    Borris, After a few moments moving slowly with claria, realized she wanted to go faster, so he obliged. Soon, they were both moving with agile, swift movements, when she hesitated and he moved to poke her in the chest, he realized what should have been a light tap, actually pushed her to the ground. He blinked and suddenly looked worried when she started crying. He looked around for direction but then kneeled in front of her "I'm sorry, are you ok? I didn't mean to be that rough." Not because she was female, but because he thought she was a newbie. But then he looked serious and said "Although, If you want to be part of the guard you need to toughen up a bit." He then smiled and stood before offering his hand to help her up if she needed it

    Nikkolai nodded at Gretchen's words "Alright, what do you want to discuss?" He asked as he leaned against the wall. "I'm all ears." As his flexible elven ears flicked forward to emphasize what he said.

    It took her a little more than an hour to finish molding the clay, but once she finished she went about rinsing her hands of an excess. Drying her hands off on her shirt and tying it around her waist Alaura began to collect what she had molded and started carrying it to her den. She paused when she noticed Borris and Claria sparring and her eyes widened in amazement. The both of them were moving so fluidly and quick it was almost hard for her to keep up. And even though Claria seemed to be a beginner it was like she was born to do...whatever it is you call what they were doing. She was almost sad to see it end, the energy the two of them put off was electrifying and Alaura could feel herself wanting to watch more. Breaking free of the collective stupor from the onlookers, the brunette put down her pottery and began to clap enthusiastically.

    "Valiant effort Claria!" She shouted from where she stood. Her excitement seemed to rouse the crowd as applause and shouts of approval were heard throughout the cave. She gave one last cheer before picking up her crafts again and officially heading back to her den. Casting a cursory glance around her room and nodding Alaura decided to place the pottery in a patch of sunlight to dry, before untying her shirt from her waist and putting it back on. I know the manual calls for fire to bake the clay, but sunlight will have to be the next best until I can dig a fire pit in here... She sat down with a sigh and pulled the bag of eggs closer and into the sunlight to help keep them warm. One by one she pulled them out to examine them and track their progress. Her ears twitched slightly as there was a very faint thumping sound. Confused, Alaura lifted the egg she was holding up to her ear. It was slight, but she could hear a heartbeat coming from the inside.

    Weather it was the prospect of hatching new food for the clan, or the slight endearment she felt to raise something, the young weredragon couldn't help but feel unbelievably... happy? 'Hmm strange. Putting the egg away into the bag with the others she placed the bag next to the vase and bowls, before grabbing her other pack and leaving her den again to gather some firewood, humming slightly as she went along. She stopped in her tracks as she realized she would be taking from the clan and what little they had Perhaps I should ask if Nikkolai would be willing to come with me to the jungle...Hopefully he's not too busy. With that thought Alaura set out to find the dark prince. It didn't take long for her to find him, but it seemed that he and Gretchen were engaged in a rather serious conversation. Mmm I know it's dangerous, but I want to try going on my own. Everyone looked to be too engrossed with whatever task they were set out to do, so no one would notice her absence, and following that logic the brunette slipped out undetected and made her way towards the jungle.

    This situation had so, so, so many cons that outweighed the pros, it had Alaura's heart reading with nervous energy and adrenaline. She kept her eyes and ears open for any possible danger, but she wasn't able to pick up on anything so she continued on. Her nerves are what had her moving quicker then normal and before she knew it she was halfway there. A small triumphant smile made it's way across her face as the jungle came into view, picking up the pace the brunette made it to the lush foliage and immediately began gathering dead braches and sticks for her own personal stash of firewood. So far nothing bad had happened and she was counting her lucky stars that nothing would. In no time at all she had a several nice piles of wood and she was currently wrapping the vines she had seen Gretchen use earlier around it for easier carry. Had she not been so wrapped up in her work Alaura would have heard the twig snap, and the rustling in the bushes. She did however pick up on the change in atmosphere and scents. Pausing in her work, she scanned her surroundings in search of danger. At first she didn't immediately spot anything, but a second scan around had her eyes came across two yellow glowing dots from the bushes. She seemed to freeze up as she got caught up in the gaze of whatever was staring at her, the two of them stared for what seemed like minutes, but it was only a matter of seconds. MOVE ALAURA!! It was like that thought was a bell and both moved at the same time, one lunging, and the other rolling out of the way. Quickly swiping her dagger off the ground and grabbing her pack, the brunette made a mad dash further into the jungle.

