[At first, there is only audio...]
Hm... I think... like this and—
[The video feed turns on, revealing Aerith in all of her glory, wonderment gaze and more. She looks... bright. Cheery, all things considered.]
There we go!
[Lifting a hand, she wiggles her fingers in greeting.]
Hi there. My name is Aerith and I'd like some opinions onnnnn...
[She turns her camera to show off... her familiar, a Cerulean Drake.]
What I should name them. I'm still getting acquainted with things here, but this seems like a good place to start and a good way to get familiar with some of the other faces here.
I'm not very particular, but maybe something to do with the colour?
[She thumbs at her chin curiously as she looks over to it. No, she still doesn't have any ideas and up until now, she's just been calling it her 'friend.']

like a jade dragon.... its wings look like autumn leaves floating on a stream. needs a beautiful name to suit it. it's some kind of dragon right??
izumi is a pretty name for a girl in my world 泉 it means a spring, like a fountain. cuz the color is like clear water, but a fountain has action, its not still water, its dynamic but steady, water with tempered force behind it. a dragon deserves a powerful name.
no subject
She even takes a moment to read it all to the drake in question, just to gauge response. The drake appears to preen. Majestic? You bet it is!]
Izumi. That's a beautiful name. I think if you keep this up, though, my drake's going to become unbearably overconfident.
[But that's not really the worst thing that could ever happen, is it?]
no subject
[ he really likes dragons ok ]
we dont have drakes where im from but we had dragons they look kind of similar
i have a dragon familiar here
no subject
What did you name yours? It sounds like it might be a bit similar to mine. Maybe they should meet and they'd get along.
[Play date? Play date! Maybe something like that will help her form a bond with hers.]
no subject
Zun is small but he can get big, i saw him do it once.... he gets along very well with my sister's dragon. he should have other dragon friends, i agree.
no subject
[Seems fitting of a dragon.]
You'll have to let me introduce them then! I should have a final name by then. I want to let the drake pick one, but I secretly hope it picks Izumi. I really like that one and its meaning.
no subject
i like the name izumi
if zun is my familiar then i figure that means he's like family now, i want him to have a name to fit in with my family tradition
zunyan, zuko, azula, ozai, azulon, sozin.....
i guess izumi could fit too now that i think of it
but zun doesnt seem to mind his name. he'd probably come to anything though.. he kinda does whatever he wants.
no subject
[Zuko is the first person to really say anything about familiars the way she might be inclined to do so. She hasn't called her drake family yet, but it's been a thought in the back of her mind.]
I'm not sure how many would consider their familiars family, but I think that's an important relationship to establish. We were given these familiars for a reason, after all.
no subject
dragons are very important to my family and my people
its very symbolically significant that i should have my own now
that my sister and i both have our own dragons together now actually....!! its really really incredible
feels like a miracle, i never even thought id ever meet one face-to-face back home before it actually happened, let alone live with one of my own now here
that honestly feels like the most "magical" part of this place for me
my sister and i having our dragons
so the dragons need to be treated with utmost esteem. they chose us after all not the other way around..
[ These are the infamous last words of a boy who's about spend all his spare money at the pet store on thoughtful gifts for his dragon while his dragon ignores them and goes ham over a paperclip it found under the couch. ]
no subject
Aerith is... not a stranger to fate, even if she might not outright know that's what it is she comes up against from time to time. It's a heavily-weighted word, but it's also hard to argue against it.]
That's true. The familiars we have are familiars who chose us.
[Which means she was chosen by her drake, too. She wonders why something of such would have chosen someone like her. Perhaps it's capable of determining who and what she is.]
It sounds like you know a lot about dragons. I've never actually seen one, but I think I've read about them in books. Is your sister here with you, too?
no subject
yes she is. we live together.
our dragons seem to like each other.
look
the red one is zun
[ He's bad at taking photos and it's a little blurry with poor frame composition, truly a Kodak moment wasted on this artless and technologically illiterate boy, but he sends a photo, nevertheless, of a pair of small dragons, just a tad bigger than a pair of ferrets or so, curled up together like snakes in one comfortable coil, seemingly asleep, basking on a rug in the sunshine. ]
no subject
There's something quite cute about the size. She's pretty sure she prefers them this way.
A smile curls back into her features at the picture as she looks it over.]
These are cute! I'm sure as dignified as they are, they might not appreciate me saying that, but they do look a little like my drake. [Just a little. Related in some way, perhaps, but certainly with their differences.] I'm glad that Zun has a friend, too. And that you do.
[Because some people simply are better off not being alone in a foreign world.]
1/2
2/2
you meant my sister
oh.
[ Well, that's. certainly a response. ]
no subject
I did mean your sister. Everyone needs someone, even if they don't want to admit it. It seems a little special to have family here with you.
no subject
i have three other friends from home here, too.
i'm relieved.
no subject
It's always possible that he will be here in time. Since it sounds like there's plenty from your home world, I don't see why you couldn't have more.
Sometimes, it just takes a little faith.
no subject
our destinies are linked
he'll probably show up eventually
i bet he will have a dragon familiar too. uncle would love that. we'd have a family of dragons! i'm sure uncle will name his something profound within the family tradition too, and zunyan and.. ....my sister's dragon.
[ He refuses to call it by name. He is so annoyed by its name. "You-know-who" has been its nickname lately, much to his sister's amusement, getting exactly what she wants from their dragon family funtimes. Even if he shows up, Uncle Iroh can't change that. ]
no subject
A family of dragons. You'd probably all become known for that, actually. If your uncle ever does show up, I hope you'll introduce me to him. Your family sounds interesting. And enlightening.
[Dignity. Honour. Integrity. Meaning. Zuko and his sister already sound intriguing.]
1/2
well uncle is interesting and enlightening...... the rest of us are just
interesting.
2/2
he would be fascinated
he used to be known as the dragon of the west when he was a great general in our military
he was said to have conquered the last dragons in our world
but really he lied to keep them secret and save them from being hunted
i only learned this because i met them myself.
[ He's always eager to talk about Iroh and dragons, though. ]
no subject
It only solidifies the smile in her mouth.]
It would have been a shame if the dragons had been hunted. I'm glad he was saving them instead. Until he arrives, I'll just have to bother the rest of you.
[And knowing Aerith, 'bother' just means be incredibly kind to. Kill with kindness?]
no subject
all the dragons were hunted...
only two are left
but uncle protected their existence by lying and saying he killed them
only uncle and myself and one other person from the outside world have seen the dragons
it was awe inspiring though
words cannot describe
thats why its so incredible to me to have these dragons here
what an unbelievable blessing
no subject
I'm really happy that you and your sister can have dragons here. I don't think they could have gone to anyone more suiting. You respect them so much and they're obviously very important to you.
[After a smile she continues.]
I hope I'll get to see them soon, too.
no subject
i'd like to meet your drake too
zun and i are free most of the time.... well, i am. but so is he.
[ Somehow even without mentioning it, it's clear his familiar poked its head up from its nap to peer at its master upon sensing this sentiment — excuse you, Zuko, Zunyan has a full life, thanks. Just because the dragon can't speak doesn't mean he can be spoken for! But Zuko will anyway. ]
my sister's dragon isn't very friendly
and.... neither is my sister
but maybe if zun makes a friend first the other dragon will want to be friendlier too
[ He's not holding his breath on its master. ]
