The dragon began swimming back to the banc in a doggy-paddle-like motion. "I'd like to see you hold your breath that long!" He responded to his rider's initial jibe aware that whilst she quite liked the occasional swim, she was by no means a fish. "I learned from the best Manisha, I learned from the best..." He replied to her implication that she was stupid. He couldn't quite tell but it looked like the other human was rather surprised to see him. He supposed that had he been in her situation, he would have been too. The fact that his rider didn't quite know who she was didn't concern him too much, so long as she wasn't actually a foe. He sensed his rider's mischievous and slightly downright evil intent a little too late. "Don't!" He called out a little too late. She'd tried and to push her, whether she succeeded or not was another matter. It was times like these, very rare times when he regretted not being a blood thirsty man-eating beast and thought that perhaps taking pity on that young orphan may have been akin to saving a ravenous monster... (.C : I know, most fun I've had posting in a while )

Suddenly, Amelie was being blocked and then pushed backward. She went with the shove, and managed a back flip, placing both hands in the muddy water behind her in order to push off and land on her feet. She was that much closer to the dragon now, though, and she was acutely aware of that. "Okay, what are you going to do with me? I thought Excalibur was a bunch of nice people who respected all life. Even teenagers!" her voice went up a little at the last word and she shook her head, wishing she had her bow and arrows on her. "I'm just a little rogue, okay? Nothing fancy, no affiliation, I just fend for myself. I just deal with myself. So, what can myself do to get out of this?" manishanoctus

Manisha was rather impressed by the way that the girl caught herself. She wondered if she'd been trained or if it was something that she had learnt herself. She was getting a little close to Noctus, that might have been daunting for some but anyone who knew the blue dragon would be aware that they might as well have a sheep behind them. She'd only seen the dragon truly angry a couple of times and the only time he actually killed was if they needed to eat. She was perfectly safe.
Turning around, she began making her way back to the spot that she had been sitting at earlier. The teen's words meant little to her. She couldn't care less what happened to her now or who she belonged with, she wasn't a threat to anything other than Manisha's current plan to perhaps have a little nap in the warm sun. She'd never heard of the band of rogues that the girl had mentioned, she knew that groups like them existed having had several not necessarily pleasant encounters with them in the past and if she said that they weren't a foe, then who was she to not believe her?
She was aware of Noctus' disapproving look, no doubt he would try lecturing her later on once the girl had gone. So be it, she was used to it...

Noctus let out a frustrated grumble as he watched his rider begin to walk off back to where she had originally been resting. He continued his paddle to the side, noticing the stranger. She claimed to be a teenager. It took the dragon a moment to remember just what those were... Ah yes, teenagers and puberty how fun that had been to go through with Manisha : the mood swings, the acne... He was just glad that she'd never had any interest in boys (not that they'd really known any), he wasn't sure that he would have been able to put up with any love life drama. From what he had gathered, these 'somewhere between childhood and adulthood' versions of human beings should still be under the care of their parents. Where were this girl's? He wondered.
Because of his past experiences with these rather hormonal human beings, the blue dragon was naturally a little bit cautious. Considering how his rider had treated the girl though, he considered that he owed her at least some semblance of an explanation for her actions; not that there was much of one of course. "Don't take it personally." He advised in a soft voice. "Manisha is angry at the world and the only way that she knows how to deal with it is by lashing out." He gave the young woman a brief glance, wondering if she needed to talk about something.
"I am Noctus." He introduced himself with a slight bow. "And who might you be?"

