I-I'm not going to masturbate! G-Gren is right there!

It's drizzling outside. It looks like the clouds get way darker to the west, and the wind is moving east, so that'll be on top of us in a few hours.

There's not very many people outside in the city below. A few buildings still have lights.

I can still go out and find food, but I'm not hungry so I don't think she will be, either. Maybe later in the day. And, uh, I didn't see any kind of grass on the way up here, but I can keep an eye out!

Well, uh, Gren is probably going to be mad if I wake her up. But you're right, we should probably start moving as soon as we can.

Gren? Hey, Gren, wake up...

Yeah, Gren. Come on, we should get moving. It's going to start raining really hard soon, so we should get going...
"Damn it. Why did you wake me up? I was having a nice dream!"
I'm sorry! What, uh, what were you dreaming about?
"None of your business."
Okay, sorry, sorry. But we should really start going. Are you hungry?

We hike down to the road again, down the curve far enough not to be seen by the city. Grennie doesn't stop being grumpy. Who should we, uh, ambush? What are we looking for, exactly?
>>
No. 401388 ID: 369d34

The trick here is getting them to stick around long enough to say your piece without hurting them.

Wait around for a lone wagon or carriage heading towards the city. Gren'll step out a safe distance behind and shout that she'd like to ask some questions. Bo'll step out into the road at the same time, out of view around the curve. When they inevitably tear off for the city they'll stop when they see Bo. Bo reiterates that they just want to ask some questions and have them deliver a message to the city guard.

There's a good chance this won't work; They might abandon the wagon or cart, or try to go off-road. If it fails, head back down the road to another spot and try again. The important thing is not to harm or threaten anyone.

Once the road clears out I sneak up as best as I can. I'm not really built for this! But anyway no one sees me, and now I can't see Grennie. And, uh... I guess now I wait.

Apparently I don't have to wait long, though. I hear what sounds like Gren saying something kind of forcefully and loudly, and then someone on a cart being pulled by some animal comes very quickly around the corner. I jump out onto the road and the rider sees me for sure, but the cart isn't stopping!

Whatever you do, don't be aggressive or run towards the people. Tell Gren to walk off the road over to where you are. Call out that the cart driver is hurt and needs a healer. Then head away from the road, but stay in view. Gren can help you deal with that chunk of cart in your side once you're clear.

M-my wound? Oh... I hadn't noticed t-that... But, uh, I drag the man away from the cart and start to back away.

Gren, come here please!
"Why?"
Just-- come on!

She walks towards me, avoiding the wagon. The people on the road back off as she passes them. Once we're both a good distance away, I start to yell out to them.

I'm, uh, I'm very sorry about the wagon! I'll make up for it if I can!
"Bo, there's... there's something sticking out of you..."
But I think the man is hurt! Is anyone able to take care of him?

N-no, it's not in my neck, it's, uh, just right above my shoulder. But... it hurts, and the wound looks dirty. I'm starting to feel a lot more than just that, though-- ow! My whole side is aching. I'm just going to... agh... kind of lower myself to the ground. J-just for a bit.

Aaaaugh! D-don't touch it!

Keep the cauterization option as a last resort. You want cloth to press on the wound when the wood is removed, and strong alcohol to sanitize the gash.

Gren should head to the wagon wreckage, telling the people there this was an accident, the result of a stupid plan. Search the wagon, crates, and barrels for cloth or a tarp and alcohol. As a last resort Gren could demand the bystanders shirts and coats.

Intentionally flipped the cart, when you have giant pieces of wood in your side? No way.

The pieces of wood are dirty, and Bo is developing an infection. They need to be removed. While heat can cauterize a wound, flame breath would cause serious damage to the surrounding area. What we need is to heat up something that's metal via fire breath, then press it to the wound so that ONLY IT is burnt.

The people crowding around the injured man give me uneasy glances as I pass by to look around the wreckage. I sift through the boxes for a while while Boaga glances between me and the road to the city.

Directly applying fire to the wound is not cauterizing it, it's burning it, which would invite even more infection.

Take the alcohol. Sift the wreckage for a length of metal you could use in cauterizing, if it comes to that. A metal wheel rim or long pin used in the front axle truck could work.

If just applying pressure after cleaning the wounds with the alcohol doesn't staunch the bleeding, then cauterizing will be necessary. Heat the metal, hold the wound shut, and press the metal against it. There's still the threat of infection, but Bo won't bleed out.

I would rather avoid having to do anything with the people on the road. It looks like the driver is fully conscious now and is talking to them, though.

I pick up the alcohol and some rations, no matter how unappetizing they seem. I... I also take a particularly expensive-looking necklace. If anyone saw, then they're not saying anything. I pick up a discarded piece of metal that came off of the wagon on my way back to Bo.

Drinking alcohol thins one's blood, and makes it less able to clot. That would make him bleed more. That is BAD. Don't give him alcohol to drink, just use it to sterilise the wound.

"I'm sorry Bo, but it's going to hurt whether I do anything or not. Please, let me try."

Don't give Bo any booze, it interferes with blood clotting, and you're going to need all you have to sterilize your hands and the wounds. You'd have to get him drunk to the point of passing out for that to work, anyway.

Try to stop the bleeding from the wounds with just hand pressure first, before resorting to cauterization. When you pull the wood out, clean and sterilize your hands in the booze, then reach into the wound to pull splinters and any other foreign bodies out, then wash it down with the alcohol. You don't want to leave anything like that behind if you have to cauterize.

