No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap. )
So here he was, wandering down around the hot springs. He was ignoring the rain that dripped down his neck; it was unimportant. Pondering recent events, the lack of sleep and the encouragement to revolution, among others, he almost didn't notice the contrast of Above's body against the greenery. Not that he knew it was she. He hadn't seen too many animals here besides the irritating sheep, which had at least taken a hike for the moment.
He couldn't quite tell what she was from a distance, so quietly he stepped closer, giving in to curiosity. Of course, closer, he still really wasn't quite sure. Some kind of large reptile? Very large.
"Wow," he said quietly.

Maybe if she didn't acknowledge whoever this was, they'd let her alone.

Feeling a bit silly, he said, "Hello?"
He'd never seen something like this before. Maybe she was sentient. Maybe not. But he figured it might be important to know before he got too close.

She picked her head up, neck drawing in an arc before her head actually lifted. Holding it straight up put her eye level at around six feet up. Which, she saw, hadn't really been necessary here; this boy was smaller than that. But it right now it seemed like too much effort to angle down.
< Yes, did you want something? > she asked.

"Uh, sorry. I didn't... I've never... Are you a dinosaur?"
Good first impressions were definitely not one of Clow's marketable skills.

< Pterosaur. Different thing, same parts of prehistory. > She felt a flicker of embarrassment which she was pretty sure was not hers and, irritated, clicked her beak. < And yes, I talk. In other news, water is wet and the Sphere is insane. >

She adjusted her wings, pulling them a little closer to her body. < And it's nice here. >
