashe was content to let the dragons do the talking, since they were the whole reason they were all gathered here today. He offered his arm to Jinx, hoping she would take it and allow him to lead her off somewhere else. They would be close enough to call on if they were needed, but otherwise... out of earshot. Though Ashe would still have the problem of feeling things through Santiago if he didn't watch himself with their bond. It was growing stronger by the day now, which made some things more difficult...
"My Soul Partner," Santiago repeated with an affirming nod. "It means our souls are bound. We are almost as one dragon, even if he is a human." It truly felt odd to try and describe something like this, to someone who did not know anything about it. How did you put something like that into simple words? It didn't help that Santiago wasn't a poet, was no master of words. His charm was more in his forwardness, like Ashe.

Jinx did take his arm, after some initial confusion before she quickly caught on to his unspoken suggestion. She trusted Ashe not to try anything foolish with her, so she took his arm and allowed him to lead her off wherever to give these two some privacy. She doubted the dragons ever considered indecency since they seemed to value procreation in general in the society. And the bonds between mother and child didn't seem to be as strong, whereas the whole community would step in and raise the babies if they needed to. Society here was quite different!
Katla still didn't understand what he was getting at. She eyed him critically, as if trying to determine if he was entirely dragon, or something more human. She shifted, ruffling her wings a little in her unease. "Are you two... mates, then?" She wasn't sure where she stood if that was the case. She'd heard of two dragons taking Vows together before, though never a dragon and a human, let alone two males...

Ashe didn't take them too far away, just somewhere around the corner and down a ways. He found a nice flat rock for them to sit upon, glad that there was no shortage of Boulders to suit his needs. They were in a canyon, after all. He sat and leaned back on his arms, gazing at the sky, judging the weather. He patted the rock next to him for Jinx to join him.
Santiago snorted so hard he almost choked on - what, air? Spit? - and he set to coughing to clear his throat. "What?! No! No, of course not!" He was flustered enough that he switch to draconic and back to common, before settling in draconic. His languages flickered depending on to whom he was speaking, and in this case since it was a young dragon.. "No," he said firmly, giving a shake of his head. "We are like brothers. You do not to that with your own kin! He is who I might be, were I a human, and I am who he might be, if he was a dragon. But definitely not... that." he snorted again. "Good thing, though..." he said, recovering now. "Because I would like to get to know you without anyone between us..."

Jinx climbed up on the rock and sat next to Ashe. She pulled her legs up, knees bent to her chest, and wrapped her arms around them. She rested her chin on her knees and gazed out at the canyon around them. It really was lovely weather here, a bright sunny day, rays falling to warm even the rocks they sat on, but a cool breeze blowing to keep them from getting too cool. She sighed, content in silence.
Katla dipped her head to hide her chuckle, taking entertainment from his reaction when she knew she probably shouldn't. She didn't want to hurt his pride, or insult him in any way! But his adamancy was quite funny and she couldn't help herself. "Brothers," she said. "That makes more sense to me. I was concerned for a moment..." She found she was unable to stop teasing. "I would like to get to know you, too. I have never met anyone like yourself, you seem rather traveled. Have you and your human brother gone on many adventures?"

Santiago thought of his adventures with Ashe. There weren't too many outside of the canyon, but he didn't really want to let on that it was more of a bore. Not that he minded the adventures he did have with Ashe! He just didn't think they would be the sort to impress his new lady friend. And he would certainly rather impress her before she wandered off in search of someone more exciting! Yet he didn't want to thrill her too much and have her following after him like a hatchling, wanting to participate in more of these adventures with him...
"Ashe and I go fishing a lot. Rather, he fishes, and I soak up some sun or swim. But there was this one time..." He leaned in, conspiratorially as he embellished on this story to tell her. "It was a normal day, we weren't expecting anything but another lazy day, and then..." He went on to tell her about how a shark appeared out of nowhere, ate the fish that Ashe had been just reeling in, and then snapped his fishing line. Before making a beeline straight for them!

