Time and Date: January 8th [BEFORE the Two of a Kind Thread] - Early evening
Weather: Slight wind, cloudy
Previous Threads: None
(Let's just assume this happens after the next lesson... I'm mostly aiming for Fern/Starkad bonding going on here, but that can be changed, depending on what happens...)
Walking out of the training arena, Jokul felt like a total weakling. Why, you ask? Well, it might have something to do with getting beaten by Spitnose in a sparring match, and let's just say he is not happy about it.
Gods damn it all. The boy cradled his shoulder, hissing in pain every time he moved his hand in the slightest. That little brat better hope her body guard gets accustomed to the village, because I'm going to hit back one of these days. In a fit of silent rage, the grip on his arm tightened, only to make him wince and regret it after.
Trailing not too far behind him was his dragon, as per usual. She paid her rider little attention and popped her frill open and closed out of boredom, that is, until she saw his step falter. She might have the mental capacity of a 5 year old, but Jokul's wellbeing was still important to her.
Without saying anything, she scuttled around to his wounded side and prodded softly at his arm. "Don't, Stark. I'll be fine." He blew her off and kept walking, but she didn't give up that easily. This time, she licked his hand. "What the h-!" He jumped away from her. "Stark! No! I told you! It's just a bruise. Nothing to worry about." Despite the boy's reluctance to accept her concern, she continued to pester him.
Once the two reached the opening for the arena, he stopped around the corner of the entrance, leaning against the cold stone. Not only did he stop to get a better look at his shoulder, but since he was the first one out, he could wait and watch the others pass by him.
"Alright Starkad, you've got to be on your best behavior, got it?" The hobblegrunt perked up at her name. "Why?" She shifted her weight and brought her leg up to scratch her chin. "Because I'll be sure to tell Shade about that little fishing trip you decided to go on if you don't."
Immediately, the dragon whined, "You wouldn't!" Jokul smirked, knowing the blackmail had worked. "B-But I didn't do anything wrong!" She stuttered, pacing nervously around him, hoping to make him take pity on her begging. "Oh please. You and I both know how much Shade hates you anywhere near the ocean, never mind in it."
And with that, he turned the other way and searched for the blur of red he was looking for. Squinting his eyes to help focus a bit, he barely managed to identify Ulrika. However, the night fury following closely behind gave away who it was.
"I hope Fern didn't see anything with Spit..." He grumbled. In reality, the whole thing was an accident, but Jokul, being well... Jokul, couldn't help but pin the blame on the girl. After all, he still hasn't completely forgiven her for that first boat ride.
Thoughts of the younger girl vanished once he spotted the blotch of red in his vision. He had no doubt that she'd hug him. Whether she'd do it upon first sight or in private was yet to be determined though.
[ooc - that last paragraph was just Jokul's inner thoughts. She doesn't HAVE to hug him... I just guessed that you'd do that. So by all means, you could prove Jokul wrong if you wanted to
Oh, and the thread is in the dragon stables because I thought that'd be a fun place to help her learn dragonese.]
