[lifeban]

That you can say that means you're definitely not Long.

[eggstinction]

I am not Long, I am Moon.

[lifeban]

On that we agree.

[eggstinction]

Would you like to see how I am as a dragon, to see the comparison for yourself? Of course, I will not take my true size.

[lifeban]

...Please.

[eggstinction]

[happy tail swishes]

Let us go into the privacy of your room, first.

[lifeban]

[tailswishing in turn. interest!!]

Of course.

[luckily it is. the first room down the hall. nyoom. yep, still definitely not a real bedroom.]

[eggstinction]

[NYOOM]

[it's sure not a bedroom, but that means plenty of space for Moon to step out into the middle of the floor and explode. his body shatters into salt and a giant, dark shape slithers out of the broken reality to wind around the room. it's a rush meant to show off and intimidate, with all his scrabbling claws and the sudden rise of black, spiky armor like walls around them ...but he keeps out of the sleeping area, he avoids scratching any screens, and when he finishes his shift, his tail's going thump-thump-thump LOOK AT MEEE]

[lifeban]

[Dan Heng freezes while all that happens, very still and tense, but not so much as summoning his spear. He does, after before, at least kind of trust Moon not to fuck him up at random, and he does note the details in the lack of actual destruction, the care not to disturb his personal space or damage anything.

And once the transformation is complete, he's pausing to visibly eyerake Moon, take in the details of this impressive form.]

[eggstinction]

[Moon rears up in the center of his coils, his neck curved in a serpentine arch to peer down at Dan Heng. His other form lacked horns, and this one does too. No horns, big eyes and a shorter snout— for all his size and ferocity, this is a young dragon.

He rumbles, the sound thudding through the floor, and an echo speaks over Dan Heng's shoulder,]

How do I look?

[lifeban]

Powerful.

[voice soft, as he steps hesitantly closer.]

...May I draw you?

[eggstinction]

[he dips his head lower, arching his neck higher in a flattered curve]

Certainly. You are an artist?

[lifeban]

No. But I prefer the tactility of it, over photos.

[he is actually a very good artist. stepping over to the shelf to grab a notebook.]

[eggstinction]

[swings his head to follow him curiously, before drawing back and settling more comfortably into his coils]

I would like to see it when you are done.

[lifeban]

Of course.

[notebook, pencil... sitting on the floor with his back to the wall so he has the widest view of Moon in his entirety, letting his gaze linger slowly over him again.]

[eggstinction]

Do you require me to sit still? Or might I groom my scales?

[lifeban]

You can move.

[eggstinction]

Thank you.

[dips his head in a nod, then sets to grooming himself like a very long and snakey cat. nibbling loose scales with his sharp teeth and licking away leftover salt.]

[lifeban]

[so cute... but he'll start drawing, sketching out that more austere, intimidating pose from before.]

[eggstinction]

[i'm still intimidating....!!

when he's preened to his satisfaction, he curves his head back to rest on his own neck, half-dozing. his eyes are shut, but there's still the distinct feeling of being watched. the gemstones studded along his brow don't shine quite the way jewels should.]
