"I guess it's not a bad aura," it had a calming affect which wasn't a bad thing, and it had helped him sleep, cleared his mind. "And I can't really blame you for something you can't control," she seemed like a nice girl, pretty too, so at least he woke up to someone friendly.

He'd blink in surprise at her honesty, that certainly wasn't the answer he expected. "Immortality....I have a longer lifespan than humans...so I get that a bit." The young dragon would let out a thoughtful hum, looking her over.

"Well....thank you," he'd say, being genuinely grateful, it'd been kind of her. "So, what were you doing out here?" he'd ask before chuckling a little, "besides helping grumpy dragons."

With a sigh and an empathetic smile at Eein, Ília nodded, knowing well "Tis to be expected of Manta Carlos. I was told this would be a place I could feel at home, and justifiably so. Maybe with time I will forget of my fear.". At least she was quick to come out of the depressing thoughts that crept on her but could never stick to her.

"I am glad my presence did help. But to answer your question, I was praying to many Gods in gratitude to the end of our long journey. I've been doing it for a good time now, every day, or every week at least. Whether those Gods are real or otherwise... If we believe we may meet them one day."

"This island....its a good place," he'd say with a nod, "a good place to be." It was home to him, even if he occasionally missed Alaska and his family home there. "You'll figure it out....find a place here." It seemed like a haven for outsiders, for the supernatural who had no place to go.

"Praying to gods?" he wasn't one to worship another being, the very idea of it was strange to him. "Well....lots of gods here...and children of gods, so whatever gods you pray to are probably real." It seemed like pretty much everything exists, especially here on Manta Carlos.

He'd glance around. "Can I walk with you?" she seemed nice to talk to. "I don't pray...but..talking to you seem nice." The aura was a factor, but he'd still find her nice to talk to.

"I'm sure I will... Maybe, who knows, I could find myself having my own family here.", maybe a bit too soon for Ília to think about it, but one can dream, right? "I suspected as much, it would be an once in a lifetime to meet a God. Or in our case, not so much of once in a lifetime.", who knew again how long would they live?

There was still a long road ahead of them, plus... "Of course, let's walk together. Maybe you could guide me somewhere you like, it's pleasant to be close to you.", the comfort Eein caused her was from just being a dragon. That alone meant a lot. Staying by his side, she folded a wing around him with a gentle smile.

Eein would blink in surprise, glancing at the wing as it wrapped around his shoulders. It felt nice, warm, usually he'd be against a stranger doing something like that, but between her being nice and the aura he decided to leave it.

"Uh....there's this nice clearing with a spring not far from here." The dragon would lead her in the proper direction, taking a trail her knew. "So...how long have you lived here?" he'd ask, wanting to chat as they walked, not wanting things to be quiet, might get awkward.

"Are you student?" she looked as though she could be in high school, or maybe in college. "I'm in high school at the academy.".

It was a first for her, to hug someone with her wings. Ília couldn't describe how it felt, she could feel all of Eein in her grasp there, too complex for words, but felt... Familiar in a way she couldn't describe. A feeling that she had before but couldn't remember when nor how. That thought however didn't linger long.

"I know that clearing, yes... I drink from the spring sometimes on my way back. My guess is that it is a popular spot!", someone with the sight the phoenix girl had could see places like that in detail from far and since her route to the lake was via air. As for how long she has been around... "I think two months. Been taking remedial classes and I too am in high school. My education is not severely lacking in completion, being home schooled came with the advantage of making my own pace."

He'd continue to walk, not minding the wing around his shoulders, it felt nice. "Yeah, it's a nice spot," he'd nod, "its peaceful, the water is always nice and cool." Indeed explored the forest quite thoroughly, finding all the best spots for relaxing or hunting and camping.

"I was homeschooled too," he'd say with a chuckle, "coming here, switching to an actual school, it was a bit weird." His life had been quite isolated before coming here, living deep within the Alaskan wilderness away from everything.

"Are you liking it? The classes that is," her being in remedial meant they wouldn't have any classes together. "Actually....what do you think of the island as a whole? There's a lot to it...I can show you around if you ever need any help."

Ília was indeed familiar with it, to the point she stated "Sometimes in the way back it's best to lie next to it and dip my hand in it, feeling the coolness between my fingers.". Unlike him, she doesn't hunt, however she likes to wind down in fresher places as well.

That was no surprise, to know Eein was homeschooled, but if it had been any it would have been a pleasant one. But one thing she had to agree: "Can't deny, it was weird as well for me. But so far I'm comfortable, the remedial classes are just to help me catch up with changes in the educational system, soon enough we might be seeing each other in class."

"As for the island... There's a reason I knew about it for long yet decided to visit it last: I wanted to live here ever since, so I needed to finish our journey in this precise island. There are still places for me to see in here up close however."

"Yeah the spring is really nice," he'd agree, "it's good to drink from, there's a good swimming spot nearby, I think they both come from the same water source." He loved the woods and everything in it, it was basically a second home to him.

He'd nod. "Yeah, we might have some classes together eventually," he wasn't completely sure how the school handled people with the various types of immortality. "You look....eighteen or so? Hard to say with the immortality though."

The dragon's nose would twitch. "I can smell the fresh water now.....also a family of rabbits watching us from the bushes." He'd decided against hunting any members of the rabbit family, he wanted to leave them in peace.

"Hm, a swimming spot... Maybe I should bathe there...", her bird side chirped in, as Ília imagined herself taking a dip there. While she couldn't see fresh water yet, the sight blocked greatly, she certainly could spot the rabbits with a glance. "I would be little surprised if other creatures came to us, that kind of thing happens when I'm around sometimes. With time, I got used to that.", of course it had to be a common occurrence for the winged girl.
