14 - fury of the night - action

[forbiddenfriend]

[Along all the other miscellaneous spooky noises and mysterious happenings, there's the sound of soft scratches on the floor. You might move closer, or farther away, but either way, it stops. And then, in the darkness, just out of light's reach, there's a pair of bright yellow eyes. If you come closer, it goes away, before coming back in another spot. If you move away, it seems to follow you.

After some time, the eyes disappear, too, and there's a very eerie silence where it seems the thing haunting you must have left.

And then you turn around, and holy shit it's a dragon.

Actually, there's been a dragon here for the past seven months or so, but it looks like some people will have to find that out the hard way.]

[ Duke tilts his head to the side, and slowly shifts ever so slightly to try to match the circling movement. He doesn't go so far as to circle with the noise. and it takes a moment for the sounds of sniffing to register over claws and castle creaking. ]

...taking advantage of castle distractions?

[forbiddenfriend]

[The voice causes the snuffling to quiet, before there's a light croon of response as the nightfury steps forward, nuzzling his muzzle into the man's hand.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ A blank blink at the sniffing stopping and the croon. His fingers twitch slightly at the contact, before spreading and -

scales. This would be.... ]

Gaining interesting reactions?

[forbiddenfriend]

[The nightfury's snout pushes up a bit into the contact, and there's a rolling thrum in response.

Which means yes. Very interesting reactions.]

[radiantwingedone]

Hmm. [ A slight moving of his fingers, as if asking if it was all right to scratch at that snout. ]

A bit of fun, likely good in this current ... environment.

[forbiddenfriend]

[He moves the top of his muzzle right underneath those fingers, because scratching is always okay.

If he weren't preoccupied by the gesture, he may have tilted his head; still, the croon that comes out of him does sound a bit puzzled. The castle being dark was certainly a radical change from being eternally lit up, but he didn't feel like it was as big of a deal as all the others made it out to be.]
