Private Finished Among Nature

"Oh, you're one of the DCA students," he was curious now, that whole thing had really rocked the island. "Well, welcome to 2019," he'd scratch at his cheek. "As for being asleep for so long.....welllllll..we dragons are long lived beings, I'd be fine," he'd say with a chuckle.

He saw that grin, a smirked back at her, a playful, cocky smirk, that could have also been considered cute. "I assure you I am," he'd say, sticking his tongue out at her for a second, "beautiful blue hair, matching eyes," he was joking obviously, "plus them muscles on me." The clothes he currently wore didn't show them, but he was very muscular for someone his age.

The dragon would poke at the wine bottle with his foot. "Mind if I have some now?" he was curious now, he was guessing it wasn't as strong as the first alcoholic drink he tried.

He took a sip of the wine, it was ok, he wasn't really sure what he'd been expecting from it. "You managed to get ahold of it awfully fast," he'd say, actually a little curious about it, "hasn't been that long since everyone from DCA was unfrozen." Age could be funny on the island, but she looked around his age, to young to buy legally.

"I'd probably fare better if I did the big sleep in my dragon form," he'd say, putting the cap back on the wine. "Hard dragon scales would probably deal with the elements better, though not sure how the fur and feathers I've been growing would handle it."

Seemed like she was calming down, he could sense her emotions easing down a little. "Whatcha think of everything? You woke up at an interesting time?" so much was happening now.

"Yeah.....feathers getting like that might mess with my flying," he'd admit, "last thing we need is a dragon crashing into everything," he'd say the last thing a bit jokingly. He was kinda curious if he'd do well sleeping that long, he'd heard of some dragons being able to go dormant for a long time and being fine.

The dragon would look at her. "You know.....if you need help adjusting I could help," he'd say with a shrug. "Everything's changing so fast now, the island's changing, magic's changing, no one really knows what's happening anymore."

He'd ask for another drink, taking a sip of the wine if she said yes. "So yeah...I'm around if you need help," he'd shrug, "usually here in the woods, or at work...which also happens to be next to the woods."

"Whatcha snickering at?" he'd ask with a smirk. "The thought of me waking up like that? Or me crashing or something?" he'd ask with a chuckle. "So cruel, we just met and you're already laughing at my potential hardships," he was obviously joking, it could be heard in his voice.

He'd take another sip of the wine, he was picking up her emotions again, sad hopeless emotions. He made a mental note to look into whatever this was.

Then he noticed the flower and he'd give it a gentle poke. "Looks like you got a little piece of nature poking out there," he'd tilt his head curiously. "Does that happen often?"

He'd chuckle when she elbowed him. "Oh I'll definitely hold you to that promise," he'd say with a smirk. "Nothing more epic than the growley laugh of an amused dragon," though the laugh was only growley when he was in dragon form.

"Picking flowers out of your hair doesn't sound so bad," he'd gently pull the flower from her hair, sniffing it. "Smells nice, at least this way you never have to use perfume," he'd say with a small smile.

"That said....why the hate part?" he'd tilt his head, "did nature cause your big naps?" He knew fauns usuall had a big connection to nature, though it wasn't hard to tell th hat she wasn't a normal faun.
