"Well, yeah." Verloren stated, having followed the dragon to the river. He was still poking at his ear and cheek, by now both of the spots looked red and sore, most likely from him poking at them though. "I really think it is worth it. We haven't really gone all that far from the village yet and take a look at this place!"
Ver said this, spinning around as he threw his hands into the air with quite a bit of glee. It was truly amazing here so far. Everything was so green, the water was so clear... he had never seen fish that size before either. Even the sky seemed to be so many different shades bluer than it had back in the city. Everything out here so far felt so fresh and free, without constrictions or anything else. It just felt natural. Even the birds here flew about and chirped happily around them before flying off elsewhere. There were so few birds in the city that were not in cages, it felt almost a bit weird being able to see them fly in the sky so freely.
"And as for my ear and face, well, it stings a bit, but this medicine will stop the bleeding and hopefully it will scab over in the next few days. If it gets infected, well, I'll deal with that if it happens." He just snorted softly, letting out a small huff. "But here, lower your wing if you could, so we can get that arrow out and get a move on it. Once night falls I am sure we will be much safer, at least from the elders. Hopefully."

"But here, lower your wing if you could, so we can get that arrow out and get a move on it. Once night falls I am sure we will be much safer, at least from the elders. Hopefully."
"Uhhh, mostly, yeah." Verloren was quiet until Lu landed in the grassy field. He quickly slipped off of the dragons back and onto the ground with a bit of a thud. A bit of blood dripped down from the right side of his face, having just narrowly escaped an arrow going through his head. Instead, it only managed to nick his ear and scratch across his cheek. It wasn't deep or anything, but it would take a day or so to heal, even with a bit of medicine. He lifted a hand up to gingerly poke at his cheek and ear, checking over the damage since he couldn't exactly just look in a mirror to check his face.
"Your wing, if you give me a second to get my ear to stop bleeding, I can help you pull that arrow through. Its a bit easier with my hands than your claws." Already Ver had his small bag spun around so he could dig into one of the pockets. He pulled out a small metal tin that reeked of crushed herbs. He popped the top of it off and stuck one of his fingers in, scooping out a small bit of clear goo with green speckles before raising his hand up to delicately rub the goo over the bit of his ear that had been damaged, and even a small bit across the small line on his right cheek.
"We shouldn't hang around here any longer than we have too. If they are really intent on keeping us from leaving, they'll be after us." Ver muttered out softly, already going about closing the small tin and dropping it back into his bag. Out of anything anyone knew of Verloren, at least he dealt very well with being hurt. Once he applied some medicine or decided the wound was not worthy of his worry, he got over it really quickly.

Verloren grinned, nodding at Lu as he gave the dragon a few moments to get adjusted to his draconic form. Though after those few sparse moments were up, Ver quickly adjusted his bag so the strap was now across his chest, much more secure than it was just hanging off of his shoulder. While he was trying to remain calm, he was a bit too excited to entirely wipe the grin off of his face.
"Gottcha'. Hold on tight and keep my head low." Verloren nodded as he quickly moved forward and climbed onto Lu's back as quickly as he ever had, careful as ever too, not even catching himself once on any of the scales despite his gloveless hands and uncovered knees. He was careful to not to move the 'cape' too much, clearly not wanting to cut himself up more. Though he was alright with getting a few more scratches, he wasn't entirely afraid of being hurt or adding a few more scars.
"Alright. All set and everything should be good." Ver sucked in a sharp breath, slowly exhaling. "I am kind of nervous to see the outside, but so excited about it at the same time."

Verloren offered a huge grin, nodding as he quickly pushed himself up from the grass. He quickly stretched out a bit, sucking in a sharp breath before looking down at his dragon. "It wont take me long to get my stuff. Just some cloths, food, medical stuff... then we'll be set." Ver lightly ducks his head before spinning around on heel and dashing off, away from the field and into the depths of the city.
The part of the city that Verloren was located in was not the best, but it wasn't the worst either. It was a small, comfortable house with a few windows and three rooms, bathroom included. Though the outside looked like a mess, it was the inside that was beautiful. BUT, Verloren couldn't bring himself to give much thought to the home he would be leaving behind. Instead, he was quick in his collection of things. He grabbed his old bag from under his bed and quickly stuffed a spare shirt and pair of pants from his dresser before exiting the room to go to the bathroom. He spent even less time in the bathroom, only staying there long enough to grab a small box of various herbs and bandages and other things to stuff it into the bag before he made his way to the small kitchen area! He had to take a bit more time in the kitchen though. He couldn't just drop all his bread and cheese into the bag without cover or anything...
It would be a good hour before Verloren returned to the edge of the field with a rather small leather bag slung over his right shoulder. He had changed from his cloths and was now currently wearing some ill-fitting cloth shirt and a pair of pliant leather riding shorts with his favorite pair of boots on. After a bit of thought, he really didn't need to bring all that much with him. He had lived a good bit of his life on nothing but the smallest amount of things. What he had packed would do him well. And maybe help Lu out, if he ever needed it. But dragons were a LOT sturdier and less prone to illness than humans were, it made him a bit jealous at times.
"Luuuuu~!"

