Meh.
Noah lugged his large, metallic broad claymore over his back as he finally reached his destination. He strapped his claymore to the ties on his back and hopped down off the ledge he was on, landing in grass now. It had been a roughly twenty climb down to reach this forest. He gulped softly. What if something goes wrong? Dear God, Im gonna- Hey. Calm. You can do this. He drew in a deep breath and forged onwards, keeping a close watch on his surroundings.
 
Deep in the lush forest through which Noah now traveled there was a cave within a raised cliff. Near this cave flowing down this cliff was a small waterfall flowing into a spring, which moved into a small stream. The trickling sound of the water would grow stronger as one got closer to this waterfall. It wasn't far from where the warrior now walked, the stream only a few paces from him.

Currently, someone stood inside the spring, the water of the fall flowing over the form, obscured by the mist of the falling water clashing with the spring. Selia runs her fingers through her red hair as she bathes in the fall. Her tail, covered in bright red scales sways slightly as she hums happily to herself. She was blissfully unaware of a stranger in her part of the forest, simply going about her own business.
 
Noah followed the stream towards it's origin, looking up as he saw the waterfall and cave. He mulled this over for a moment. Hrm... now how to get up there quietly? He looked around him, thinking to himself before completely freezing up. His eyes were riveted upon the form beneath the waterfall, his breath caught. No. It had to be an illusion of the dragon, a trap... or a pet. Something! That couldn't be...

However stupid it seemed, Noah forged onwards, leaping right into the water and pulling his claymore off his back. He grabbed whatever creature stood there by the neck and held her against a rock, claymore poised at her neck. He stopped immediately, fairly unable to think. This... this could not be...
 
Selia gasps softly as she hears a loud splash, her pointed ears twitching somewhat. She turns to look through to water as a form dashes toward her and squeals as a hand reaches toward her. She moves quickly trying to avoid being grabbed by the man, but the hand catches her shoulder, shoving her back against the rock wall. Her wings stretch out wide from her back as she squirms, and then kicks at the man. "Let go of me!" Her eyes glance over the blade pointed in her direction, trying to move away from it, and the man holding it.
 
Noah was just as surprised as she. He froze up and his gaze and grip faltered for a moment when he received the kick. He dropped the blade into the water and had the wind knocked from him, grinding his teeth. Noah looked back up at her, before taking a step back.
"You... you can't be. You can't be the dragon that's rumored to live here! You're too... too..." Beautiful...
 
Selia's golden hued eyes watch as the sword drops to the water, feeling the hand move from her shoulder, she took her chance to move quickly from the falling water. With a flap of her red scaled wings she leaps to the shore of the spring, quickly grabbing up what looked like a couple pieces of tattered old cloth. One of them is quickly tied around her chest, concealing her modestly sized breasts, the other is tied around her waist like a skirt.

Once she is dressed she breathes a little sigh and turns to look at the man again with a little frown. "What are you talking about now? I do live here."
 
Noah shook it off. What the HELL am I thinking! You came here to claim titles, not to claim a, a... pet! But damn... I...

Noah sighed and sat on the opposite shore, groaning. "Great. Freakin' great. My first kill as a dragon slayer, and I can't even do it. I already chickened out." Plus twenty gold pieces to Adam when I get back. Noah looked up at her. "I can't kill you... I thought they meant some feral, ravenous dragon... not some beautiful dragoness."
 
Selia stares at the man for a moment as she tries to figure out just what he was talking about. Kill her? Feral dragon? As she thinks it over, the pieces start to fall into place and a light clicks on. "You... you're a dragon slayer? And you thought... I was some terrible feral dragon?" Her frown turns into a grin as she stretches out her wings and whips her tail behind her. "Well... maybe I AM!" She claws her nails at the air and growls a little. "Rawr!" She can't help but giggle slightly at herself.
 
Noah looked up and arched an eyebrow, not restraining a slight chuckle as he smirked. "Terrifying," he jested, standing again. He walked into the water to retrieve his sword, strapping it securely across his back. He then made his way to her side of the stream, standing in front of her.
"Listen... I just... can't bring it to myself to kill you. I'm a novice dragon slayer. This was my first job, and I already failed." He sighed softly. "I... I can't go back empty handed though. I have to have... something. Else I'll never live this down."
 
The dragon girl watches the man as he moves into the water to get his sword. She relaxes some as she watches it strapped to his back, but still moves back some as he moves closer to her side of the shore. She listens to him and wonders thoughtfully. "Well..." Her tail twitches as she thinks and looks him over. "There is a nasty black dragon in the land north of here. He likes to attack farmers, steal their animals, burn down buildings. You could perhaps go after him..."
 
Noah sighed. "I suppose. I just... I'm not sure if I'm up to the job. I am a merchant's boy, not a knight. Im not sure if I can handle something like that alone."
"Listen, I'm sorry to be so intrusive... but would you mind if I stayed the night here? The nights are growing cold lately and it is too late for me to try and turn back. I would get caught in the cold." He had a million other thoughts buzzing in his mind at the money, he just needed to rest for a while. Maybe I don't need to slay her... maybe I could just bring her back alive?
 
Selia's tail twitches slowly as she considers his words, and his request. She brings a finger up to her chin as she hums thoughtfully. "Well.. I guess I could let you stay just for the night. As long as you keep your sword to yourself. I like my head on my shoulders." She waves for him to follow as she turns to head toward the cave opening, her wings folding over her back as she walks. "As for going after another dragon alone. I guess, I could always help you out. After all, there are bound to be feral dragons around. I don't consider them my.. people... or anything. Not the feral ones. They don't even get along with each other anyway."
 
