Lucas
{^~ when they got to the ice kingdom she went into a dive, her wings closing before she "Crashed" Into the snow, giggling as she shook off, ~^}
Calvin
Overheat landed a bit more gracefully, shivering slightly as her talons touched the snow. "Oh wow that's *Cold-*" She gasped slightly, shaking her talons off, glancing over at Kitti, watching the other dragon happily enjoying the snow.
Lucas
" Would you like me to make you some talon covers next? " {^~ she giggled watching the other dragon, she didn't seem bothered by the change in temperature ~^}
Calvin
"Ack- Oooh, yikes- Yes please-" Ver hopped from talon to talon before quickly taking to the air again. "I completely forgot I'd have my talons in the snow- it's *SO* Cold-" She shook her claws out, getting the freezing snow off them.
Lucas
{^~ she giggled before taking out her talon covers out of her bag and offering them to her ~^}
Calvin
The hybrid, still in the air, carefully took them and put it on, breathing a sigh of relief. "That's much better... Thanks..." She replied, landing back in the snow."
Lucas
" No problem, I keep forgetting not every dragon is as used to the cold as I am-" {^~ she giggled awkwardly, looking around a bit to make sure no one was gonna try and question ver yet, ~^}
Calvin
"It's alright... I mean, you'd think I'd be fine, I'm Nightwing and Skywing, both can breathe fire and all that... But the cold really outweighs it..." Ver sighed, curiously starting to inspect the snow.
Lucas
" The snow in the ice wing kingdom is colder then the snow you can find on the mountain tops" {^~ she said taking a deeper breath before exhaling, some white smoke coming from her muzzle before she looked around more, her frill flexing slightly as she watched any minor movement in the snow, the natural hunting instincts peaking through ~^}b
Calvin
Overheat nodded. "No kidding... It's... Crazy." She shook her head, starting to enjoy the snow a bit more herself, despite how cold it was on her scales. "Hehe, it's kinda cool though!"
Lucas
" You'd love the crystal caves, they echo music so beautifully" {^` she giggled starting to walk again, her wings curling underneath her cloth ~^}
Calvin
"Ooohhh? What crystal caves???" Ver shot up from where she'd been flopped on her back on the snow, following Kitti once again.
Lucas
" I spend most my time there, that's where my fur work shop is, I enjoy the pretty crystals and the way they shine with the torch light"
Calvin
"Alright!" Ver replied cheerily, "I think I'm going to need a little bit of timw to relax and get used to how chilly it is here first..." She admitted.
Lucas
" That's fine, we have plenty of time, the ice wing kingdom is far quieter and less busy then the other kingdoms-"
Calvin
Overheat nodded, trotting alongside Kitti. "It's kind of beautiful here, in an... Odd way. It seems so plain, but so pretty at the same time..."
Lucas
" The tundra can be pretty, it is especially pretty at night, the moon light twinkles over the snow much like my scales do in the sun,"
Calvin
"Ooooo-" The hybrid's eyes were wide, picturing the scene in her mind. "I can't wait to see that!!"
Lucas
" Luckily for you it's supposed to be a full moon, so it will be extra twinkley ' {^~ she giggled before sitting at one of the resting spots around a fire for visitors, using her frost breath to make herself somewhere to sit ~^}
Calvin
Overheat seemed quite excited. "Cooool!" She sat by the fire, taking care not to burn anything on her, while getting warm. "I can't wait to see that!" Ver beamed over at Kitti with a smile.
Lucas
" Hopefully no one mean is on guard duty at the moment- I do not wish to have to explain to anyone why I brought another person into the kingdom-"
Calvin
"Well uh... I can just make myself scarce if you need to check whose on duty-?" Ver suggested hopefully, tilting her head to one side.
Lucas
{^~ she shook her head ~^} " Isn't to big of a issue, usually my dad and his girlfriend are working at this time with a few others, but the others normally don't matter to much "
Calvin
"Alright!" The hybrid saod cheerfully, "Just as long as it doesn't get you in trouble or something, then let's do it! The Ice Kingdom is super cool, even of it is really chilly..."
Lucas
" I normally don't- and when I do I just have to hunt alittle more then I already do, because of my slim structure I am one of the better hunters in the tribe-"
Calvin
"Sweet! So uh... Is there a ppace i can stay here where i can keep warm without really getting into trouble...?" Ver inquired, starting to glance around.
