[In a past life, right up until a month or two before her death, Shura had familiars. Shura knew how to handle magical familiars. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't too hard so long as she could figure out what the familiar wanted. A dragon, however, was something else. Sure, the theory was the same--figure out what Aconite wanted, determine if that was what she needed, and go from there. But in practice? Keeping a dragon under wraps and keeping said dragon happy while traveling was a giant pain.
Tonight, it was the damn willow of the wisps. Aconite had nearly escaped her twice that day trying to chase after them. Shura was doing her best to keep Aconite close, fashioning a little harness to keep her from wandering off, making a toy out of a long stick and some leaves. The harness is working, but the toy can't distract her from the wisps. For both of their sakes, Shura keeps close to the fire, dragon in her lap.]
Why can't you just sleep? It's been a long day, you should be tired.
[Whether or not the person nearby her knows about the true nature of the winged kitten in Shura's lap, Shura will just openly whine about the young creature's behavior. Even now at this late hour, Aconite is intently staring at the blips of light and making soft trilling sounds.]
room 5
[Shura had planned to make herself comfortable and take a break in this room. She wanted to sit, maybe eat a bite. But no, of course something had to happened. Aconite has nibbled on one of the mushrooms, and now she's desperate to tell Shura... something. It's hard to say what exactly is happening, only that what appears to be little kitten is making some weird noises in Shura's face. So much for relaxing!]
Hey, hey, calm down. You hungry?
ooc: feel free to handwave enough CR for your character to know about Aconite's true nature! She'll be in disguise as a winged kitten during the expedition, but dang that cat makes some weird noises.
