"Yeah well I'm Raven and if you come any closer I'm going to shoot you, human."

"What kind of person?" Guinevere asked, still keeping her hand positioned where it was. Now there was a baby animal involved, and there was no way she'd let this fool try and mess with it.

"Be nice." she chided the others. She smiled at him, "You're safe with me."

Seeing all of the weapons, the draconic beast shifted uneasily. Despite the curious coos from its offspring, the large creature didn't feel it was safe to let the little one down, despite it starting to squirm.

"Why are you so trusting?" Guinevere asked, exasperated. "I'm getting paid to keep you alive, and cordially greeting every Tom, Dick, and Harry that pops up out of a bush jeopardizes my paycheck!"

"Human?" He'd click his tongue, stepping into view. It was almost like he came from space which he did, but he's not gonna say that just yet, wearing some light armour in similar design to camo, and his helmet that covered his head and facial features from view.
"I have yet to find out who I am. And," he turned to the original person, Aiday. "Maybe a bit of alien too."

She tilted her head, "I have a friend who would be interested to meet you."
She looked at Guinevere eyebrows arched. "I'm not. Maybe I just know things you don't.

Guinevere placed her hands on her hips. "Well, APPARENTLY, none of y'all decided to let me in on this! I operate on having the most information I can when taking on a job, and now I've got two little girls, whoever those idiots upstairs are, Rocket Man over here, and… whatever you are," she turned to the large creature.

"No offense."

Aiday smiled. "You're funny."

Turning to Guinevere, he spoke. "Oh, you also operate on information when taking a job? As a Bounty Hunter, I can understand that." He turned back. "What friend do you..speak of?"

Raven took a breath. "With all due respect," she began, trying to remain calm, "I wouldn't be here if I were a little girl." She was furious with everyone at the moment. She agreed with Guinevere–Aiday was too trusting, but now was not the time.

The beast blinked a bit, knowing the female had meant it. It remained sitting back on its haunches with its offspring. Blue eyes glowed softly, looking down to those around it. It still felt uneasy with all the weapons and potential dangers around. It may seem no one meant harm, but it knew that could all change swiftly. It would prefer avoiding conflict, less it or its young were threatened.
The little one in its arms settled its head on its parent's shoulder. The small thing gave an defeated sigh, blue mist seeming to rise from its small nostrils.

Aiday turned to the bounty hunter. "A friend. His name is Nmere."

"Why would this Nmere be interested in meeting with me?"

"He's smart. He likes to learn things."

"Learn things? What sorts of things?"

There came a soft crackle, and a figure emerged into view.
She was tall, dark-skinned, and lithe, with black-and-blonde hair in one long braid woven with gems and pieces of colored twine. Her hair was very long, coming down to the back of her knees, and she wore a pair of jeans and a blue velvet tunic with large, monk-like sleeves. Her boots came up to her knees and were highly polished. A jeweled sword was at her side.
"I do so hate to interrupt," she said, "but what's going on?"

Things had seemed to calm down. The once agitated voices seemed to quiet down for the time being. As such, the draconic beast set its offspring on the ground. Once being free, the small creature gave a happy noise, starting to shuffle around its parent, exploring.
The sudden appearance of new comer instantly put it on alert. The creature's tail suddenly slunk around, creating a makeshift 'pen'.
"Stranger," its deep voice sounded.
All blue eyes were focused on the one who had suddenly appeared. It was on full alert, which was to be expected with any parent, to keep their young protected.

Stardew holds up her hands. "I'm not a danger to you. I generally operate on a you-attack-first system, which, by the look of you, you do too. Don't mind me, I'm not going to use this." She gestures toward her sword, but doesn't touch it.

Aiday peered at her. "Why are you here?" she asked curiously.

Once again, at the sight of weapons, the beast started to shift uneasily. However, seeing the female have her hands palms facing forward, which was usually a gesture of peace, least from what it could remember.
The creature's little one clambered over its parent's tail, giving a surprised yelp as it tumbled off, falling in a rather comedic fashion. Hearing the sound, made the larger beast turn its head, giving a concerned rumble, but seeing the young was alright, the large beast seemed to give a sigh of relief.

[a short figure seemed to stumble out of nowhere, nearly careening into someone but righting himself quickly. once he recovered, the elven looking male stared around]

"who're you?"