Lucas
" We have spare dens you can stay in, or I have a spare room in my den, " {^~ she said shaking off alittle, her scales starting to get a alittle more vibrant with the cooler air, the more blue colors more noticable with the white snow, unlike a normal Rainwing who's colors got brighter with the sun and how warm they where `^}
Calvin
Overheat brightened up a bit. "I wouldn't mind staying in the spare room at your den!" She said cheerfully, "I mean, I wouldn't mind other spare dens either, I'd just rather be with a friend, yknow?"
Lucas
{^~ she giggled nodding some ~^} " All I ask is that you don't mess with any projects I have going on without permission- I tend to stay pretty busy-"
Calvin
Ver nodded. " I promise i won't mess with them!" She agreed, "I'll probably just be practicing singing, or exploring!"
Lucas
{^~ she smiled nudging her slightly before sitting by her and putting her wing over her back gently sorta like a hug before putting her wing down ~^} " You should fit in nicely around here once you get used to the cold-"
Calvin
Overheat nodded. "I mean, I'll likely leave the Ice Kingdom at some point to go travel around the continent sometimes, but at least I can come back!" She said brightly, feeling the chilly wing rest on her back briefly before it was gone.
Lucas
" We still gotta meet up with dauber at some point for our plantla trip, don't go leaving and not coming back any time soon" {^` she giggled teasingly ~^}
Calvin
"Ohhh yeaaahhhh, I'll just stay here for a while then! But if your friend can't come in a month or so, I'm doing a quick run around the continent to visit the other kingdoms before coming back!" Ver countered playfully, also giggling.
Lucas
" I can contact him and set it up for this next full moon?' {^` she said tilting her head ~^}
Calvin
"Good enough!" Ver nodded vigorously, bouncing up and down. "This is so excittiiinngg!!"
Lucas
" I do have to warn you, he is a hive wing hybrid- I don't know what your tribes think of them- but most think they are rather violent at times- and I can say he can be- towards his own tribe-"
Calvin
Ver blinked. "So long as he isn't violent towards me, I'll have no issues." She shrugged.
Lucas
" He's a anxiety ridden book worm- he's normally a sweet heart just jumpy and a tad protective-"
Calvin
"Maybe i could sing for him, help him ease up a bit!" Ver suggested brightly
Lucas
{^~ she giggled nodding some ~^} " You wanna head to my den to set up your room in the mean time?"
Calvin
"Yes, that sounds great!" The happy dragonet replied, "Let's do it!" She agreed eagerly.
Lucas
{^~ she got up, smiling as she headed towards a area with a couple dens, one of them bigger then the others which happened to be the one she was heading to ~^}
Calvin
Ver dashed after her, eagerly following right behind the other hybrid, taking in the large den in feont of her. "This is your den...?"
Lucas
" .. Is it to small? I can probably get a bigger one if I truly want to-' {^~ she said looking at the other dragon ~^}
Calvin
"Too *Small*!" Overheat stared at Kitti incredulously, "This is big enough, you don't need to get a bigger cave!" She laughed. "It's more than big enough!"
Lucas
" I got this one for free due to how much food I bring into the tribe so I didn't know if it was fo small-" {^~ she said giggling alittle before heading inside ~^}
Calvin
"Nahhh, it's fine! Beyter than an alleyways anyways." Vwr saod cheerfully, "Well... Once I'm settled, i think I'll just conk out and sleep for the majority of fhe night after looking outside for a bit to see the snow under the moons..."
Lucas
" That is alright with me, your room is the one with the sapphire jewel curtains over the door," {^~ she said nodding to it ~^}
Calvin
"Okay!" Ver soon got settled in, then sat just putside of rhe cave to watch the moons rise and shine down on the snow... Eventually, howver, Ver drifted off, flopped in the snow outside, sleepily dozing peacefully...
Lucas
{^` she came out of her room after a bit, looking around before going outside and tilting her head alittle ~^} " Ver-?" =^~ she said walking over to the dragon before sighing and carefully managing to get her up onto her back, being mindful of her spikes as she brought ver inside to her room ~^}
Calvin
Ver remained happily asleep the whole time, even as she was carried inside, snoring softly...
Lucas
{^~ she layed her down on a soft fur and cloth bed that she had put in the room before, blowing out the candles around the room before leaving to let her sleep ~^}

{^~ she had went out and grabbed some artic fox for them to eat, thinking over if she should cook it for ver or not ~^}
Calvin
Ver was happily exploring and generally enjoying her time in the Ice Kingdom, also making sure to practice her singing!
