Escope flew down, spying the oasis. "Finally, some water. We've been going so long without anything to drink."

Hindra nodded, "Yeah, it has been a long time."

Escope landed and helped Hindra down, then took a long drink from the oasis. "That hits the spot."

Hindra cupped his hands, and dipped his hands in the water, then drank from it, "It's really clean water." He splashed his face a few times.

Escope nodded. "Maybe we should wait here until nightfall and continue on then."

Hindra nodded, "Okay."

Escope turned to her human form. "We've been flying for so long. It's not good for either of us."

Hindra nodded, "Yeah."

Escope stretched her wings, then folded them in to relax them. She could only go so long before she needed rest.

Hindra yawned a bit, then sat down, hard, a cloud of dust covering him after he collided with the ground.

Escope chuckled a bit and sat down beside him. Secretly, she had very strong feelings for him, but she wanted him to come to like her on his own before she told him.

Hindra coughed, "I don't like dust."

Escope returned to normal size and cleaned him with one big lick, then turned back to human form. "That better?"

Hindra nodded, "Thanks." He grinned a toothy grin.

Escope grinned, hoping that this would finally be when he figured out her feelings for him.

Hindra smiled, "We've been together a long time, Escope."

"Yeah. Ever since you came wandering into my cave when you were 5. Trembling, lonely, cold. I couldn't stand to turn you away or hurt you."

Post by Zappy on Jul 7, 2009 14:59:04 GMT -5
"Yeah, thanks for taking me in."

"It's no problem. Actually I was more than happy to do it."

Hindra smiled.

Escope slid closer to Hindra. Oh, how bad her desire was to grab him right there and kiss him, but she had to keep control over herself. She didn't want to give it away until he figured it out on his own.

Hindra smiled, "It was nice to get out here with you."

"Likewise. My whole world's opened up since I met you."

Hindra smiled, happy that his life had so positively impacted another's.

"Hindra, have you ever wondered what it would be like if we decided to get married? I mean, we've been together 25 years already."

Hindra blinked, and tilted his head as he thought about it for a moment, "I think it'd be nice." He replied, with a smiled.

"You mean you'd be happy being married to a dragon?"

Hindra nodded, "Sure would."

"Well, this dragon has been wanting to kiss you for nearly 20 years now," she said, gently putting her hands around his head, moving her face close to his. "I've longed for this for decades now, and I'm finally going to have it." She closed her eyes and pressed her lips to his.

Hindra was surprised, so he instinctively stiffened, but then loosened up wrapping his arm around her.
