A soft, breathy sigh escaped Syberus as he stepped carefully out of the helicopter. His boots made little noise as he lifted his head to look around, gazing up somewhat tiredly towards the grey sky that dropped heavy flakes of snow. After a couple of moments, he gave his head a small shake before quickly lifting a hand to tug off his sunglasses, sliding them into the large pocket of his hooded sweater. It didn't take him long to locate the group of other people that he quickly assumed had arrived recently as well. He made his way over though did not speak up or announce that he was part of the group, instead choosing to stand silently a few steps away from the group.

Though, despite his silence and distance, a woman who stood before all of them met his eyes and gave him a small nod before looking elsewhere. A new voice caught his attention, one with a bit of a laugh, causing him to turn his head a bit stiffly to see another woman waving towards them. A bit awkwardly he raised a hand to give her a small wave back before shifting the small backpack on his back a bit. It was just a bit rude to not wave back.

Syberus hadn't been all too thrilled to be re-assigned, at least not at first. Not only had he been forced to leave behind his younger sister and his step mother, but he had been forced to leave behind all of the extensive research work he had been assisting with. Some of it had been crazy and a bit insane, but somehow he was able to make some sense of it all. If only he could have brought it all with him, he wouldn't have minded this move nearly as much. Not that he did not love adoptive family, but, when it came down to it, he had more hopes in researching and the Kaiju.

The advantages to all of this though? Many. Far too many for him to list out at the moment.

YIIIIIIISSSS.

Dragon's Heart [Monochromatic & Ez]

"Yeah, I am good to get moving. I just need to put out the fire." Verloren quickly busied himself as he began to toss dirt onto the flames that continued to burn away at the wood that was stubbornly refusing to burn quickly enough to go out on its own. He wasn't paying much attention while Lu went digging around in the bushes, focusing on the flames that tried to move from under the dirt to avoid being extinguished.

"Ah, uhm... what? Necklace? Ruby? Emerald? Opal?" He answered, letting out a small hiss as the fire jumped once again. But this time he was quicker with tossing the muddy dirt onto it. And thankfully it was enough this time it seemed, to put the flames out for good. As he stood up, he quickly kicked over the black-burnt sticks that had refused to burn and smooshed them into the dirt while moving the rocks over it and the alike. Though he was sure not many people visited over here, he didn't want someone to find this, or have some animal try to eat the charred wood.

"Stuck? Huh." Ver scanned over the destroyed fire, nodding to himself a small bit before turning and hobbling over to where Lu was with the object he had found that was stuck. "If it is just a piece of jewelry or something, give it a good tug and we can get the chain or clasp fixed later. It is kind of weird for something like that to be out here, I suppose though."

Verloren let out a small huff as the dragon felt his forehead. He had a slight fever! Just a small one. How could he explain to his companion that he wouldn't die from a fever like this unless the infection got worse? He had completely forgotten about it almost, especially with the bandage on his cheek.

"I can sleep it off, though. Humans do get all warm though while their body is recovering from things, its just how it works. I'll be fine, I promise. See? Look at my ear, its not as red as it was before, right? Its all scabbed over?" Ver asks, turning his head carefully to give Lu a view of his ear. Which now actually looked better now that it had been cleaned and had medicine applied properly. Still a bit red, but not nearly as bad as it was before. He grinned a bit. "Humans wouldn't have survived this long if we died from a little fever like this. Its just how our bodies work. I kind of wish we had the ability to heal like dragons do though, it takes wounds like that arrow just a mere hour or so to heal, if even that."

Dragon's Heart [Monochromatic & Ez]

Verloren didn't mind the silence while he skewered his fish and set it on the fire. The flame was rather warm so it didn't take long for the outside to turn crisp and crunchy. Though he was no expert on cooking fish, he was quite sure that if the outside was crispy flaky, the inside should be cooked well enough for him to eat. It took him even less time to start eating the fish, not really giving it any time to cool down. He was starving, having not eaten since before they left yesterday. While he wasn't all too fond of the taste, he didn't mind the crunchiness of the scales he should have peeled off nor the bits of fish that were still a bit uncooked. Nom, nom, nom.

He tilted his head a bit as Lu asked him a question. Though Ver just offered a small shrug, shaking his head a bit. "Honestly? I don't think you did. Its alright to worry about things. I worry about a lot of things, but I am just not very vocal about it. And, of course I worry when your eyes change color." He chuckled a bit. "It generally means something is wrong or you are upset. I don't want you to be upset or angry. Ya' know, I want you to be happy."

