dragonessofthemoon has entered the grounds.

[dragonessofthemoon]

A quiet place.  So either the spirit wasn’t nearby here, it was slumbering, or it wasn’t a very violent draconic.  She sighed in a little bit of relief.  That was good.

"Must be peaceful.  I would love to stay in a place like this.  You’ve got quite the opportunity here Mr……?"

[chromatic-hearts]

►Peaceful? Hell it stressed him out more than anything. He couldn’t stand the quiet, nothing like having your thoughts tug at you all day. She seemed more interested in being in places like this than him. Good for her, he just wanted to go home but he couldn’t leave Cain.

“Larz.” He left it at that, “No need to be formal with me though,” Nothing irks me more than having Mister in front of my name. Was the rest of that thought.”You are?”◄

[dragonessofthemoon]

"Diana Blackthorn."

She bowed, "Pleasure to make your acquaintance Larz."

The draconics hissed, writhing more in agitation.

"Somethhhhhhhhing is near."

"The flameheaded one distractsssss ussssss."

She stiffened slightly at hearing this, standing back up and smiling sweetly at the man.

"Do you think you could guide me around the grounds? Or do you know if the lord of the manor would dislike if I explored?"

dragonessofthemoon has entered the grounds.

[dragonessofthemoon]

"Actually yes!" Diana grinned. "But at the same time, not quite."

The dragons were letting loose puffs of smoke, in what might be considered trying to best the redhead’s cigarette.  She giggled, partly laughing at her dragons’ antics.  The smoke from his cigarette reminded her a mixture of home and her grand parent’s pipes, as well as the dragons that were currently seething behind her.  It was actually a little comforting.  She watched the smoke from it rise and float up til it dissipated, fading into the color of the sky. 

"What about you?  Anything in particular you do around here?  Seems like an interesting place to live," she said, looking out at the grounds.

[chromatic-hearts]

►Of course, questions about him would come up eventually. Larz let out a small sigh, causing more smoke to be blow out. He’d need another pack at this rate. “I don’t really do anything.” A half lie, he just didn’t go out looking for a job that required his skill. Mercs for hire didn’t get jobs often and hardly got a good pay for it.

“It’s interesting, if you like the quiet side of life.” It was an alright place, but like he said if you wanted a quiet lifestyle it was great. He was more inclined to noisy places, or underground places where all you heard were the ambient sounds.◄

[dragonessofthemoon]

Smaug let out a loud roar, his fellow draconics hissing furiously behind him.  Diana’s eyes shot open, bolting up to sit up straight as her gaze flew about the room.

As her guardians began to swell in size around her, the dragon wielder’s wary gaze fell upon the half shifted form upon her room’s windowsill.  She stared at the demon analytically for a moment before sighing, her head falling in her arms as she ran a tired hand through her hair.

"Guys, shut the fuck up."

The spirits turned to face her, aggression oozing out of their forms as they continued to swell and crowd the room.

"INVADER! THIEF!"

"DEMON! FILTH! KILL IT KILL IT!"

"HE THREATENED ONE OF THE LINE OF DARK THORNS! HE SHALL BURN!"

Smaug snapped the air in front of the window, still glaring daggers at the dream eating demon.

"I SHALL SHOW HIM WHAT IT MEANS TO FIGHT A FIRE DRAKE!"

Diana looked up from her hands, her gaze firm on the draconic and eyes flashing like a burning flame.

"……What did you say?"

Silence filled the room as the dragons jolted, cowering away to the corners of the room as they changed back to their small, wispy forms.  Smaug whined as she stood up, cowering away from her as she approached him.  Diana reached up and placed a hand on his snout, yanking his head around to stare her in her fiery eyes.

"I told you," she pulled his muzzle closer to her as she hissed in his face, "to shut the FUCK up."  She let go of him and he immediately shrunk down to his ethereal form, darting off to hide under the covers of the bed.  The girl turned her attention to the demon at the window again.

"So….what are you doing here?" she asked, folding her arms.  "Oh wait, you’re a dream eater.  And honestly, you look like you’re starving.  So I’m going to put two and two together and say you took notice of my dream I was having."

