Sleeping dragon? Not so much.

Who: Skyfire and whoever happens to find him.
What: He's sleeping outside while waiting for permission to set up a home, because he doesn't want to be a burden on the locals.
When: A couple of days after arrival, any time between the early evening and early morning.
Where: Random spots around the edge of town and the local forest areas.


It wouldn't kill him to sleep outside for a while, at least that's what Skyfire kept telling himself. During the day between the sun and walking around, he could ignore the cold, but he was finding that at night it was a different story.

Even though it wouldn't kill him, it didn't mean that it was a pleasant experience. Finding a place out if the wind wasn't too hard, but he was still feeling rather chilled. Being organic was really different from being his 'normal' self, he'd never realized just how sensitive organics were to different temperatures.

Being curled up with his wings covering as much as himself as he could manage made things somewhat better. Princess Celestia had been kind enough to agree to help find him somewhere he wouldn't be an inconvenience to the locals, so he thought he could handle being cold for a while... Still, he'd welcome a distraction as sleep was going to be rather difficult.

"It's already been some time. I'm sure everypony's relaxed by now." said Megumin with an imperiously arched eyebrow.

It had been a long, agonizing week waiting for that abandoned castle to be located. But thanks to her patience being rewarded, Megumin had a long-standing target now.

Skyfire just shakes his head a little. "Perhaps if she invites me, I will try... but I do not wish to cause a disturbance by showing up unannounced." He already kind of felt bad that he'd had to push Megumin off on her.

Even so he was still massive, and quite unsure of what kind of damage he may cause to the place in his sleep if he moved... Though he was rather relieved that Megumin didn't appear to be angry and seemed to at least be trying to control herself when it came to explosions.

"This whole thing is one big disturbance, I doubt anything else will rustle it," said Megumin in a dry, deadpan tone.

"Stop being so stubborn."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

He's just going to sigh and rub a paw over his snout. Megumin really needed to learn some manners and how to be respectful of others...

"It would be rude and disrespectful to just show up as well..." Since it didn't look like she was going to drop this, he figured he could make a small concession. "If it makes you feel better, I'll ask her tomorrow if I can stay for a few days..." He still doubted that he'd fit without annoying the others staying there, but at least asking might make Megumin happy.

Fat chance of that happening.

"Didn't you hear? They invited people to stay there, so you wouldn't be a bother." Said Megumin.

She got a fiendish grin on her face. "Or I could just light you on fire to warm you up."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"Still, it's only polite to ask first. I have better manners than to show up unannounced."
Well, he's trying to get her to understand basic manners... though he thinks it's going in one ear and out the other.

"Oh? Light me on fire huh?" He grins "Does that mean you've learned something besides explosion?" Because all that 'explosion' had done was cover him in soot and knocked him on his rear... Not what one would really consider being 'lit on fire'.

"Eh."

At that, she held up a box of matches. "No need. I still am only dedicated to Explosion."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Skyfire tilts his head and looks at the tiny box.

"You think that will light me on fire?" Yeah, he's skeptical... and according to the book he's been reading, mostly fireproof too.

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Who knows."

Flick scritch FFFFFST went the match.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"Hmmm..."

A soft huff of breath... and out the match goes...
