Huilu heard Irso's words, loud and clear, and from deep in her chest Huilu let out a purring-like rumbling sound, her version of chuckling in this form.
"I am a story with many different forms. You have witnessed but a fraction of them."
Huilu answered, her voice now deeper and it had a strange echo to it, like multiple voices talking at once. It had also gained a new tone, like she was speaking with an accent, since Huilu's mouth wasn't properly shaped for speaking human languages in this form. She flapped her wings few times powerfully and did a small flip in the air. She let out another one of her roars, much more quiet and short this time, meant just for Irso, who was now flying next to Huilu's head. Huilu was very accustomed to flying, and thus she could easily move her head a bit and nudge Irso with her snout gently, warm expression in her eyes.

Huilu knew Irso well enough at this point, that she could guess what was going through his mind. He was probably curious about Huilu's dragon form, and perhaps about the dragon forms of the rest of Akt'Anir and Huilu's family. Irso was a curious soul like Huilu, but in a different way. Where as Huilu was more interested in how the world looked and affected her and people around her Irso wanted to know how it worked and what it was made of. In a way they completed each other in that sense, and it was a wonderful feeling. Huilu could even go as far as to call them soulmates, that was how deeply connected she sometimes felt to Irso.

Irso's words made Huilu dragon chuckle yet again, and she tilted her head so she could blow some air out of her nose on Irso, fluffing up his hair along with the wind. A playful sign of affection, that dragons often shared among each other.
"Then isn't it good that your mind is multiple times vaster than your body could ever be?"
Huilu said and tried winking, although for Irso it most probably looked like Huilu just blinked, since he could only see one eye at the moment.

Suddenly Huilu felt like going faster, and after yet again nudging Irso, this time to tell him to move away, she suddenly stopped flapping her wings and began free falling. And after few seconds of free falling Huilu straightened her wings and shot up quickly, towards the starry sky. In this form she didn't need to worry about getting cold, and she flew to a high and cold altitude, where she hovered for a bit, enjoying the view. From there she began to free fall again, but this time she gradually opened her wings and slowed her speed, and when she was flying at a leisurely pace again Huilu shifted back into her partial form, and looked around for Irso and worried whether or not she had lost him.

Oh! She could speak, Irso inwardly rejoiced at the fact he wouldn't be having a one-way conversation. He smiled at her sweet remarks and let his bashfulness show with a quick covered laugh. If only she knew the myriad of shapes hed taken and how little his actual brain was in comparison. It was a quick thought that would've given him a laugh if it hadn't run across his mind so many times. Surprisingly his students were among the nicer bunch and he received compliments on his knowledge numerous times. If his mind couldnt get any bigger his head sure could.

Irso drifted far to Huilu right as he shot up into the cool night air, eyes wide with amazement and analyzation. It seemed like being in her more natural form brought her great joy, a note for later, and her movement was far smoother then when she had partially shifted earlier. Irso eyed widened even more as he realized the large reptile he watched shoot up into the sky was now coming back down at a rather fast pace. Rather than get tackled back into the ground he took the obvious choice and chose to live.

Taking minuscule seconds to process his actions Irso dodged out of the way and watched as Huilu body turned back into its partial form only leaving the harsh wind of her natural form as a remembrance of what she really looked like. " You could've warned me." he was teasing as it was his fault for mindlessly looking at her, but placing the blame on her brought a smirk to his face.

"How would you feel if I turned into a dragon and ran into you." He put his hands on his hips playfully " I bet I'd make a good looking dragon so you'd love it." He blew an extravagant kiss toward her then laughed. He sped up to keep pace with Huilu but didn't shy away from pulling ahead of her and forcing her to keep up with him.

Irso was right by Huilu after she shifted back, ready to begin their banter anew. The smirk on his face was proof that he did not in fact blame Huilu, and she smiled with amusement behind her hand.
"For a mind as vast and sharp as yours I'm sure a warning would've been unneeded, wouldn't you say?"
Huilu teased right back with a chuckle, and with few flaps she flew closer to Irso.

"You are correct, I would love to see you in my people's form. You would be very handsome."
Huilu smiled playfully, and when Irso blew to her an extravagant kiss she caught the invisible thing with her hand and pressed said hand against her chest, right on top of her heart. She let out a small laugh and as Irso flew off and ahead and Huilu followed in suit. She caught up to Irso rather quickly, and as she looked down she saw they were on top of the forest. Good timing, because Huilu felt like she needed to sit for a moment.

"I shall go and look for a place to rest my wings. I'm afraid I'm still not used to flying in this form, it tires me quicker."
Huilu explained as she flew next to Irso so he could hear her. With that she began descending, scanning the forest for a tall tree. With her sharp vision it didn't take long to find one, a tree that had good thick branches even on top, and looked good to sit on. She looked back at Irso, gestured to the tree if he was following, and flew down to the tree, carefully landing on one of the upper branches. It looked more than sturdy enough to carry both her and Irso.

Irso took a mental note of Huilu's statement and started thinking about ways in which he could shape his form without killing himself. He'd also have to make up some sketches of potential looks, it would be a fun way to spend an evening at most. Having had this form for so long now he wondered how it would to shift once again into something less...him? No, it was still him but it wasn't the image his master had created him in. This was to be his peak...with a few alterations of course.

His eyes followed Huilus form as she slowly descended back down to the living earth. He had taken a stroll in the woods a few weeks back but had been lacking in a proper exploration of the place. Cataloging new plants and the magical beasts that inhabited the lush green expanse. With little effort, he flowed down not far behind Huilu and touched down on the tree lamp right after her.

"You did well considering how new that was for you. Your form could use some work but I can give you those lessons in private. Away from the prying eyes of birds and bugs." A small chuckle escaped him but he tried to keep a serious composure.

Floating down into a sitting position Irso looked around at their surroundings. There were a few woodland creatures that scurried away at the sudden arrival of two humanoid beings. Some magical in nature others more mundane. It was a specific mix that could only come about after years of nature creating it. "This place is rather romanctic...did you lure me out here on purpose?" He looked up at Huilu and gave a teasing smile as his eyes began to drift to the surroundings again. The feeling of unclaimed land could never be beaten.