Katla was glad she waited before she rolled her eyes because a simple tale of fishing with a human was not exactly what she would call interesting! But thankfully she gave him a few moments to get there and it turned out he really did have a story! "I confess, I have never seen a shark! Are they quite scary?" she inquired, tilting her head. She knew they were large, they were in the river that flowed through the canyon, and they had enough teeth that they were the subject of many a warning from the older dragons to the young. Don't go in the water alone! Look for the fish, if they're fleeing you're not alone. Ripples on the surface of the water, the fin on their back, on and on. But she had thought it was just stories.
"What happened next?" she asked. "Obviously the both of you survived, and I didn't notice any missing limbs..." She wondered if he had tucked tail and run away. She certainly wouldn't blame him if he did! But she had a feeling Santiago wasn't the run away type.

"Ashe may look like a plain human, but he has a lot of magic at his fingertips. Not from within, like us, but from these orbs he carries. A simple touch and he can create darkness, water, fire..." He had to explain this part because he knew some draconics looked down on humans for not having magical blood in their bodies like they did from birth. He had not chosen Ashe just for the magic - hell, he had known Ashe before he'd gotten any magic at all - but it was definitely an added bonus at this stage of their partnership, and sometimes he liked to brag about his human, as Ashe bragged about him.
"He was ready to summon the elements, but I was ready quicker! I rushed past him and leaped straight into the water, on top of that shark!" He went on to detail how he sunk his claws and his teeth into it, the detail of its rough skin, how those jaws almost snapped shut on his tail!

Katla was a little alarmed now. What kind of dragon ran out to jump onto a shark? To attack one in its home, in the waters? She reared her head back to give him a contemplating look, trying to figure out if he was truly mad, or just stupid. Obviously he must have won, because he was standing right here before her, but really? A shark? "Why would you do that?" she found herself asking, before she could check her rudeness. She still didn't want to offend him, and he was telling her a story as she had asked, and yet... She shook her head. "You could have been killed! And even if its bite didn't kill you, what if it dragged you under?" She shifted her weight from paw to paw, uneasy with how the story was going. She needed a conclusion! She needed details! Because otherwise she kept imagining the worst, despite the proof being right in front of her that everything ended up okay. She tightened her wings against her sides, tense.

Santiago felt pretty proud of himself, once he saw how affected by this story his new friend was. She would probably be impressed when he told her how he won and saved the day! Was she truly worried for him already? Even knowing that he was safe and whole in front of her? He reveled in this feeling, enjoying the tension even if she didn't as much. He flicked his tail from side to side, and crouched a little lower, to make it sound more dramatic. "His skin was strong, but my claws were sharper. I dug in and held on. The shark thrashed from side to side, trying to toss me in the waves it made. And then it went under!" He lowered his voice, adding to the atmosphere of the story, telling her how they went down, deeper into the water, and still the shark was thrashing up a storm. But instead of dislodging him, Santiago's claws dug deep gouges down the shark's sides with each movement, until the water filled with its blood. How Santiago lashed out with his fangs and clamped his jaws over the beast's gills. How the shark's movements started to slow...

As the story progressed, Katla was able to see how it was going to end, and she didn't know if she believed her. True, he was standing before her, but what if the shark had never existed? Or what if he had run away from it, like any sane dragon would do instead of swimming with it? The stories could all be made up! How was she to know? He sounded so believable... She had to make a choice, if she believed him or thought it was silly. Or maybe she would pretend to believe him? She didn't know if she could hold up a lie for any period of time, though - that took more effort than people realized! She shook her head as if in shock. "I can't believe you survived that!" she declared. She felt it was neutral enough. "You not only attacked a shark and survived long enough to tell the tale of it, but you killed it?" She couldn't help it if that last bit sounded a bit skeptical. Maybe he wouldn't notice.
