Quarter: Tessera (Autumn) Year: 81379 Day: 23 Character Name: Ykugif Fhysutsemu --------------------------------------- The snow was falling heavily in the mountains and visibility was poor but this young Yki was used to it, being born in this area and all. Ykugif flattened her ears against the cold and trudged on, making it seem as if she were just walking though a grassy park through a heavy wind. Making sure her wings were tucked tightly at her sides she climbed ever higher, making sure to step carefully for even a Yki can slip, especially in these conditions. Finally she came to a ledge and she pressed herself against it to shelter herself from the harsh wind. She rested for a few more minutes for this ledge marked the beginning of an even more arduous climb that ended at the mouth of a cave, her destination. Usually she would just fly to the entrance, only climbing if she really felt like it, but under the circumstances she had to climb. So taking a deep breath she faced the ledge and reared up on her hind legs, digging her front claws into cracks at the top of the ledge. Slowly she began to pull herself up, her back claws scrabbled on the face of the ledge to try and propell her forward. As she pulled herself up she collapsed on her front and inched forward before getting up, shaking snow off her fur as she did. She squinted ahead, there was another ledge, higher this time so she needed a running start to hook her claws into any cracks at the top. Taking another deep breath she charged forward and as the ledge drew nearer she jumped but her timing was off. She slammed into the ledge, knocking the breath out of her but desperatly clawed at the top, trying to get a hold. Unfortunatly she wasn't able to get a hold of anything and fell into the snow below. She groaned and got up, stumbling a bit. She felt a throbbing pain in her left back leg but didn't pay it much mind. <span style='color:red'>This is going to be a long day...</span> She thought.

Chzyuak was mentally cursing herself, for coming out here. There were better places to practice her skills. She admitted to herself, that the view was extradorninary. She looks down at the ledge below her. Did something move down there? She squints, and is just be able to make out a figure. She yells out,"Hello? Is there someone down there?"
OOC: Ah no not at all IC Ykugif's ears twitched at the voice and looked around. She didn't quite understand what the voice said through all the snow and wind although she did catch enough to understand. <span style='color:red'>"Erm...Hi?"</span> She shouted upwards, not exactly thrilled that someone else was here but maybe company would be a nice change of pace... She tried the ledge again, this time timing it better so she was in a better postion to get her claws into something. She succeeded and pulled herself up. This time she rested a little longer and had one of those rare moments where she cursed being a four legger as she looked around again, wondering where the source of the voice was anyway. She hopped up onto a small ledge, wincing at the annoying throbbing of her leg, before shouting <span style='color:red'>"Where are-? Wait..."</span> She barely caught a sign of movement a little more ways up and began to climb toward where she saw it.
She squints, watching the dragon climb up the side of the mountain. She thinks for a moment. "Do you want some help getting up here?" She snuggles into her heavy jacket, and is thankful she had enough sense to buy it.
Ykugif looks up towards the figure <span style='color:red'>"Nah, I'm fine..."</span> She climbed further up, hooking her claws into cracks occasionally to keep her hold on the ice. <span style='color:red'>One more...</span> she thought and with one mighty leap she dug her claws onto the top of the platform. Pausing, she shook the snow off her fur and wings before turning toward the dragon whose figure was clearer to her now. She nodded her head in greeting <span style='color:red'>"...Ello."</span>
Chz watched as the dragon, shook all the snow off of her. "Hello, I am Chz. So, do you always climb mountains?" ooc sorry for the short post wasn't sure what else to say.
Ykugif sits before answering <span style='color:red'>"Well...ya kinda...I mean, I was born and raised around here..."</span> Just then she was reminded of her sore leg and sighed, adding almost to herself <span style='color:red'>"But I prefer flying..."</span> She examined the dragon in front of her whom, she could see, wasn't exactly made for climbing around on mountains. She shrugged though, thinking that it doesn't exactly stop a dragon from doing what they weren't originally meant to do. She looked around, spotting the mouth of the cave she was originally trying to get to. <span style='color:red'>"Um...If you would prefer...There's a cave just over there that I sometimes stay in to get away from...things...But you're welcome to stay for a little while...for at least a rest or something..."</span> Her voice was quiet as she said this and she never really met the dragons eye, hinting at some shyness. However, when it all came down to it, she actually kind of liked the idea of company. <span style='color:red'>"But...I mean you don't have to if you don't want...I just...you know, put it out there so...yeah..."</span> Sometimes she acted much younger then she was.... <span style='color:red'>"By the way, what's your name?"</span> She said quickly. OOC That happens to me! Usually a lot...I don't get why I'm able to write this much at the moment...
Chzyuak watches Ykugif, with a look of concern. "I am Chzyuak, and sure we can move to the cave. Are you sure your ok? I don't mind sticking around. I just came out here to practice my trades."
Ykugif allows herself a small grin. <span style='color:red'>"My name's Ykugif....and yeah I'm okay."</span> With that said she was silent as she led the way to the cave. OOC writers block :/
Chzyuak walked quickly but, carefully behind Ykugif, so that she wouldn't break her neck. She suddenly hit a slick spot, and slid in a circle. She balanced herself, and continue following. "Ok maybe, next time I will pick at the bottom, someplace to practice. It might be a little safer for me." She laughed as she said the words.
Ykugif's ears twitched as she heard the sound of sliding, she decided to slow down so Chyzuak would be able to have time to place her steps carefully. She turned her head and called back <span style='color:red'>"Ya'll right back there?"</span> Noticing the other dragon slide around she kept herself from laughing out loud and ended up with a small smirk.
Chzyuak called out,"Yeah, I am not exactly cut out for this snow and ice stuff." She concetrates, and lifts herself up off the ground, and starts to carry herself towards the cave, once she gets to the entrance, she sets herself back down. She quickly moves inside the cave, and spots a rock to sit up on. She hops up on the rock and sits down. She pulls a chocolate bar out of her coat pocket, opens it and breaks in half. "Would you like some chocolate?"
Ykugif shakes the rest of the snow off her fur and wings, sitting down close to Chzyuak. She turns toward the other dragon and eyes the bar of chocolate. <span style='color:red'>"Oh...It's been a while since I had a bit of chocolate..."</span> She grins a little, remembering the test and somewhat like a little kid she answers <span style='color:red'>"Yes please!"</span> OOC: Really, really sorry about not replying sooner, just been busy. *adds about a million more sorrys*
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>Not a problem. Wasn't here this last weekend, will be busy most of this week, and will be gone mot of next weekend also.</td></tr></table> Chzyuak grinned. She handed her half of the chocolate bar. She put another peice in her mouth, and let it melt. "So, why are you out here? Practicing a trade or just because, forgive me I tend to get nosey, and want to know everything."
