[Video & Action at Fayren]

[Katsuki looks as grumpy as ever. But today...he's on a mission! If he's going to run for Guardian, he needs to do stuff to stand out. However, that has nothing to do with his current plan, which he doesn't elaborate on while he packs his knapsack, only stating bluntly:]

I'm going to catch a dragon.

[No, he's doing this because dragons are fucking awesome and he ends the video. Cut to about six hours later. His device turns on with Katsuki screaming various expletives and words that involve murder while fighting what looks like a group of bandits in Fayren. It cuts out before the outcome can be determined and it's not until the next day he's heard from again. Well...his phone is heard from again. Something like scales can be seen moving as an unearthly roar seems to shake the earth--

No, that's just Katsuki screaming at the top of his lungs.]

DIE, YOU FUCKING PEBBLE-SCALED LIZARD!!!

[There's a deafening sound that could bring down a mountain. That's the dragon. Katsuki doesn't literally want the dragon to die. The creature is way too fucking cool to be wasted like that. Moving the camera to show the top of the dragon's head, the wings at the sides which happen to be flapping, and then back at the thrashing tail...until Katsuki's platform lurches beneath him and he stumbles, grabbing onto his device before he can drop it and catching himself while the pissed dragon starts to take flight.

Katsuki just screams in anger, living out the dream of many RPG fans.]

[If he comes out of this conscious, he'll probably buy her a lunch as a grumpy apology.]

Fuck yeah, let's see what you can do!!! Dragon...! [Running up, he rests between the dragon's shoulders, trying to get him to follow his commands.] Avoid her attacks, and use your fire to decrease visibility!

[Sorry. She's on lunch break, so she can't let this go on very long. She is also way too tired to fly the last few miles over. This is the worst day ever.

With a hand gesture, she guides the orbs to loop around them both and begin creating magic pink ribbons to tangle the dragon. Moreso, she's trying to gain control of it so that she can minimize its hurting itself and the environment later.

For Katsuki, though

One of those orbs is aimed straight for his face and another for his gut. Get off the dragon. It's not your toy.]

[Possibly fortunately for Satou, the dragon doesn't give a shit what Katsuki says. It's possible he even is aware of what's going on, so he actually ends up helping her because god can he just go back to his fire cave for at least this small human isn't as loud as the one on him.]

DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE--

[Well. Even if he had managed to stop one of the orbs, the other sends him flying gracefully down off the dragon, like a falling, explosive star.]

[The real victim in this situation.

Satou watches him fall like a heartless sadist.

With the dragon free, those ribbons gradually let up as she makes sure it isn't going to eat Katsuki. She has some faith that he can keep himself from dying in the fall, but she is keeping a close eye on him. Just in case.]

... Are we done here? Please.

[Satou!!!

How could you!

They were partners! The dragon looks like he really wants to eat Katsuki. Seriously, the next chance he gets and that insect is lunch. Slowing his fall down with his explosions, Katsuki lands on one of the thicker branches of a tree and...

Well. He's brooding.]

[She recognizes that for him to go down this easily, Katsuki has surely learned his lesson. He's a strong person and a real fight with him wouldn't be this easy.

So when she catches up, landed on the branch with him, she doesn't comment on her 'victory.' She flips the video feed off of her device and pockets it, put letting him see is no accident. If he's going to publicly apologize, it won't be because Satou pulled teeth: It'll be because he's sincere.]

So. Are you ready to be a Guardian?

[He'll let her think what she wants, but her words did reach him. Maybe not in the way she had hoped, but enough to catch him off guard and make him stop and think. He'll reflect on them later, likely never to admit anything, but...

He may change in how he acts. A bit.]

...Let's go, before we run into any other fucking idiots. [But then he looks at their surroundings. Their vast surroundings with no civilization in sight. Reluctantly:]

I can't go as fast as you.

[And she knows that she can't carry him the whole way. Not due to a lack of strength, but because of his pride.

So she takes her device out again and sends an apology to the police force.]

I can't believe I'm taking my first sick day for you.

[But she's not going to abandon him either. That dragon looked ready to eat him.

She hops down from the tree and to the ground, then looks up at him.]

Come on, then. We have a lot of traveling to do.

[He jumps down too, landing easily, but he glares to the side once he's on the ground.]

Don't waste your fucking sick days. I know the way back, go ahead.

[She really considers it, too. Her sick days are precious! Satou knows she has the capacity to actually get sick.

... But in the end, she shakes her head. She closes her eyes, breaths in, and then smiles. From 'Deputy and Detective!' to 'Friend!' with just a blink.]

It's not a waste. If I don't stay I'm going to be worried sick. I can't believe you walked all of the way out here just to wrestle a dragon! [She giggles.] Are you crazy, or brave?