    Whatever the creature was it roared and gave chase. SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!!!! The adrenaline came back, this time ten times stronger pushing her to run faster. Couple that with a VERY healthy dose of fear had the brunette running even faster. She was running so fast it felt like she was practically flying with the loud thundering sound of her heart pounding in her ears. Wait should a heartbeat even sound that loud? Stopping abruptly Alaura felt there had been a significant change- for one thing she was floating and her hands had turned into..... hooves?! She couldn't ruminate for too long though, her pursuer was hot on her heels. She had an idea and she could only hope that it would work. Focusing all the nervous energy and adrenaline she had been feeling earlier the brunette started to mold it into energy which soon started to crackle to life in the form of electricity that coated her body. I can't let that creature follow me home! With her resolve strengthened Alaura charged towards the enemy with a roar of her own and sparks flying. She slammed into the big cat and sent it flying a few feet and it crumpled into a heap of fur and claws. She watched it lay there for a few moments, before grabbing her pack in her mouth and looping back the way she came. It didn't take her long to reach the clearing where she was gathering wood and now with her size she could carry more. Looping her tail through the straps, she was able to pick up all three bundles, and with one last scan of her surroundings the newly turned dragon quickly began her trek back home.

    Her eyes roll a little when he flicks those ears "uh huh, so I see Nikkolai."

    But down to business as it were, since everyone was working to get their skills discovered and unleash to the benefits of the clan.

    "As I said, I want to discuss Healers. We know they will be needed and a viable part of all of this just like Aluara making bowls are and the others training." She begins to say, not placing on skill higher than any other if any were listening to the conversation.

    "I want to head it, the healers...do not ask me why. Just know that there are plants out there we need to harvest, discover, and use. Needles made from bones and stitches from plant fibers or sinew would do best depending on the wound. There is also the mental aspect as well."

    It was all just coming out, and she was letting it...not holding back what so ever.

    "Stress, worries, they will need listening ears and a counciling word for those that ache of the heart and mind over wounds. I'd like to find both aspects in a healer to form a strong group that can take on such burdens for the clan."

    Crossing her own arms under her bust she looks outside, then into the caves and nods as if deciding something. "If Borris won't let me protect from danger. Then I will protect the health and well being of the clan and if he has any problem with it then I shall talk to him alone."

    Gretchen was taking charge, minding her bonded's concerns but also not letting anyone take over her life but herself.

    Looking back at Nikkolai she nods to him, a bow of her head to display respect to the leader. "You also have concerns...it shows in your body language as I've been watching. Should you ever need someone to talk to, without judgement, I am here. Even if I have to have whoever you bond with tie you up and leave you a weak mess from adventures so I can get you to open up."

    She looks at him with a mix of serious and playful tones in her voice.

    "I will. Everyone matters and I won't make any acceptions for you, Shin, Clairia, Borris, or Aluara. No one in our clan will be excused."


    Taking in a deep breath of air she would freeze, looking right then left before following some sort of scent that makes her turn around before looking to Nikkolai again. Hearing the roar in the jungle as well "Aluara...her scent...she's out there."

    "BORRIS!!"

    Without thinking she grabs Nikkolai's wrist and takes him to where the others were training before letting go with an apologetic look on her face. Brief as it was before her eyes set to the Captain as he is now.

    "Borris, Aluara I think is out there. Bring her back please...if she is hurt I will not forgive myself for not speaking with her first as she wanted. Bring her back before I go out there whether you like it or not."

    Take charge Gretchen...taking charge.

    But to her respect she still looked to Nikkolai for the final word in this.

    Nikkolai blinked as he was suddenly and quickly dragged out to the group once his wrist was freed he flexed it a bit. Before nodding to Gretchen and Borris both after Gretchen told Borris to go find their missing companion.

    Borris nodded, taking a running start after being pointed in the direction the roar came from, Leaping into the air he shifted mid leap, angelic wings unfolding and beating in the wind as he flew toward the jungle after catching Laura's scent and flying in that direction. He would likely run, or fly into Alaura's immediate area after a short while, he circled her for a moment before calling out "Alaura?" His furred white serpentine body and feathered white wings all seemed to glow in the midday sun even the golden horns and claws caught the light and reflected it a bit. He continued to circle the hooved Dragon hoping it was Alaura.

    Alaura blinked slightly as she saw a white blur rushing her way. She reared on her hind hooves as it suddenly stopped in front of her. "Borris? Goodness you startled me. "

    "Yeah I um...I was able to transform." The quilin watched him circle her as she continued walking back to the cave.

    Borris apologized for hitting her but she ignored it. She did not care in the slightest that she got poked and pushed. Sure it would hurt a bit but that was nothing in comparison to that feeling she had a moment ago. Everything felt so good...she was happy…

    "Although, If you want to be part of the guard you need to toughen up a bit."