[chromatic-hearts]

♦He would be lying if he didn’t find it amusing that these big baddies were scared of a girl. The demon snickered at the window, still looking in from hanging upside down. Rin shifted back to his usual teen form.

"Aren’t you clever?" His tone was unamused and still echoed a bit. His meal now ruined, the demon was less than pleased. Those damned spirits wasted a meal, typical.

Rin stuffed his hands back into his panda paws and stared at her. "Obviously that was the reason, but you’re wretched spirits ruined and wasted a meal." Dream eaters always had problems with meals being interrupted or ruined. Reasons most eaters went to eat after dark, mostly children’s dreams too but Rin wasn’t in a place to enjoy things in such a way.

He refused to lower his tone, but simply continued to stare at her.♦

[dragonessofthemoon]

She sighed, running a hand through her hair tiredly as the fire in her eyes cooled down to their normal shades.

"I formally apologize for their rudeness.  They tend to be........ very protective of me, especially when I'm on an assignment.  Silly territorial creatures...."

She glanced around the room at the cowering spirits before smiling weakly at the demon.

"Especially the newest one.  He's the most recently awakened, still has a bit of that pent-up rage going on.  Working out the kinks in that.  Making sure he knows how to behave."

She had a small amount of experience with his kind, being from the very-supernaturally-aware family she was.  His species was one of the few demonic beings that were somewhat harmless in their normal behavior.

"When was the last time you ate?"

The fire drake spirit growled rather loudly this time, sniffing the air as he crept towards the window.

"You, a lowly scavengerrrr of dreams DARE to come and try to gorrrrrrrrge your belly on my handler?  DARE to challenge ME?"

The other dragons swirled angrily through the air behind Smaug’s slowly growing form.   

" I am FIRE, I am DEATH. 

Diana stirred.  ”Smaaaaaaaug, shut upppppp drama queen,” she groaned in her sleep.  ”Why don’t you join the play? You can join the playtime too, overgrown fire lizard,” she mumbled, still in her dream-state.

[chromatic-hearts]

♦  I am FIRE, I am DEATH. 

The demon let out a echoed laugh, no this dragon was just loud and annoying. Geez this was becoming a hassle for this meal, and Rin really didn’t wanna fully shift forms because that would mean he’d sleep more later.

But oh her dream must have been so nice, Rin clawed at the window again. Using both his hands this time, hoping the scraping sounds would stir her. Though not admitting it Rin was glad they didn’t act without her word or so he hoped.

If he knew how to get her dreams without getting near the fatass.

   ”You are loud and atrocious. I’ve seen more terrifying things in human dreams than your scaly hide.”

While dragon spirits are scary, these humans had some twisted ideas at times. Of course there were always things worse that twisted ideas and dreams, but Rin avoided those beings so it wasn’t much of an issue for him.

   ”If you knew anything you know we dream eaters don’t harm the being who is dreaming.  Though of course you wouldn’t, you only wish to watch a city burn and murder so many beings.”

Rin’s voice echoed a bit, and he was getting restless. Wanting to eat but was growing impatient with this scaly annoyance. He simply continued to claw at the window, with more aggression than before in an attempt to anger that dragon more.♦

[dragonessofthemoon]

The draconic spirits stirred, attention being drawn to the demonic presence that had appeared at the window of their master’s room.  They hissed in warning, their ethereal forms growing in size.  Smaug was the first one to actually speak.  

"Who darrrrrrrrrrres to approach ussssssss?" he hissed, sniffing the air.

Dead to the goings on around her, Diana continued to dream.

[chromatic-hearts]

♦Oh just his luck, damn draconic spirits. He’s heard of them, bastard spirits who wreck havoc when grumpy. Made his life hard, and there were rarely any in Scotland. Scaling the wall to hang above the window.

The demon growled, simply wanting a good meal but slowly losing his appetite because of these overgrown lizards. If only Larz would let him have his nightmares, he wouldn’t be dealing with this. The scent of her dream was intoxicating though, between him and a fine dinner.

Him.

"Come out and play you scaly fatass~"

Rin reached an arm down to claw at the window, if anything maybe waking the woman would be ideal. Though doubtful, because then a lost meal.♦

dragonessofthemoon has entered the grounds.