[That snaps him out of it.] Don't fucking worry about me I'm not some fucking lost cat!!! [Back to normal Bakugo. He scoffs and goes to grab his knapsack, fishing through the pockets.] I like hiking. It's challenging and you don't have to listen to a bunch of shitty people whining. [He pulls out a granola bar.] Eat this. You used up a lot of energy to get here, I don't need you holding me back.

[And that granola bar is SNATCHED. The animal here is apparently Satou.]

Thank you! [No time to play 'timid polite girl' with him. She's hungry.]

Is hiking really that much fun? I never had any time for that sort of thing back home. [Already unwrapping her new lunch.] Fayren is really pretty... hm.

But if I'm really ruining the hike for you... I can trust you to make it home. I just don't want you to be eaten.

Drink this when you're done. [Pulls out some juice. It's the boxed kind.]

Hey, Pink Cheeks. I said shitty people. [AKA she's not shitty.] I don't give a fuck what you do. I'm not about to become dragon food.

I'm not? [She doubts it sincerely for a moment. The whole "Witch of Sins" thing is beat into her pretty hard, despite her big smiles.

Gladly, she accepts the orange juice regardless. It reminds her of being a kid and makes her wonder briefly if her parents ever went hiking with her...

And then he reminds her of something more important. Satou takes out a Pokeball and tosses it up.]

You know, if you wanted to ride a dragon, [Her Aerodactyl soars out of the Pokeball and, initially, begins climbing the sky. It probably feels good to be able to fly so freely. Then she returns and lands in front of them.] Shooey is a dragon~!

No. [Why is she questioning that...? She's a strong person, and she clearly acted like one.

He watches her throw the ball, wondering if it's some kind of bomb-- Nope, it's

What the fuck is that?

What the fuck--

He stares, his angry expression melting in awe.]

You have a dragon.

[She's happy to change the subject. Revealing the skeletons in her closet won't make anyone feel any better.

But a cool rock dragon will!]

You could say that. I think it's more like "Shooey has me~!"

[Shooey-- the poorly names Aerodactyl-- looks between the two before taking off again. She will fly circles around them until she's called down again.]

I guess I've been pretty awful to her. I've been so busy with work that I haven't had the chance to play with her lately. [Satou stretches, with the juice box in one hand and granola bar still in her mouth, muffling her words:] 'eels goo'ta streeetch!

[She can hike with him anytime.

And if she chose to reveal her past he'd listen.]

What the fuck is her name?

[He must've heard her wrong. He had to. But since they're there... He pulls his own juice out and sips it, his eyes never leaving Shooey.]

She looks like she could murder a whole village. [Bakugo praise!]

Shooey!

[Satou states proudly as she bites off a piece of granola bar. Then, to save the dragon's dignity:] Her full name is 'Shugo!' But I named her that before I knew she was a girl.

[Also watching, Satou might get a bit misty eyed. She named her Pokemon after her dear friends, since she found them before she found any human friends in Genessia. Shooey was named after someone who died, which is why Satou can't bear to just change the name.]

She's really awesome! I bet if I was a better trainer, she could be the scariest and kindest dragon ever. [And if she had been a better mentor to Shugo, he wouldn't be dead.]

Maybe I should use my days off to go hiking with her sometimes, huh?

[He was going to say that's dumb, but when he glances at her he stops himself, looking back up at Shooey, saying nothing.

Screw following gendered names, anyway.]

She's a dragon. It's not like she needs constant attention like a puppy, but it might help her to stretch her wings.

[Finishing off his drink, he sets it on fire with his hands.] She looks pretty fucking intimidating already to me!

Maybe not, but she likes playing! Shooey deserves more attention.

[Satou finishes off her snacks, likewise choosing to self-burn her trash so that she doesn't litter. Shooey finally lands again, and this time seems to be offering them a ride.]

Wanna go? We can cut down our walking time. And the view from the sky is amazing~!

[Satou did you even need to ask. He's already scrambling to climb up on Shooey, but he also tries petting her.]

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

[Shooey is more than happy to launch into the air as soon as he's on her back. With a laugh, Satou jumps up after them: For the time being, she's letting the two of them get used to each other. Something tells her that Shooey and him might be playing more in the future.]

You better hang on tight! Shooey is quite the acrobat!

[Bakugo lifts both hands up in the air, giving a loud, giddy yelp. It sounds very similar to his angry yelling, but it's less I-Want-To-Kill-Everyone and just more This Is Fucking Badass. He holds back on after a second. He might quickly become kind of possessive over Shooey and lowkey offer to watch her sometimes.]

Yeah, yeah.
