Warily entering the Nexus just long enough for Naoko to lead him over to the dimensional locator, he dropped in a scale and got the coordinates. The girl wanted to be the one to input them, but he'd do it himself.. Can't let the vassals do everything, right

Going a little bit further, nearer to his own clutch's teaching chamber, he tries rationalizing, figuring what could be wrong with his sense of recognition, "Just wanting it to be more righ- Dear BAHAMUT!Older!Zhil is going to be so embarrassed about that one ( ... )

She's cleaning it? OWOWOWOWOWgood to get those stoOW!OW!OWnes out of there, at least.
"Oh? What wi-nrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!" You know what that sound is? That's the sound of cold water meeting hot dragon, and yes, it certainly DID sting. On the plus side, the suddenly-boiling water must've gotten out whatever germs were left while turning to that cloud of steam, right? That's what boiled water does!
Good thing you had that scarf touching in him and not your fingers, Naoko.

She waited till his wound had stopped steaming and looked up at him. "I'd forgotten about the cold water... Forgive me, dearest one," she did sound sorry, but her senses were a bit more alert. Something was hiding far below where they were, and they had stirred... although not enough to know that she and Zhilar were high above them.

"Shall we continue?" It looks like a narrow, twisty road comes down from the ledge.. but while it may be slower, it's still a lot better than flying with a messed-up wing!
Reply
She looked at the narrow road; it was more than wide enough for a human, but it was very narrow for a dragon; the width suggested that perhaps it had been carved out for humans, as three could walk it abreast and not fall off it, but she wondered if there were humans in this place.
After five minutes, they began the descent down, with her leading the way.

Still, he was glad that they were over a cliff instead of somewhere that was steep on BOTH sides, as they gradually wend closer to that ominous presence...

"Are ye alright?" she asked him as they descended, hoping to break the silence.

"How about yourself?" Oddly enough, at this point she's unquestionably better at sensing things than he is. The babe has no idea anything's up ahead! OW. Wing. Don't show nothin'!

A whip appeared by her waist, materialising over a few minutes. The armbands she wore got more shiny and gleamed. Her eyes had flecks of gold, yet one would not be able to notice it unless they were looking for it.
Sukina would have known immediately that her sister was preparing for battle, and not even berserkers would stand against her.

"Are you catching that?" Yay, ambiguity!

"Yes... something this way stinks," she grinned.

It was a cockroach.
Okay, a bright red DEMON cockroach, about the size of a weiner dog, but still!
"Fear me, fear me! Ohshit." It seemed the roach just noticed the dragon behind her.. Who then snatched out with one paw and grabbed it, ebony claws pricking lightly in five very vulnerable spots.
Apparently, Zhilbar wants to know something. "...What ARE you?"
Hopefully, Naoko's questions will be more useful.

"What's your name?" getting up close and personal with prisoners always unnerved them.

"I am the demon roach that brings terror and chaos in his wake! You better tell your pet not to mess with me, Missy; I KNOW people! All the way up to Darastrivaeralar herself- OWOWOW QUIT IT!" Mmmyep, you guessed it; Zhilbar didn't like that 'pet' crack.
"..Who?"

Which in a normal human, might have resulted in their head spinning off their body. In this cockroach though, it twisted his head about 3/4 of the way, which made him look like a cockroach that had its head nearly twisted off. It could still talk though. In her anger, Naoko had retained enough sense to not kill the roach outright.
"He's. Not. My. Pet." Each word was delivered in a cold, precise tone.

"Fine, WHATEVER! Your baby-daddy, your B&D boss, your pack mule- Just make him STOP!" Uh-huh, more pain. Zhilbar's enjoying this a disturbin amount, by the way...
"You said a name. Who is it?"
"It's the big boss of these parts! Keep going this way, and you'll reach her cave- but unless you've got a death wish, stay the hell out! If you do, have fun dying horribly." Even in the throes of agony, the roach is still a dick.
