[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!

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?

[arrowroot]

Heh, I guess for some of them 'duel monster' would be an apt description. More specifically they're usually found as juvenile creatures around Tyria that are young enough to be trained and become travel companions that help with attacks against other dangerous creatures.

[As for riding Kleio-]

Not at all! Would you like to go for a ride?

[spoiledbugboy]

[Haga nods at the explanation. It's very impressive how different people's other worlds are from his. Some of them sound so much more interesting than Domino.

Then his eyes widen a little at her invitation to just ride the dragon.]

W-Wait, can I just do that? Isn't she going to be mad at some stranger just being on her back like that?

[arrowroot]

Mhmn, she wouldn't be mad at all. She loves showing off.

[Kleio even gives an excited clicking noise, bouncing from one big clawed foot to the other.]

[spoiledbugboy]

[Comparing Illyana's size to Kleio, Haga can see she's pretty big. He isn't unfamiliar with seeing big monsters, considering how the holograms from Duel Monsters are very much up to scale, but a hologram and a real creature are completely different things. Even if Kleio looks very cute bouncing around like that.]

Hmmm... If you are saying so. [He assumes she's being honest. After all she's been pretty upstanding up until this point. Sorry he just has a hard time trusting people.]

I'm not really doing anything right now so if you are free... [That's his not very subtle way of saying that he wants to take a closer look at Kleio as soon as possible.]

[arrowroot]

[Actually Ana is pretty tiny, so it's a little deceiving. But Kleio's size is definitely not something to dismiss, either.]

I am! I'm just at Greatmoon Groves right now. I was planning on hanging around even if no one took me up on the offer.