Verloren mumbled softly to himself as he picked at the fishbones a bit more, managing to get a small bit more of fish before tossing the bones right back into the river where the fish had been caught. "And I can imagine it might be difficult for us for a while outside of the city for a while... but it will be better eventually. You could try to be a bit more vocal about your worries, too."

Dragon's Heart [Monochromatic & Ez]

"Awh, but... but Lu. I'll be fine in just a few days after the wounds heal up a bit more. Humans get feverish while healing a lot of the time. It just means the body is doing what it can to recover while fighting off infection and other things! The human way of healing. A fever is only a real problem if I am dizzy and cant get up." Verloren suddenly looked a bit worried as he eyed Lu, trying to gauge if he was serious about not letting him ride on his back while he had a fever. Though the look quickly faded as he let out a small laugh, a bit more serious.

"Well, I don't mind if you ask a lot of questions. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability!" He stopped for a moment, pointing towards the still uncooked fish. "For example, we can eat raw fish, but it has the chance to make us rather sick if it isn't prepared properly."

Dragon's Heart [Monochromatic & Ez]

Verloren watched Lu carefully as he spoke, listening to the dragons every word. He didn't even really need to look at the dragon to be able to feel his distress, but it helped sometimes to get a clearer view. Instead of starting to clean his fish, he pushed himself up a bit and hobbled over beside Lu before plopping back down beside him. He reached a hand up once again to lightly pat the top of the dragons head, a smile on his face.

"You know, its alright. There are things I don't know and cant do, and there are things you don't know and cant do. But that is the best part about this! We are partners, you know. We are here to help each other!" Ver leaned over, lightly bumping his head with Lu's before sitting back up. "If there is something you want to know or don't understand, its alright, really!" Slowly Ver shook his head.

"If you don't know something, or don't understand it, it is completely alright to ask. I know you don't really know a lot about humans. But you are a dragon, so its understandable." He chuckled. "I only know so much about dragons because of you and because of all the training they've been teaching me since I was about two. I mean... if you want to know something, you can ask me. And I will try to answer it the best I can." Ah, Verloren sure was trying to be comforting. He could only hope it would help to ease the dragons fears a bit.

Dragon's Heart [Monochromatic & Ez]

"Yeah... selling your scales isn't a good idea. We don't really know much about the outside world and for all we know, dragons could be a rare and people could be suspicious of how we got them." Verloren stopped digging around in his bag for a moment, tilting his head to the side with a soft grumble. "Actually, we should probably try to keep the fact that you are a dragon a secret if we can help it. At least until we know more. I've got some gold in one of the pockets of my bag we can use for now though." There was a faint smile at the corners of his lips.

"I thought ahead on this quite a bit." He chuckled, finally pulling the flint out of his bag and crouching back over near the fire he had yet to light. He was quiet for a few moments while he chipped the two bits of dark stone against each other, it didn't take long for several of the sparks to catch on some of the dried leaves he had nestled by the wood. It took only a couple of moments for it to catch fire as he fanned it very, very carefully. It would be a few minutes most likely before the rest of the wood caught on fire though. So he turned a bit, sitting down while he watched Lu drag the other fish over.

"But once we get to know the outside world a bit more, we can start doing other things like that."

Dragon's Heart [Monochromatic & Ez]

"Bu-...alright then!" Verloren said with a soft huff as Lu dove into the river. He wasn't sure if his companion knew how to swim, but after he popped his head above the water and dove back down, he figured he wouldn't drown at least. Sometimes dragons were lucky and just knew some things instinctively, he guessed. Offering a small shrug after Lu dove back into the river, Ver lifted a hand to lightly rub at the bandage covering over the cut on his cheek. With it covered like this, it felt a lot better. He was sure it would be a few days, but it would be fine and his fever would subside all on its own.

But he wasn't sure if Lu would be entirely willing to allow him to just wander around with this bit of a fever, even though he had dealt with worse before without medicine. Hm. He'd try to explain it after the dragon finished with fishing... in the meantime, he supposed now was a good time to start a fire!

Verloren was quick on his feet. He grabbed some sticks nearby and quickly began to dig out a small pit with his hands. It didn't take him too long to set up the sticks like a small tent, putting some rocks around the bottom of it before he tossed some dry leaves into the mix as he began to dig around in his bag for the flint once again. It was here somewhere, he knew!