I pour some of the alcohol over my claws. I... I just realized how difficult this is going to be.

Boaga yelps as I start pull out the pieces of wood. I go slowly, and even though they're only a few inches deep it seems like forever. But once they're out, his wounds start bleeding a lot more! I panic and try holding them shut, but due to the fact that there's two of them and claws don't make good graspers, I don't accomplish much. I pour a good amount of alcohol over the wound and go for the iron and start to heat it up with my fire.

It takes a minute for it to get glowing, while Boaga watches me with an expression of terror. By the end I'm light headed, but it's ready. I balance the cooler end between my claws and move in. Boaga screams in pain and involuntarily thrashes when the iron touches the larger wound, causing more burns than is necessary.

Hey, hey. You're doing good. You're okay.

...Hey, Bo. It's over. I'm done. I'm proud of you.

I step back from Bo. The wound is sealed and he's not losing any more blood, but the cauterization didn't help his pain at all. He's grinding his teeth and tears are streaming from his eyes. I... I feel really sorry for him.

Lay down next to Bo and place your hand over his. Tell him you're deeply sorry for getting him caught up in your ill-prepared quest for vengeance; You didn't even think he would get hurt, and that just shows he deserves a far better friend than yourself.

Bo's not going anywhere for a while, and almost certainly there are guards coming from the city. Abandoning him is out of the question, and fighting all the guards could very well be beyond your capability. Unfortunately, unless you can carry Bo away on your back, you're going to have to show that you're not hostile and cooperative, and hope the guards aren't the shoot-first-ask-questions-later type.

Ask the crowd to relay your apologies to the wagon driver for causing this mess, that it was all because of a dumb plan gone awry, and you'll make it up to him somehow, just as Bo said.

You're not bleeding anymore. Do you still want the alcohol?
"Y-yes..."

I help him to drink what's left in the barrel. It was about half full, which is probably a bit too much for him. But if there's a time he's ever needed it, now is that time. I notice the crowd forming behind us.

Give us some room.

They back off, almost stumbling over themselves.

And... and tell the driver we're sorry. We'll make it up to him, somehow.

I turn back to Bo. He looks like he's not in as much pain as before. Even a little tipsy, maybe. He never did handle his liquor well.

Hey, I'm really sorry about that.
"It's okay, Gren..."
No, it's not! I never wanted you to get hurt. I'm sorry about making you come with me. Y-you deserve better than me.

Perhaps when this personal quest is over with, you could start a new quest to find Beodox and nail down if he loves you like you do him. 'Cause after what you've been through, waiting for a love that doesn't love you would be tragic.

The guard is going to know they're facing dragons, so there's going to be loads of archers and crossbowmen, and maybe mages. Both of you are going to be big fat targets standing out in the open. Get Bo up and move into cover in the rocky area you came from. Either have him lean against you for support, hold his weak side up with one arm, or carry him on your back.

On the way to the rocks, pass by the injured wagon driver, and give him back that necklace you took. Get his name and tell him that you'll find a way to make it up to him for all of this. That'll make a impression.

Once you get Bo and yourself in cover, watch and see who's been sent from the city. You might still be able to talk to them from the safety of the rocks, but don't be surprised if their reply is arrows.

Bo tries and fails to stand on his own. I help him up and support him. He keeps his head turned away from me. I stop by the wagon driver, who is sitting up and looking around.

This is yours.

I'm very sorry about all of this, Vasile. I'll find a way to make up for what we've done.

I see a group of armored men come around the bend. There's about... ten of them. Most of them are holding crossbows. One of them is at the head of the rest. They see the wreckage, but they haven't spotted us yet. We can probably slip away unnoticed if we needed to.

Soon the city is in sight. The guards on the walls are visibly alarmed, and remain so despite seeing our escort. It takes a few words from our, ah, guide to calm them down. Apparently he hold some position of power. The gates are lifted for us.

We find ourselves in the center of a massive crowd. Boaga is close to panicking and I am admittedly a bit afraid. Neither of us have seen this many people before!

The crowd is silent for a moment as waves of awe ripple through them. A few start yelling, trying to grab our attention, and soon most of the crowd is roaring. Boaga lowers his head seemingly in an attempt to hide. I inform our guide that he is stressed, wounded, and afraid, and that he needs to get away from the crowds and find a place to rest. The man tells us that he will try, and motions us to follow him in a different direction before explaining, through the roar of the crowd, that their ruler is busy at the moment anyway.

A few people in the crowd catch my attention.

It's hard to tell, but Boaga seems to be feeling the extent of his wounds. I'd imagine that being hit by a wagon and having your wounds burned shut would take a lot out of you. Though... I don't think my rejection of his, um, feelings helped any... B-but that's not something I want to think about right now.

I am Lord Grentonis and this is Boaga. I would like enough water for both of us and for you to answer a few questions after you bring that.

Please, there is no need to be afraid of me.
"Sorry, it's... it's hard not to be..."
I understand. But yes, I do have some questions. What is your name?
"Oh, um, I'm Aleise Bentrant."
It's good to meet you, Aleise. Now, is there anyone in the city who can identify poisons? Or give me information on the amount of magical skill required to create a shield or instantly move a short distance?"
"A-actually, yes! Our lord Gailegh is very adept in the magical arts! I heard that he is eager to meet you and I am sure he would be perfectly willing and able to answer any of your questions. He probably also knows someone who can identify a poison.
That is good. Where do travelers in this city stay?
"Well, uh, we don't get many travelers at all, but they usually stay at one of the inns."
Thank you. Now...

