The winding series of caves in the island was always a pain for Percival. Whenever she felt the familiar twinge in her scales that told her there was work to be done, the SeaWing dropped everything- as long as she wasn't apprehending somebody else- and flew in the direction her enchantment told her to go in. Admittedly it was exhausting work, what with the constant flying and fighting. But Percival didn't dream of doing anything else. There wasn't really anything else she could even think of doing with her life. It didn't take her long to find the dragon in the caves. An amateur, a dragon that flew off with a pilfered piece of jewelry from some poor merchant's stall and hid there. They folded their wings to their side as the tan-scaled SeaWing approached, and sooner than later Percival had the piece back in her claws. Pocketing it, she made a mental note to deliver that back to... whomever it could be stolen from. Would take some tracking... Despite the beauty of the island, Percival wasn't really looking at it. There was one thought in her mind at all times, killing any relaxation the SeaWing may have had in her life. Seashells and vistas mattered not to her. She just wanted to be useful.She pads out of the caves, stretching her wings and dusting off sand from her scales before staring into the water, debating whether she was close enough to swim for home. shroomkurt |

The small SeaWing stood next to the shore , trying to recollect all of their shells . Most of them had already been washed out to sea by the crashing waves that continued to harass the poor dragonet , but they had no other place to sell their shells . They continued to carefully scoop up the various pieces of jewelry and loose wares , noticing the yellow SeaWing coming towards them . They rushed back to their "stand" , which was more so some palm fronds stretched out across the sand with seashell jewelry sprawled on top . They were too busy to notice if anything had been taken , instead trying to lay out as many wares as possible to attract a new possible customer . The shells sparkled in the sun , as if they were trying to catch the attention of the bigger dragon . Bronzewing |

The glimmer of the shells in the warm sun attracted Percival's eyes over to the dragonet's little stand. She couldn't help from smiling a bit- such a small little dragon, doing her best to sell shells over in this rather lonely island! Of course, nobody would really buy shells- they were everywhere, and had so little value... She stepped over, unable to resist asking the dragonet what she was doing there. She was a protector of the peace, and the peace included even dragonets out in the middle of nowhere by a spot where she had just apprehended a criminal (not a very effective criminal, but still a criminal). "Hello there, young one." she says with a slight smile of her jaws. "What are you doing all the way out here...? Not many dragons come around to these beaches-" She looks around at the island around them- "or this place at all, in truth. Not the most popular spot." The warm smile stays on her face, hiding her nervousness. She really did hope she didn't frighten the dragonet. What if they're scared of my uniform? Or my face? Or my scale coloration- has anybody even been scared of that yet? What if they think I'm a SandWing...? raced around in her mind, accentuating the fact that she doesn't really talk to many kids. shroomkurt |

The dragonet looked up , staring at the sandy SeaWing . "..Um..Hello there .. " they said , their voice a bit shaky " Uhh.. I live nearby .. " They pointed to a small cave , partially submerged . They were pointing to their home , a rather cozy one at that . " .. Could I interest you in anything ..? " , they said , smiling at her .

Percival looks over at the caves the dragonet had pointed to. She shouldn't be surprised that dragons lived around here- why wouldn't dragons live around here, after all? As long as it wasn't a battlefield, SeaWings could be found almost anywhere that had water present. Turtle Shell Island was no different.
She wonders if she should ask the dragonet if she lives with anybody. Most dragons that look as young as this one still had parents to take care of them and make sure they didn't wander off. But if Percival was a parent, she would have already poked her head out of the cave to see what was going on.
"Nice looking cave." she says with a polite dip of her head. "Do you... live with anybody?" Her expression twisted into one of concern. She didn't yet look at the small dragonet's wares, finding them to be more interesting than the shells they were selling.

"..Uhh..No actually .. I live alone .. ! " they tried keeping a smile on their face . " Do you want to come inside ? I can show you around ! " The dragonet jumped around excitedly , quickly picking everything up and placing it in a pouch made out of coconut shells . Slug wondered if the SeaWing was from around Turtle Shell Island , they had never seen a SeaWing that looked like that . " So..Where are you from ? " Bronzewing |

shroomkurt"No parents? No family?" Percival asked, her voice containing a noticeable note of concern. "You seem rather... young to be living alone." She sadly shakes her head. "I'm not sure I can approve of that- but at least you would have somebody watching over you for as long as I'm here." she says, partially to herself. "I suppose I'll come inside, then." she nods. If the dragonet is hiding some criminal cavalcade... she'll deal with it once she gets there. But she really does want to help out this dragonet. "I'm from the mainland." she explains. "I wander often due to my job. At the moment I've been working in an outpost on the banks of the Kingdom of the Sea."

Bronzewing"Well..uhh..It's alright ! I've been living alone here for a while...Though I wont stop you from sticking around!" SeaSlug smiled . " Your company would be nice ! " " The mainland ..? " They looked confused , staring at Percival with a little confused frown . They gently pushed aside some hanging flowers that acted as a curtain to the entrance of their home , allowing Percival to come inside with more ease .

"Well, that's not... a great situation." the SeaWing admitted. "You really should get somebody to care for you- or if not that, to at least keep you some company." She seemed greatly worried about this dragonet that she had technically just met. "I do plan to stick around for a while. No reason to move on yet." Besides, maybe she could pick up on some other criminals around the area. "Yes, the mainland- the rest of Pyrrhia? Have you... never been there?" Her voice is full of concern again. "It's where most dragons live. Even most SeaWings live underwater close to it. There's other tribes, and cities, and... you do know about that stuff, I hope." she smiled. No- she refused to believe that the poor dragonet had been there for so long that they didn't know about the mainland. Percival stepped inside, looking up at the hanging flowers. shroomkurt |