"Luuuuu~!"
On my phone right now, but I'll work on getting a character sheet up once I get home.
Verloren couldn't help but let out a laugh as he caught the dragons eye color change, a grin reforming onto his face. Man, they really did think a like on some things. Just a 'day' was not sufficient. Two was not good either. A week seemed like a good idea... but.
"Alright, maybe not a 'day'. Maybe not just a 'few days'. How about until we are satisfied?" Verloren suggested, quirking a brow towards Lu, still grinning. "I mean, that could mean a few weeks, or a few months, maybe a few years even. Or longer. All you hear about here from anyone is how dangerous the outside is, how dangerous the world out there is... and I want to see all of it. I want to see past these walls and I just want to see the world my parents left me behind for."
Not everyone in the city was curious about life outside of the walls, many just accepted what others said about it being a dangerous, terrible place. But there had to be more to it than just the bad. There was bad everywhere, even in the city.
Verloren knew well of the dangers they would have to face to even attempt to escape the city. But if Lu was willing to risk it, then Ver was just as willing to risk it as well. People had been shot before, there had even once been a huge fight between a couple of dragons over trying to escape. It was dangerous, alright. But the thought of being trapped here any longer than they already had been ate at him in a way that made his skin itch. Hrmph.
"But, uh... if you are up for a bit of a trip, we should probably get ready."

"But, uh... if you are up for a bit of a trip, we should probably get ready."
Verloren jumped a bit as someone began poking him, but as he turned his head, his eyes went wide as a grin appeared on his face. It was none other than Lu, which he was thankful for. Just the dragon he wanted to see! He quickly turned himself around so he could face the dragon, his grin slowly dying down into a bit of a smile as he listened intently to his companion speak. A laugh escaped him as he slowly lifted a hand up to carefully tuck some loose strands of long black hair behind one of his ears.
"You know, I am sometimes very happy we share the same outlooks on some things. I was just wondering the same thing while sitting over here watching the older riders in the field." Verloren just shook his head a bit, letting out a somewhat breathy sigh. "Tomorrow they said, tomorrow we could do something. But tomorrow feels... too far away." Quickly Ver would sit up, offering the largest grin he could manage as he looked at Lu intently, his dark grey eyes practically gleaming in the early day sun.
"What if we just take off on our own today? You and I both know I can ride better than anyone else here! We shouldn't have to be cooped up all the time like this and just being told constantly to 'wait until we show you'. I already know it all. I mean... as long as we are back before nightfall..." A soft sigh suddenly escaped him as he suddenly flopped onto his back with another soft sigh. "I think they are afraid that I'll end up like my parents."
It was a small grim reminder for Verloren, constantly, at the trust he did not have as a rider nor as a person of the city. Both of his parents had turned tail and vanished to the outside world without him when he was still young. No one is sure if they were dead or not, but many believed they were still alive and well. Verloren was not sure what to believe, and for as long as he could remember he had stopped caring. He had Lu and frankly, that was enough for him.
"But yeah... what if we head out on our own? If we are careful enough I am sure no one will even notice."

Hm. Interested.
Verloren couldn't help but sigh as he rolled onto his back, pressing his hands to his face, laying out near the training field. The day was far from over and all he could think about was wanting to punch someones face in or do something drastic, something adventure worthy, something dangerous... just something exciting, truthfully. Unlike many of his peers, Verloren wasn't easily satisfied with a 'tomorrow' promise from the elder dragon riders. Tomorrow this, tomorrow that. At the rate the older riders were going, he was going to end up ripping his hair out and possibly taking off from the city!
Though, maybe it was a good thing they had spoke of doing something tomorrow instead of today. He had been told time and time again to calm down and to relax, that the dragons were not going anywhere and that he had all the time in the world to learn to do everything they knew. Maybe if he could prove to them he could go a day without starting a fight they might take him a bit more seriously. Just maybe.
Letting out another soft hiss, Verloren rolled over onto his side once again, tossing a lean, tanned arm over his face. For someone who was nearing seventeen, others often forgot he was still that young. Aside from his brash and stubborn nature, he looked a bit too old to still be a teenager. He stood roughly at six two and was rather lithe, tanned skin from countless hours of time spent outside, and dark raven feather colored hair that fell far past his shoulders and half way down his back. His hair was often tied back in a bun or a braid, it was a wonder he had yet to cut it all off though with how often it got pulled on or used as leverage during a fight.
"UUuuuurgh. Luuuuuuuuu. Booooored." Verloren groaned out. He had not even noticed the dragon was so near, having been so wrapped up in his own thoughts.