[dragonessofthemoon]

She giggled.  A charmer and a flirt.  A nice one at that.

"Ah Germany!  I’ve been there a few times.  Actually went through on my way over here.  Quite an interesting place.  Rich with history."

Germany had actually been one of her previous “conquests”.  The spirit of a fire drake, brought into creation by a now very popular book, had awoken after its seventy year slumber and had been causing havoc on a small lakeside town.  She and her mother had flown over to Germany and soothed the beast’s spirit, bringing it back under control and binding it to their bloodline.  Once bound, it relinquished his name to them: Smaug.  He was actually one of the guardians she had with her now.

"Quite the charrrrrmerrrrr isn’t heeeee," the drake growled in her ear.  ”I could fixxxxxxxxx thhhhhat.  I ammmmmm a little homessssssick for a dishhhhh from home.”

The others chimed in.

"He’sssss too arrogant, too dissssssssresssssspectful!"

"Dangeroussssssss!"

"Come on, jusssst a bite!"

“Scaleys, ice your breath and fold your wings for a moment please.  You know the rules.”

Diana smiled cheerfully at him.  Her dragons were such worry warts.  They were also probably just a bit restless and bored.  ”Yes, you might,” she smiled up at him.  ”I come from Japan.  My family is a rather well off family and tends to encourage the youth of our clan to travel.  As such, I’m here studying up on the culture and history of Scotland.”

[chromatic-hearts]

►What did this girl do for a living? Probably something a bit more tame than his old job. What kind of family did she have that just lets the kids travel all over. Well off. Ah well that some what explains it, she had a rich background. Just his luck, finding a rich dame yet she didn’t flaunt it. He would just tread lightly, the high end society folks made him uneasy. Though that was out of shit he went through to give him and Capri a live, a small life but the other never complained even when they couldn’t eat.

He shook his head, pushing memories back of his old love, turning his attention back to her. This interesting gal from Japan, she had an air of calmness around her. Which he found charming.

Ah he was out of a smoke, he shifted to light another, snuffing the old one out in an ashtray he stored out by the gates. He always stood here, debating every day to go home, go back to Capri. But he couldn’t, not yet, wasn’t strong enough. Setting the tray back onto the small wooden platform on the side, though Larz was surprised Cain let him build that out here. Though the blonde was probably glad he wasn’t smoking in the house as often now.

Blowing smoke up to the sky, he listened to her talk about studying Germany and now Scotland. "So you’re like a wandering student?” Oh man Cain would talk her ear off if he found out, no. She was Larz’s find and he wouldn’t let that man talk to her til Larz was bored or Cain found her and he was sleeping.◄

[dragonessofthemoon]

"Actually yes!" Diana grinned. "But at the same time, not quite."

The dragons were letting loose puffs of smoke, in what might be considered trying to best the redhead's cigarette.  She giggled, partly laughing at her dragons' antics.  The smoke from his cigarette reminded her a mixture of home and her grand parent's pipes, as well as the dragons that were currently seething behind her.  It was actually a little comforting.  She watched the smoke from it rise and float up til it dissipated, fading into the color of the sky.

Diana rolled over in her inn room’s bed, making a contented grumble as she dreamed sweet dreams of a world where her job was quite easier.  A world where the spirits lived along side humanity without causing the havoc she had to control day to day.  A world where her family’s job wasn’t needed, and that everyone could see the dragons without running in fear.  In her dream, she was currently running through a field playing around with a young river dragon spirit.

In reality, the dragons guarding her were in their smaller wispy forms, some floating around and intertwining with each other while others slept curled on the bed.

[chromatic-hearts]

♦His body shook, someone was having a wonderful dream and the boy was hungry. Following the scent, he stopped outside of the inn with a grin on his face. Slipping into the alley on the left, Rin dragged his hand along the wall. Oh did this smell so delicious, probably some rich folk. They have the tastiest ones, next to those that had hardships.

Unless it was a nightmare, most of his favorites started out sweet but ended dark and horrible. It was a three course meal to him, something like that kept him full for days. Rin stopped at the side with the window that the scent came from, smirking as he shifted his upper half into his full form. Climbing up to the window, the boy peered into the room letting out a small growl.

