[Oh look it's Ana again.

In Greatmoon Groves. Again.

There's no violin this time, though, and she has turned the video on and adjusted it in order to walk away and... completely out of frame.]

Kleio!

[She has something in her hand, a kind of dried meat but cut far too large for any human mouth to chew on without hurting their jaw. The reason becomes obvious enough a moment later when a large creature comes bounding onto the scene, wearing a saddle and skidding to a halt like an excitable puppy.

Ana laughs and tosses the treat to the dragon-like creature who snatches it out of the air and chews happily. She comes back into the view and pets the creature's neck affectionately. That mess with Majestas was... awful. Absolutely awful. And she's still in recovery though thankfully the bandages are gone now, but having her companion here is already making her feel better.]

Hello everyone! Meet Kleio! She's what's known as a Skyscale where I'm from. They're sort of a distant cousin of dragons, and Kleio here was raised by me from an egg to become my mount! She's very good at flying and--

[And chewing on Ana's hair, apparently.

She's still somewhat young despite her size, at least in terms of animal maturity.]

... Kleio, please.

[Achem! Just going to very gently push her big ol' snout away so she stops.]

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce her now that I finally have her here, and also offer anyone a flight around Prismatica! I know there are limits to how far we can even go, but if anyone has been itching for a bird's-eye view, I'd be glad to give it for a bit of chroma! Feel free to ask me anything about her, too!

SHE'S SO CUTE!!

[arrowroot]

Isn't she? I have a lot of mounts back home so it was difficult to decide but I'm so happy she's here now.

[spiria]

I imagine it would be difficult to be away from your friends like that ... I'm glad you were able to bring at least one here!

[arrowroot]

I know it's possible to bring a lot of things here bit by bit, but it takes a great deal of chroma to buy the items necessary so I doubt I'll do this again.

But you're right one is better than none.

[spiria]

How much chroma did it cost you? If that's okay to ask.

[tigerpoet]

She's beautiful! You're very lucky.

[arrowroot]

I'm just grateful there's a way to bring pets and the like here at all. I would have been very lonely without at least one of them eventually.

[tigerpoet]

I can imagine. How many pets do you have, exactly?

[arrowroot]

Too many to count. I've tamed a lot of animals during my travels.

[tigerpoet]

I have to say I'm a little envious.

[spoiledbugboy]

Ah, what's with everyone here having cool pet dragons?

[What he's saying is where can he get one???]

[arrowroot]

Well, there are items you can get that allow you to summon things. But to be fair my Skyscale isn't exactly the same as other people's dragons.

[Kleio lets out a noise sort of like a deep dolphin-like bark, apparently agreeing with Ana.]

[spoiledbugboy]

Well, it's still very cool, even if it looks different. [Haga usually doesn't compliment people even when he wants to, but he can't really help it. Pet dragons are pretty awesome.]

I think I heard about these weird items you can get from this one store. I don't really know how that works though. [He barely got the hang of Chroma, it's been a learning curve.]

Do you have more creatures back in your world? Or is just Skyscales?

[arrowroot]

[He'll get there. She can offer to help with that later.]

Oh, tons. I've tamed so many. Not all of them are able to be or are trained as mounts but I did have battle pets before I arrived here. Kleio here was the last mount I got and that's been about a year back now.

[spoiledbugboy]

Ah, battle pets? That sounds like Duel Monsters. Well, kinda. [It's just the closest thing he has as a comparison to understand what she means so he'll cling to that.]

And... isn't it a little dangerous to ride on top of something like that?

[ Okay, usually Roxas only pays attention to things that he wants to ask about or things he can somewhat relate to. But the sight of a pet dragon and not just another Moonblessed is enough to capture his interest.

Not enough to coax him into using the video option though. He's not messing with any of those weird features! ]

whoa, you really raised her/

[arrowroot]

[That's fine. Text means she can sit down and let Kleio sun herself some feet away.]

I did. A friend of mine named Gorrik found a clutch of eggs that were in danger of not hatching so I wound up doing a lot of the leg work to get things he needed to rescue them.

Their existence at all was something of an accident, but a happy one!

[terribletwos]

what happened to the other eggs/

[arrowroot]

Gorrik took them. A few didn't make it before he could help, but the ones that did hatch were cared for and released back into the wild so they could continue to breed.

[terribletwos]

they won't hurt anyone/

[ All the dragon-type things he's ever encountered outside of this place have been generally bad. And very violent. ]

DRAGON OH GODS WHY

[arrowroot]

Skyscale.

Did you not listen to anything I just said?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Look where I'm from, 'distant cousins' of dragons are still dragons and literally the strongest creature type on the Material Plane!

Also if this one's more animal-like, that's still terrifying for me, animals tend to react poorly to me.

[arrowroot]

Oh I'm sure she'll be fine with you. We've been through a lot together and she can be a little excitable sometimes but she's well behaved with other people.

And trust me, I know about dragons. Elder dragons are a serious problem where I'm from. But she can't ascend to become one, and last I checked she's closer to a large puppy than a magic-eating minion-driving Elder dragon.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Okay...

Dragons are definitely different on your world, but I'm still cautious.
