"If no one saw you coming here, it is a chance they won't see you in the day either. I am more impressed and unconvinced you don't have a cave somewhere you hide in." He was not going to make the guise by dawn. He wasn't that powerful, was he? He needed things that won't be there before dawn. "Can't lay low for a while until I perfect your guise? Last thing either of us need is your guise failing half way down the street.."
He sighs a long sigh. "Well, looks like I have to actually temporarily change you back into a human until I can gather the ingredients. Wish I was buying time but even the Polyjuice Potion is insane to make...
A guise? Maybe longer." *He looked at the dragon's eyes.* "If you want complicated, take the potion mentioned. I'd need fluxweed... picked during a full moon, would have to stir it for eighty minutes.. then leave it to brew for 24 hours. Starting to see the complication in your demands?"
He slowly crossed his arms over his chest. "I haven't thought of the favor yet. So cannot say it if I don't know it. And if I do make the guise to soon, it could fail.. or worse, make you have human parts along with dragon parts either temporarily or permanently." He wasn't taking this threat, it wouldn't make the boy rush. He couldn't rush this since it can and more than likely will end in disaster either way. "Now will you let me work in peace or will you threaten me constantly or kill me?" He had no fear for his own life, but he also was in a way pointing out he can't do the impossible. "You can compel me as well I am sure, but even if I work the spell with my all, it won't be enough."
A low boiling twist of hot smoke filtered up into the air. "Fine~," Tom stated with more annoyance to his tone than anything. "Of course I do have a place to 'hide," he almost smirked in his Dragon-like way. "I'm not a child at this game.~" But that said, it did not change the fact that he wanted his guise now rather than later. He was limited while in this form unless he did want to unleash devastation upon this human infested city... and while that sounded reallly really nice right then, especially after having been trapped from this true self for over two years .. that would be a major hitch to his plan.
At the comment on changing him back to a human form Tom did start to laugh. "You are such a fool, Aurelius. You do not in fact, have that kind of power. That I do know as fact. Even Pan could not do that without help of something else not human. Please... I am not here for a laugh. I need my fucking guise ASAP."
He had thought of compulsion, but whatever... if that's the way the boy wanted to play.
"Fine. I'll do a favor but we're not waiting 'til morning. I'm bringing you to my Order. They'll have everything you need."
With a billow of smoke steaming from Tom's nose and teeth, he so smoothly for such a large creature circled the boy entirely within his front claw. "I wouldn't fight me, you don't want to fall now do you?"
With an enormous sounding crack, Tom leapt up from the ground, expanding his black wings like a veil over the tops of the neighboring buildings -- Aurelius in his grasp.