'Damn, she's guarded'♦

[dragonessofthemoon]

The draconic spirits stirred, attention being drawn to the demonic presence that had appeared at the window of their master's room.  They hissed in warning, their ethereal forms growing in size.  Smaug was the first one to actually speak.  

"Who darrrrrrrrrrres to approach ussssssss?" he hissed, sniffing the air.

Dead to the goings on around her, Diana continued to dream.

[dragonessofthemoon]

The tall figure disappeared through the flurry of snow before Diana could pick out who or what they were.  Within a few seconds though, Ashe perked up straight and made a loud chortle, one she usually made when she was extremely interested.

"Ashe, what are you-"  A different, smaller dark shape emerged from the white snowstorm from the direction of the previous figure, the Froslass shooting forward to meet it.

"Wait!  Ashe, no, come back!"

Smaug roared out a call towards the Froslass as he and their trainer shuffled faster through the snow. 

[3000yearsofshame]

The froslass coming back to challenge it send Sigilyph into a tizzy. It charged forward before AZ could grab it, prompting him to do his best to run and snag it out of the air before a fight could break out. His only source of guidance in the flurry was the pokemon’s irritated chattering, and after a few minutes of blind wandering, his outstretched hands managed to wrap around the body of the irritated psychic type.

"Sigilyph, calm down," he scolded, fingers tightening when it threatened to escape. "The last thing we need in this weather is a fight…"

[dragonessofthemoon]

Lady Ashe tilted her head as it looked upon the giant of a man and his Sigilyph.  She flew around the two of them, chortling in curiosity.

Meanwhile Diana stumbled forward through the snowstorm, Smaug trying to block some of the snow from his trainer's body as it flew past.  "Ashe! Ashe, where are you?"   She wasn't worried about the Pokemon being lost in the storm because Ashe's home climate was basically this, however she was worried her Froslass was going to get into trouble with whatever form they had spotted through the snowfall.

Smaug called out in worry for his fellow teammate, his roar echoing a little through their surroundings.  Lady Ashe let out a loud echo-y chitter at hearing its teammate, but continued to stare at the large man with interest.

♦Rin clawed at the side of a building, some one was hungry. Yet none of the snacks he had filled him. He couldn’t go back to the manor, not when he knew Larz was asleep and the redhead made him promise no eating his dreams.

Stopping at the end of the alley, watching the people pass, Rin just lurked in the shadows. His pupils were slits as he watched the humans go about their lives. The scent of those day dreaming while they walked made his hunger grow.

"So hungry~"♦

[dragonessofthemoon]

Diana rolled over in her inn room's bed, making a contented grumble as she dreamed sweet dreams of a world where her job was quite easier.  A world where the spirits lived along side humanity without causing the havoc she had to control day to day.  A world where her family's job wasn't needed, and that everyone could see the dragons without running in fear.  In her dream, she was currently running through a field playing around with a young river dragon spirit.

[dragonessofthemoon]

She tilted her head, looking up towards the manor.  A man living by himself on this big of a property?  Seems like it would have been a lonely experience.  She couldn’t imagine living without her huge family back home, but then again it might not be as different as things are now considering how much her clan traveled the world.  At least he had some people with him now.

"No, I’m actually a tourist I guess you could say.  I was out observing the landscape and trying to learn some history behind this area when I came across this place.  I just couldn’t resist coming through the gates and looking around the grounds," she smiled softly, even as her dragons hissed softly around her.  She snickered inwardly, partly hoping they wouldn’t act up too bad.  

Even though she had dominion over them, she preferred to let them have a little free will in what they do, as long as it wasn’t going to harm anyone.  Oh how some would faint in fear if they could see her guardians.

"So you’re one of the residents here at the manor now, you said?  That means you aren’t originally from here either are you?"

[chromatic-hearts]

►Tourist huh? He should have guessed, she had that outside air ontop of her accent. Which he couldn’t place but pushed the thought aside. Looking back up at the manor, listening to her. Why would she observe a place like this? Ah well he was kind of glad she did. She was fun, something he liked and something people around him sometimes lacked.

