Nightly treasure hunt

Cheeto found herself suddenly lampless as a massive storm of scales rushed past her. The shock of an actual dragon rushing her was enough to put the poor little goblin into shock. When it started to sink in that she had not only had her lamp stolen but that it also seems to have cause quite a fuss. Some of those 'treasure hunters' were accosting the dragon for its choice, for the audacity of its actions... Huh, so much trouble over that lantern. It was an elven lantern dug out from the underground, though.

Cheeto found herself walking quietly over to the dragon as it was hassled, quite an odd sight, really. Ever since she came to the academy, she could never get used to situations like this. Humans were weird enough, so tall and awkward. This was a real dragon, and people were chastising it as though it couldn't cook the meat on their bones with its very breath. Yet there he was. He must've been young, because dragons were always humongous or from the island of Komodo. She moved past the young woman accosting the dragon for going after the lantern and the young man apologizing for the dragon, heading over to the magnificent reptile and moving until she could get close to his field of vision.

"C-Can I have my lantern back? Its only an old elven thing but I really like it, I found it underground the city near here." Her voice was a little shaky, but still came out as raspy as always. Cheeto's hands crept slowly until her long fingers could start to wrap around the lantern. She made no effort to pull it away from the dragon but she didn't let go, it was hers after all.

The appearance of the dragon apparently spurred everyone into action as Liney could feel the earth beneath her move as it followed the steps of everyone in the vicinity. She could feel a headache growing and she massaged her temples to try and get back some semblance of control over the voices in her head.

Seeing as both Catria and the other creature - a goblin? Liney wasn't sure- seemed to be invested in trying to talk to the dragon, Liney's gaze went toward who she guessed was the dragon's companion? Or was it the other way around? Either way, they seemed very comfortable around the dragon.

A small giggle escaped her lips as she recalled how he had been wheezing when he came in and calling the reptile a butt face before tackling it. It somehow reminded Liney of her and Vaughn.

His actions doing nothing to deter the dragon, he now seemed to have realized they have company. Liney found this incredibly amusing as she watched him try to clean himself off.

"Um, hello" Liney replied, glancing at the others, her smile widening a bit more when she saw what she thought was some form of tug of war with the dragon and Catria fussing over her bulbs.

"There's really no harm done, I think, although it would be great if he could give back the lamp. I'm not really sure if it's important or not? But yeah."
