[Tsuna is out helping on the farm. It's exhausting work but rewarding and once again a reminder for Tsuna that he is getting stronger. Not so long ago, he would be struggling to even lift a hay bale, never mind even just a little bit before that, he'd been looking for a way to get out of the whole activity.

He's probably gone a little further afield than he should have in gathering the hay, and he's got a pretty big armload. Figuring he should head back, he turns and there's the sound of a soft crunch.

Tsuna looks down with alarm, as he's put his foot through what looks like a nest. He removes his foot gingerly, and it's followed by about a dozen angry balls of light. Tsuna panics, the hay being tossed in the air as the fairies fly straight at him.

When he wakes up, he is not where he was before. He's up high, somewhere...and this is where the recording abruptly turns on. There's sky at first before it lowers on to Tsuna's face and the distinct sense that he is probably up high somewhere.]

Hiiieee! Uh....can someone help me! I don't know where I am.

[ The dragon looks downright fearsome. Its lips are slightly bared, exposing a mouth full of sharp teeth, as its whiskers flick wildly and its golden gaze all but pierces through Tsuna's. This is an intense creature, a majesty and silent wisdom about it, terrifying to behold even if it intends to help, like a fairytale come to life, demanding due reverence. Zuko's mounted on it like nothing's so out of the ordinary, does not seem to grasp that Tsuna is shocked or on edge. ]

Yeah... He's big.

[ He reaches out an arm at first, seeing if he can reach well enough to help catch Tsuna if he were to try to jump off onto the dragon's back. But something doesn't seem kosher about that idea. So instead of risking Tsuna's life to rescue him, Zuko grabs tight fistfuls of fur on the dragon's mane and leans in closely pressed against its neck; the dragon ups the intensity even more, and tries to find a firm enough form to climb onto the side of the silo. It's not really... built for dragons to climb... And as its claws grasp at the roof beside Tsuna, it somewhat clumsily leaves claw marks in the metal, though not enough to puncture the silo, until it can clasp enough to keep ahold. While it may not be as huge as the dragons are in Zuko's home, it's still not exactly comforting to have giant fangs and claws beside oneself, surely. ]

[There is a long moment where Tsuna is trying to remind himself that the dragon is a familiar, and Zuko's familiar at that, and that there's nothing to be worried about as a result. Hopefully whoever's barn this is won't mind the claw marks.

Eventually, he stands back up and cautiously comes over.]

Where's the best place...to climb on?

Just climb on behind me. Hurry.

[ Zun's paw slips slightly, snatching upwards again against the flat side of the silo. It's got plenty of room between its neck and wings, and halfway folds them so that Tsuna can more comfortably take this leap of faith, perhaps. The dragon is far more in tune with others' emotions than Zuko, thankfully, who's scowling slightly with every second that passes, eager to rescue his new friend. He's into that. Rescuing friends. It's a new-ish interest of his, and he's impatient to fulfill his call to help. The dragon's just whipping its whiskers back and forth in waiting, a golden eye glancing to Tsuna from the side, anticipating his mount. There's nothing comfortable about this, Zuko; don't tell the poor kid to hurry... ]

[Not entirely sure why he has to hurry, Tsuna still does. He's not going to question it. It takes a bit of willing himself forward but he gets himself to move and head over, reaching out a hand to climb aboard.]

Th-thanks for coming to get me, Zuko-san!

[ Zuko reaches his hand out to help him on if he needs it. As soon as Tsuna's even slightly adjusted, though, Zun releases his talons and all but falls backwards into the air before his great wings begin flapping again to keep them afloat. That's why to hurry. Zunyan may be powerful, but silos aren't built for dragons. The release surely gut-dropping, even a bit for Zuko, who clings closer to the dragon, gripping its fur in his hands tightly as it finds its "footing" in the air again. ]

Hang on.

[ Like Tsuna needs to be told twice, surely... ]

[Tsuna definitely does, clinging on to both the dragon and Zuko for dear life as the dragon lifts away. Mostly he's trying to focus on staying still and not cause too many problems in the process.

He cannot wait until they are on the ground again.]

Do you want us to take you home? Or just down?

[ Zuko raises his voice, craning his neck back to look at Tsuna as best he could. He wasn't expecting him to hold him; he doesn't stop him, and is happy to let him hang on if it helps him, but Zuko does flinch as the boy makes contact. Zunyan circles the silo to get comfortable in flight again, waiting for direction. ]

Down's fine. I wasn't really done working at the farm anyway.

[If they're still at the farm. Tsuna's starting to get the feeling he may have been moved a bit of a distance.]