The redhead scuffed his boot on the gravel, smirking. "Bingo, we have a winner~” Clever girl, Larz put his hands behind his head and leaned back. "I'm from Germany, not that anyone could really tell. Sort of forced my accent away." That was the first thing he broke after being forced to flee, not that he missed the place. Though that was a lie to himself and he knew it. That was a story for her later, if he managed to keep her around, most girls didn’t stick around because of his smoking habits.

"Where are you from? Might I ask.” It seemed only fair, to him anyways. She didn’t have to share, most didn’t. Something he was used to from the ladies.◄

[dragonessofthemoon]

She giggled.  A charmer and a flirt.  A nice one at that.

"Ah Germany!  I've been there a few times.  Actually went through on my way over here.  Quite an interesting place.  Rich with history."

[dragonessofthemoon]

Following her family’s tradition and orders, Diana was on assignment to capture the dragon spirits haunting the Scottish landscape.  While she was fully dedicated to her family’s work, part of that work was learning about the history of the land and finding enjoyment in it.

That is how she ended up coming across the beautiful manor before her.  Diana was admiring the gorgeous courtyard before her when she heard a deep voice cut through the sounds of nature around her.

She turned to see a tall, redheaded young man lumbering towards her.  He was handsome and intriguing to say the least, a black eye patch over his right eye and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.  She felt her draconic guardians rumble in warning through the air around her.  However, to those not sensitive to the spiritual realm would not be able to hear or feel anything.  This, she was thankful for, cause the dragons would probably spook off anyone that tried to get near her.  Damn territorial, overprotective, but lovable incorporeal beings.

"Oh, sorry!  I was just admiring the beautiful architecture and landscaping!  Is this yours?  Do you live here?"

[chromatic-hearts]

►Well check her out, were her eyes red by nature or did she have contacts. Same with her hair, and just added to Larz’s interest in the girl. Wondering what even brought her to Cain’s was also a question he wanted to ask.

                    Is this yours?

The redhead laughed a bit at her question, shaking a hand at her. “This? Hell no, it belongs to Cain, he lets wayward people stay there if they have no where else to go. Before taking me and seven others in, Cain normally lived alone.”

Larz didn’t ask Cain about why he let such a variety of people stay, but it wasn’t his place too. The owner of the house would share his story when he wanted, but Larz doubted he would tell any of them why he does what he does. Then again Larz didn’t share his story, least not to the others in the house.

Focusing back to the lady in front of him, Larz smiled at her. Turning his head to the right to blow out smoke. Thankfully the wind wasn’t blowing so it didn’t get in her face. Though her accent didn’t sound like she was from Scotland. Damn was she interesting, “That means you aren’t from here, are ya?”◄

►Having been scolding by Cain, again for smoking in the house. Larz was partially sulking, though it just seemed as he was sulking about the redhead was honestly just bored. He kicked himself up off the steps, after Dex came by with her usual half a bread loaf in her mouth, god she was weird. Snuffing his current cig out on the ground under his heel, Larz

The redhead lumbered about, the main courtyard, lighting up another smoke as he walked. Gravel crunching under his boots as he made his way toward the gates, a shade of purple caught his eye. Shortly followed by a slim figure, another wanderer maybe. Either way she interested him, if only because her hair wasn’t a usual blonde or brunette he’d come across.

“Now what’s a doll like you doing at a place like this?”◄

00:00:00 - A Sweet Summer's Day

00:05:00

Diana bit her lip, glancing up from her wrist and looking around nervously.  In less than five minutes, she was going to meet her soul mate.  In the middle of the Pokemon Village right outside of Route 20.

Thousands of situations were flying through her mind.  What if her soul mate disliked Dragon types?  She was a Dragon Tamer and it would break her heart to find out her love was going to have problems with her companions.  But then again, what if her soul mate disliked Pokemon and/or Trainers?  What if her soul mate was a member of a crime organization, such as Team Rocket or Team Flare?  What if she didn’t end up meeting her soul mate when the timer hit zero, and she was destined to be alone for the rest of her life.

00:02:50

Belle crooned softly to her worried trainer, wrapping around her trainer and nuzzling behind her ear in an attempt to comfort her.  Diana reached back to scratch behind her Dragonair’s wing-ears, the dragon turning to nuzzle into her hand.  “Thanks Belle.  I’ll be okay…. I think.”  She closed her eyes and relished in the warmth the sun was shining down upon the two of them.  Tick….tock…..tick….tock.

