Re: The Island (The non-combat IC thread)
The Beach
Six -> Alex
The mention of torture seemed to make those scars all along the creatures stand out as if the sun itself was nothing more than a spotlight so they could be seen. It caused Alex to feel a bit of pity for her. It may not compare to the rather drastic abuse that this girl had suffered, but the dragon knew what constant torture felt like, especially when it went a little too far. "It really isn't all that bad. Outside of a match no one if forcing you to do anything. You can wander wherever you please, there are a number of services that this resort offers, and even if they're rather dull and easily intimidated the staff will give you anything you desire." If Alex had come to this place of her own accord she most likely would have stayed. In a way this was a dragon's paradise. That was probably what caused her to fully relax with such a dangerous looking creature so close.
"My apologies for asking, but what exactly are you?" It was probably the worst timing in the world to ask such a question, but not having a proper label for the girl was starting to get a little unsettling. "I've been trying to place what kind of creature you are, but I'm having no luck. I'd rather not refer to you as 'it' in my head while I'm thinking."
Six mearly shrugged. "I've fought out of worse..." she muttered, still contentedly curled up, tail twitching idly as her mind wandered, though still looking attentively to the other creature. "Even still, it's some irony though. Escape from one torture, brought to another..." she mused, more to herself. Now she was closer in the sunlight, the creature examining her would be able to note a few details that would have been hard to see during the mad dash from the ocean- scars, many of them. Much of the black armor that made up her frame- where it wasn't ridged to fit with certain contures of her body- was scarred heavily, seemingly from an exterior source. Whoever or whatever had made her made sure she remembered the experience one way or another.
