Straga sat staring fixedly at the lake. He's lost his fight with Destra, and now as they had agreed he was spending time getting to know his regalia before he swapped her with her sister. Why the hell did she pick the lake? This was fine though, it was nice here. Peaceful even.

Tori approached him and settled down next to him. Looking him up and down, Destra did a number on him for sure. "So... how are things with you?" he asked.

"Well... the other day was a thing for sure," she looked him up and down. "How are your wounds?"

He grunted and shrugged. "Had worse."

The dragon's attention was drawn by some movement little ways off. Someone else was here as well.

Bel stopped when she heard voices approaching and turned around, she had assumed the area would be relatively clear with nobody around. Not that she was overly shy or anything like that, she just enjoyed her moments of solitude. Being around people constantly, especially when she was just starting to regain her powers was tiring.

Seeing the pair, she sort of waved hesitantly at them. Catching herself doing this, Bel quickly stopped and dropped her hand, not entirely sure why she waving to two strangers. Odd? Maybe the goddess had placed them in her path, she thought as she slipped on her sandals and tossed a shirt over her head.

"Nice day for a swim..." she called out to them. "Are you thinking about going for a dip?" she asked as she headed towards them, frowning as she watched the girl hide behind the man like she was afraid of Bel.

"Between my injuries, and the fact that being submerged doesn't mesh well with my abilities... no," Straga grunted. He glanced at Cori who was hiding behind him for some odd reason. He stepped to the side, leaving her out in the open once again.

"Oh sorry I... I'm Cori. I'm not usually this jumpy. I'm also not swimming we just came here to talk."

Hearing the man had been injured, Bel glanced at him first with keen interest and then frowned slightly. "No, I should guess not then, lake water is bad for injuries. It could infect them," she agreed.

Watching as the dragon stepped aside, leaving the girl in the open, Bel hid an amused grin at this. "Hello there, Cori. I'm Bel, short for Beltane," she said introducing herself. "And talking is good, productive even..." she added as she sat down on a rock, making herself comfortable, clearly interested in what the two, such an unlikely pair, were doing down by the lake.

"Straga," the dragon grunted, his introduction and started to move away from the two girls. Cori knew exactly what he was doing, and moved closer to Bel as the dragon shifted. When he was finished, Straga settled reasonably close to them.

"So then, I take it you're a student here Bel?" he asked, because why else would she be swimming in the lake?

"Yep, remedial student actually," she informed them both, "I probably should be in my last year or second last, but I was mostly tutored privately and they thought it best just to place me in the remedial classes," she explained with a tiny shrug.

"What about you two? Students here too, or... something else, teachers??" she asked them curiously thinking that Straga seemed a little old to be a student, but remembering also that one could never tell with people on the island.

"Ah, well a relative of mine is a student here. He's about your age actually," the dragon let out a huff, and began preening his wings. Tori gave him a rather wary look, but seemed to relax quickly when she saw that the dragon was being fairly docile.

"I guess you could say I'm visiting with my sister. I'm just here for the Divine Right Tournament... if you heard of that," Tori nodded sagely. "Straga is my current partner. Don't let the horns and spikes scare you though... he's not actually all that bad."