Winter Wonderland Contest - Costume and Team

Diana gasped in awe as she opened her package from Eva - her costume for the Winter Wonderland Contest that was coming up.

She had approach the other trainer and asked for assistance with her costume.  The two of them had competed in a few contests together, and the Dragon Tamer knew that the coordinator made her own costumes.  She really admired Eva for her creativity, for Diana herself wasn't that good at sewing.  She was a little good at coming up with design ideas, but costumes were not one of her specialties.  She of course offered to pay Eva for the supplies and her time, which she was glad when the other girl accepted.  Even though they were friends, she wasn't going to let her do a commission for her without being paid.

She had wanted something to compliment her team, and Eva had not disappointed her with her work.

"It's perfect!" she whispered, pulling it out and slipping it on.  "This is a masterpiece!"

She twirled around, letting the short flaps of the dress twirl and the sheer fabric of the cloak wrap around her body,  Diana turned to her duo for the contest, striking a somewhat attempt at a seductive pose.  "A little pinning up of the hair in an up-do and a few subtle trinket placements and I think it's good to go!  What do the two of you think?"

Masamune crooned, nuzzling the collar of the cloak in happiness at his trainer's content.  Ashe flitted around chortling, playing with the ends of the cape and sleeves.  They were obviously both happy with the results as well.

"I think this is going to be fun, regardless of the results," she giggled, pulling her companions close.  Her Hydreigon nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck as her Froslass cooed and tucked herself against her trainer's side.

sorry mom

Smaug groaned grumpily as he, Lady Ashe and his trainer trudged through the snow. The Charizard swishing his tail irritably through the piles of powder that melted a little as he touched them.  ”Oh quit complaining you big baby,” Diana chuckled fondly.  ”Besides, would you want any of the others to be out here instead?  I was the ‘smart’ one that decided to only bring two of you guys that do decent in withstanding the cold.”  The Charizard seemed to give it some thought before sighing with a big puff of steam.  ”I thought so.”

Diana probably hadn’t thought their situation all the way through when she left the last Pokemon Center.  Considering the weather near her hometown was a little similar, you would have thought she would have remembered what precautions to take. She had known the route was in for some snowy weather, but she didn’t think it would be this bad.  At least a few of her companions could keep her company. 

She looked to her Froslass, who twirled happily along side her, enjoying the weather.  ”Ashe, scout ahead will you?  You may like playing in a blizzard, but I think it would be a bad idea to stay out here too long.  Surely there’s somewhere we can stay.”

The Froslass cheerfully chortled in response, making the move to go ahead down the route before stopping in its tracks.  Ashe crooned curiously, pointing at a figure through the thickly falling snow.  ”What is it Ashe?” Diana tilted her head, squinting through the falling snow at the dark shape.  ”Is that…another person?  Looks like I’m not the only one crazy to go out in this crazy weather.”

She lifted her hand up, waving widely at the figure in the distance. “HEEEEEEEEY!”

[3000yearsofshame]

HEEEEEEEEY!

A voice cut through the howling wind, causing AZ to lift his head. He could swear he picked out a floating shape before it disappeared into the flurry once again, and for a moment, he figured it was just his imagination.

That was, until Sigilyph popped out.

A flash of light erupted as the pokemon broke free of its capsule, chittering angrily at someone ‘invading’ and taking off into the snow after the voice. “Sigilyph, come back here!” AZ managed to shout, but when he figure the wind had drowned out his voice, the traveler had no choice but to go after the flighty pokemon. “They’re probably just as lost as we are…”

[dragonessofthemoon]

The tall figure disappeared through the flurry of snow before Diana could pick out who or what they were.  Within a few seconds though, Ashe perked up straight and made a loud chortle, one she usually made when she was extremely interested.

"Ashe, what are you-"  A different, smaller dark shape emerged from the white snowstorm from the direction of the previous figure, the Froslass shooting forward to meet it.

"Wait!  Ashe, no, come back!"

Smaug roared out a call towards the Froslass as he and their trainer shuffled faster through the snow.