Amelie spun to look at the dragon as it spoke, slightly jumping as she did so. "Oh, well, that's... I can understand that." She had dealt with the crazy world plenty but she dealt with it with silliness and humor rather than coldness and cruelty. She shrugged, placing one hand on her hip an reaching the other hand up to pull the wet hair out of her face. "I'm Amelia," she responded, giving her own small bow in turn. She wasn't really sure what was proper in dragon culture and etiquette but eh... just do what the dragon does, right? noctusmanisha

Manisha made her way back to where she had been resting. Her book still lay there but she wouldn't touch it again today. The strain on her eyes had given her one of her usual headaches and to make matters worse, the irritation from her encounter was yet to ware off. It was be a wise and cautious thing to give her some space. She turned to face her dragon. The young woman didn't care much for him talking to others. Ordinarily, she would have said something but found herself lacking the will to do so now.
What did she care if he spoke with the girl? It was a waste of time but they didn't exactly have anything better to do. She let out a sigh, trying to rid herself of her remaining frustration before closing her eyes. It was warm and whilst the ground wasn't quite as comfortable as her bed, it wouldn't be the first time that she had drifted off to sleep on it. A small part of her remained awake, ready to intervene should the teen suddenly turn hostile but for the moment, that seemed unlikely. A little nap would soothe her nerves and rid her of the headache which had begun to trouble her, maybe afterwards Noctus would agree to carry on reading to her.

His rider was resting, good. She could do with a little cooling off. He let out a soft sigh, they would have to talk later, if she would listen that was. For now, he would have to deal with the rather more reasonable human. She seemed harmless enough, there was no harm in letting her go. Those scouts that she had mentioned no longer seemed to be around, he hoped that he would be able to sense them if they were. It looked like they were done here, as Manisha would have put it. With no real danger, he could go back to his swim in the lake, although his near-drowning experience had been enough to put him off paddling for the day.
It was with a certain amount of goodhearted amusement that he noticed the girl return his bow. He wondered if she'd ever had a regular talk with a dragon before or if the only ones she'd ever encountered were the ferocious man-eating kind. "Well, a pleasure to meet you Amelie." He replied. Perhaps with a more diplomatic approach, he could get some more information out of the teen. "Again, I apologize for my rider. You're not injured are you?" Humans could be squidgy things at times.

"Eh, no I'm fine. And don't... worry about it..." she glanced back over at the woman who was so hostile only moments ago. She was a rider then and this was her dragon companion? Amelie had never really understood how all of that worked, scientifically and all. "So, you're Excalbur, eh? Always thought they were a myth until recently..." she admitted. Then she started to process of ringing out her hair, "so are you a water dragon, then? You were under there a while!"

.C : Seeing as Manisha's sleeping I'll just reply with Noctus for now.
.......With Manisha now sleeping or at least dozing, Noctus deemed that it should be safe enough to relax a little and chat with this young human. Unlike his rider, he did require a certain amount of company and conversation to prevent himself from becoming insane. He didn't know much about Amelie but she seemed to be a decent person, she'd simply been unlucky to stumble upon the young woman on one of her slightly more difficult days. At least she hadn't been hurt. "Whilst we are part of Excalibur, she tends to prefer to keep her distance." The dragon gestured at the sleeping young woman by the tree. It explained why they weren't always in the loop when something serious was going on. "Are you here to join or simply curious?" He asked wondering if she might have been seeking the group. They hadn't been easy to find and once they had found the group, he'd struggled to convince his rider to join. Proud and fond of her independence, Manisha hadn't been very easy to convince, least of all when it had come to sometimes having to accept orders from another. The price for her staying were these excusions away from camp to the quiet and abandoned woods for just the two of them. "I'm flattered that you think so." Came his response to her assumption that he was a water dragon "-but I'm actually an air dragon. Having Manisha up here in a bad mood is a pretty good incentive to hold your breath though."

She shook her head as he asked if she was there to join or curious, "not joining, no... I guess I just want to know as much as I can about all the groups around me so I know how to avoid the ones that I think are... dangerous," she shrugged. "I don't want to make any enemies. I'm glad to be just staying out of all of it..." she knew that sounded selfish but she didn't care, she was just a kid! She couldn't deal with all the wars and rumors and whatnot. She needed to keep her distance.
Amelie laughed as he mentioned his riders temper, "awe, you must have to deal with it a lot, eh? You must love her," She turned back to look at the now sleeping woman. She looked intense even in her sleep. She turned back to the dragon. "Air, that's pretty neat. If I ever bonded with a dragon well... I have no idea what I'd be good at," she admitted. "I'm pretty good at climbing trees and tree hopping... that's kind of airy right?" she chuckled.
