[curiousredsoul]

Date & Time: Backdated late June to mid-July
Location: All about the city
Characters: Celena and Open!
Summary: Celena sets herself to helping with repairs and constructions about the city and properly stretching her wings.
Warnings: None as yet.

[A] Helping with repairs.

For nearly half a month already, Celena had been hard at work repairing what she could, offering her assistance to any who would accept it. There was still much to be done but it was to the point now where she could focus beyond the immediate short term necessities of the natives effected. Putting her services out for those who still needed assistance in their repairs.

[B] Constructions abound.

Having taken time from repairs Celena finally set to the construction of her own abode, she needed a place where she could work relatively undisturbed. Having found a suitable location not far out from the initiatives Hold, a rather large ruin well beyond repair, Celena had set about salvaging what brick, metal and timber she could before clearing the rest. Something she had become quite skilled at during her works on board the Transmigration 9.

Without assistance the task would take some time indeed, thus she put out a call for assistance with the matter, it would be a good chance to get to know those she was to work with should any take up the call.

[C] In flight.

Every morning near without fail Celena's draconic form would grace the skies above Exsilium. Whether simply flying high above, enjoying the air beneath her wings or swooping almost daringly low over the rooftops as she honed her skill in this new city. She did miss having taller obstacles to weave her way between but she made do where she could.

After her flights she would oft rest a while finding building tops that would support her weight set down upon and watch the goings on of the city for a time.

[B] Anything else!

Aurican is flying as well.

Well, sort of. He manages to stay aloft and learns that about half the time he can manage to fly around the skies of Exsilium . . . the other time his wings will sometimes forgets he is even flying and his own mind is forced to take over, resulting in rather spectacular crash landings.

How is he uninjured is a mystery that Aurican is not interested in solving, thank you.

As he attempts his umpteenth time at launching himself into the sky, he spots splotches of red and gray amongst the drab color of the Exsilium sky.

Determined to at least reach the dragon, Aurican jumps up and climbs into the sky.

The presence of another joining her in the sky does not elude her for long, even letting her mind wander her sharp eyes scanned the city below, picking out that small golden form winging its way up towards her. Though she had not met the dragon in question, she recognized him quite easily as the young dragon she had spoken to over the network just after she had arrived.

Quite curious, Celena tipped on wingtip, bringing her course around gradually to bring her closer to the young dragon. Intrigued by the unusual workings of his wings and the way they pushed him through the air.

Once she was sure she would be within earshot, she called out with a cheerful tone, "Greetings!"

[ofgoldenfoil]

Aurican relaxes his mind as he climbs into the air - for some reason, he finds that relaxing his mind, trusting his instincts prove to be the better pilot of his body than his calculating thoughts. But it takes time for him to realize this understanding, so it is hit and miss at times.

"Hello, ah - " He scrambles to try to remember this dragon's name. "Celena? I am Aurican."

[curiousredsoul]

Celena casts a smile across to him, dipping her head in greetings, "Indeed, that is I, a pleasure to meet you Aurican," She casts her gaze to the sky about, "A fine day for a flight wouldn't you say? Far from as wet as most,"

Adjusting her course and speed with a thought to better match his own to fly alongside. Watching him curiously the motions of his wings and the way he flew cluing her in somewhat to how new he was to flight.

"Very much so," Aurican replies. "It's easier to learn when it's not raining."

He is grateful she is slowing down for him as he learns to readjust himself as he attempts to hover, which is easier said than done.

[curiousredsoul]

"That is quite true indeed, the less to worry about while learning the better," She casts a smile to him cheerfully, "You seem to be doing well thus far,"

She brings herself to a hover easily by him, and a little off to the side, watching him carefully.

[ofgoldenfoil]

"I am fortunate," Aurican admits, not at all willing to say that more often than not, he goes crashing down. He does have his pride, after all.

"How do you fare with Exsilium?"

[curiousredsoul]

Celena dips her head to that, she knew well how prideful dragons, even young ones could be, "You shall only get better with each attempt,"

"I fare quite well, despite an eventful first month," she comments with a gesture to the ground below, much of the destruction from the bombing quite evident, "I have had much opportunity to put my skills with construction to use and indeed, have an abode of my own in progress,"

"What of yourself, Aurican, how have you fared in your time here?"