Lucas
{^~ she decided to store the fox for later before heading out, going to check on who was working and make sure everyone she actually had any mind worrying about was doing alright, eventually stopping and just laying in the snow by the lake, enjoying the cold snow against her scaled as she watched the water move under the ice, randomly clawing at the ice to see the scratch marks her claws left ~^\
Calvin
Once Ver was finished her her morning singing practice and breakfast and all, she happily sat outside, enjoying the view along with the crisp, cold air... She was waiting for Kitti to be done with whatever business she had to do, as Overheat wanted to hang out woth hee new friend more.
Lucas
{^~ she returned after a while, a bag over her shoulders with some fur from her work shop, her scales nearly white at the moment as she had a close call with some falling rocks in the cave and was still alittle shook, ~^}
Calvin
"Hi Kitti!" Overheat waved energetically at the other hybrid, happy to see her friend back safe and sound.
Lucas
" Hello ver, how are you today?' {^` she asked offering the other dragon a smile as she set her bag down ~^}
Calvin
"I'm doing well, thanks! You?" Ver replied, sitting by Kitti.
Lucas
" Pretty good, had a close call with some rocks but I'll be fine, " {^~ she said shaking off slightly to get the little bit of snow off of her ~^{
Calvin
Overheat nodded. "Well, I'm glad you're okay! Got any other plans today...?" She inquired curiously.
Lucas
" Not really- was gonna do some fur work and relax for a bit-"
Calvin
"Sounds good to me!" Ver replied cheerfully with a nod, "I might get something to eat..."
Lucas
" I caught us some artic fox- it's stored away in the kitchen- I didn't know if you would want yours cooked or not so I put it aside "
Calvin
"Oh that's alright!" Overheat trotted off to get some of the fox to munch on in order to sate her hunger. "Thank you!"
Lucas
{^` she went to her room and grabbed some of the other supplies she needed before going to the main room and starting to cut pieces out of the fur ~^}
Calvin
Ver watched curiously, but kept a respectful distance so she didn't annoy or make Kitti uncomfortable
Lucas
" You know, people say that having friends in other tribes can be interesting, do to the differences of how the tribes are raised and the environment they are raised in," {^~ she mumbled, really just rambling, ~^}
Calvin
The hybrid tulted her head slightly. "I totally agree with that. I like going to all the other kingdoms, because i enjoy meeting dragons from different tribes!" She gave Kitti a smile, Ver's tail curling nearly around her talons, which currently had the fur-covered mitts on.
Lucas
" What have you gathered of ice wings since you've been here? " {^~ she asked, putting a quill between her teeth as she pulled some furs together to start sewing them to be one ~^}
Calvin
"Well, they don't seem to be quite so easygoing as other tribes might be, like... Totally different from Rainwings." Overheat said thoughtfully, "But they seem nice enough! I'd just prefer not to accidentally get whacked by one of those tails... The spiky ends look like they'd hurt a lot."
Lucas
" Matters who you accidentally get hit by- or purposely- mine are rather dull ends do to me breaking the tips off during my cave exploration, my dad's are sharp, he uses them to cause injuries when he needs to during work,"
Calvin
Ver nodded slowly. "Still, wpuld rather not be hit by any spiked tails." She stated.
Lucas
{^~ she thought a second ~^} " I wonder how bad it would hurt to be stung by a hive wing or a sand wing- I mean yeah they both have poisonous barbs- but without the poison would it actually hurt more then just a regular claw?"
Calvin
"Well... Probably a lot... I mean they have poison and stuff." Ver said slowly, scrunching up her snout in thought. After a while of relaxing, Ver hesitantly decided that... Well... Maybe she should come clean. Kitti had been a awfully nice and generous to her... Ver was glad to have such a dragon as a friend. "Kitti... Erm... I should probably tell you a bit more about myself, since we're going to be sticking together quite a bit... And you've been super nice and generous too..."
Lucas
{^~ she nodded slightly, tho she didn't have a big reaction like most other dragons would ~^} " If you wish to then you can, I don't mind either way,"
Calvin
Ver sighed. "Sooo... It's kinda complicated. See these earrings? The silver one was my mom's, the gold one was my dad's... When i was younger, mom got really sick." Ver began to explain quietly, "We had medicine which was starting to help her feel better, but then... One night, it hit her real bad, and dad discovered we were out of medicine... He flew out into the dark... In a storm... Trying to get to a healer." Ver glanced off to the side. "He died in the storm... B-But he needed to do it, because... ... ...Mom died in the early morning, and i could only sit woth her and watch..." The dragonet murmured softly with a sigh. "I've been on my own since then."
