Iignil landed nearby. "Alright, now we just have to find the right building." Natsu hopped off his back, "It's simple." He began pointing at buildings; "Eeny meeny miny moe... Catch a dragon by the toe... If he roars, let him go... My flames will pick the best one and you're it!" His finger finished, pointing instead to the League office. "Natsu, it's not that simple..." Iignil said. Natsu wasn't listening, "Let's go!" He dashed off toward the office.
---
Inside, Natsu walked up to the counter.

Yasalya, a Gardevoir, looked up from a computer. "Is there some business you have with Mr. Lobo?"

"Hobo? Who're you calling a hobo?" Natsu glared at the Gardevoir.
Outside, Iignil shook his head. "Oh dear. I hope he doesn't cause any trouble..."

"I'm not calling you a hobo. I said Lobo, as in the Spanish word for wolf. He's the mayor and founder of this city. His name is Dajiro Lobo and I'm Yasalya Lobo, his wife. Is there some business you have with him?"

"Oh..." Natsu said, as he seemed to be thinking. "Guess that makes him pretty powerful, huh?"

She nodded. "He can easily turn anybody out of the city."

"What if you're not in the city?" Natsu commented, randomly. "Pretty weak magic if you ask me."

"The spells around this city don't discriminate. If you seek shelter, they allow you in, good or evil." "And don't you dare insult the magic protecting this city." Mr. Lobo walked out of his office. His normally calm, caring tone was hard as ice. "My first wife gave her life to protect this land."

(I think you somehow misunderstood... See, natsu was commenting randomly on the idea of magic designed to work within the city. So he said it seemed weak because, in that case, the magic that works within the city wouldn't be able to effect someone outside.)
Natsu looked at Mr. Lobo. "Then you must be the hobo...?"

[Oh. Okay. It was almost ten here and my brain was tired]
He cleared his throat and pulled at his suit's collar. "I am no hobo. My name is Lobo."

"Oh! A hobo named Lobo!" Natsu said, "Who's in charge here?"
|
|
|
Post by Kiki on Mar 2, 2010 12:45:20 GMT -5
Mr. Lobo cleared his throat again and looked at Natsu. "I am no hobo. I am Dajiro Lobo, founder and mayor of this city. I created this city from nothing with my own hands."

Natsu looked closely at Lobo, as though he was trying to determine something. "Wow, it's sure hidden well... Can you shoot lasers from your eyes? Jump from tall buildings without harm? Ooh, I know, you lift large amounts of weight without strain?"
(Hobo -> Robo)

Mr. Lobo shook his head. "I am not a robot. My name starts with an 'l' as in Loudred. But I am not a Loudred either. My first name is Dajiro."

Natsu seemed to get it now. "Oh. Then who's in charge?"
|
|
|
Post by Kiki on Mar 2, 2010 17:53:10 GMT -5
"I am," he said again.

"Oh, well why didn't you just say so?" Natsu commented.

Yasalya facepalmed and Mr. Lobo just shook his head. "I said several minutes ago I am the mayor and founder of this city. I created it from nothing with my own hands."

Natsu hadn't been listening. "I'm going to need a large place where I can gather a bunch of people." He said, almost as soon as Mr. Lobo had finished talking.

Mr. Lobo adjusted his glasses. "You need to learn respect before you get anything."

"Respect? What's that?" Natsu said, his face clueless.
|

Post by Kiki on Mar 2, 2010 19:14:24 GMT -5
"Respect is showing caring and to regard somebody with a high status. Young man, you will not get anywhere in this city if you don't learn some."

"Oh, I care plenty." Natsu said, "I take down bandits and criminals for minimal pay." He grinned, "But it's okay, because Iignil's with me. It's always more fun to work with friends."

"Not like that. To care for people in a personal manner, not just a business one. To be humble and willing to do anything for them without question. Not to do for personal gain, but to do for their happiness."

"Hm." Natsu thought long and hard. "Having respect is hard..." He finally said.
|
|
|
Post by Kiki on Mar 2, 2010 19:56:02 GMT -5
"To have respect is to be human."
|
|

Post by Blade on Mar 2, 2010 22:47:58 GMT -5
Natsu blinked. "I'm not human. I'm dragon."

"It's but an expression. Even Pokemon have respect for each other. The Dragons I know also have respect for each other. IN fact, their whole society is based upon it."

"A society of dragons?" Natsu said, "That sounds so cool! I wanna go!" His excitement drew out small flames that danced around him. "But respect... Hmm..." The flames went white, and instead of dancing, hung limply as he looked dejected. "It's impossible..."

"I can teach you respect if you want." A girl that looked about 18 with silver-white hair walked into the room. "Ah, Sayaka-iruz." THe pair exchanged kisses on the cheeks. "Dajiro-katzu. Donar erut sonit ethun?" She smiled and he nodded. She then blinked and looked at Natsu. "Hm? Strange aura on that one." "Natsu, this is Uruia Sayaka. She's one of the city's resident Dragons."
