Daniel froze when he looked to to his side and noticed James and AEanna. His right claw, which had been moving forwards slowly returned to the floor. He flared his nostrils, sending water and mucus out in front of him. His tail idily swayed behind him in small movements and his wings slowly folded in. Not good! I can't fly like this.
James didn't respond to AEanna, keeping his sights on the dragon, his face screwed up in grim readiness. AEanna turned to confront him.
"James, Erica told me that she believes that this dragon does not bear evil intent against us! That it will not attack unless we give it a reason!" James snorted derisively, but otherwise did not budge.
"No offense, but what the hell does Erica know about dragons? Or about judging the intent of a potential enemy?" AEanna suddenly stepped right in front of him and he quickly lowered his rifle with a wordless exclamation of enraged protest. She cut him off with a single long finger raised to demand silence.
"I do not know dragons either, beyond what I have heard in stories, but I trust Erica." She snapped, before turning and regarding the dragon with an uneasy gaze. "Let us see what it does first."

Daniel bared his teeth, dagger length and sharp. He slowly shifted his weight and lifted his right foreclaw and sidled his left hindleg across the shore, edging away, eyes alert for any sign of aggression.
Neither James nor AEanna moved an inch. James still stood with legs slightly apart, braced in a firing stance. His rifle's barrel was lowered to the sand, but still aiming in the dragon's direction. His glare never left the creature as it moved slowly away, his expression leaving no doubt that any sudden move would result in an even more sudden response from him. AEanna too watched the dragon, though she stood with her hands together in front of her body, a passive, peaceful stance that didn't betray the tension in her face. She too watched the dragon intently, trepidation but also steadfastness the dominant emotions in her expression.
Daniel allowed his lips to fall over his teeth once more though the instruments could never truly be completely hidden. His tail fell to just about a foot off the ground and his muscles loosened. If they wanted to fight they would have shot him by now. His dragon's eye could see each chest as it pulsed with a heart. He could hear the thump of the pair. With dismay he realised his heart was beating faster than both of them. He began to turn around, at a comfortable pace and not in the slow and deliberate manner he had been moving earlier.
"That dragon from back in the rainforest is the situation." James replied, motioning in its direction with his rifle barrel. Even though the dragon was turning away, he wasn't about to back down yet. It was admittedly unlikely, but not impossible that the creature wanted to lull them into a false sense of security before attacking.
AEanna realised that she had been holding her breath and released it as the dragon turned away.

Brownie points for you there. I guess you can refrain from murdering everything on sight. Daniel snorted again, now with his back to the group and began walking away. Four limbs that carried him purposefully forward at a steady pace. He would move around the shore, he decided. Double back and then return from another direction so he didn't raise suspicion. He flapped his wings idily and slowly, drying them off.
OoC: I'm le back.
The belt ornament turned out well.
@Ven: Heya. Welcome back. How was your vacation?
Erica woke up, with quite the head ache at that. She got into a sitting position and rubbed her head.
[sub]"Ohhh... This is almost worse then those times I drank too much..."[/sub]
She groggily climbed out of bed, got dressed, picked up Tophat and left the ship.

As the dragon wandered off, James lowered his rifle and set the safety catch, slinging it on his back as he shot one last glance at the beast before turning away.
"It seems that Erica was right." AEanna said in awe as the dragon left them.
"Maybe. I wouldn't get too excited yet." James cautioned. "We still don't know what it wants, even if it isn't just going to slaughter us for the hell of it."

James nodded, then glanced at Dio with amusement.
"Hey Ronnie James, you seem to be losing a few inches there."

OoC: @Nailik Thanks. BTW, if I join up with the bad guys, I've made my pick as to who I'm gonna play.
Erica left the ship, standing idly on the gangway,shielding her eyes against the sun with her hand.
Once her eyes had ajusted to the light outside, Erica continued. She saw AEanna, James and Dio near the edge of the lake and walked over to them.
OoC @Gear: So, who will it be? Or is that a suprise?

Daniel snorted and veered left, dissappearing from view into some foilage. Obviously you havn't seen a dragon in flight.
OOC: @Nail It was great, just ate out and got drunk all the time.
