coward would do. If it were to happen they would simply flee. After all.. The soverign only cared about them, right? It wouldn't be worth the collateral.

Their thoughts came to a pause while looking back at the planetary body.

They'll make use of this ' home ' for as long as they could.

It had to be, nothing had come of their temporary refuge and they hoped to keep it that way. Head turning to gaze as the sound distant star systems. They had slipped by for this long, it would happen one day.

But it had been eons.

They may grow complacent, but they were fine with that.

Such as a

Gaze half lidded, the soundless abyss of space was always comforting. Wings fully spread as the dragon steadily hovered outside of the planets grasp.

There was more time to think with suffocating silence. Flames sparked from their vents, truly was this the right choice to be here now?

2) As a humanoid its.. a little over two meters, or in the one imperial measurement it is six foot two.

My draconic visage varies greatly dependant on gravity. ( Currently the size of a humpback whale equivalent )

In space.. It would be best not to elaborate.

You know each star has a life. If course in its literal sense, but.. One if my kind may be part of its life.

... It gets lonely.

" Nudists...? "

They have a small confused blink to follow .

1) Most of my nicknames are not of general common tongue.. But most here on Earth call me Veri. Thats about it.

[ They aren't feeling too good..😔* ]

I regret asking.

[ Laying out on the rooftops once more, squinting .]

[ Its ever shifting form leaned forwards and bumped its 'nose' against the mechas metal finger. Causing a small spark of energy to jump between them ]

Sol seems to like you.

[ They said with a chuckle ]

It'll do most tricks you ask of it.

Most of the time, yes, they either reflect trauma or personality. I have seen some that are opposites to their counterpart.

[ Slooowly reaching out and grabbing a digit between its paws. Trying to pull his servo closer ]

at Hot Shot's golden crown like a curious cat trying to knock something off a table.]

We call them 'Sol Manifestations' Those capable of Pyrokenesis have default forms their abilities take. In a way yes, its what my Sol manifestation ended up being. The more training one gets the more connected to them. It awakens their capabilities.

It's a goofball by nature.

[ It paws lightly

Shibe

I want to oooo do an event...

[ It rolled around on his helm before splaying out on its back stretching]

Story telling is also part of entertainment, most of my kinds history is passed down by verbal stories and dancing. The citadel was where traditions were taught.

Are you used to hearing tragedy?

[ The draconic silhouette moved to circle the wreckers helm and perched there. The irony of their lies to obscure it was something else.. But they don't feel comfortable disclosing such information.. Not now. ]

Not any time soon.

Yes...

Home.

[ Staring up at the night sky, stars never shined in the city. ]

Shibe

Lying to Hot Shot hurts but Veritate is too much a coward smh

[ Opening their wings with a big ol stretch of em. ]

There wasn't much else.. Those with pyrokenetic capacity were held to high standards. You were either slated for the Citadel or sent out to be.. Representatives.

[ Careful with their wording. An inquisitor would not look good to anyone! ]

Y-es.

[ A pause mid word perhaps it eas sheepishness. ]

I'd entertain the Soverign and his court.

[ With something more. Two toned hues staring at the draconic figure on the mechs shoulders. An entertainer.. It eas a half truth.]

I'd like to think I am one.. Im not sent out often.. [😔*]

Performer is one way to put it.

[ using their stocky tail to push themselves up and into a standing position. Radiation leaked from their wrist vents, swirling around Hot Shot neeting at the his shoulder plating into a dragon esque shape perched on him like a cat ]

Out of practice for sure.

Of course the sentiment is always appreciated-. It is mutual if you need particular help I'm willing to aid-

[ Wincing they couldnt help but chuckle. ]

Back home I would perform for the higher nobility.

... admittedly I am not used to dancing with two legs..

Nothing comes to mind that could possibly constitute an emergency on my end from Earth.

[ Perhaps it was naive to think nothing else would happen to Earth. They were trying to copy him! To limited success, why is dancing on two legs harder than four? ]

W-

[ Too far of a step an accidental split ]

of fluidity nobles brought before their selected crowds. The tradition of an overture to watch and be enchanted by. Slowly starting to mimic the larger entities foot movements. Clearly out of practice from time away- ]

Surprising I was able to navigate myself here on first try. So I may visit without bothering your time.

[ The best way to describe what they felt coming from this planets being, a signal. It was different than celestial bodies they know typically. Watching his movements, it reminded them
