Squid Ass is not worth upsetting our first potential boyfriend.

Let's avoid listening to the creepy voice, mmkay?

Vast majority is not complete immunity! And I think this is one of those edge cages.

WE'RE A DRAGON WE DO WHAT WE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT
Quite right; we came here because we want to spend time with Jun-ho (and giggle as he coos over our newest boyfriend). The local admirers can get in line. :mad:



Besides, we probably need a key located nearby in order to enter the shrine anyways.

You're no archaeologist, you're just here to pick up guys.
eldingar
"Hm?"

"What?" Jun-ho takes a few steps forward, stopping by your side. "What is it?"

"Didn't you hear that?" you ask.

"Hear what?"
prince eldingar
"There it is again!" You snap your head around, looking him in the eye. "Do you really not hear that?"

"I don't... know what you're talking about," Jun-ho replies, brow furrowing as he stares into your eyes. "Um. That bad feeling I was getting up there? It's getting a lot worse right now."

"What did I tell you about our being dragons Jun-ho?" you snap, rather more forcefully than you meant to.
sire... king...
"I just don't think barrelling into things just because we think we're invincible is really the best idea," he says, his tone growing more worried by the word. He breaks eye contact, his gaze flitting nervously around the room. Honestly it's really starting to grate on you how skittish and... and un-dragony he can be. Is that part of why Mother threw him at you?

"Let's at least go check out that way?" he suggests, indicating over his shoulder with his thumb. "Plenty of rooms over there, we can go shout for whoever the map was pointing to here. Maybe there's gold, too! You like gold, right?"
son of aži
"There's a shrine right there," you say irritably, jabbing your talon the other way along the causeway. "I just want to make sure I cover all the- what's the matter with you anyway?" you ask, dropping your arm all of a sudden. "Are all dragons this skittish where you come from? Even the vast majority of magic has difficulty affecting us! The two of us together? We could burn down a city if we wanted to, and no one would be able to stop us!"

"... yeah but... we wouldn't want to," he says haltingly. You grimace, rubbing your forehead.

"That's not the point, Jun-ho. The point is that there is nothing, absolutely nothing in this world or Beyond, that could be any realistic threat to us. So I ask you again, why all the hesitance?"

"I don't know!" he exclaims. "I don't- I don't know okay! I'm sorry, I know I'm annoying and I know this isn't what you had in mind when you brought me but I just- I don't feel right here!"
let us praise you
"And... I'm worried about you," he adds haltingly.
So about weird voices... :V

EDIT: Actually, about that 'Son of Azi' thing.

I give the following two options about roughly equal chances of being correct:
1) It's a metaphor. All dragons are sons and daughters of Azi.
2) Our mom fucked an evil god and we're even more of a disappointment than we thought.​

So... Who wants to place their bets? I'm going with option 2; More drama potential, and our mom is *totally* the type to go for Dragon Satan.

Maybe we should listen to him

You double-take. What's gotten into him? Whatever tentative hopes you had that the day could be salvaged with a spot of adventuring are curdling in your gut, turning sour and toxic as mud. Your lips curl into a grimace, a grunt of annoyance escaping you as you half-turn away, glaring at nothing. You just got done having your life dictated to you for the hundredth time, you'd think the least Jun-ho could do is be supportive! Mgh.
Hey come on, he's just trying to look out for your well-being.

You don't have to take this. You don't have to take anything. Isn't that what being a dragon is all about?
Alright then, post-Tyr's Vault/pre-Helheim Atreus.

OH MY GOD THIS IS JUST LIKE WHEN YOU ALL KEPT VOTING TO CLEAN OUR ROOM
I don't want the quest to end badly. Is that so wrong?

Does anyone have a plugin or something for invisitext and other hidden text? I don't want to highlight every single story I read because [INFORMATION REDACTED SO AS NOT TO INSULT LOVELY QUEST GIVER].

It's neither; the mysterious invisitext voice is promoting Eldingar to a higher social station with every line in an attempt to charm him with bullshit.
 
Hrm.

Okay, this is a rather lovecraftian cave.

And with this invisitext of foreboding, uh...

As much as I want it to be true for Eldingar's self-esteem, I also am worried, as there where, and are to a degree, cultures that have worship mean the exact same things as kill, eat, and/or sacrifice in a painful way.

Just think about the cultures that worship the whales or animals they hunt, thanking them and asking for them to be reborn so they can hunt that animal again.

"Mhm! You?" He glances at you.

"Of course!" You tap your temple knowingly with one massive talon. "Natural compass. Never lost my bearings in my life."

"Mhm! Just like a pigeon!" Jun-ho agrees enthusiastically.

"... n-no not- not like a pigeon!" you splutter. "I have not and will never again be compared to a mere pigeon! We are dragons!"

"So how's it different?" he asks.

The wind whistles across the great leathery sails of your outstretched wings as you furiously ponder the question.

"I-it's magic!" you say at last. "That's it. Magic. Dragons are magic so the head compass is magic too!"

"Oooooooh." Jun-ho's gaze drifts forward, peering through the low-hanging cloud cover and towards your quarry. "So pigeons are magic too."

"NO-"
See, the good thing about Abzu being gender neutral is that I can safely declare Jun-ho to be best boy.
 
[X] Go to the shrine and inspect what it has to offer. You're not afraid of some old ruin just because it's dark. [x2]

"Belial this is weird what do I do?"
"Eldingar you like this guy right."
"Yeah Belial but."
"He wants your hot dragon body."
"Yeah but Belial."
"But what?"
"Innumerable pseudopods."
"...Innumerable penii"