I give her the description of the man and ask her if she's see anyone like him around.

"Ummm... No, sorry. I haven't. If you want, I can put an inquiry out for information for the gate guards and see if they've seen him. H-he's the reason you came to the city, right? Would it be asking too much to ask you what he did?

Ask if Aleise if there's someone who could go around to the inns and ask the travelers if they've seen the described man on the road in the past week, and when and where. He's undoubtedly ditched the armor by now, so you can only hope he was spotted heading to this city. Also ask if she could get the armor description out to the local armorers.

Hey it is another woman to talk to.

Yes.
"Oh... I'm so very sorry. I shouldn't pry."
It is simply something that I wish to keep private. I hope you understand.
"I do. We all have our secrets, I suppose."
This 'Gailegh' intrigues me. He wants to see me?
"Yes."
How would I meet with him?
"Well, he's conducting business with a friend of his. But he's asked to see you as soon as that's concluded, if you're willing! So in an hour and a half, if you want, I can get some of the guard to guide you to his hall."
Has Gailegh been... out of the city in the last few days?
"Well, he got back from a mission of diplomacy a week ago, but he's been in the city since then, conducting meetings."

There is a knock on the door, and after a second a man walks through. He is dressed in a plain robe and is carrying a satchel.

"Hello? I-- oh, hello, uh, dragon. I-I heard there was someone hurt that I was to attend to?"
Yes, in the corner over here.
"...the other dragon?"
Yes.

He hesitantly makes his way over to Boaga, who is either fast asleep or trying to shut out the world around him. I give him a poke in the side.

Boaga, hey. Turn over so the healer can see your wound.

Bo slowly and painfully rolls over. He avoids looking at me. When the healer sees his wound, he gives a small gasp.

"What happened to you?"
He was impaled by a few errant pieces of wood after a collision with a wagon. I removed the wood to the best of my ability, and had to burn his wound shut with a hot iron to prevent the bleeding.
"...Well, that may not have been the best thing to do, to be honest. I'm not all that familiar with, uh, dragon anatomy, I think the muscle is torn through. The cauterization didn't help anything, but you probably kept him from bleeding to death."

He removes a flask from his satchel and pours a bit into the wound. Boaga winces.

Stop! He's gone through enough pain.
"I'm sorry, but I have to. The wound is dirty and he will get very sick if I don't."

After washing out the wound, the man holds his hands over it and mutters something under his breath. The wound is enveloped by a blue mist and is closed.

"I've sealed it, but I can't do much for the underlying damage. He needs to rest for a while, while keeping well fed. Try to keep movement to a minimum. Walking might be fine, as long as he doesn't overdo it."

forget about semantics and thank the healer.

too bad you lack anything to reward him with. perhaps a promise will do, however. ask for his name, I'm sure a little amount of money for you is a big amount of money for him, and he deserves it for possibly having saved Bo's life. plus it'd help people be less hostile towards dragons.

Say that you didn't expect you'd have access to a healer any time soon, and Bo was bleeding around the wood. At the time, it seemed like the right thing to do, but you admit you're no healer. Thank the healer for his time, and check on how Bo's doing.

I admit, I am no healer. Burning it closed seemed to be the best course of action at the time. Thank you for helping my friend.
"It's my pleasure. Now, if you'll excuse me, there are other patients I must attend to."

The man leaves. I turn my attention to Bo. His eyes are half-closed. It's pretty clear that he's not really paying attention to anything at all. What should I say to him?

"Um, excuse me, miss Grentonis. If you'll let me, I have other things I need to do. There'll be guards out front. I'll be back in an hour or so to take you to our Lord if you want, but before I leave is there anything else you need, or...?"

Sit down next to Bo and say you're sorry. You're sorry for everything. You're sorry for ignorantly taking advantage of his love. You're sorry he was injured because he came on your quest. You're sorry for cruelly pushing him away when he professed his love. But what you're most sorry for, is hurting him. That is inexcusable, and you will understand if he doesn't ever forgive you. All you can say is you're sorry, and that will never be enough.

She leaves and after a few minutes comes back with the same frightened-looking man wheeling yet another cart, piled with cloth. The man leaves in a hurry for a second time, leaving the cart by the door.

Thank you for all your help, Aleise.
"It was my pleasure! And, uh, don't forget. If you want to go anywhere, there's guards just outside. They'll take you wherever you want. I'll be back in a little while!"

Beodox... I could just tell that he loves me, and that he cares for me. He tells me that I'm beautiful and special to him, and he's so strong a-and sexy. But Boaga... he's my friend, and I just don't think of him that way. I guess that, maybe, without Beo, I m-might have been... interested in him. He is kind of cute.

I hope you don't mind me asking this, b-but how long have you been, uh, in love with me?

Yeah. Years ago.

Bo, roll over so I can put this under you.
"But--"
Come on!

He rolls over onto his back, and I lay a few layers on the ground before ushering him back to his position. He looks a lot more comfortable. I take the top off of a barrel of water and push it his way. He takes a few drinks and lays his head down.

Woman, can't you feel the doubts in your own mind? You can't acknowledge that the people you've believed closest to you could be far more concerned with themselves than love? And you, girl, who has only thought explicitly of revenge for the past few days as your own friend, in a similar situation, has thought only of you and doing things for you?

