The sky over the Milliways outdoors is blue and picturesque and scattered with fluffy clouds. There might be the occasional bird flying around, whether a patron or a forest animal. Also, you know, there's that big dragon gliding by.

Wait. Dragon?

Wait. What? appears to be the dragon's reaction too, at least if anyone around is good at reading draconic body language. It (she) soars in a great and wary circle, surveying the ground before landing warily by the lake.

She's huge, with green scales (properly brushed and polished, thank you) just beginning to go gray at the edges, and three horns (the third, stubbier than the others, in the middle of her forehead), and a quantity of extremely sharp teeth. "Now," she says to herself, "this is new."

(Meanwhile, whether or not anyone's noticed, the Milliways forest just got a little bigger.)

Gredya barks once, because she will certainly not hush on command, and takes a few stiff steps closer, sniffing hard.

[dragon_dealt]

Probably not intelligent, if it's not talking in response to that.

Anyway, Kazul stands still, looking down at the wolf, and lets herself be sniffed at.

If Gredya's hackles stay bristling and her muscles stay tight, Kazul will eventually say, "I'm not going to eat you." What a silly notion, just because she's a giant carnivore! Uh. "I prefer my food properly cooked, and if you can't talk you're not likely to be annoying enough to justify picking hair out of my teeth anyway."

Thank you for your diplomatic skills, Kazul.

[gredya]

She gets a narrow-eyed look from Gredya for that--but Gredya's sure as hell not going to change forms right now just for the sake of conversation. She circles partway around the beast, still stiff-legged, taking in the scales and the wings and the horns and the teeth.

[dragon_dealt]

All of these things are large and copious. (Well, the wings are just the usual two. And the horns are only three. But the scales and the teeth are copious!)

Kazul stands there and lets the twitchy wolf look her over. She's not worried about an attack from a wolf; she does keep some attention on Gredya, but mostly she goes back to looking over this entire Milliways thing.

Ugh. Who put a thing like this in the middle of the Enchanted Forest? It must have taken an enormous amount of power. Mendanbar isn't going to be happy at all. Kazul isn't very happy about it either, and the Enchanted Forest isn't even her kingdom.

At least it's probably not wizards. She hasn't sneezed once.

[gredya]

The twitchy wolf, having looked her over, melts back into the treeline--and then has a brief consultation with her children. Three of you-- go back to the pack's usual meeting place; two of you-- stay here and watch the dragon.

She, Gredya, will warn the population. Or at least her friends. Definitely her friends. But maybe also the population, depending on how she feels.

[dragon_dealt]

Okay! Bye, twitchy wolf.

Kazul has an entire Milliways to impatiently demand explanations of.
