[ Yan Qing is laughing it off now, but if Sen looks closely... he is blushing. Good job, you tamed the ruffian. The baby dragon nods and makes another sound, as if to answer Sen. It's just a kid, okay? It just wants to be spoiled. ]
Do you? I guess modesty is another thing, but then you already know?
[She might be teasing, just a little, because she say that. He seems to be saying it also because he's touched! It's endearing! And just like how baby dragon is all charmed by him! Cuties all around! Why is everyone adorable?
Anyway, before that. She pats the baby dragon before they get ready to move.]
Three!
[And HUFFS. It's a good thing these two are unusually strong, right, dragonkun?]
[ He already knows, which is the worst part about it! But it still kills him when other people say it. He is a cutie! Praise him more!! Tell him he's strong!!!
Because when two strong entities pull the dragon's wing off the sharp crystal, he lets out a loud screech that pierces the afternoon silence. Even Yan Qing has to cover his ears. But what happens after that is unexpected.
The first thing the dragon does with his freedom is to give Viet an affectionate nudge of gratitude, trying to rub his head against her cheek. ]
[Yan Qing! Have some modesty! Then again, this is a man who flaunts his tits to the world, so of course he would know. But she will give him the truth when he deserves it. And he looks endearing when he responded, like the tiniest bit of a man humbled by a compliment. Hmmm...
On the other hand, she withstands the earpiercing scream, gritting her teeth, only so that her hands doesn't let go to ensure that the dragon gets all the support he gets.
She really should've had her hands available for catching a dragon as she nearly tumbles from the affection.]
O-oh! I did not expect this! [She keeps patting the dragon now, brushing along his spines and under his chin.] There there, little [LITTLE?!] one...you are a good dragon now, no? It is all thanks to this wonderful gentleman too, he suggested we come help! [She tries to direct the tsundere dragon to the ASS(assin).] We should praise him too, no?
... [A pause.] Fine, I will allow one group hug. [LAST MINUTE TSUNNING?]
[ Now, he's the type who usually asks for group hugs. Not often is he the guy welcome in one. When Sen gives him permission, he seizes the opportunity with a grin. Smooth sloping crystal lets him slide down in a flash, and he runs to both Sen and the baby dragon to gather them to his tatted tits in his arms. ]
Wahahahaha, I love you guys!
[ He doesn't even go here. He just has a lot of emotions. ]
[Can't believe Yan Qing literally quoted Mean Girls in his heart. Except she probably can, and really happy Hero and happy dragon, so she does end up giving them all a big hug! Except for the part where his tits nearly poked an eye out.
But now they can get to the important part.]
Oh! Here we go.
[She stops hugging them and takes out her handkerchief and holds it up.]
[ She doesn't even need to ask. He takes the handkerchief and begins cleaning the wound, hushing the dragon when it gets restless. ]
Don't move, don't move... [ As he works, he starts humming a soothing lullaby from his time. Soon, the dragon relaxes, and rests by Vietnam's feet. How cute. It almost makes him want to take it home, but he knows he can't. ] Now don't be reckless. Your mama's out there looking for you, you know.
[The dragon seems to... purr? in response. He hears another cry in the distance—the dragon's mother? That means their job here is done.]
Haha, sounds like his mom's looking for him, too! Ain't that nice? [It's almost as if he... wasn't counting on it.] We can't stay long but it was nice meeting ya, buddy. Be good and listen to your mama, okay?
[They will hear high-pitched dragon cries of goodbye. Goodbye! He doesn't look back. It's best for him to leave the sweeter goodbyes to Vietnam, he thinks. Getting attached isn't his style.
That dragon's mother really went looking for its kid. He almost couldn't believe it.]
[But she knows he's already soft when it comes to the dragon baby, so she's sure that the dragon understands. After all, he tended it to it so dearly.]
All the time. I wasn't exactly a good child. And...I guess I wasn't like the other children. [Coming into being, she was alone.] From what I can remember of the earliest point of my childhood, I was alone. What about you?
Hmm... That's the first thing I remember, so I'm pretty much the same!
[ His childhood is hazy. Nothing was truly written about it, after all, but sometimes he remembers patches, a flashback to a blurry moment that's bound to have happened all those years ago. Because if it didn't happen, then who else would he be? ]
But you had someone come looking for you eventually, right?
[Except he's a human so that's worrying. Even if he said he was fictional because of the novel, but he lived a life as a human and that is real. He's real too, being here.
Some wouldn't consider her real anyway since the world is a strange place.]
Yes. Eventually, my brother took me in. And some humans who looked out for me as I grew. I worked early. What about yourself? [She doesn't know much about how he grew up anyway.]

Also, Yan Qing, stop trying to adopt the dragon baby by writing off his mama.]
Yes, we'll have to go now! You can tell your mother all about your adventures today! Goodbye, little one!
