You should've brought more C-4. Ai complained when Kora kept talking. Nothing like blowing something up to scare them off.
That was all that would fit if I wanted to bring clothes. Kat snapped. She ignored Ai's further complaints in favor of listening to the woman blowing fire on the other side of the room. Fun, they want to burn things!]
Pyro.
Yep, and so far fire seems to be this camp's only redeeming feature.

((occ: alrighty then ^^))
"Hello, I'm Jake, and this is my dragon Silkia. Welcome to camp!" Jake said, standing next to Kora. I see you have met them already... thought Silkia, throwing a dark look toward Kora and Satchel, who simply smiled back.

"Hm. I see there isn't a response. Well then I'll just go by myself."
It didn't seem like Aeslyn was going to enjoy herself at camp. It wasn't a big surprise, though, she thought. She was never fond of people. That's why ARC had hired her in the first place, she remembered. Because she could tell if people really had an issue or if they were just annoying by the ability they had to put up with her.
As she walked out of the small, cramped space that was called a door, she twisted the flames into fun little shapes with her free hand out of boredom. She hoped Kora would catch on and "hang out" outside. She needed fresh air anyway.

Kat froze at the sound of someone's voice in her head, other than Ai the only thing that had ever been able to do that was a Wraith. She hadn't heard Satchel over Ai's complaints but Silkia's voice was loud and clear.
Without even thinking her hand flew to the Beretta shoved into the waistband of her pants and she pointed it at the boy and dragon. "Get away." her voice was sharp and angry as she fought down the fear threatening to choke her.

Hearing a voice even sharper than her own, Aeslyn spun around just as she was at the doorframe to see Kat pointing a gun - much less crude than those of her world - at the two she so soon had learned to loathe.
She was liking this girl's style.
Morality knocked on her head, though, even as she remembered her very own threat.
"Jeezus where's Lanz when you need him?" she asked herself, watching intently, a bit worried. Guns had alwas proved to be a two-sided blade in her time. They were precise and caused immense damage, but were so crude that they often backfired and did more damage to the gunsman.
But this weapon was much less crude. She bit her lip.

A huge jet of flame burst from Silkia's maw, inches away from Kat's face. PUT. THE GUN. DOWN!!! She roared inside her mind, Face twisted in a feral snarl. "Silkia! Get down!" Jake yelled, pushing his dragon out of the way. If someone was going to be shot, it would be him. The lot of you stop it! Satchel thought, oddly calm in such a dangerous situation. Kora, Jake, as you two are the most susceptible to these kinds of weaponry, I suggest you 'get away' like she said. Silkia and I can handle this. "No Satchel! I will not!" Kora said, throwing a sharp look at the girl. Arguing with, and teasing Jake was one thing, a loaded gun was another.

For kicks, Aeslyn thought she'd show the damn dragon what she was good for.
Stretching out her palm, the cone of fire that Silkia blew formed into a neat little sphere in Aeslyn's hand, and a smile came to her face.
"You're hopeless if we get in a fight," she said. "At least with fire. But you seem smart enough. You'd use something else, wouldn't you?" She made a half-smirk, half something-other-than-a-smirk, a little more geniuine.
She extinguished the flame with a clenched fist.

When the flames neared her arm Kat jumped out of the chair and stood to the side, gun still aimed at the boy and eyes on the dragon. "Tell your pets to get out of my head or someone's going to get shot. Go to the other side of the room and don't come near me again." her voice shook but the hand holding the gun remained steady and she silently thanked Cap for beating that into her.
The children failed to move and her finger tightened over the trigger. But before anything could happen her eyes rolled up into her head and she collapsed on the floor.

"Silkia... Where... Where'd your fire go?" Jake said, now worried for himself, and his dragon. Kora and Satchel too of course, but not as much as he was for his best friend. The bloody fire shaper put it out. Silkia hissed through her mind, silver eyes focused on the gun wielding monster in front of her. No matter. She extended her long silver claws, delighting in the way they sparkled when they caught the light. "No! We will not leave!" He barked angrily. If she wanted to hurt them, she could go ahead and try. ~~~~~ All of a sudden, the girl fell, her eyes rolling to the back of her head. With the swiftness of a, well, a cat, he darted underneath Kat, to catch her before she fell, and gently lowered her to the ground.

Ai opened the eyes of her shared body and tried not to be sick as the forced transfer of control drained her energy. "Gods, what did she do before I got to her?"

"She pointed a gun at Silkia and I. And what do you mean, 'she'? You are she." Jake said, still quite angry with the girl. And so help me, if you pick up that gun again I will kill you. Silkia thought angrily, her talons now sheathed. Interesting... two consciousnesses inhabiting the same body... Thought Satchel, intrigued by the new discovery. Tell me, how did you achieve this? Satchel! Don't be an idiot! That person just pointed a gun at us! No, they pointed a gun at you.

"I think she got scared. Or something. Does she need fresh air?" Aeslyn asked in regards to Kat. Someone with the nerve to weild a gun had guts.
By now she was exploding with anger at Lanz for deserting them. Always had to be a damn loner. She hated that. It annoyed the hell out of her.
"The dragon must've been talking in her head. She has no respect for inner privacy, apparently."

Ai figured that since Kat had just threatened them with a gun she owed the children an explanation. "I am an artificial intelligence that was bonded to Kat by mistake. As a result we now inhabit the same body and often fight for control. When she pulled the gun on you I began attempting to regain control of our body and stop her before she harmed you.
"Her sheer terror was hard to break through but when I did I knocked her unconcious. I apologize for anything she said or did, it's not her fault she's just scared of anything that can speak inside her mind."

The 'dragon' was not inside ANYONE'S head. I was talking to her, in the only way I can. Silkia thought angrily, still mad at the fire shaper for changing her impressive column of flame. "Fair enough. But I still would like to know where she comes from and who the heck you two are." Kora said, fists clenched by her sides. "And if you can, tell her not to point guns at my enemies." Guys? Why don't we THANK them for saving us in the first place? Satchel mind-spoke, looking disapprovingly at the lot of them. "Thanks..." Kora and Jake muttered, still scared stiff from the whole 'gun thing'.