You yourself have been close-minded to kindness and love in your trauma, who says Beodox is immune? Is he thinking of you now? Your eggs? Or maybe it could be his horde or even his simple stomach? Where are these doubts coming from? They're coming from deep inside your mind. You're conflicted, and this weighs you down worse than the crime done to you mere days ago. You may not only seek revenge against your attacker, but your loneliness.

Use the opportunity to get a good sniff off him, and see if he flinches being so close to a dragon's maw. Once you start talking, gloss over the bit where you threatened to burn down a village, and leave out biting the head off that crucified murderer.

There is no need to go into detail. Just say that you're pursuing a man who has wronged you. You're a dragon, you don't got to explain shit. Then give a description of him and his capabilities, including the poison and magic.

Try to keep that you were raped secret, Gren, but if he wishes to know what happened to you, tell him in private.

That'll require some mental and verbal dexterity to pull off without it backfiring, so only leave it for if he doesn't stop prying.

It wouldn't be right to if he doesn't feel up to it. You'll head back to your quarters and ask, and have Miss Bentrant relay his choice.

>>408125
Oh, for the love of... Where to begin...
He is a skilled mage, but of unknown ability. We don't know if he can teleport or block dragon-fire. He was out on a diplomatic mission, but we don't know exactly when, how long, or to where. As a lord, he's presumably rich, but how he spends his money, and what he owns, is unknown. We don't know if the rapeknight came to this city; The clear trail dried up at the fork in the road, and we guessed at a direction. The kiss on the paw is odd, but the guy could just be an inveterate flirter, and really does like all creatures. And that servant lady, Aleise, could have told him you were female after you told her.
He's not off the suspect list, but Gren's going to need much more evidence before accusing, or outright attacking, the lord and mayor of a city.

No, this guy isn't the rapeknight.
>"Well, he got back from a mission of diplomacy a week ago, but he's been in the city since then, conducting meetings."

He's been in town all week. However, his 'friend' he was meeting today is VERY likely to be the rapeknight, as it would not be unusual for a knight to be friends with a noble. Plus, as we've seen he LIKES dragons, and friends share interests, and he would have told this guy by now what he did. Like a "I tapped that" sort of thing. Before we agree to anything, ask if his business friend shares his perspective on the beauty of dragons.

If the answer is yes, we need to take boaga and leave. A knight under the protection of a noble is far beyond our reach. On our way out, take aside that lady servant that was dealing with us, and confide in her. In fact, see if she's willing to take payment to poison the "business friend" if this turns out to be the case.

You, however, would like to visit an alchemist and get a sample of that poison tested. It's been days already, and you don't want to risk it decaying so far it can't be identified.

It's the child from the crowd. I admit, I am terrible with human faces. Why can't they have distinctive head and snout shapes? Then it'd be much easier to tell them apart.

A satchel is a good idea but I do not like the fact that it would go around my neck, although it would be difficult to reach anywhere else. Perhaps we could find someone here who I can consult.

I plant myself in front of the child. A few people walking along give me a wide berth. Aleise looks concerned when I bring myself close to him.

"Well, chain is a common kind of armor. It's all over the place. It's fairly expensive, however. It's hard to nail down who made it without having it in front of me, too. The horned helmet, however, isn't common at all. It's impractical, even. More for intimidation than anything else."

Let the coward go, without charges. You've got better things to do, and it was no more than a scratch. Head over to the tailor to get something for the dinner.

Since it's short notice, and you're definitely not their regular kind of customer, choose something simple. A wide silk or satin scarf, wrapped around the base of you neck, would be easy to make, and workable with your large paws. Have them choose a color that goes well against your scales.
As for any bags or satchels, that's more suited for a leather-crafter. Whoever makes saddlebags and such gear for horses would be a place to start, but that's for another day.

After that, head to the jewelers. Once again, nothing fancy or custom made. A pair of large, wide simple gold bracelets, or matched wide necklaces, that would fit over your horns. Those would be easy for you put on and take off, since it would not involve clasps.

Something scarf- or shawl-like would be simple enough to get in less than five hours, and Gren can put it on and take it off with her own paws.

>>412197
This is a good start, but lower it down so it's around the base of her neck. Ask the tailor to loop one end back around and triple stitch it, so Gren can feed the other end through without messing with knots. Get the other end weighted so it won't slip out of the loop easily. Then it only needs to be looped around Gren's neck once, or even not at all, if she wants the end to stick down more.

As for color and material, request a color that will go well against your scale color, or black, if she doesn't have something that matches. Silk or satin would look good, but not be sturdy. Ask for a material that's sturdier, but won't look too bad.

I tell the woman what I want. A length of sturdy yet appealing cloth, dyed to go well with my red scales, to be wrapped around my the base of my neck. She thinks a bit, and tells me that it is possible, and to come pick it up after at least three hours. Her and Aleise exchange words, then coin, and we continue on our way. We cross over to the magical supply store. It is a larger building, with double doors, so I am able to fit through. I remember to send Aleise in first, however.

There is a bespectacled man sittng at a table, a book in his hands. He stares at me.

His shelves are rather bare. Comment that he's rather low on merchandise right now; Was there a run on the store, or is it supply problems? Well, no matter, you're here to ask some questions, if he'll answer them.

