01. TRAINING (closed to established cr)

[ bellus used to shake her head at dutch, complaining that she was always fighting dragons. dutch never thought that would become a literal thing, but this place has made that happen.

something else this place made happen? dutch finding a tiny baby dragon in the woods that followed her home. she has no idea how it got there or why she's keeping it or even what she's supposed to do with it. it (she) is roughly the size of a sheep, slender in build, with emerald green scales covering her entire body.

dutch decides to name her lucy. it doesn't mean anything.

in the first twenty four hours of lucy following dutch home, lucy tries to eat dorian the kinkajou three times, climbs onto a shelf, nests in alvis' old shirt that dutch still keeps in her apartment (which is a mess, thanks to ysverai and everything that happened in the undead dragon's wake) and almost sets a table on fire when she coughs.

so that's happening. ]

I'm going to train you. [ dutch tells lucy. step one: fill a spray bottle with water and spray lucy whenever she does something she's not supposed to. step two: enlist the help of a friend. step three: ??? ]

I don't even know what I should teach her.

02. REBUILDING / A BONFIRE (ota)

[ dutch's apartment is a mess. it's still standing, but that's about the only thing that can be said for it. so she's cleaning it up to the best of her abilities while there's a kinkajou dancing around the place, climbing on anything and generally getting in the way, and a dragon is lazing, belly up, in the sun.

around sundown, dutch has set a bunch of stones from a crumbled wall in a circle near that crumbled wall and is building a fire in the stone circle. her oven's wrecked and the crumbled wall means good air circulation, so why not build a bonfire in the middle of her apartment? #justdutchthings

the trip into the woods that got her lucy the dragon also yielded an animal that she's prepped to roast over the fire. lucy's watching proceedings very carefully all of the sudden.

come help with the rebuilding efforts or join her for some meat? she's got alcohol aplenty, too, that she pilfered from a bar so damaged it can no longer serve as a bar. ]

03. WILDCARD

[Lance opens his mouth, then closes it again. For a long moment, he's just too busy staring at Dutch to even think of how to respond to that???]

...oh.

[Holy shit that was obvious??? His eyes drift back towards the dragon, but when he realizes he, Lance Lastname, is actually checking for a freaking dragon dick that isn't there, he gives himself a whole body shake as it to scrub the thought out of him. All he wanted was to make sure nobody was dying here, and now he's thinking about dragon penises. THANKS.]

I didn't.... [SUBJECT CHANGE.] Hi, I'm Lance.

[motivation]

[ it was obvious. it probably is obvious. and what's wrong with thinking about dragon penis? it's just nature and biology and physiology and shit. (dutch is as far as one can get from a scientist as possible, but she's an assassin, or she was. bodies and bodily functions are not something she's ever had the luxury of being shy about. ]

Dutch. Hi.

[ a beat during which she considers him. then - ] Want a drink? [ why the hell not? ]
