Who: Daenerys, Liora & Open!
What: Daenerys is teaching her class at the college/university with a special guest/helper.
When: Monday morning!
Where: The college/university campus.

(A. For Liora -)

(She is carrying a box of live insects in one hand and a folder of notes in the other. When she reaches the entryway to the campus, she pauses, looking around for Liora. She is such a small Dragon that she is a little worried about her - however she knows her students will love to see her. It would shock her greatly if Liora didn't come away from the encounter with some new friends. More importantly, there will be more people who can protect or assist her should Erebus ever turn up.)

Liora?

(B. Open to potential students/passersby -)

(Daenerys is a passionate teacher; her lectures are fun to listen to even if the material happens to be a little dry at times. Diplomacy isn't always exciting, however she always pairs those lessons with a lesson on Dragons. Today, Liora will help her emphasize certain points - mainly that Dragons are beautiful, fragile creatures that deserve the respect and protection of humankind. While she speaks, she will offer her guest some of the insects she had trapped earlier, hoping to give her some comfort. It's not always easy being in front of a crowd.)

Isn't she beautiful?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Liora does quietly munch on a few insects while Daenerys is giving her lecture. She tries to do so while hiding behind the desk so as not to potentially gross anyone out. When Daenerys finishes introducing her, Liora hops on top of the desk to let the students get a better view of her, spreading her large wings out for balance before folding them at her back. She clears her throat.]

Hello, everyone. I'm Liora...a dragon from Sornieth. I've been in Genessia for quite a while now. I mostly stay in Fayren, but I look around other cities sometimes.

[She fidgets with her talons a bit.]

Um...I don't know what else to say, so if anyone has questions about Sornieth, or about dragons in general, I can try to answer them. But remember that dragons can differ in other worlds, so I won't know everything...

Anyone...?

[She looks around, hopeful that someone will indulge her...]

[Still being hopelessly doe-hearted, Myrrh is trying to be open and be apart of this talk of Dragons, being one herself. But it's a fight that she can barely win.

Instead, with a small dish of insects, she stealthily approaches Liora, placing the dish near by, and retreating a safe distance to watch from behind an object. Not very well hidden eitger, her wings reveal her position.]

[Liora hears the soft "thump" of the dish being placed near her, and she turns to glance at it. And then she spots the pair of wings. Curious, Liora moves towards the figure. It's a strange feeling. Since Liora is used to being afraid of everyone, it's strange to see anyone being afraid of her.]

Hello? You don't have to be afraid of me. I think we've spoken before, haven't we?

[She can't really help being timid. She tries, but shr just needs the right kind of motivation.
Steadily, she creeps out from hiding.]

We have... Once before. Hello again.

[Truth be told, Liora was as excited about attending this class as she was nervous. Back in Sornieth, she had wished there was a way to end the conflict between dragonkind and the Beastclans. She understood that the Beastclans saw the dragons as a threat, but still hoped that they could one day live together. She hoped that she could learn a little diplomacy, and learn how to convince people that dragons weren't as scary as they're often made out to be.]

[Just before the class, Liora washed herself up and snacked on a few insects. She needed energy to fly to the campus, after all. She flew over to the campus, descending carefully as she came nearer, keeping an eye for Daenerys near the entrance.]

There she is...!

[Liora exclaimed softly to herself as she descended fully, landing a few feet away from Daenerys.]

I'm here!

(She has nothing to fear. The Mother of Dragons will become incredibly fierce and unforgiving should anyone or anything threaten Liora. This will be a good experience - she is certain - and it will go a long way to helping humans see the wonderful qualities of Dragons.

Daenerys welcomes her with a bright smile, kneeling down so Liora doesn't have to strain so much to see her face.)

Thank you for coming. Everyone is going to love you. (She offers the small Dragon her arm - a safe place to perch - while they move through the campus.)

[Liora's eyes seem to brighten and sparkle with hope upon hearing those words.]

Really...? I mean, I hope so...

[She can't help but doubt a little, but that's why she's here. She's going to help teach people that dragons aren't so terrible.]

[She looks at Dany's arm for a moment, thinking it might be an interesting idea to perch on it. And so she does.]

Well...are we ready?

I know so. (Daenerys lifts her so that Liora is safe in the circle of her arms. She doesn't want anyone to knock the little Dragon off by accident as they pass through a crowd.)

I am. If anyone asks you questions during the lesson, answer as best as you are able.

[She really hadn't expected the campus to be this crowded. She cringes in Dany's arms as they pass through.]

I will. I expect most people will have a lot of questions...

(She nuzzles the top of Liora's head with her cheek, trying to comfort her.)

Answer as many as you can; I won't let you be overwhelmed.

(Daenerys threads through the crowd and enters a building, walking to the classroom.)

[So there is a Mother of Dragons, and a bitty dragon. You know what else this needs? Another dragon! Myrrh can never seem to escape her timid shell as she observes this class as a passerby, lurking about and hiding behind just about anything that could conceal her. Except for the large, yellow wings sticking out and revealing her position, of course. Every so often she'll try to get closer.

You'll have to forgive her. She wants to be more outgoing, but words often fail her.]

(She has spied those yellow wings before. Daenerys hides a smile, pretending not to notice Myrrh's approach. There is a chair for her and, after the lesson is over, she will finally address her little visitor.)

Would you like to have lunch with us?

[Myrrh is relieved to see Daenerys is still as nice as before, which helps to coax her out of hiding. She'd like to accept, but she is conscious of her wings. They could get in the way.]

Is it really okay? I...I won't be in the way?

Everyone is welcome. (She walks over to Myrrh and holds out her hand.) I think you are lovely. All Dragons are respected here.