First off, describe the magical abilities of the rapist; The teleport and flame shield. Ask how much skill and ability a person would need to do that. Also ask if those magical effects could have been enchanted into an item he was wearing or using, and how expensive that would be.

Next, describe the poison as best you can, after confirming he knows about alchemy.

Finally, ask about the use of dragon parts in magical devices and concoctions. If he gets nervous, say you're not accusing him of anything, you're just looking for information. Ask what're the most valuable parts, and if dragon eggs are valuable.

Gren's not going to be selling anything based on that, of course. It's to get an idea of how much reward a egg-snatcher or dragon-slayer would get, and a better idea of a possible danger out in the world for her and her future children.

I understand the logic behind asking, but I still think it's a)extremely creepy b)not actually that valuable in terms of information.

OK, so don't ask any specifics. Ask generally how much you or Bo would have to worry about dragon part hunters and egg-snatchers. Though, it'd be helpful to know if fresh dragon's blood is worth anything, just in case you need money to pay someone later on.

You seem to be sold out.
"..."
Are there problems with supplies or have you gotten a lot of purchases?

He remains silent until he sees the humans accompanying me, at which point he breathes a sigh of relief.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I thought... Well, I don't see a dragon every day... Uh, most of the stock is in the back room. It wouldn't make sense to keep everything up front."
I suppose.

He tucks a pipe into his robe.

I need information.
"About what?"
The difficulty of certain magic. Namely, a short-range self-teleportation spell and a shield capable of blocking dragonfire.
"Well... The difficulty of a teleportation is proportional to how far one was teleported."
How about four meters?
"So a 'blink', then? It's of moderate difficulty. You'd have to be somewhat trained already to be able to effectively utilize it. Theoretically anyone could do it, but they'd stand a fair chance of appearing halfway through a wall."
And the shield?
"It sounds like a simple ward, but to hold against dragonfire... Again, the wielder would have to be moderately skilled to do so. Might I ask why you need this information?"
Reasons.
"... I didn't just doom some poor person with that, did I?"
We will see. Do you know anything about alchemy?
"Not much, I'm afraid. I only specialize in magic. Our alchemy expert is out in the field gathering ingredients."
I see. Then I'd assume that you wouldn't know much about the use of dragon parts in anything magical.
"Only rumors. We haven't had the chance to do much research ourselves, you see."
Of course. But people would still pay for, say, dragon eggs?
"Y-yes..."
How much?
"Probably a few hundred coins for one. I really can't say..."
M-hm.

Is that all, or should I leave? Where should I go from here?

When will the alchemy expert return, does he think. We may require his knowledge as well.

A few hundred isn't worth the risk of challenging a dragon, thank god. So there isn't that good of a market for your eggs.
We should ask some people to try and retrieve that dagger out by the caravan crash if we haven't already. Chances of retrieval are nil, but it's worth a shot.

Wait, was it the wagon crash, or the crucified man where Gren left the bag with the poisoned dagger? If it was the crash, then do ask if someone can be sent out to look for it. Maybe contact the wagon driver, Vasile, and ask him if he saw or found it.

Do ask when the alchemy guy will return, and thank the man for his time.

Well, it looks like you or your children won't have to worry about posses of dragon-hunters and egg-snatchers. One less thing to worry about in the world.

Can't think of anything to do, other than perhaps poking your head in the jewelry store and freaking out the proprietor. There is something to ask Aleise about: How well does Lord Gailegh take a lady rejecting his advances? You want to know if it's a "berserk button" for him before you get in trouble.

The dagger isn't at the caravan crash. It's in some field at the base of my mountain where I interrogated that villager!

Would you buy fresh dragon blood then? I've got a surplus.
"...I wasn't going to say anything about that cut, but... I guess I can. I'll give you 50 for what you have."
No, keep it. Consider it payment for the information you've given me.

He retrieves a bottle and sheepishly wipes as much blood from my snout into it as he can manage.

When will your alchemy expert return?
"Soon, maybe in two or three days."
I see. One more question before I leave: Would it be possible to track someone through magical means?
"Yes! You would have to 'tag' them with an invisible sigil, though."
Okay. Thank you for your time.
"You are very welcome!"

I walk outside with Aleise. The rain is as strong as ever. It's starting to really get on my nerves.

Aleise, does Gailegh get upset when a lady rejects his advances?
"If he has, I've never seen it."
How does he react, then?
"Well, you can tell he's disappointed, but he won't force it too hard. Ladies don't reject him often, though!"

I guess there isn't much else for me to do, then. Boaga is probably awake. He didn't seem very lucid when I told him about the meal, so it might be a good idea to fill him in on that and what little I've learned so far. He could wait, though, if I need to do something else.

We're dining with Gailegh-- Uh, the lord of this city-- in about four hours. Do you think you can make it there?
"Y-yeah, I think..."
Okay... I can get you a wagon to ride in, if you're not feeling up to it.
"I think 'll be okay."
I got some information on the-- the man we're trying to find. He has to be somewhat wealthy and well-skilled in magic. So that'll make it easier for us to find him. Maybe we could ask around the more wealthy people in this city. They must have some sort of lead. But--

That's a much harder question to answer than "Why do you love [Name Here]?"

