[ Reaching out, he pokes him in the chest with a finger, his other arm resting across the tops of his knees. Like this, his tail and his slightly raised wings keep his balance. ]
[ Well, it seems to be getting his point across. Also it's been a while since he last interacted with someone else - what's the concept of personal space? ]
You should probably see to one of your human healers first, though.
[ Considering there's stories about dragons eating people, and people slaying dragons, they've got a pretty good rapport going on so far. Shouto can't complain.
He will make a bit of a face at that, though. ]
I could take you to a village, now that you're awake and I won't cause a panic bringing you in injured and unconscious.
[ Taking sheep is one thing, even when he's paid for them with money stolen from his father's treasury. An unconscious human, injured through unknown means, being carried by a dragon? Yeah.
Shouto steps out of the cave, glancing around to make sure there's nothing that could attack them. ]
Sure. I know the keep isn't too far away from here, but you'll have to ride on my back to get there.
That'd probably be for the best. [ Tail swishing behind him, Shouto taps into the thread of otherness that makes him what he is, the same thing he used to take this human form. ] Though I'll have to try and get rid of the rest of this...
[ Troublesome. He shifts in steam and smoke and magic before he answers again, towering. ]
The sword chose you, if you found it. I'm sure you must be good at something.

Oh... yeah. They'll probably get infected if I don't do something about them.

Um. I think there's one a few kilometers west of here, I could probably make it.
[And probably get attacked by bandits.]
no subject
I wouldn't offer if it was a problem. It's just that you being unconscious and carried around by a dragon probably wouldn't be taken that well.
[ He shifts up to his feet proper, wobbling as he adjusts his tail and wings. ]

[He'll get up when Shouto does, using the sword as a kind of makeshift crutch for now.]
Thank you, Todoroki-kun.

I think maybe... if you went around to the edge of a village and then turned into your human form? We might both be able to walk around in there.
I'd like to help you on your quest too, Todoroki-kun. I mean... if you'd have me. I know I'm not much...
