Who: OPEN
Where: Anywhere in the city, or down by the river.
Summary: Thoughtful wanderings of a great wyrm bronze dragon.

Much had happened the past month or so, from Linsha's repodding to the battle of Nirsat and the revelation of his true identity to the crew at large, the attack on the ship and then subsequent step down from the council itself to a more advisory position. One that at the very least continued to allow him to utilize his vast knowledge and skills to aid the council and crew. Nevertheless he had much to think on from such things, thus in his true form he wandered the streets, exploring the city as he went.

The path of his exploration leading him out away then looping back around, then back towards the river in which he usually swam surveying the damage that had been wrought on the city from the constructs that had laid siege to it, his path only deviating to give the Drunken dragon wide birth. It wasn't too long before his massive strides found him back by the river, setting himself down by the bank as he thought.

(OOC: feel free to come across Crucible/Bight at any point in his wanderings, or down by the river)

Ahri had taken the pegasus' advice and decided it would be good to at least search for a place to call her own. Her personal preference would have been something near the river, but far from anyone, or anything else. That made it so she explored by riverside, taking her time to enjoy herself, walking barefoot through the shoreline.

She seemed so distracted by idle musings and personal and sometimes childish daydreams, that she didn't notice the large presence at first. By instinct she wanted to backtrack and take a safer route, but her curiosity, as per usual, got the best of her. She approached the large creature slowly, ready to blink away at the first sign of danger but still with that curious gleam in her eye.

"Hello~" she greeted cheerfully as she approached, not wanting to startle the dragon. her tails even seemed to make the illusion of waving in greeting, fanning from side to side.

Finding a spot near the river where no one would draw near would be a difficult task with the exceptionally large dragon who was often seen swimming through it on a near daily basis along many portions of it, seemingly at home as much in the water as in the air.

Even deep in thought it was rather difficult to sneak up on a dragon, especially one of Crucible's age. Though he did not make any indication of it as he continued to ponder on the happenings of the ship a moment longer. The tip of his tail swaying slowly back an forth as if thoughtfully in and of itself.

Once she spoke up however he lifted his massive head and turned his gaze down toward the one who had greeted him, "Hello to you," he replied not unkindly in greetings, watching her with a slight sense of interest, she at least seemed different to the many humans aboard the vessel.

"Taking a break from the daily... well whatever it is you do?" she said curiously as she drew nearer, looking in amazement at him. She had to be wary of dragons, while they weren't the dominant species in Rune Terra, they were still highly dangerous.

No Baron Nashor, but still...

"Apologies," she added as she turned to face his head once more, "I'm new to the place and was just intrigued by your sight. Name's Ahri~"

"Indeed, of a sort, taking some time to think," He replied after a moment, watching her thoughtfully, at least she didn't seem afraid despite his size. Dragons were not such an uncommon sight on Krynn, though after the Dragon purge their populations had been greatly reduced. There were very few beings that could claim power greater than the dragonlords.

"Do not worry, it is fine," He acknowledged with a slight dip of his head, his expression and the way he held himself that of one who was clearly confident, "It is good to meet you then, Ahri, I am Crucible, I am also known by another name, that of Hogan Bight, I am currently acting as Advisor to this vessel's council,"

Ahri smiled as she was finally besides him, opting to blink atop one of the nearby structures to him so the large dragon didn't have to look down. And because she disliked being looked down upon, even when the creatures or humanoids towered over her.

Once on perched atop the structure, she sat in a relaxed position, dangling her legs in an animate fashion as her tails swayed behind her.

"Crucible... Bight... Hmmmmm I like Crucible more. Sounds more regal and commanding, fitting for a dragon I'd think~" she mused with a playful smile. "Advisor to the council huh? That's a pretty top job... I think? I don't know how the government aboard this place works yet... can't say I've payed much attention other than to exploring around really." And the occasional glance at the omnicomm's information whenever she felt the need to be bored.

Crucible followed her blink with curiosity, he had seen his share of those who could teleport, though her blink seemed somewhat different, an interesting talent, one that he made a mental note of.

He gave a slight snort of amusement as he replied, "Indeed, Crucible is what I am known to most in my true form, Hogan Bight is the name I took on in my human form as the Governor of Sanction, prior to all of this," Leaving out the fact that while both were mortal names for him he yet had a true name as well.

"It is a position dedicated to the assistance of the civilian council and can act as well as a liaison between council and crew should it be desired," He explained by way of reply, "The majority of the information as to the civilian council, constitution and information on the military command structure can be found in the omnicomm, otherwise I or others would be able to elaborate on the information and answer any questions, should the interest arise,"

"I see, so you were really important even before all of this happened huh? I suppose people of great value find themselves in such positions no matter where they end up at." Ahri mused as she looked at him. Powerful creatures often times found themselves being hunted, such as her, but it was nice to hear his story. It was... rather pleasant being in his company oddly enough.

"I can't say I've looked into it too much. It all seems so official and in the end the message delivered is the same. We're at war, there's a structure, and an enemy and several undertones as far as trust issues go with our 'allies'. So you're everyday war more or less." She'd witness enough wars in Rune Terra to have noticed a particular theme in most wars.

"Indeed, I have seen to leading the people of Sanction for fourty years past as Lord-Governor, as well as protecting them as Crucible," Crucible dipped his head, "It is such a position where my skills and experience are of most use," He cast his gaze to her, he knew well how one could be hunted during the dragon purge he had kept his head fairly low, apart from the few daring chromatic's that had thought they could hunt one of his standing.

"At its essence quite so, it is merely the scale of the war that is different, worlds and realities are what is to be fought over rather than cities and countries,"

"Seems a bit surreal I guess. There were different realities that we knew of back in Rune Terra, even different worlds, as evidenced by some of our more... colorful Champions. But to hear that these things are devouring each of these without stopping is troubling." Ahri sighs and looks away for a few moments in thought before turning back her attention to Crucible.

"I'm not one to let these kinds of things get to me. I'm me and I do my own thing and I pledge my allegiance to the current government until the war is over, afterwards I'll be on my way as per usual." Oddly enough, it seemed more like she was trying to convince herself than actually making a declaration.