There's nothing WRONG with Bo--you really enjoy his company and friendship. You do like him--as your friend. But for whatever reason, the romantic attraction isn't there. You simply don't like him amorously, and you really can't provide a concrete reason why--that's just the way love is.
>>

Awkwardly explain that he's pretty much your best friend, but that you still haven't given up on Beo yet. If Beo turns out to be a dick, things might change, but until then, he shouldn't get the idea that just by being awesome to you, sticking with you, helping you in your time of need, keeping your secrets... dammit. Blush and hug Boaga, and tell him that he's one of the best dragons you know, but that you're still trying to figure things out with Beo and you would feel terrible if you gave up on him without finding out why he left, what he's been doing, and whether or not he'll come back.

Everything would be so easy if you loved Bo. You wouldn't be lonely anymore, he would be happy, your children would have two adult dragons in their life since Beo probably isn't ever coming back.

But do you feel that way? Can you feel that way? Forget Beo when making your decision. Even if he really did have to go off and do whatever he's doing, you likewise have to take care of yourself; for your sake, for the sake of your children, and for the sake of Beo himself, as surely he would want what is best for you in all things. The question remaining is: is loving Bo what is best for you? Is it what you want? Is it what you feel? As much as you may not want to betray Beo, or hurt Bo's feelings, that's all that really matters in the end.
>>
No. 414028 ID: fdad59

You just don't know why you don't love Bo. He's been a great friend, stood by you in your time of need, and you'd do anything to help and protect him, but when it comes to love... The "spark," that mysterious amorous element, is missing. It's something you can't even begin to explain why.

Though, you might know the reason Bo fell for you. Before you met him, he led a lonely, fearful existence. When you found him in your territory, he fully expected he'd die at your hands, but that didn't happen. Something he didn't think would ever happen happened: You were kind to him. You showed compassion. You let him stay. To someone who'd been beaten down their whole life, it's beyond words. That it was done by a beautiful lady dragon, it's no wonder Bo immediately fell in love.

Can I ask why you believe Beodox is coming back? What did he say, what did he do to earn such loyalty from you? I hardly believe monogamy among dragons is common. You're big powerful beasties, why should you lower yourselves into following the human concept of monogamy? And even if I'm wrong about dragons being above monogamy, why Beodox? What did he do that is worth your devotion besides sleep with you and make you a mother? Did he whisper sweet nothings into your ear? Call you beautiful? Call you his sun and stars? Any man can say these things and not mean it.
What makes this charming male dragon so much of an ideal mate, so trustworthy and NOT just one of those dumb men that love sleeping around and leaving when the going gets tough? Or do you not want to accept the fact that the father of your children is some sleazy pile of scales going around banging every whore he sees and that you're dumb enough to sleep with such a sleazebag? No, of course not, there's no way you'd sleep with a pathetic pussyhound. Just no way.

IF you want Bo off your back, just say you don't have the strength to love anybody anymore.

That you're loyal to Beodox because you wouldn't have to put any effort into loving him because you already do. You just can't fall in love with just anybody, you can't control your heart, especially when you've been victimized and any chance of getting justice is getting slimmer by the minute.

I just edited what the quoted said. either/or. Maybe add something about if he hasn't the proof that Beo has done the same as the knight we seek, he shouldn't be accusing him of it. That its hard enough already dealing with it happening once, and being so insensitive to suggest Beo did it too, that it happened twice, with no real proof, is not what a friend does, let alone someone who claims to love you.

Bo, say that she doesn't have to go if she's not feeling up to it when the time comes; You'll stay with her as well. Lord Gailegh can postpone the dinner until tomorrow, at least.

Extricate yourself from Gren long enough to find Aleise and warn her that Gren may not be in an emotional state to attend dinner tonight, and you won't leave her side if she doesn't. Ask if the dinner could be postponed to tomorrow in that case.

Perhaps ask Gren if she'd prefer if Lord Gailegh came here to hear want happened to her. It could be easier to handle than attending a dinner.

There's probably people in the city who keep track of dragon locations and sightings, as a service for travelers and caravans. Ask if there are, and if so, give a physical description of Beodox so they can check where he has shown up.

If she succeeds, then shower her with affection and make it clear she and it means a lot more to you than just sex. If she becomes upset over raping or attempting to rape you then tell her you really, really wanted to have sex with her, but you were too worried she couldn't give meaningful consent like this.

Keep up the casual conversation! If it gets too awkward maybe use your wound as an excuse to get her to back off a bit. If she IS coming onto you, this is basically the worst time for it ever. She's been on an emotional roller coaster the last few days, and the last hour or so especially.

She may have also simply taken your assurance that her not loving you is okay as meaning that embracing like this wont bother you. She could simply be looking for comfort. Not enough info to act, really.

No. 416450 ID: b9e291

Don't say "no". Don't talk about how this is "wrong". Just hold her claw away from you and extricate yourself. The idea is not to escape her, but to entice her. As your physical superior she could pin you down and have her way with you, but if that happens she'll be OK. She is acting on her fears that you will do so to her, just like the last two, so if you can be strong and hold back, without lying to her that you don't want it, then you'll be able to alleviate her fears, and that will bond you and her far more than a quick romp in the heat of the moment. Just think how much better it will be when it happens again, and again. Third time's the charm. If she gets upset, tell her you're holding back because you care about her and love her.

Why, Bo? Don't you like her? Why is it making you uncomfortable, exactly? Is it the suddenness? Or are you just afraid of scaring her with your MASSIVE DRAGON DONG? Warning her that if she keeps touching you like this that you'll get an erection seems appropriate if it's the latter. Simply asking her why she's so affectionate would work for the former.

