Whee! He's adventurous enough to try some stunts more daring than 'gentle banking turn' now.

Wheee! Sadde is of course always ready to catch him if he needs to be caught.

The wing pack is very good about safe flight.

Such a useful wing pack.

Now what will come first: Terel's biological needs like food and sleep or the mountain?

The mountain! Its aesthetic sense is a bit foreign to both of them, but it is clearly very aesthetic to someone. Lots of fantastic or improbable plants and creatures carved into the rock. Battle scenes. A smattering of landscapes of distant places carved into this landscape.

Foreign but still very pretty. And a single Fair Folk did this? Anyone knows who or why?

"Apparently, 'a dragon who doesn't like names' and 'because it was bored'."

"...I am forever baffled by the sorts of things immortal, incredibly powerful people choose to do with their time."

"Well to be fair, this dragon is not also a Fate. And dragons' magic mostly revolves around fire."

"Generation? Manipulation? Survival in? Need for?"

"Generation of, happier in."

"Interesting. And it... carved these things with fire?"

"Well, probably used its claws. Though, look, it's smoothed like glass there... So a combination of both. Huh, look at that snake thing... It's really detailed. Very pretty, in a brutal sort of way."

"Yeah. I guess I shouldn't judge people for not using their resources in the most altruistic possible way, I myself am not doing that all the time."

"Yeah, not much point to life if we did that."

"Oh, some point, but yeah, the problems we're going to solve won't get significantly worse at the scale of days."

"Yeah, but either way I feel like the vacation before going into invention and tech mode is good."

"Yeah it definitely is."

"So let's take a good long look at all the pretty carvings that are a silly use of someone else's time."

"Do let's!"

So they do. Terel finds the giant Kings set - pieces loose so a vampire or dragon could actually play - particularly amusing.

"Wanna play?"

"Well, you'll have to move my pieces for me..."

"Sure!"

So they play a round of Kings.
