He's no Dovahkiin, that's for sure.

Who: Toothless, and a group of idiots. (The crew of the Antoinette.)
Where: Isla Empieza docks; the Antoinette
When: Backdated to February 12th, late afternoon.
What: Hikaru manages to bring home a dragon instead of any of the things he set out to buy.
Warnings: dragondragondragondragondragondragondragondragon
Style: Deep-fried ...Whatever people feel like?
Status: Open to anyone in the vicinity of the Antoinette.


It took the sacrifice of bread, cheese, and a really good bag; an entire barrel of fish; a lot of bucket removals; finding the patience to deal with inquisitive sniffing, and a lot of time to get here but finally, finally Hikaru and Toothless have arrived at the bottom of the gangway leading up to the Antoinette. It's here that Hikaru pauses, considering. He's fairly confident that the dragon can get up it without breaking it - those things were made to take much heavier loads, he's sure - but... should he really just introduce it to everyone all at once? That seems like a pretty bad idea when he thinks about it, especially if the only thing he knows about handling animals is that people should stay calm around them.

With a glance at the dragon, he decides to try and call down his crew one by one to introduce them. Knowing them, it would probably fail - but he wants to at least show Kaoru first! And at least if they do all descend at once after he tries to get them one-by-one, it's their own fault and he can't be blamed if the dragon reacts badly. Right?

He doesn't know who's on deck right now, though theoretically they all should be.

"Oi, Kaoru!" He yells out, hoping to be heard over the noise in the docks. He doesn't know who's going to answer his call first, but he can hope for his twin! He's not sure he trusts the dragon to stay put while he goes onboard to fetch anyone, so aside from using his journal, he doesn't really have any good ways of getting anyone's attention. Maybe he can convince the dragon to set something on fire, if nobody hears him.

     This one sounds almost like his new friend! But they have different color hair. How odd!

     Toothless remains where he sits, almost mimicking Hikaru's grin, save a bit more gummier for lack of teeth.

"Name him?" Kaoru's eyebrows raise high. Hikaru must be kidding. He can't be serious. This is- there's no way this is happening. Except apparently it is and on the one hand, dragons are pretty cool, but on the other hand...

"You say that like we're definitely going to keep him. What do you think Kyouya's going to say about this?"
b2_dragon: (hehe~n)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2014-02-16 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
     Not like he can follow the line of conversation here, so Toothless looks back and forth between the twins at their exchange. Humans sure like to talk a lot, but it's kind of funny to watch, sometimes.
totheright: (complicated)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-16 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh man." Hikaru knows Kaoru can't say no to that look. He tries to squint away from it, but to no avail. The wide-eyed look is just way too big and appealing.

So he steps closer to the dragon, eyeing him carefully before sticking out a hand. That's how you approach a dog, right? And they can't be that different. "Hey... Dragon. Nice to meet you."

Damnit, there's just something endearing about that gummy smile. He touches the dragon's snout for a couple seconds before slumping. "I'm going to get killed by the Shadow King because of you. We're both going to get killed. I hope you're happy."

     Toothless sits perfectly still while Kaoru nears, letting that hand rest upon his snout. He gets a good sniff of it while its there, snorting lightly then before he gives the hand a nudge. It's a little confusing, this reaction from the other human. Much to the contrast of his brother. Strange humans indeed.
totheright: (cute)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-17 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
"If you say so." But now Kaoru is... a little distracted. He bends down to inspect the Dragon more closely, smiling unconsciously at the nudge. "What sort of name do you think we should give him?"
b2_dragon: (:9)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2014-02-17 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
     With this doofy look? Probably not, but if they ever got into a tight spot, Toothless could show them how fierce he was. For the moment, he seems content to just get to know these two humans a little better.

     As Kaoru bends down for a closer look, the dragon tilts his head. It's kind of strange, how eager these humans are to come so close to him. His tail swishes from one side to the other as he looks on.
totheright: (careless)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-17 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"So nothing like Batman or Vengeance Of The Night, huh." He thinks about it for a little, making a face as he ponders. And then - "Shadow?"

Kaoru is artistic, okay, but that doesn't mean he's creative with naming.
b2_dragon: (pet me)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2014-02-18 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
     He wrinkles his nose as he's poked. Really, hadn't Hikaru learned the first time? With a small snort, he nudges the offending hand away. Does that mean he can poke you back, Hikaru? Keep at it and he just might.
totheright: (calculating)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-18 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"We're not calling him 'Idiot'," Kaoru huffs. "He's too cute, and Milord is too stupid. It wouldn't work." He gives the dragon a calculating look. "He looks more goofy than idiotic anyway."
b2_dragon: (hehe~n)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2014-02-18 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
     That's much better than poking. Seeing Kaoru look at him, Toothless eyes him right back. What?

     He's getting a little bored of sitting there, however, and all these two are doing is talking. Turning his attention away from the twins, the dragon looks around to see if there's anything else interesting to investigate while he's here.
totheright: (chill)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-19 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Cowboy-themed." Give him a moment now. He sticks a finger up in the air when he has it. "What about something like-" he poses dramatically, then says, "Red-Winged Thunder!"

C'mon. Hikaru has to admit that sounds cool. And Kaoru will be looking at him expectantly, not noticing at all that the dragon's attention has shifted to the rest of the ship.
b2_dragon: (pet me)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2014-02-20 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
     The two are still talking, so Toothless figures there's no point in sitting around. He looks towards the gangway leading up to the ship. That's where the other one had come from, right?

     The dragon slinks along towards it, but just before he can try going up, something else catches his eye- a splash in the water. He edges along the dock, peering at the waters intently.
totheright: (casual)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-20 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Hugs are always okay. Well, not always, but always from Hikaru. Kaoru squeezes back, a smug sense of victory practically radiating off of him. "Well, you know me. Mr. Creative and all."

And then the dragon's - wait, no - Red-Winged Thunder's movements catches his attention. Kaoru pauses for a moment before asking, "can he swim?"
b2_dragon: (hisshiss)

[personal profile] b2_dragon 2014-02-21 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
     The water is too far below for him to make any quick snatches at fish even if they came close enough to the surface, but that doesn't stop Toothless from watching for them. He looks up slightly when he sees that the twins have noticed he's gone off. Well, guess that means no fishing.
totheright: (chill)

[personal profile] totheright 2014-02-23 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey. Red-Winged Thunder." It's the first attempt at calling him by that name. Kaoru winces. They're going to have to come up with a nickname - and fast. "Let's get on the ship, boy. C'mon." And here he grins over at Hikaru before motioning over his shoulder. "Follow us."
