[Unacceptable. Completely and totally unacceptable.

Unhelpful nurse aside, did they (whoever "they" was; someone or a group of someones with enough nerve to line a bank vault) honestly think he would accept news about being kidnapped simply because it was cutely drawn on a whiteboard? In their deluded dreams.

He's going to explore alright, but not because he's "sad"--because he is livid and wants to find a way out as soon as possible. He has much more important things to be doing than milling about some school.

So he's striding through the hallways, hands clasped behind his back, looking for anything at all that might prove out of the ordinary or useful. Like, say, a person eventually coming into his sights.]

You there.

[Considering he looks and sounds, what, all of fifteen? He understands. Not everyone here is going to know of X the legendary hero, unfortunately. ~~He'll just have to inform them.~~

He waves his hand dismissively.] Quite alright. Lifespans are drastically different between species after all.

...How old are you, if you don't mind my asking?

That's true enough!

[It is weird imagining him so old, but... well, he sure looks like a robot. She can't imagine that he's lying.]

I'm... well, seventeen, now. Why?

[A shrug] I was only curious what a dragon's lifespan might be, in comparison.

To be honest, I don't know if I have a different lifespan or not. I aged normally, and still seem to be doing that, so...

Who knows?

[An inquisitive headtilt.] Do you not know any other dragons who could tell you?

No.

[Her voice is a bit quieter.]

I'm the only dragon I've ever known in my own world. I met one here, but she's gone now, and has been for a while, as far as I can tell. So I'm the only one.

...I see.

[He looks away, unsure how to handle the sudden mood change.]

I apologize for bringing it to attention.

No, it's all right. It's not like you knew, and it's nothing new, you know?

[She smiles again, shaking her head as they get outside.]

I guess it's weird I still feel anything about it. I didn't even used to think of it.

All right. Wait here, please, X-san.

Even so.

[He looks around, studying what he can see of their surroundings from his stopping point. Tropical. Fits everything he's been told about the school being on an island. Fantastic...

But, that can wait a moment. Right now he's been offered an interesting sight he doesn't want to end up missing.]

[Karasu steps a good ways from Copy X, stopping once she's sure she's a good enough distance away so she won't hurt him to the building. Closing her eyes, she pulls up that usual feeling of magic...

...and the change is all but instant. Where that pale, petite girl had been before, there's now a very large, very intimidating looking dragon on all fours, peering at Copy X intently.]

[WOAH NELLY.

Despite himself he takes a few steps back in shock, staring up at the creature with wide eyes.

When--how--he could have blinked and missed that! After watching the process head on he's still left confused for the most part, but at the same time in awe.

Different worlds, with people capable of all kinds of things, huh...it finally started to properly sink in.]

[Karasu gives a friendly growl, laying down a little and waving him over as best she can. He certainly seems to be interested, so she really doesn't mind if he wants to look her over.

Most people do.]

[He does, and takes a few hesitant steps before figuring it's okay to keep going and do so.

Is it alright if he pats her snout...?]

[It certainly is, and she even nuzzles his hand affectionately. If Copy X can tell, her scales are shockingly smooth, almost like a pearl, and definitely giving off a warm feeling.

Mischievously, her tail slides over, lightly tapping against his leg.]

[Wow, that's...not at all what he thought they might feel like. It's kind of nice, actually. Hope she doesn't mind more pats.

He stops when he notices the tapping against his leg, though, looking down.]

[Not at all, if the happy rumble in her throat is any indication. It's just her tail that's tapping him, though, nothing at all threatening. Though it is circling around him, he could very easily just step over the end parts of it if he really wanted out of the "circle."]

[Nothing to worry about, he decides, and he goes back to looking her in the eye the best he can while she's this big.]

I'm impressed. I wasn't sure what to be expecting, but it certainly wasn't something this magnificent.

[The growl this time is pleased, while also a little bit embarrassed. She's not exactly used to praise quite like that.

The tail slowly and lightly wraps around Copy X in a psuedo-hug, and she nuzzles him a bit more.]

[Oh, so that's what that is. He certainly doesn't know how to handle any kind of affection, and just sort of. Tenses up in response, freezing where he is.]

[That gets a confused blink from Karasu and she tilts her head a little, removing her tail quickly. Her only guess is that bothered him somehow, and as she doesn't really want to do that...

She tilts her head a little, making a noise of apology.]

[He takes a step away, shaking his head but still looking tense.]

No, it's alright. You caught me off-guard.

[She swaps back, giving an apologetic smile.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to.

I'm not entirely fond of being touched.

[Says the guy who was patting her nose a moment ago.]

I'll remember that for later.

[She's not going to ask. She gets the feeling that he doesn't want to talk about it.]

...Regardless, thank you for the demonstration. I enjoyed getting the chance to see such a thing.
