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 wasn't a bed so much as a depression in the ground of the natural plant material... Really, all he'd done was hunker down out of the way and out of the wind behind some trees. He'd find somewhere to stay eventually.

"I'm alright..." Well, that could be up for debate but Skyfire wasn't going to complain. He thought he could deal with a few cold nights. "How about you?"

"I'm settling. But...Skyfire, isn't there a cave for you somewhere?" He frowned and scanned the surrounding landscape. "We always kept warm in one before. With just the right size and a small fire."

"Sadly not..." He shifts around a few blankets and makes a mental note to find some thread to sew them together. "I have yet to find anything large enough, and I do not wish to just take over an area without permission either. I did happen to speak with Princess Celestia and she did say she would try to assist with finding me a place to stay..." Skyfire really didn't want to make a pest of himself after all.

Billy's face is still twisted in thought. There had to be a better way. "My spellwork is rusty, unfortunately, and heating the air in an open space would take too much power. But I could keep you company?"

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"I'm fine like this for a bit, really... but I wouldn't turn down some company."

He smiles at Billy, glad to spend a bit more time with him. Shifting himself around a bit, Skyfire curls up his tail and tosses a blanket over it so Billy could settle on it instead of sitting on the ground or having to keep standing.

Billy settles there gratefully, smiling up at him. "My magic's fairly weak at the moment, and more suited to putting gears together...but I'm sure there's something I can do. I just might...need some more time to think," he yawned, curling against Sky's tail like an old friend.
