I am...Nigihayami Kohakunushi, but you may call me Kohaku or Haku. ( The voice belongs to a boy who looks like he is no older than twelve. His expression is impassive, the grey-green of his eyes as difficult to read as murky water.

Behind him, there is a dragon with a long skinny body, short legs and tufts of hair on his head, neck and tail. He gives a mighty yawn, showing pointed teeth. )

I am new to Camelot, though I believe I have heard of it. In my world it was thought to only be a legend, but that could be a consequence of distance and not the truth.

I hope to make friends and regain - ( He stops himself, looking around warily. If another witch is causing this, he doesn't want to take chances and speak out of turn. ) Never mind.

This is my familiar. ( Turning, at last, to the awaiting dragon, he lays a hand on the spirit's head. ) Should you see him, do not fear him.

That's a relief. ( The dragon huffs as if he knew that all along, however. ) If he and I are meant to be companions, I didn't want him hurt.

I never even considered the possibility of someone else being able to harm it.

So far, a non-issue, too.

I'm sure your dragon is going to be fine.

[kohaku_river]

He is the first that I have met -

who is like me.

[disasdeer]

Ah? A dragon?

You look pretty human.

[kohaku_river]

This is only my human form. I am a spirit that can shift between forms...usually.

[disasdeer]

That's pretty lucky. Can't do it here? I've seen people say their abilities are gone.

[kohaku_river]

That's...right. I've lost my ability to change. I'm stuck like this.
