Melody leans forward, looking at the massive dragonborn, catching it's stoic gaze as she murmurs, "Do... you know where they're taking us? What's going to happen to us?" her voice cracks, it's been days since she tried to speak last. It never did any good.
The creature's eyes narrow and a hot puff of air blasts from it's nostrils. The chain attached to the muzzle around it's snout clatters as it turns it's head away.
The girl's cheeks flush darker and she turns instead to the pointed eared man beside her. "...How'd you end up here?"
"Who, me?" His voice is low and rumbly, gravely but not in the same dry way Melody's voice ground against itself. He turns a little, smirking toward the scaled creature. "You don't want to answer her?" His lips spread to a grin and his head cocks to one side. "What's wrong, cat got your tongue?"
All at once the cart lurches as the massive creature lunges forward, thankfully held in place with heavy chains wrapped and weighed down to the cart. Nostrils flare and another hot puff of smoke ripples forth. With a clatter of chains, it settles down again, snorting in distaste.
"No? All right." The man turns toward Melody, turning his good eye to her. "We're going to Osem, darlin'. They're going to sell us like cattle. Or they would be - but we're not going to hang around that long. Or at least I'm not."
He grins wide, cracking the stream of blood that dribbled and dried from his nose with a smile that was almost too white. "I'm Aklas, nice to meet you."