    She felt herself go dull. Get tough...she felt herself get angry with Borris. He smiled and offered his hand to help her up. She saw that smile as a mocked gesture. Oh yea just toughen up everything will be fine. She gritted her teeth a bit...she reached up and took his hand. She wiped her tears a bit and gave a half hearted smile. Now was not the time for her personal feelings to drive a ridge between those with memory and those without. As she made her way she brushed off the dirt and said, “Yes…”

    When she heard Alaura’s voice she could not help but feel a little better. She gave her a happy smile and waved. In fact, everyone seemed to be decently happy with their performance. She was a bit startled by that and mainly just tried to keep to herself. Borris needed control after all.

    After some time Gretchen came forward to interrupt their training. Apparently Alaura was in trouble but before anything could be said Borris jumped off and quickly turned into a large white dragon. She frowned as he flew off. The guard captain should at least tell his people what they should be doing. She turned towards the men and said, “Alright! With him gone we have even numbers, partner up and practise what he taught.. Get faster too!” Claria had no issues with keep in the men in line for now. She noticed she was unable to get into it like before so she ended up more so going over the way she did things. Her style was different and most of the men preferred Borris’ style after her lesson. Either way they just needed to remain busy.

    Nikkolai and Gretchen were still near the outside of the cave. She looked at everyone and said, “Okay! Take a break! We will do some basic exercising in fifteen minutes!” She clapped to make sure they all paid attention and she walked over to the two of them.

    “Gretchen how did you know about Alaura?” it was weird considering not even the heads knew she was missing.

    “Nikkolai, I am thinking of using securities training as part of development and manual labor, that way we are not being totally useless unless under attack. Does that sound alright for you?”
    Activity Dates: I am most frequent Monday, Wednesday through Saturday. I am rarely free Tuesdays and Sundays though may be able to find some time.

    Currently looking for friends and Rp's if you think I might fit please let me know!

    "I see that." Borris said as he landed beside her and walked along with her. "Don't mind me, just escorting you back, if you're ready to head back." He said as he kept his ears pricked and attentive, listening for anything following as well as to her if she wanted to talk. "Oh, and Alaura, what triggered the shift? Fear, most likely, but that's just my guess. There are several potential dangers to be aware of. Nikkolai would be pretty well devastated to lose you..." he smirked in a Draconian way and said "I've noticed a couple times how he's looked at you whenever you walk into his vision, and I recognize the look, like a lovestruck youngling... his eyes get softer, and he smiles just a bit. Not really noticeable to those who don't know him..." They were about halfway back to the cave now.

    Nikkolai looked at Claria as she came up to him "Oh, yes, that does sound like a good idea." he turned to Gretchen "And yours as well, sorry with the chaos I forgot to say anything. But yes, you may head a group of healers if you wish it. And you're correct, I see your points, and I'd like to see what you can do."

    If dragons could blush, Alaura's scales would turn a darling pink color.

    "Ah yes, it was fear I-I was being chased by some creature, but I wasn't able to get a good look at it."

    She felt a little foolish for not being able to describe what had tried to hunt her down, but her triumph was greater than her embarrassment.

    "I was able to protect myself though and I think I may have wounded whatever it was."

    A couple seconds ticked by until the qilin actually registered what her draconian companion had said. She paused as she replayed the revelation in her head. Lovestruck...? Snapping out of her reverie, she quickly caught up to Borris.

    "So soon? I mean I'm flattered, but he doesn't even know who I am...I don't even know who I am."

    "Is it like a draconian thing to like someone so quickly? Is it like a part of bonding, o-or is that completely different? Oh Borris w-what if I've been doing the same thing and I-"

    If she were in her human form, the brunette would have slapped her hands over her mouth, instead she settled for biting her lip. Perhaps she had said too much. Oh stars...I hope he doesn't find me weird...

    Shin watched as Alaura came stampeding into the caves. He had stashed the basket of fish in the spring to keep it cool, and semi-refrigerated. He approached Nikkolai with disdain in his eyes. He was very mad at this person, who thought he could just act nice, and he'd fall into line. He saw through Nikkolai, and he wouldn't act like he couldn't. "Let's talk payment. You may pay me in something of equal value for the fish. I will not just give them away." he glared. "And I will fish. Alone. Anyone else would hinder me."

    Borris glanced at her reaction and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm positive he'd love to bond with you, Alaura." He said, smiling in a Draconic way to her

    Nikkolai blinked as Shin, rudely, interrupted his conversation with Claria and Gretchen, demanding payment for the fish. "Is not the survival of the entire clan and their gratitude payment enough? Or would you prefer everyone starves and you take the fish for yourself?" Seemed Shin needed a good lay to relax a bit.
