[eggstinction]

How do you fancy to get inside an egg, love?

But, perhaps I might be able to show you a dream of it.

[finalsteps]

I would say, "how else", with my limited knowledge of how to get inside of a dragon's egg.

I would see a dream of it, though. Perhaps we can save that for after you show me the rest of your kingdom?

[eggstinction]

[trills a laugh, fond]

Certainly. Shall we begin with this island?

[finalsteps]

[ Arm around him. ]

Starting here, ending where ever you feel we should end.

[eggstinction]

We’ve two worlds to explore between us. The end of our touring is many years off yet.

[finalsteps]

I like that answer.

[ Fond chirping. ]

And you are certain your kingdom will take kindly to me?


[ HE CAME READY TO PROVE HIMSELF. ]

[eggstinction]

[chirps back]

They will. And if they do not, they will quickly learn otherwise.

[finalsteps]

Then I wish to meet them.

[eggstinction]

I did warn you, didn't I? That my sons will wish to fight you?

[finalsteps]

You warned me.

So we could fight now, talk later. I have pride and honor and you to defend here.

[eggstinction]

We can fight later and talk later. I will have a lot of explaining to do, and I should like to let our first night here together be a peaceful one. Heavier things can wait 'til morning.

[steps out of the water, tugging Estinien towards the grove of palm trees]

[finalsteps]

[ Giving him the Fondest Look. ]

Of course, love. Whatever you wish of me. My impatience may get the better of me, you know.

[eggstinction]

[how're they ever going to get into the palace if moon has to keep leaning over to nuzzle and kiss estinien? he's too weak to that look]

Impatience for what, treasure?

[finalsteps]

You. What else?

[ He does not give that Look to many people, so Moon being weak to it is especially treasurable. ]

... I had not thought about much beyond our time in the prison, to think that we were able to leave together.

[ Estinien can attempt sentimentality. But he's not very good at it. ]

[eggstinction]

[flicks his tail, looking for another tail to twine with, then curls it close behind estinien's legs instead]

You've my company now. We've left together now. It is a new experience, truly, but I hope one day this island and my seas will be as familiar as any field and house in Ishgard. You are not my guest in coming here, you are crossing your own threshold.

[finalsteps]

If it is true that we will be able to continue traversing betwixt our worlds. Then I should hope that you will come to feel the same of Ishgard, or Radz-At-Han. They are both places I could consider "home".

[ Winding an arm around him. The lack of tails is So Frustrating. ]

[eggstinction]

I earnestly hope so. I know Ishgard's lord will make welcome, but I must still hope to make a good impression on Radz-At-Han's.

[finalsteps]

Vrtra is kind. More kind than any dragon I've had the pleasure of knowing before you. You will make a good impression on him as long as you do not threaten his land or his people.

[eggstinction]

[a happy little curl of his tail, yes i’m a kind dragon too!!]

I would never. I’ve my own lands and people to satisfy me, and never would I threaten a place you cherish. I hope to be an ally and friend to Vrtra.

[finalsteps]

At current, our best bet will be to visit Radz-At-Han after spending some weeks, maybe even a month or more here. I know that preparations to go back to the Thirteenth are taking more than a while.

It would be enough to make any man restless.

[eggstinction]

Then we will have to do our best to keep you occupied that month.

[finalsteps]

I cannot see that the world is in any peril at the moment, so I would say that we will need to keep ourselves occupied otherwise, aye?

[eggstinction]

I do not imagine that will be a difficulty.

[finalsteps]

[ they are probably just wandering aimlessly, what else is there for Estinien to see. ]

Confident, as always.

[eggstinction]

Is my confidence misplaced? I do not think so.

[he's leading Estinien through a tropical garden, heavily planted palms and blooming flowers. some of the plants are unfamiliar to both Eorzea and modern Earth, but all are green and lush, spoiled with an abundance of rain and sunshine. there's no lamps except for the bright moon overhead, and there's the soft rustle of small animals in the darkness. snakes, sleepy birds, a gardener's dog making its own private rounds. some crabs scuttle busily across the path. this isn't a garden kept for harvesting, but just for the pleasure of the outdoors.]
