The pair landed, and Kora stepped off of the huge cat's back, laying a comforting hand on his great head. "It's okay Satch, camp won't kill me." She said, keeling in the dust beside him, trying to convince him to come into the camp with her. Kora... Who knows what kind of people are in there? I won't have you getting hurt. His tail twitched as he mind spoke with Kora. He didn't like this place, it scared him. But, as usual, Kora was going to put herself in danger for no good reason. "You silly kitty! It isn't like they let mass murderers into camps! I'll be fine! Besides, you're coming with me." She stood, and walked through the gates, leaving Satchel behind her. "Well? Are you coming or what?" Fine. And I am NOT a kitty. Satchel padded up to Kora's side and followed her in, purple eyes surveying the area for potential danger. "Alrighty you, lets go. And drop the cattitude, okay?" She laughed as she recited the line from one of their favorite comics, and pet the 'silly kitty' again before continuing onward. ~~~~~ Unnoticed in a shadowy corner, a boy, about the age of seventeen, crouched, watching Kora and Satchel fly in, a slight snarl on his face. They were here as well? Great... Beside him, Silkia, a beautiful silver dragon rested, her head lying on her paws, watching Jake with a slightly amused look on her face. Why do you stalk these two Jake? I have observed them, and I don't think they are worth your time. "Because Silki, Kora is... Oh, you can read my mind, you know why." Jake said, looking down at his little dragon. She had grown so quickly! It seemed just yesterday he had brought her little egg home, and watched it hatch, amazement on his face. "Well, I suppose we should go in." He said again, standing up. Silkia flew upward, to hover near his head. The pair walked into camp, and waited for others to get there.

Aeslyn sat to herself on a hard plastic chair in the orientation room, picking dirt out of her fingernails. When the girl with the giant cat noted "It isn't like they let mass murderers into camps!", she immediately looked to the tall, aloof man opposite of her.
"Well Lanz, at least they aren't catching on yet..."
The man scoffed and turned his nose up.

Kora noticed two others and waved, walking across the room to sit with them. As she got near the two however, Satchel stopped moving, fur raised, ears flat against his skull, hissing loudly. "What is wrong with you Satch? No one is going to hurt me!" That one is evil Kora... I do not want you sitting with them. He stared at the two, fire blazing in his purple eyes. "Don't be stupid! Besides, I'm older than you Satchel. If anyone needs protection it's you!" She looked down at her cat, a small smile on her face. "It's okay sweetie, just don't be so over protective, okay?" She sat down, and turned to the girl beside her. "Hi! I'm Kora. And thats Satchel. Sorry he's being so anti-social, I don't know whats wrong with him today."

Hearing the girl, Kora, speak, Aeslyn merely shrugged. She could understand anti-social so she wouldn't comment on that.
"Aeslyn," she replied, crossing her legs. "I'm sorry you got signed up for camp."
Then, noticing Lanz's complete and utter removal from the entire scene, she smirked. She'd dish out a little humor for him.
"Don't worry about this... lug. He's just a foolish, cold-hearted bastard. He's not so bad once you get past that part. Kind of like a gross candy. Only he's not sweet. At all."
Lanz didn't respond, much to Aeslyn's annoyance.

"Cool. Camp shouldn't be so bad, as long as Satch minds his manners." I AM minding my manners Kora. I am better suited to protecting you than you are me, and you know it! And I have a bad feeling about... What was it Aeslyn called him? That gross candy. He sat up, regaining his composure, and held out a paw to Aeslyn. "He wants you to shake it." Kora explained quickly, a flash of silver catching her eye. Turning around, she saw Jake walk in, an arrogant smile on his face, Silkia fluttering by his head. "Oh crap!" An evil smile crossed her face and she leaned down toward Satchel. "Why don't you go 'welcome' Jake." She whispered, pointing him out to the great cat. ~~~~~ Watch out! Silia yelled as Satch pounced on Jake, knocking him to the ground. Get off of him Satchel! The only ones who could hear her mental screams were Jake, Kora, and Satchel thankfully. And Kora seemed to think it was hilarious. "Get off of me you stupid cat!" Jake yelled, pushing Satchel off of him. Lovely to see you again Silkia The Starshine Cat winked, and padded back to Kora, satisfied with his work.

