Random sentences starters: “This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done.“ spoken by Fai to Kurogane
“This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done.”
“Compared to some of the things you’ve done, it’s not that bad.”
“Don’t try and change the subject,” Fai hissed, but Kurogane was officially not listening to him as he inched closer to the sleeping beast within the cave.
A monster of unmatched strength, the townsfolk had described it as, able to breathe fire and lightning and ice at will. It could fly and its scales were harder than diamond, impossible for any weapon to penetrate. To top it all off, it was impervious to magic, absorbing it into itself and throwing it back twice as strong. Even Syaoran had considered turning down the bounty for anyone who could chase the beast off, until they learned that it had taken a child.
“Kuro-sama!” Fai called out, voice harsh and worried, but still a whisper, worried about waking the beast and causing harm to the sleeping bundle it curled around.
All Fai got back was an impatient wave of a hand and then Kurogane was even with the massive dragon. It was a terrible looking thing, spiked and clawed, fangs poking out of its massive mouth, horns atop its head as tall as Kurogane himself. Fai held his breath as he watched his fool of a lover-
That was not the plan! He was going to steal the child and hand it off to Fai to flee with while Kurogane fought the thing! What in the great many worlds was he doing?
One huge, red eye opened and focused on Kurogane. Unfaltering, Kurogane bowed his head. “This child has a family, you shouldn’t have taken him.”
The dragon lifted its head and considered Kurogane, Fai tensed and readied himself to shield the brave idiot from attack, but he never had to. “He cried for me, so I came. I will not return him.”
Fai could practically see the gears turning in Kurogane’s mind. “Why would he want to leave his family? Especially to live with something that’s not even the same species?” Fai was amazed Kurogane was asking these questions, he was still hung up on the fact that there was any sort of conversation going on at all with a dragon.
“They’re not my family,” spoke a small voice. The little boy they had come to rescue. “They took them away. They’re mean. I want to stay here.”
Fai didn’t know what smugness looked like on a dragon, but if he had to guess he was seeing it now. “They are beasts, my mate can smell it on their souls,” the dragon said. “The child is ours now, no one will take him.” Kurogane stood from his crouch and nodded. He, very boldly in Fai’s opinion, patted the little brown tuft of hair that poked out of the dragon’s coils, and made to leave. “Make sure your mate follows after you,” the dragon rumbled, and Fai couldn’t help but squeak. Wizards and dragons did not mix, and he would very much like to avoid a fight.
He latched on to Kurogane’s side, and gawked at the dragon as they made their way out and back out of the mountains. “What the hell?”
“Dragons are reasonable creatures,” Kurogane said, as if that explained everything. “Far more so than humans.”
“I still think this was the dumbest thing you’ve ever done,” Fai said.