Don't panic. Calm down. She is your friend and you can talk to her. She's not going to rape you.

I stay quiet and try to cuddle her as best as I can. It's hard for me to, though, without hurting my shoulder more so I end up curling my tail over her back. It's kind of an awkward position!

A long time goes by. Gren goes back and forth between crying and just holding me. She's quiet when I realize it's almost time for the meal.

Grennie, hey.
"...y-yeah, Bo?"
I think it's time to go. Are you gonna be okay?
"I t-think so."

She slowly gets up. We both walk outside and meet Aleise.

"Oh, I was just about to see if you two still wanted to come! Are you ready to go?"
"Yes. We need to visit your tailor as well."
What? Why?

We're escorted into some kind of marketplace. Not many people are out, probably because of the rain, but most of them leave pretty fast once we get there. Gren goes up to a window and is handed some kind of long dark blue cloth which she then wraps around her neck with a little bit of trouble. I still don't understand. I guess I should complement her, though, right?

That, um, that looks good with your scales, Gren.
"Thank you! You should try wearing it."
Um, n-no, no thanks.
"Come on, just once."
It’s okay, I--
“It’d look good on you!”
Please—
“Come on, stand still!”

She unwraps it and then loops it around my neck. I kind of stand there while she laughs and tells me that I should wear it instead. I g-guess I can’t say no.

We get to the front door of the palace and are lead through a lot of tall hallways until we come into a huge room lit up with a bunch of candles. There's a big table in the center and a bunch of people are running around putting things on it. A bearded man wearing nice clothes and a cape comes out of another door. He notices us and throws his arms out. I guess this is the lord?

"My lady! I am glad you could make it. I see you have brought your friend as well. Please, both of you, have a seat! Dinner should arrive shortly."

He motions to two large comfy-looking cushions on one side of the table. On the other side is a normal chair. We all sit down, while the servants do the stuff that they're doing. One really stands out to me. It's a large thing with bent legs, sharp-looking head, and light brown fur all over its body. It's carrying a tray of silverware and, uh, it seems to have collars connected by chains around its arms and neck. I-- I've never seen anything like it before.

Thank you for inviting us. This is my friend, Boaga.
"Hi..."
I have to say, I am thankful your palace is large enough to accommodate us. I was afraid we would have had to have this meal in the courtyard.
"Oh, but that would make me a poor host! I would never dream to demean you in that manner, my lady."
Of course. Might I ask what will be served?

He motions a servant over to the table.

"What is the selection today?"
"Beef seasoned with black pepper in peppercorn gravy, slow roast pork, quartered red potatoes in butter and rosemary, roasted spinach-stuffed tomatoes, a salad of romaine hearts, spinach, and diced cucumber with vinegar dressing, and a selection of fine liquors, sir."
"That sounds excellent. Thank you."
Yes, thank you.

I am not sure at all what most of that meant. I assume it's good, though, because this man eats it. I notice the thing that is holding Boaga's attention. He looks like he's thinking about trying to talk to it.

If you do not mind me asking, what is that strange creature?
"A gift, from the leader of a nation in dusty plains far to the south. I do not know much about it, other it doesn't seem to speak any language of man and does not seem to be intelligent. It seems to be somewhat adept at serving, if nothing else."
I see.
"My lady, I admit that I am intrigued by you, and I wish to know more about you. I hope you would not mind if I ask you a few questions?"
...That is fine.
"Where do you live, Grentonis? And do you live alone?"

I'm not sure how I should answer these, if at all. Another servant comes by and asks me if I would like any alcohol. Mead sounds... very good, but might not be a good idea right now.

I decline the drinks.

I live in a range of mountains with my children. There are a few other dragons nearby but they keep to themselves.
"Interesting! Is your childrens' father watching over them, or--"
They do not have a father.
"...I see. I am sorry."
It-- it's fine.
"Then, if you don't mind me asking, are they being supervised at all? I do not wish to doubt your skills as a mother."
Yes, by a trustworthy aquaintance of mine.
"You seem to think they are capable so I will not press the issue any further."
I am curious about the food that will be served. I am not used to such... delicacy. Forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of "seasoned" or "gravy".
"Ah, yes. 'Seasoned' means it has been given flavor through the use of spices or certain plants. 'Gravy' is a, well, a sauce usually made from the otherwise unusable parts of meat."
Hah, given flavor? Isn't the meat flavor enough?
"Haha, not for humans, no."

Several servants deliver plates of smaller food items. The smell of cooked meat wafts in the air. The servants leave and the room is empty save for us three. Gailegh gives a deep sigh.

"I was afraid we would never be given privacy. My lady, I am still very curious of your reason for coming here. You seemed rather reluctant to explain. I understand if it is too much of a sensitive subject, but it would still be a great help if you were to tell me the entire story."

Ask Lord Gailegh to move closer so that only he can hear, warn him that you're going to have a hard time recounting what happened, and that you've only told your good friend Boaga everything.

Tell him the beginning: That a man in chainmail and a horned helmet, armed with a sword, came into your home. You attacked him with dragon-fire, as you always do with trespassers, but he blocked it with magic, then teleported next to you. As you moved to hit the man, he threw a dagger at you that was coated in a poison. When it hit, your muscles lost all their strength, leaving you helpless. You could do nothing as the man approached and... raped you...

