First Fear | Action

[unstiff]

[ Four doesn't have much use for the ims, not yet anyway. Instead, he'd rather explore, get the lay of this place first hand. No one would realize it to look at him, but he is infinitely glad to be back in a somewhat familiar setting. It's not Camp Jupiter, but it's not constantly moving around. It's not endangering anyone. It's safe. That's something that Four hasn't felt in more than a year. Sure, it's far more relaxed than what he's accustomed to (and he's not entirely sure how he feels about that) but it's a camp environment and he's been told that there are campers here that he knows. It's not home, but it's close enough for the moment.

Come bother the new camper, don't let the fact that he's stalking around with a scowl on his face dissuade you. He doesn't bite. Mostly. ]

Comments

[ Four nodded a little. He wasn't certain about them, but he'd withhold any sort of real judgement until he'd observed them and Dany a little more. ]

They're still young, aren't they?

[pyrkagia]

They are, yes.

[She nods a little, stepping closer as Viserion cranes his neck out, motioning for him to move forward, to check Four out.]

They grow much more quickly than I anticipated. There's not much lore here on these sorts of dragons - much of what I have to go by is from Peleus, our guard dragon at the mouth of camp.

[unstiff]

[ Four stands still, careful not to show any kind of fear. It's something he's very good at, mostly because one of his fears are being torched by a dragon.]

We're fortunate to be able to study them then.

[pyrkagia]

[She nods a little, quite proudly.]

I'm hoping they grow to be as well-trained as Peleus is.

[Shoulders still straight and tall, but her eyes relax a little. You're okay, Four.]

What is your name, then?

[unstiff]

[ Four nods a little. ] That would certainly make them more useful.

Four. [ He responds.] If I go to shake your hand, are they going to attack? [ He nods to the dragons. ]

[pyrkagia]

Four. [She repeats it, then gives a look to all three dragons who have by now assembled near her feet, extending her own hand.]

Daenerys Targaryen, daughter of Hephaestus. These are my children, Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal.

[She motions to each dragon in turn with her free hand - black, cream and gold, green.]

[unstiff]

[ Four shakes her hand.]

It's nice to meet you, Daenerys. [ He nods in turn to the dragons.]

How much of what we say do they understand? [ He's curious]

[pyrkagia]

To be perfectly honest with yoou? I'm not quite sure.

[She crouches down to get closer on their level, expecting him to do much of the same.]

They've only learned to do certain things I ask of them when I ask them to do it in Greek.

[unstiff]

[ Four muses that, remaining still. He's not a statue, but he's not making any forward movements either. He frowns a little watching them then addresses them in Latin, not giving them a command, just introducing himself. He's curious if they understand Latin or only Greek.]

[pyrkagia]

[His body language is good and doesn't intimidate them, doesn't pose a threat - but his words don't mean much. They only really understood the commands she gave in Greek because she trained them like one would train a dog.]

I'm not sure it worked.

[unstiff]

I'm fairly sure it didn't. [ He shrugs a little. ] It's okay. I was just curious if they understood Latin as well as Greek.

[pyrkagia]

To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure what you said. We're not taught Latin here.

[unstiff]

[ He chuckles a little at that. ] It's all right. We aren't taught Greek at the Roman camp. I just asked for some sort of sign if they understood.
