[Toothless sits down, head cocked as the man continues to talk. He's gotten used to the fact that humans liked to talk, and with enough exposure to them as he's had, he can at least understand a little by their tone and some of the words.

Dragons and fire are words he's well familiar with, but everything else... not so much. ]

[raavashing]

[Wan's smile brightened as he assumed the dragon was sitting down to encourage him to continue.]

Do you want to see? I'm sure I'm not nearly as good as you, but the more I practice, the better I'll become.

[The Avatar put his arms up, offering a proper salute and bow with one hand covering the other fist at heart level. When he came out of it, he settled into the first stance and punched his fist to the side, a quick gout of flame coming from it. He continued through the steps of the 'Dragon Dance', which took him on a circular path in front of Toothless.]

[b2_dragon]

[It looks like the human is going to do something interesting! Toothless gives Wan his full attention, and at the first appearance of fire, the dragon jumps. What was that!

The human continues to move, and the dragon peers after him.]

[raavashing]

[With every punch, kick, and open palmed strike, a small gout of flame was created. It moved with Wan. It came from within him as surely as the fire had come from within Toothless. The dance wasn't a long one, ending with Wan back in the same place he had started and his arms coming down for a final strike that produced the strongest flame. It wrapped around Wan in a circle from his left shoulder to his right knee for a split second before dissipating.

When he was done, Wan bowed to Toothless in exactly the same manner he had before starting. Then he relaxed and stood with one hand on his hip.]

What do you think? Could we practice together?

[b2_dragon]

[It's such an enticing performance to watch, and obviously it's not every day that you see a humsn spouting fire like a dragon.

Once Wan finishes, Toothless sits up again before awkwardly mimicking the bow. He'd been posed a question, and he has a feeling it has something to do with fire. While he's not sure how or what to answer, he can at least show his approval of the man with one of his gummy smiles. ]

[raavashing]

[When Toothless bowed to him and smiled, Wan was certain the Dragon had just agreed to practice with him. After all, what else could it mean? He brought his hands together and hunched his shoulders in excitement.]

Really? Thank you! This is an honor!

[b2_dragon]

[No really, what is this guy so excited about? He's not nearly as excitable as Tamaki, not to mention most of the Antoinette's crew. Well, it was nice to know that here was someone who could also do something with fire. He's not sure where it comes from since Wan doesn't appear to breathe it like the dragon does, but there's no denying what Toothless had seen earlier.

Smacking his mouth a bit, he turns and happily fires off another couple of violet flames into the sky.]

[raavashing]

[Wan could actually breath fire. Fire came from within and it was the breath that controlled it more than anything else. But he didn't usually have a reason to use fire breath.

Taking Toothless' shots as a way of celebrating on the dragon's end, Wan decided to have a little fun himself. As the second violet flame shot into the air, he took control of it and forced it to twist and dip back down toward the deck of the ship. It twisted again, the violet fading to a more normal red and orange as it trailed over the deck, moving as Wan moved, directing it with his body before shooting back up into the sky to explode like a firework.]

[b2_dragon]

[In a way, Wan's interpretation isn't far off. Toothless wiggles excitedly as he watches his fire manipulated by the man. Oh, now that's pretty neat! It's interesting watching Wan move as he does it, and as the fire explodes in such a shimmery fashion, the little dragon grunts his approval.]

[raavashing]

[Wan turned to look back at Toothless, then give a more theatrical 'thank you' bow at the approval. He followed that up by going over to sit on a barrel next to the one Toothless was on.]

I know you're very powerful and smart, so please don't take this the wrong way. But you're also really cute. And I've never gotten to touch a Dragon before. Could I maybe touch you?

[Wan held one hand up reaching out tentatively toward his new Master.]

[b2_dragon]

[Ah, the hand gesture. Toothless has come to expect this from everyone at some point or another. He eyes the hand that's extended towards him, sniffing at it before he pushes his face against Wan's palm.

Guess that's a yes.]

[raavashing]

[Wan had held his breath as soon as he reached his hand out. It came out in a rush as Toothless pressed his head forward.]

Wow. You're so warm.

[Wan's words were hushed, but full of energy. Like he wanted to shout and had to hold himself back from that much noise.

He splayed his fingers out over Toothless' head and then crooked his fingers back, lightly scratching at both sides and the top. The dragon was so small, his whole head fit snugly into Wan's palm. He shifted his fingers again and moved to scratch under Toothless' jaw as he would Mula, his catdeer friend. If Toothless didn't enjoy it, he expected the dragon would pull away or give him a look.]

[b2_dragon]

[It will become apparent enough that Toothless has no problems with being petted like this. He gives off a rumbly sort of sound, almost like he's purring. And then he sort of goes limp once Wan moves his hand in just the right place. YOU KILLED HIM WAN no just kidding.]

[raavashing]

[That was most certainly not the reaction he was expecting. But he was used to a much larger catdeer doing about the same when he managed to find the right spot, so the surprise didn't interrupt the scratching for more than a moment.]

I didn't realize dragons liked that so much.

[b2_dragon]

[Well, Toothless isn't about to go anywhere, content right where he is. At least he's not full-sized, otherwise Wan would have found himself collapsed upon.]

[raavashing]

[Wan happily continues the love fest, at least until Toothless either gets tired of him, or Wan ends up (finally) falling asleep.]

[b2_dragon]

[At that rate, they'll both end up asleep since Toothless won't budge. If the Avatar falls asleep first, he might find the dragon curling up beside or on his head.]

[raavashing]

[Wan will wake up with an oddly heavy feeling on the top of his head. When he reaches up, he'll feel dragon. He'll try to lift said dragon carefully off his head so he can cradle him in his arms and continue the interrupted scratching as he gets himself awake for the day.

He'll try to remember that Toothless is his new fire master and not the adorable pet he's sort of acting like.]
