Zane ambles into the cavern, hands thrust deep in his pockets. His pale hair is disheveled, and acid burns mark his outer garments. His sapphire eyes are slightly glazed over as he reminisces about the recent battle. His slow pace grinds to a halt, and Zane gazes absently into the distance, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

Lome paces easily behind his bond, glad to be inside, out of the raging blizzard. He shook himself lightly, dislodging the snow that had settled on his crimson coat, and a sudden surge of appreciation for the warmth of the cavern ran up his spine. His golden eyes skimmed the cavern, searching for the nearest open spot by the fireplace. It took him a while to locate a fire free of humans warming themselves, for it seemed that much of the Height's population had come to shelter in the Commons. | Hey, Zane, | The dragon called to his bond, startling the boy out of his reverie. | I'm going warm up by the fire. | The red projected an image of the fireplace to his bond, then moved off in that direction.

-Eh, what? Oh-uh- yeah, sure, whatever.- The boy answered distractedly, glancing up. He sighed softly as his dragon's bloodred tail vanish into the crowd. At loss for something to do, Zane glanced around the room. It's been a long time since I actually talked to anyone� He remembered with a pang the long hours he had spent with his friends before he came to Tundra Island. -I'm going to talk to someone, - He announced resolutely to Lome. The dragon opened one golden eye momentarily, and roused himself from his heat-induced drowsiness long enough to murmur sleepily, | Congratulations. |

Zane smiled fondly as he 'felt' his bond drift back into sleep. Zane's blue eyes skimmed over the crowd, suddenly apprehensive. He had to admit he hadn't been spending enough time with his own species ever since he Impressed Lome. Not that it was the dragon's fault, it was just�he missed his friends, from his old home. Sighing, he called his drifting mind back to the task at hand. He needed to make a friend.

Zane took a deep breath, ran one pale hand through his tousled blond hair, then glanced around for someone to approach. Nearby he saw a bonded pair, a boy of roughly the same age as Zane weeping on his blue's furred neck. His curiosity firmly caught, the boy wandered over, hands returned to pockets. He stood a few feet away for a moment, nervously chewing his lip, then approached.

"Er, hi," Zane stammered uncertainly, then blurted, "I'm Zane. What's the matter?" He winced, knowing how lame that must have sounded. Well, there was nothing he could do about it now.

((Er...yeah. Long. Heh. Zane needed something to do. I hope you don't mind. ))