A Fateful Meeting - Closed RP with contesttrainer-eva

[dragonessofthemoon]

Diana stared in shock at Eva, eyes trailing over the gem the other trainer held close to her heart, before quickly lowering her eyes to the ground in sadness. “I……appologize.  I shouldn’t have asked.  I’m sorry for your loss…… I know what it’s like to lose someone close to you….”

Belle turned towards her trainer, sensing her slight distress, and shook off the sand around her before slithering over to Diana.  The dragon tamer smiled sadly at her Dragonair as she wrapped comfortingly around her.  Belle crooned, nosing at her trainer’s face.  Diana ran her free hand down the dragon’s body and smiled softly, trying to assure her she was okay.  ”It’s fine though.  The loss of a team member is like the loss of a family member.  I haven’t lost any one of my team yet…….luckily.  But I know great loss and mourning very well.”

[daintydamselseva-juliet]

Eva noticed Diana looking sadden, stating how she knew how it felt losing someone dear. Judging by how she looked down and apologized, Eva figured she lost family. “You don’t have to apologize, you didn’t know my answer would have been what I said. Let alone mentioning the loss of a Pokemon.”

That was very much the truth, when ever she was asked about the stone or why Hoenn was so important to her aside from being her home, people instantly apologized for assuming things. Though when asked about the stone, reactions were either half showing concern for her loss and half disgusted that she kept a stone from his chest.

She wanted one of his diamond eyes, because they were what she saw most. But that would have ended a hundred times worse. Blaziken nosed her head, bringing her out of her memories.

"I’m going to just guess, on a very thin sheet of ice, that you lost family. I kind of did too, but I was much to little to remember. I’m sorry for the one you lost." Eva spoke quietly as her Florges floated to the dragon-trainer. The flower Pokemon simply sat near her, not enough to intrude on the Dragonaire, but still close.

" I did not mean to make our conversation turn to sad memories, sorry. Should we talk about something else? I’d rather not make our teams overly worried when Smaug comes back. He might get more grumpy"

[dragonessofthemoon]

Diana shook her head, continuing to stroke her two dragons.  "While Belle was the only one to be there when it happened, Smaug and the rest of my team have each been there at least once for the anniversary ceremony my family holds every year.  He'll be fine.  This is one of the few things he's been with me almost the longest for.  He might be rough and tough on the outside, but when he knows that someone close to him is sad, reacting in anger is the worst thing you can do." She chuckles lightly.  "He's also really good at giving warm comforting hugs.  I don't know what I'd do if I lost any of these guys....."

Diana looked out at the sea, pondering what all she should tell this new friend, but it seemed Eva had suffered just as much as she had in the past.  "I've learned through the years that the best thing you can do when it comes to things like this is talk.  Keeping all the fear, grief, pain, anger and sadness all bottled up inside you never helps.  Talking about things might not necessarily make the pain go away completely....and you might always end up hurting somewhere inside from the loss..." she pulled Belle close to her body.  "but it helps in the healing process."  Diana looked to the trainer's Florges, nodding and smiling softly before continuing.

"You are right that it was a family member that I lost.  My family name is known far and wide for having experience with and handling dragon types. With dealing with dragons, larger Pokemon, or just heck Pokemon in general, there's always a danger.  When I was younger and Belle was just a Dratini, before my teen years, my older brother took me out to the Lake of Rage to see the Gyrados.  My family as a whole had went out before and we had watched the wild ones from the shore, but that day we decided to sneak away and venture out onto the lake to watch them.  I was on a small rowboat with Belle, while he and his Dragonair Surfed near the boat.  The sky got dark, waves got rough, and we got separated," she shivered, remembering that day in great detail.  "In short, next thing I know I see two raging Gyrados fighting each other with my brother inbetween them.  They crash and dive down on each other through the waves, and he's gone......dragged down to the deep or crushed by the creatures we've been trained not to underestimate." Diana shook her head as Belle nuzzled against her neck.

"My family decided it was best for me to stay away from the lake after that, at least until I got older.  But eventually I did have to face my demons and go back to the lake.  After all," she smirked sadly.  "What kind of dragon tamer is so deathly afraid of Gyrados that they have a panic attack?"