I-it was three days ago. I was resting in my home when a man-- a-a man in chainmail and a horned helmet entered. I responded with fire, a-as I always do with tresspassers, but he... he used magic to block it. I went to strike him instead and he threw a poisoned dagger at me, a-a-and-- I w-was paralyzed-- I couldn't move and I j-just laid there...
"My lady...?"
H-he came up to me, a-and-- he raped m-me...

I break down, and Boaga is there for me.

"We've been looking for him ever since that, and the trail we've been following lead us here."

On the other hand, Bo, after being injured and having his love rejected by you spent hours with you when you were at your lowest. Doing nothing but being there for you when you needed it, asking nothing in return, because he is a good friend.

And now you are saying rather cruel things to him and planning on abandoning him when he is injured and in unfamiliar environs? What, because he got injured? An injury you are partially responsible for?

Stop being a bitch Grentonis. Be there for your friend. Start by apologizing, then let him get his rest. But stay with him!

I support this. Go home or somthing Bo. If she is going to treat you like this after you've done so much for her she's not worth your time.

Hey I supported the dance option and etc, I never told Gren to be a huge bitch to a guy who has followed her through this whole trip for the sole purpose of helping her.

Both of you stop it.
Gren: You were being a jerk to Bo. Don't be a jerk to Bo. He shouldn't be getting and lashing out at you, but his words cut deep because he's mostly right and you know it.
Bo: This is wholly inappropriate. You've gone well past calling her out for being mean and on to attacking her.
Both of you: Settle down, apologize, and make-up.
Bo: Hug Gren.
Gren: Kiss Bo.

Bo: Okay, you let your emotions run away from you a bit and you've gone too far with your words. You need to calm down and apologize, but your concerns are real and can still be made to be heard.

"I-I'm sorry, Gren. That wasn't fair of me. I j-just got so fed up with being treated like a... like a toy. Like if I don't do everything you want you'll just walk off and abandon me. It h-hurts to think a friend doesn't really care about you."

>>422040
Really? Fine, I'll support it, but on the condition that it can be a totally platonic kiss if Grentonis feels like it.

Keep at it, Bo. Gren's been nothing but a bitch to you this whole time, taking advantage of you, then abandoning you when it was convenient. You always end up getting hurt because of her while she sits pretty and laughs. It's time you gave up on her lost, whorish cause and took your life back.

Besides, you haven't said anything that isn't true.

NO! I'm sick of your bullshit! You've just been taking advantage of me, my help, and then you just don't give a fuck about me! You abandon me whenever it's convienent for you! And all this, after I've done so much for you! Like how I spent hours comforting you while you held onto me and cried into my shoulder!

And... you did that because you trust me. I-- I'm sorry, Gren. I just don't want to be treated like that anymore.
"But--"
I'm not taking back the things I said. It's all true. But Gren, I do care about you. It just hurts to think that, as a friend, you don't care about me.
"...Damn it, Bo. It's-- it isn't like that. I care about you, too, and I'm thankful for everythting you've done for me."
Well then why have you been treating me so badly?
"I-I don't know. M-maybe I've just been taking you for granted. I've been ignoring your feelings."
Then, please, realize that I have feelings too. I was ready to walk out that door and go back home, injured shoulder and all.
"Wh-- n-no! Please d-don't do that! Please. I-- I need you. I need your help. I don't think I can do this without you, Bo."

"Then please, calm down. If you want to go do something, go do something, but please don't blame me for your boredom. I've been through enough today, okay? I'm not responsible for that. If you need emotional support, I'm there for you, but right now I can't do anything much else, let alone something active like dancing or shopping. I really need rest; there's probably a decent friend around here somewhere if you honestly do need someone else to go have fun. The servant lady might have some decent ideas for a human."

Bo, what the fuck do you think you're doing?

You're letting her win again.

Just man up and tell her the truth.

"You're right, Gren. You can't do this without me. But this isn't about you anymore, this is about me, and I can sure as hell do whatever I want without you."

Gren, it's probably because you feel like you have to be as dominant as possible to compensate for the shame of what that man did to you, and the shame of having to cry on Bo's shoulder about it. You're a proud dragon. Proud of your strength, and he made you weak.

On the other hand you used to bully the villagers near you a lot. Perhaps bullying is in your nature.

>>422623
That would be incredibly selfish. We're not past the point of no return, here.

No. 422725 ID: 6e44d2

Jeeeeeezus! So much drama.

Bo, just do what you gotta do to keep the peace and not get walked all over, and forget about Gren as soon as all this is over. She just isn't worth your time or attention in any sense. Find some other cute dragoness who isn't a frigid bitch.

Hey, there is no sign she is frigid.

Kind of a bitch..yeah.

No. 422865 ID: 5db3c3

Of course you'll stay and help her. You just might need her to help you help her occasionally. And part of that is accepting your limitations and not being a jerk about them. For now, that means letting you finally go to sleep. So tired....

I won't go, Gren.

She-- oof! She hugs me.

"Okay okay thank you! T-thank you. I really need do need you."
Okay-- Just, please. I meant everything I said. Don't be like that anymore. Don't blame me for you being bored. I just want to stay here.
"No, it's-- it's fine. I want to stay with you. I always wanted to stay with you. That's why I wanted you to come have fun with me."
W-well, I'm sorry. I'm tired and hurt. I just want to sleep.
"That's okay. I should, too."
Yeah, you're... you're kind of drunk.
"Y-yeah... Hey, Bo?"
Gren?
"Do you mind if I, uh... If we... stayed this close? While we sleep?"