For whatever reason, Aeslyn had a liking to Kora and 'Satch', as she called the mutant cat. Kora reminded her of her sister Kedo. Always vulnerable no matter how badass they tried to be. The firebreather shook her head, shook the cat's paw, and then stood up, revealing her tall, womanly frame.
"I'll 'welcome' him, if you want," she said. "He looks like a prick."

"Thanks" Kora said, watching Satchel and Jake's display. "But Jake dragon does have painfully sharp claws." She turned to Aeslyn, laughing. "Jake is a bit of a prick. But he is allowed to be, his parents are filthy rich."

"Filthy rich, huh?"
Her words went off as she looked at the dragon beside Jake. She was in love already. It was a beautiful being, so right away, she made a note not to disturb it. Strangely, she did have a weird respect for beautiful creatures.
"I'm more of a prick than him," came Lanz's voice to Aeslyn. She looked back at him and pursed her lips. "I knew the thought ran across your mind at least once."
"Since we're here, you're gonna have to make friends. I've already accepted that, and I know how you hate it when I'm better than you," she said snobbishly.
"You know I couldn't care less."
"I know it bothers you." Then, she turned to Kora. "Anything you'd like me to say to the boy?"

"Yeah, he is. I don't really have anything to say to him, Satchel, anything you need to say?" Kora said, looking down at her opinionated friend. Tell him if he comes any closer to Kora than he is now I will rip his arms and legs off. Satchel said, broadcasting his thoughts so Aeslyn could hear him as well.

Aeslyn smirked. Finally a chance to release some of her own attitude, though she had expected Lanz to do the same. Apparently he was going to continue playing cold bastard. In her mind, the firebreather shrugged the thought away and approached the boy, 'Jake', and his dragon. A dragon. It was so beautiful, she almost didn't want to do this, but she figured someone as pompous looking as him couldn't be truly grateful for what he had.
"My name's Aeslyn," she said immediately, jutting her hand out before him. "It appears that you know Kora."

Jake shook her hand, acting with the dignified attitude of the rich. "I am Jake, and this is Silki, or Silkia if you wish to be formal." He said, Silkia bowing her head toward the fire breather. It appears one of Kora's friends has come to badger you Jake. Silki thought, landing on the edge of a chair beside him. As you know, my name is Silki. May we ask your business? She asked, able to, as Satchel was, broadcast her thoughts.

"I thought I told you. I'm Aeslyn." Though she was answering Silki's question, her green eyes glared viciously to Jake. "And I wouldn't say I'm here to badger you. I'm here to tell you that if you step near Kora for any reason--"
She took out her torch from it's pack on her side, and with one blow, blew it a flame--
"I'll burn you to a damn crisp. Nice to meet you."
Promptly, she walked back to Kora and Satchel, giving Lanz a strange look as she did so. He didn't look too happy with her.
"You're gonna be quick to make it hard on yourself at camp, you know that, right? This is why I stay quiet." She ignorned him.

How dare that little- I'll show her fire! Silkia flew into the air, wings opened to an impressive span of 8 feet. "Silki, wait." Jake said, placing a comforting hand on her back. "I don't want Satchel to hurt you." Oh please Jake, I can deal with it. She shook his hand off of her and made a bee line for where her 'enemies' sat, golden eyes blazing menacingly. As she neared them, Silki let out a huge column of golden flame. Don't ANY of you, EVER come near Jake again do you understand me? Silkia, darling, whatever are you talking about? Satch asked, laughing at the little dragon. "Heya Silki! Sorry if Aeslyn scared you." Kora said, struggling to hold in her laughter. She did NOT scare me. But she did threaten Jake, and I will kill her if she does it again.

With a maniacle fury almost, Aeslyn laughed.
"What? YOU'RE going to kill me? You may be a dragon, but let me tell you something. My seniority will burn your ass!"
Aeslyn was making a fool of herself. Lanz slapped his forehead and stretched his skin, sighing. Seniority would have to show her a thing or two. Stretching his right hand out as far as he could, his staff materialized in his palm. It was a tall staff with the hand of a skeleton at the top. His favorite thing about it was that when he waved it back and forth, the hand would wiggle with it, almost like it was greeting someone.
The staff then glowed a deep shade of purple, and suddenly, a wonky looking skeleton rose from the dirt ground behind Aeslyn and playfully slapped her on the back of the head.