Lucas
{^~ she looked at her once she was done talking, her scales having a darker blue color as she thought about what to say, never really being to good with reactions that wouldn't make someone upset ~^} " I- I'm sorry to hear that- ... Do you want a hug-? I- I don't really know what to say-"
Calvin
"I mean... I've been able to manage..." She mumbled, before scooting over to Kitti and quietly giving her friend a hug. Ver always got emotional talking or thinking about the past...
Lucas
{^~ she squeezed her lightly before letting go after moment, ~^} " It's okay now- I know it probably still hurts but they are still with you- I don't know what your tribe believes but the ice wings believe that our loved ones who have passed are watching over us- their in the stars- and the northern lights-"
Calvin
Even though Kitti let go, Ver still chose to hug her. After all, well... The hybrid was petty deprived of contact like hugs. "It does still hurt... I don't like to think about it because it just... Hurts so much." She murmured softly.
Lucas
{^~ she rested her head against the others back, ~^} " It's gonna hurt for a while- but it'll get better- my dad is just starting to get better after my mom left us- if it makes you feel better with what happened we can do things your mom and dad used to like doing with you-";
Calvin
Ver sniffled quietly, feeling Kitti's head rest on her back. "I hope so... But it's just never gone away... And I've really been... Afraid of being in a family now, after what happened to my parents... They didn't do anything to deserve what happened..." Ver was a strong dragonet, that much was clear with how much she'd undergone and persevered through, but... She was still just a dragonet, not quite an adult. And she had a looooot of built up pain...
Lucas
{^~ she put her wing around her lightly ~^} " They didn't deserve it- but it's not something that would happen again- they probably don't want you hurting from them being gone now- it's better to remember what happened while they were here other then that they are gone-"
Calvin
Ver bit her lip, snout scrunched up quite a bit, eyes squeezed shut as she tried to keep talking normally. "I-I..." She gave up and fell silent, giving a slight nod in reply to the statement.
Lucas
{^~ she looked at her before holding her a bit tighter ~^} " Don't worry- you don't have to say anything more- just relax- your safe now- your parents are probably proud of how strong you are-"
Calvin
Ver nodded slightly again, feeling a couple tears squeeze out from her tightly closed eyelids, simply just letting Kitti hug her... Truth be told, the hybrid had missed the feeling of being hugged, and cherished the moment, wrapping her wings as well as her arms around the somewhat larger dragon, once again grateful to have Kitti as a friend. "Th-Thank you..."
Lucas
" Not a problem ver- " {™~ she said laying her spikes flat so she could nuzzle the other dragon just slightly, ~^} " Your gonna be okay- I'll make sure of that- "
Calvin
Ver sat quietly for a few moments, then... "...Could we just... Hug for a while-? I've... ... ...I've missed hugs..." She asked softly. The hybrid knew they'd both have to continue on with their day at some point, but she didn't want to have to do that just yet, she needed to calm down a bit more first.
Lucas
" Sure, I don't mind hugs " {^` she said smiling softly, adjusting so she was a bit more comfortable and just holding ver for now, quietly humming something ~^}
Calvin
Ver also adjusted her position slightly to lean more comfortably against her friend, enjoying the gentle hug... After a short while, she began to softly hum too, matching the tune Kitti was humming...
Lucas
{^` she seemed content like this, her tail curled around ver slightly, her scales getting a pink-ish yellow color to show she was happy~^}
Calvin
But Ver knew all good things had to come to an end eventually... "...I should let you get back to your day, and I should probably get around to doing something myself." She said softly with a slight smile.
Lucas
{^~ she giggled letting go of ver ~^} " I have nothing truly important to do today, when ever you need a hug feel free to ask tho- "
Calvin
Ver nodded. "I will..." She murmured, before slowly, reluctantly pulling away from the hug. The hyvrid had quite missed contact like hugs and cuddles, she was reluctant to let it go for now, but she knew she had to. For now.
Lucas
{^~ she watched her alittle, carefully pressing the top of her head to vers shoulder before laying down and going back to her fur work ~^}
Calvin
Ver trotted off to explore a bit more and practice her singing outside a bit, feeling a bit better after opening up a little.
