"Oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce you guys. Aaron this is Night." She said pointing at the shadowy figure that had wrapped itself around Nykidia waist and had it's hand on her shoulders.

I won’t)

(Seems fine then. Jump in when and where ever you feel like!)
Aaron gripped his weapon tighter, shifting his eyes between Night and the girl, almost not seeing Night's shadowy form in the dark. They weren't acting threatening offering introductins and so far showing no weapon, but he didn't trust it. The one time I try to be nice. He thought, I was going to lay low and help someone find directions. Instead this happens. It was another thing to make him bitter and reluctant to meet others when he didn't need to. He took a step back, cautious and suspicious of everything as his posture shifted to show his guard was up. "I still don't know your name, or his." He looked to the man by him, who had made no comment so far, before looking back at Nykidia, "He better not be with you." He did his best to not seem snappish, deciding if they really were going to try and take him to Ben he should try not making them hate him completely. "If Ben promised you something I bet I could offer something better." He reasoned, not knowing if words would be the only way to deal with this.

Nykidia looked at the man that Aaron was talking with. "I don't know who you are. I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation though." She said. Nykidia turned back to Aaron. "Ben has nothing to give me. I was bored and to keep me from doing something 'unpredictable' in his words he sent me out."

Lovino walks down the side walk his mask on his face making him hot ‘don’t take it off stupid’ he thinks looking at a boy and girl talking another girl seams to be apologizing to the man. ‘What in the world’ he thinks taking the path to get closer to them.

Well, that escalated rather quickly. He was getting ready to respond to the other, when a sudden voice called, followed by running feet. Instinctively, the feathers along his tail flared upwards fully. His hand moved towards his side where a blade in its sheathe was attached. Well, at least he know knew the man's name; 'Aaron'.
Though, seemed he wasn't pleased that this girl knew it. The male shifted his weight, clearly uncomfortable. His eyes caught the shimmer of a blade. He resisted the powerful urge to shift to his full form right there and then. The male's skin seemingly rippled, becoming scales for a moment, then disappearing. A growl came from him, hand now grabbing the hilt of his weapon.
He felt threatened, in danger. If push came to shove, he would defend himself and get back to that hill. Least there he knew it was safer than a highly populated place. The draconic male's instincts screamed for him to attack first, then get away, but he somehow kept the instincts at bay.
As Aaron turned to look at him, he growled in a rough voice, "Perhaps it wasn't clear, I don't know a damn thing happening here. I just want to get back to my mountain…Besides, my loyalty lies with the Dragon Kingdom, not to anyone else."
His body had become even more tense as he stood in place. The male's lips curled back, showing sharp fangs, a low hiss emitting from him, "I have an easier time working with a cockatrice than this. As for my name, Eberaus Greyfeather."

"Well Eberaus Greyfeather. I am sorry to of interrupted your conversation. I may need to borrow Aaron from you. I don't know where your mountain is. And you loyalties can lie where ever they want. They can even lay on the ground right here." Nykidia said pointing to the ground.

Lovino looks at them hearing what they said as he walked past. ‘What the heck’ he thinks walking towards the tree and climbing up it to a branch that covers him. ‘Now time to each and intervene if I got to’

(That actually sounds like a reason Ben would send someone off. Also a bunch of posts suddenly happened while I was away, lol)
Aaron flinched hearing Eberaus hiss, and hesitated before letting his weapon disappear as he failed to hear any hostility in the girl's voice. Still that's all he would do, sending a distrusting look towards them. He had let his temper and instincts get the better of him and now it looked like he might have enemies rather than friends, but even then a part of him thought it better safe than sorry. Though he wasn't sure if it was the right choice he decided to apologize. "Sorry," His voice was uncertain, "Bad temper and bad habits, trouble trusting others, that sort of thing…" He looked at the green eyed girl and her shadow friend, making sure to keep his temper in check. "I'm– I can't go. Ben and I are on bad terms, uh, yeah that's the best way to put it." He ran a hand through his hair as he calmed down, "Uh, don't… Don't tackle or hug me or anything… ask at least? That's part of the reason I overreacted. Not many are friendly towards me." He didn't know what else to say as his words trailed off, but he kept still despite everything telling him to either fight or run off.

"I still need to bring you back or something." Nykidia said. "Ben will get angry if I come back empty handed."

Eberaus' growl seemed to grow as the girl spoke. His tail started to lash in a furious manner, eyes glowing bright. Now, being a dragon, where he was from, his kind were extremely proud. As for that dragon nature, it felt it was being mocked. Eberaus easily towered over the girl. His hand remained on the hilt of his blade, continuing to growl.
"I'd advise being careful how you talk to certain creatures and individuals. Some do not take lightly to being mocked."
His yellow eyes shifted back to Aaron. At the moment, this pair were not allies. Then add suddenly feeling threatened, did not help him. Eberaus was already on high alert as it was, being in a new place.
The drake muttered something under his breath in another tongue. It was quite clear that any sudden or wrong move, and the drake would be quick to act. Every action led to a reaction, once could only hope for a peaceful reaction from him…

"I'm not mocking you, Dragon. Don't make me mad. Or do. I'm getting bored anyway." Nykidia said. "And please do not look at me as a threat. I'm just a messenger…and maybe a delivery boy."

Aaron looked to the ground knowing when to pick his fights, one with a dragon when it could be avoided was not one he'd start, and as he thought over it he realized the girl that seemed either naive or unconcerned was probably right. Few times they had met face to face Ben seemed stubborn when he was set on something and it was hard to change his mind. He huffed in annoyance when he couldn't think of anything to avoid it. "Fine. I'll come. Only if you promise there wasn't anyone else with him. I can handle Ben, anyone else I can guarantee someone's going to get hurt." He looked to Eberaus not knowing what to do, he was going to help him find directions but now all this was happening. The dragon was clearly not the happiest he could be right now. "What are you going to do?" He asked. Hopefully he wouldn't get a growl or swipe of the claws in response with his current mood.

"I believe it's only Ben and plus I'll be in the room and on your side if there's any issues." Nykidia said patting him on the shoulder reassuringly.

Aaron tensed feeling the hand touch his shoulder, feeling uncomfortable as his shoulder was pat. I thought I said no hugs or anything. Awkward shoulder pat goes under anything. Though he quickly discarded the thought as he considered the fact she didn't care about the man standing by them with his tail lashing angrily. He kept himself from stepping back or shoving her hand away, not wanting mentioned man to take it as hostility. Really wishing I didn't overreact right now. He thought, nodding to let Nykidia know he'd heard her.

(Are all of the characters in a park? Because I think someone mentioned it earlier)
Melody looked around after letting Lilith run off to the playground. Mel looked around trying to find someone she can pickpocket.

Lovino has fell asleep in the tree. None takes notice that’s grate! When he does wake up there has been a bird there the entire time.

Yep he fell asleep and now has a bunch of birds on him)

(Why does this make me laugh.)

Because he is a god of lighting and birds are flocking toward him?)

(What? I wasn't asking a question? Maybe it was my wording… I was saying it made me laugh knowing a god is just sleeping in a tree with birds on him. Or is this sarcasm? If so oof.)
