Nodin comes to rest

Nodin flew in, still angry from his arguement with his sister. He began to graze, finally cooling down. When he ate his fill, he trotted under a tree and layed down to rest.

Zenya: I flew in, keeping my distance from him. "Hello?"

Nodin closed his eyes and sighed. "You should stay away from me. I'm not in the mood, plus I don't want my sister even more angry with me." he said, his brow furrowing.

Zenya: I sighed. "I'm sorry." I backed up a bit, afraid he might try to kill me. "I didn't mean for your sister to get mad at you! And I just came because I wanted to see how you are."

Nodin glanced at her, then looked away. "I'm fine.." he snorted.

Zenya: I smiled. "Ok." She looked down. "What do you mean when you say "Your not in the mood?"

Nodin snapped at her. "I meant that I'm not in the mood to deal with some mare!" he shouted, his eyes flashing with sudden anger.

Zenya: I smiled, trying to hold back the tears. I couldn't do it. "I just came here to help you. Then you snap at me. You Zanari people are the rudest!" she said being her bravest. She stepped away, but didn't leave.

Nodin pulled back, seeing her tears. He looked at the ground and closed his eyes. "Nevermind. It's not your fault. Just forget it.." he said, sighing.

Zenya: I lied down where I was. I set my head down on the ground and stared at him, watching for any sudden moves he might make.

Nodin studied her. "You think you could run from me if I decided to attack you?" he asked, then he huffed. "Good luck."

Zenya: She started shivering in fear. She got up and walked back alittle bit.

Nodin was suddenly behind her, his wings settling as he blocked her path. "Where you going?" he asked.

Zenya: She shivered in fear. She studied his look. She shook off the fear and tried to act brave. "Somewhere." she said shivering in fear. She started walking back.

Nodin watched her. Then he closed his eyes and walked past her. "You should calm down and stop shivering. Show some bravery." he told her.

Zenya: I smiled and turned around. "I'll show you bravery!" she said in a proud voice. "Why don't you try to come hurt me you big fatty!" she said in a brave voice.

Nodin stopped dead in his tracks at the insult. He hunched his shoulder as racous laughter shook his body. His dragon form slowly took over. He turned and looked at her. "I suggest you don't insult me again." he said, his icy eyes searing into her.

Zenya: She started shivering in fear. "I was just playing!" she said quietly. She sighed. "Do Zanari's ever take jokes?" she said to herself.

Nodin transformed back. He looked at her again, then he turned back to the tree. He shook his head. "You don't listen to advice very well...be brave, yet don't be insulting. It could get you killed.."

Zenya: I snorted. I turned my back on him. I walked off alittle bit and started grazing.

Nodin layed down again, watching her. Then he looked off into the distance, layed his head down, and finally closed his eyes.

Zenya: I silently approached him. I lied down beside him. Inside my head I kept on saying. "Please, don't kill me! Please don't kill me!".

Nodin opened his eyes as he felt her approach. He closed them again as she laid down, dosing off.

Zenya: I smiled and set my head on the ground. I nibbled on some hay grass nearby and finally fell asleep.

Nodin woke up a few hours later. He quietly got up and moved out into a basin of the valley. He grazed to quench his new appetite.
