[As soon as the sun did not rise on the 1st, like others had suggested it would, Gan Ning wanted off Isla Empieza. He put out the call to his crew - get on the ship, leave no man behind. Or woman, Cynthia.

The storm hit while they were two days out from the island. It would take all hands on deck to keep the Nightfury from capsizing, good thing they have a couple of solid dragons to keep things in check. Just watch out for Gaius and his fiery pendant! By the time the storm blows out in the wee hours on the 4th, the charts put them drifting near to Eternal Bliss. Are the residents still pissed at pirates for what Kodachi did? Who cares, they need to land to make repairs. And maybe score some treasure, if anyone wants to go through the marriage requirement.

That's very... [Something.] Special.

[He leans back from the eagle a little, eyeing it warily now. It looks like the front half of a hippogriff.]

They're not too finicky or anything, are they? Will he get all upset if I look at him wrong?

[Does he have to bow to this thing...]

[anelegantmyth]

Nah, he's a good boy. Just a little cranky about being dragged into a new world. But I guess, for your safety, don't try to surprise or annoy him. He's still getting used to everything.

[Unless you want to stroke that bird's ego. For the love of Arceus, don't bow.]

You're free to pester my other pokemon though. They get pretty intense during training. But they're always happy to meet new people.

[Gives a light snort.]

Aren't we all...

[Cranky about the new world, that is.]

Some of the beasts in my world have to be approached in very specific ways. We have a whole class on it at school. ...It's a terrible class.

[anelegantmyth]

A class about beast studies huh? Definitely sounds like something I'd attend.

[Or teach. Oh yeah, she'd totally teach a class about pokemon if someone asked her to. All those years of experience in the toughest environments. Meeting every pokemon in her dex AND legendaries? She'd make a great teacher.]

So you came here to meet the dragons? I'm not really sure what Toothless and Stormfly are up to. But I could introduce you to mine.

[and with a whistle, Garchomp comes flying to her side, in all her strange landsharky glory.]

[dragonbadfaith]

The professor, if he can even truly be called such a thing, is a great buffoon. It might've had the potential to be interesting if not for that.

[He blinks at her then, eyebrows going up.]

I wasn't aware there was a third one, I was only informed of the two.

[When Garchomp comes flying up, Draco hops back a step or two, looking startled.]

...But apparently I was given false information.

[Now it's the dragon's turn to lower itself down to eye level. She wasn't particularly fond of strangers who got too close to her trainer, but since this one was still a child, she doesn't see him as much of a threat.

But that doesn't stop her from glaring. She saw what you could do with that magic stick and she doesn't trust you one bit.]

Easy mistake. The two dragons Hiccup mentioned were part of his world. So I suppose it's easy to forget mine since she comes from another world.

That and because this one never leaves my side, and since I'm always bellow deck, people don't normally see her as much as the other two.

[dragonbadfaith]

[Takes another step back, eyeing the beast warily even as he speaks to Cynthia.]

It was your captain who mentioned there being two dragons on this ship, actually. But no matter. Yours is another that isn't the size I would expect of a dragon. Curious.

[anelegantmyth]

Kitty? Huh...

[Somehow, she's not all that surprised.]

Well he's drunk about 90% of the time.
