[well. he's certainly bigger than any dang salamence archie's ever seen. he'd watched the footage, though, so he had something of an idea of what to expect.
archie is very used to large spiny animals, but he's also savvy enough to know not to expect drogon to be friendly like most pokémon. he waves at them both, carefully putting the still-wrapped legs down on the sand.]
Yo, no prob. No point havin' these powers if I don't use em for somethin', right? [he looks around her, at drogon.] He's real cute!
[ She is startled, a little, by his assessment -- and then grins, open and wide in a way she doesn't usually do, and twists to look back at the dragon in question. ]
There were those who would agree with you, when he was newly hatched. Less, now. But I think so too.
[ Don't tell him that.
She looks to the meat, nodding once -- it can stay there, for the moment -- and then offers out her hand for Archie to take. ]
It would be best if you approach like this, with me. Even if he's lethargic.
[he can't help but chuckle a little when he takes her hand. yeah, his sharpedo would hate being called cute.]
I get it-- the dragons back home aren't as big, but... they're still dragons?
[even with their trainers, it's stupid as fuck to do something that might startle or anger a fully evolved dragon type. especially if they think you're about to hurt their trainer.]
