As much as he hated to really admit it, Jake was settling in aboard the ship. There was a strange sense of normalcy that followed him around - he was at war, he was trying to avoid getting people killed, he was thinking about strategies, thinking about the future - and that all seemed perfectly normal to him. He had slipped back into the patterns

There were often times when Celena wandered the living areas of the ship during the 'late' hours. She found it easier to think on the many topics that filled her mind after each day. As well as providing for the occasional interesting bit of information from those who chose to stroll about at night as well, for whatever particular purpose they saw fit.

It was such a night that saw her wander near silently into the art gallery, the fact that another occupied the gallery did not escape her attention as she wandered closer, not wishing to disturb them as they stopped before that peculiar inky statue. One that had quite interesting properties. Her sharp gaze being able to easily note just what it showed as the human stood before it. The faces and forms of a number of those in the scenes it showed drew recognition from her mind, Rachel, Marco and Cassie. The one before the statue she surmised was likely another of their group.

Even as she watched on, from the scenes, his posture and actions that he and likely his group as well had been through a good deal. Nevertheless as he turned, Celena stepped forward, dipping her head lightly, "Greetings,"

Jake started - he hadn't heard Celena, being far too absorbed in watching his own memories flicker in front of his eyes. That bothered him. He composed himself with a nod, "Hey."

Dragons weren't any stranger than Andalites, after all.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you come in."

Jake couldn't be entirely blamed for the lack of notice, after all Celena, despite her size and distinct looks could be quite hard to notice when she chose to be.

"It's fine, I'm sorry if I startled you," She replied with a dip of her head before going on, after all, if he was a part of the group Marco belonged to, he quite likely knew her by name if not form, "I don't believe we've met, I am Celena,"

[hadabrother]

"Celena...? You're that dragon Marco was talking about, right?"

Well, this was new. Oh, yeah. Manners.

"I'm Jake."

[curiousredsoul]

"Indeed, that is I, and you are one of the others Marco mentioned, correct?" She asked calmly with a smile down to him, her assumptions all but confirmed on that matter.

"A pleasure to meet you, Jake,"

[hadabrother]

"That'd be me, yeah," Jake laughed, "How much did Marco actually say about us? He mentioned you, but I didn't hear all that much."

[curiousredsoul]

"He didn't actually say much at all, only that there were others," Celena commented with some amusement, "I have already met two of the others however,"

[hadabrother]

"Well, I'm glad we could finally meet in person. I have to thank you for being willing to let Marco... ah... acquire you, I guess. We normally don't do that with other intelligent beings, so it actually means quite a bit when someone gives us permission."

[curiousredsoul]

"You are welcome, it is quite the interesting ability your group shares and I hope that acquiring my form will prove useful to those who have done so," She replied in turn, calmly but with a greater level of weight behind her words. After all, even so it was not a small thing to do.
