Dragons in our Midst

((I tried watching that movie, I couldn't get myself to like it. I don't know why :l Oh well))

"Good, cause I think we're all soaked. Wait..." Derek looked back. "Everyone except for Aurora, thanks to umbrella man!" He chuckled to his own joke.

Aurora rolled her eyes. "Wow, great joke, haha."

((Derek is lie my dad: usually pretty cool, but once in a while has moments XD))

((Derek is lie your dad? XD I tease))

Eric blushed and turned away from Derek, trying to hid it. Yuan opened the doors to the large, gothic mansion. He helped Eric into a chair by the hallway and called out "DAAAaaaad! Mr. Robin's here!"

Leon came into the main room and said "welcome"

((Whoops lol))

Derek smiled. "Leon! It's great to see you again! This is my daughter Aurora, and another dragon child, um... Eric! That's it!" He turned to Eric. "Sorry I forgot for a second there. We were rushed. Speaking of which, we need to treat Eric's wounds now."

Leon went to Eric and looked at his wound. Eric winced quietly, then wondered why did I try to be quiet?. Leon took him to another room and said "Yuan, lead them to the guest rooms please" Yuan nodded and did as told.

Derek and Aurora followed Yuan to the guest rooms. They had separate rooms from each other. Aurora sat on the bed and fell back on it. Whew! What a day!

Later, Eric walked in and said "Knock knock"

Aurora sat up. "Eric, hey! Um... how are you feeling? Got bandaged up?"

Eric nodded and asked "how've you been holdin'? You alright?"

Aurora sighed. "I found out I was a dragon child yesterday, you coming over injured, being chased down by 'slayers', and now in some mansion where we have to hide in... I'm probably holding up better than I should be." She chuckled a bit. "Well, I'm not normal anyway, even before I found out I'm related to a dragon."

She looked up at Eric. "So... how have you been dealing with these crazy few hours?"

Eric groaned and replied "I was stabbed by my Aunt, chased down with a bloody shoulder, grew wings, aaaand spent the rest of my time getting stitched up. I'm peachy" He chuckled and added under his breath "but I did meet you, so I guess it's worth it"

Aurora fell back on the bed. "So we both had eventful days. Greeeat... you know what, I'm so tired and freaked out by everything else I think I'm over that drawing you made of me. I think it was just plain luck. You must have a good photo like memory, eh?" She put her hands over her face and exhaled, but when her breath touched her hands she jerked them away. "Arg! Still hot..."

Eric stiffened and said "I-I told you: I drew that before I met you" When she felt her breath he asked "you alright?"

"Ehh.... well... I think my power is fire breathing, but it doesn't seem to actually work at the moment. My breath's just hot... I wonder when I will start breathing fire."

Eric replied "maybe it's emotion based? Of you need a special trigger word?"

((Eric has lame ideas. Oh, speaking of ideas I wanted to ask about the powers dragon children have. Could you give some examples of what powers they can and can't have? Just a few more than what's in the rules list. I want to make sure of the 'theme' for lack of a better word))

"Haha, a word? Like... 'flame on'!" She opened her mouth, but of course no flames came. She laughed anyway. [i]I wonder if he'll get the reference?[/i}

((I dunno if you get it, but I felt like saying it XD))

Eric chuckled and asked "really? Fantastic Four reference?"

Aurora grinned. "Yeeep." Her stomach made a huge rumbling noise. She crossed her arms over it and turned a bit pink in the cheeks. "Hehe... I guess I'm hungry." She stood up. "Wanna go down to the kitchen and get some food?"

((My hunger gave me this idea lol))

Eric offered his hand and said "sure, let's go"


((Bein' a gentleman))

Aurora looked at his hand, and then moved past it and to the door. She walked fast ahead of Eric. Gotta stop blushing!

((She's not used to the gentleman type thing, and she's flattered but doesn't want to show it XD))

Eric chuckled again and followed to the kitchen. Yuan was there, labeling everything so everyone could figure out where what they wanted.

"Hey!" Aurora said, "Good idea. I would've been lost if you weren't labeling things. So... are we on our own for food or are one of us making food for everyone? I'm good either way.:

"If you are hungry I can cook something for you" replied Yuan