He smiles softly. "Thank you. I appreciate it. And.. I'll make sure to keep your head on." He followed her and listened as they headed towards the cave. "Hrmm. Yes, I think your help would actually be very... well, to put it frankly, helpful. Thank you." Noah walked with her into the cave, not really expecting anything fancy. Alright... I have to wait until she is sleeping.
 
The cave was indeed nothing too fancy. There were a few old tapestries hung along the rocky walls, and a carpet on he rocky floor of the cave. In a corner there was a bed of leaves with some old cloth laid over it. This was her home, simple and plain, but it suited her well enough. She moves over and sits herself down on the old, dirty, tattered carpet, probably picked up from some traveling merchant's cart. "Have a seat if you like." She looks over to a pile of sticks surrounded by a circle of stones and takes a breath before blowing a little stream of fire to it to light it up.
 
Noah sat beside her. "Thank you for the hospitality. I think it will be fairly chilly tonight. On fact, it probably isn't a good idea to keep on METAL armor." He ringed his cuirass and grieves quickly, following his gauntlets. He set them all aside, leaving him in a pitch-black dyed leather outfit. Long sleeve, no less. He had a cowl as well, but didnt pull it over his head. Noah relaxed a little and smiled to himself. Good... now, just wait for the right moment...

"So, what do you usually do on a cold, dark night like this?" He paused for a moment. "Doesn't it ever get... lonely out here?"
 
Selia watches as he pulls off the pieces of armor curiously. When he's finished, she simply watches him. She's really never had a guest before, it was rather strange for her. She tilts her head some at the questions. "Well.. I sit near a fire if it's cold. Lonely?" She thinks about that. "I... guess so. Sometimes I don't know what to do, sometimes I just sleep, sometimes I go out and hunt, or just fly around and wander... People rarely come out this far."
 
Noah couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her, shrugging. "Yeah.... not many people want to be caught in the wrath of some vicious dragon, eh?" He gave a soft smirk, reaching over to his armor for his pack. He began rummaging through it randomly,
until she wasn't looking...
He paused. He didn't want to have to do this... "Hey, listen. I think... I have an idea. If you came back with me... it would prove I'm not a chicken. We could pretend I caught you, which would be much harder than just killing you."
 
Selia giggles softly and shrugs. "It's okay though, I kind of like the quiet. Humans are usually afraid of those not like them anyway." She lays back some on the carpet and stretches out, risking giving a peek under her tattered cloth strips she used as clothing. She looks up at him curiously. "Well, maybe. It could work I guess but... wouldn't they just want to kill me then anyway?" She rolls onto her side as she looks at him.
 
Noah watched her, uninterested in getting any risqué peaks at her for the moment. "Maybe not. If I kept you in my sight at all times, I could protect you. I could... make something up. Give them some reason for me keeping you. ...as a pet?" He shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is, it's either that; or when I return, they send someone back here who will kill you."
 
Selia sits up a bit now as she hears him say 'pet', blinking at him, a bit confused. "Keep me... as a pet? Aren't pets animals, that humans own?" She frowns a bit at the idea. "I don't know if I like that. I wouldn't be free anymore. But, I don't want anyone coming to kill me either." She sighs a bit. "Well, maybe if the people see I'm not a REAL dragon, they'll be okay? If I talk to them and show them I'm not that different..."
 
Noah looked over at her, smiling a bit. "Sure. We can try it, see if anyone actually... accepts that. If not, I'll be there to protect you." He looked back into the small fire for a moment before looking back over at her. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this. I guess your probably pretty mad at me, huh?"
 
Selia lays back and shakes her head a bit with a yawn. "No.. If the people fear a dragon here, they would have sent someone anyway. It's not your fault. Tomorrow we can try and convince them everything is okay." She curls up on the floor a bit, her tail twitching lightly. She was getting ready to fall asleep as the sun was almost finished setting outside.
 
Noah looked outside, then back at her. It's sad, really... theyd never accept her. I guess I'll have to wait, and be ready. She's going to be my pet, whether she likes it or not. ...or whether I like it or not. He sighed softly. "Yeah. I'm going to get some sleep." He pulled his cowl over his head, hiding his face. "G'night." He laid down on his back, next to the fire.
<-Morning->
"Hey. C'mon, we've got to get moving."
Noah already had what armor he had back on, his pack, well, packed; and his sword across his back. "You awake?"
After letting her prepare, he left the cave once again with her, walking in the direction he had come. "This will prove interesting. I don't know how anyone will react... uhm... Oh! How rude of me. I am Noah. And you are..?"
 
Selia wakes with a yawn and a long stretch out. It always felt good to stretch in the morning, wake the muscles. She really has nothing in particular to take with her, other than a gold necklace with a pendant attached to it, so as soon as Noah is ready to go, she is as well. She walks casually behind him as they start out, her arms folded behind her back. She looks to him as he officially introduces himself and smiles. "Oh, I forget humans like exchanging names. I was named Selia by my mother, so you can call me that." She looks around as they move through the forest, hearing the sounds of the waterfall and stream near her cave fade the farther away they get. "So, how far is this place we're going?"
 
"Not too far. Maybe a day's travel at worst."
He rummaged through his pack, reaching over his shoulder. He excavated a brown cloak from it with a hood, handing it to her. "Here, Selia. When we arrive, wear this until you need to speak. I don't want you alarming anyone until then, okay?" He nodded softly to himself. Simple enough... right?
(sorry for all the timeskips~ not much for them to do while walking :p )
Now that it was nearing sunset, they had finally passed through the gates and into the city. Noah ushered the cloaked dragon girl towards the dragonslaying guildhouse, where he rested a hand on her shoulder, whispering, "Good luck. I'll be right at your side," before looking around. Pretty much everyone was looking up at him, a few curious murmurs passing around as to who the cloaked figure was.
