`"I never had curry with rice that is something that will be new to me love."`

*He would say with a bright smile his words were trying to sound out the word curry as he never heard it before, as they made it back to the igloo that had been expanded slightly to have the main igloo then hallways into two other ones on either side with equally as much space, it was honestly a great idea.*

`"Then let us have curry! I'm sure akiya will like it to, mhm sorry about before me hiding I got a scared, I don't know well exactly why but my instincts told me to let you handle it."`

*He sighs slightly embarrassed as he held onto bylin when they ascended the mountain.*
Nettie
"Then I'll make some of the best Curry you guys have ever had, I mean to be fair we still have a couple days before we're either going to get an answer or we're going to have to leave anyway, and I want to take the time to sort out the stuff that I got my hands on today." 

*He said with an equally bright smile, firstly from hearing his husband trying to sound out the word Curry was just adorable, but also from the prospect of all the things that he could make with the information that he's gathered, honestly commending the work that is already been done within just a couple days and this igloo has already basically turned into somewhat of a house made out of ice and snow.*

"Believe me you don't need to apologize one bit for hiding behind me, to be honest I was keeping my card up that whole time especially with that lifeless look on his face I didn't know what he was capable of so I'm glad you did the smart thing and didn't try to engage him too much." 

*He would pat eirias on the head with a smile, assuring him that there was no shame in picking your battles.*
Hubert
`"Well we don't need an answer now I say we come back in let's say 2 weeks, it may be cruel for now, but a few days won't cut it to feel the effects of the weather, starvation, dangers that lurk outside the walls of his kingdom, if we do that it is guaranteed we will get the answer we desire what do you think?"`

*He smiles thinking it was a good plan he thought about going in a few days but that would be to soon he believed no need to rush it, he nodded, as he spoke once more.*

`"We could continue to venture the lands, and try to discover more things we can use, there is the dwarves in the mountains, but no one has heard from them in decades anyone that made it to there mountains either say they're abandoned, or overrun by goblins, trolls, and more perhaps we can scavenge there tech or whatever but we would have to be careful looking for dwarves, they are the most advanced in making things that can even harm you even though you are strong and powerful there weapons aren't something to scoff at."`

*He smiles as he had his head pet and he nodded after he was reassured he wasn't wrong for hiding.*
Nettie
"You know you're probably right this is a very delicate situation and it's probably better to have them come to their senses organically then try and rush in along."

*He was nodding his head along but then his eyes would go wide as he heard about the dwarves mountain which might hold equipment and weapons inside that could even harm him, that definitely got his tail swinging like a happy little noodle, as they finally got to the igloo his tail was slapping against the ice and the super wide smile was spread across his face.*

"Oh yeah honey we can definitely give them a few weeks if we're going to be heading in that kind of direction, oh you just made my heart start to dance after that kind of explanation imagine all the stuff that we can find in there not to mention all the materials and reagents~"

*That big toothy grin would suddenly turn into a split between a maniacal laugh and a playful giggle, it was weirdly adorable how into this he was but despite how he looked he definitely had no evil intentions he was just excited.*
Hubert
`"Don't get your hopes, up I won't let you get hurt for anybody the dwarves can get through this thick hide of yours."`

*He gently knocked on his scales with a chuckle and kissed his cheek, as he wanted him to be worried, as being to happy about this he shook his head he wanted him to at least be cautious.*

`"Im glad I made your h art dance however the dwarves are a very reclusive race, untrusting to any and all outsiders if your not a dwarf. Those boom sticks also probably have some dwarven trademark to them, that could give you a little insight to what they may have."`

*He was happy to see bylin this happy, it made his tail wag left to right as he held onto him.*
Nettie
*He would calm down a little bit as he closed the door to the igloo, realizing yes that these dwarves were definitely have weapons that could potentially kill him and the fact that they were so reclusive made it even harder for him to potentially get information out of them but he was still excited.*

"Believe me I understand and of course I would try to win them over through diplomacy and not violence, even a bit of friendly bartering if we had to especially since you already know our kingdom has no need for monetary gain, so if we need to trade money for information and schematics that's perfectly fine, but you're right you let everyone know that we're back I'll stay here and begin working on the food and looking through the mountain of stuff we just got~"

*He said gently kissing his beloved husband on the lips before slowly taking him off of his back and letting him do as he pleases, snapping his fingers as the fire would roar to life, the pots and pans gently floating over the fire as they begin to heat up, and I would sit right next to the fire thinking about meeting these dwarves as my excitement grows ever further.*
Elba
*And marching up the mountain in rather unorganised and messy fashion was a small band of soldiers, if you could even call them that. With a a grim-relaxation and driven on by their drinks, the iron pigs would make their way up and in the distance they could be heard approaching with simple folk and marching songs. They're surprisingly good singers even when singing something depressive*

"For every one that falls, another 10 rise up to take his place!
That's a beautiful sentiment, just as long as you aren't the corpse they replace!
Well who am I to stand in the way of morale, observe my smiling face!
Im told that through my faith I won't die, I'll leave a testament just in case!"

*And not long after, they would be very close by and didn't even notice the group up ahead just yet, bit too carried away and senses dulled with a good ale*
Hubert
*Felt himself being placed down he chuckled, and as the fire place got turned on he moved beside it, and sat down crossing his leg with a smile as he took off his gloves and put his paws near the fire it was getting colder, and now it was starting to effect him slightly, even through his fur, he was still warm but it had a slight cool feeling on his skin he didn't like.*

`"I'm confused a little if we have so many recourses within the cave why don't we start opening a mining section for raw ores and start getting blacksmiths to move into our kingdom to make stuff ourselves and mages so we can make our own things so we don't have to go through the efforts of scavenging again, I really would like to avoid scavenging even though I'm happy we got all those things it would be better to just buy things no? But then again buying things versus how much we can get without having to buy I guess it's the same."`

*He shrugged has he thought soon he would hear voices in the far distance marching up the mountain, he looked to bylin confused and spoke.*

`"People are singing there getting closer to the igloo would you like to check that out? I didn't think anyone would be in these mountains, but where in the sicarals nation I doubt it's the demon lords people perhaps some adventurers or soldiers drunk or something?."`
Nettie
"Admittedly I have no quarrels with starting a mining operation down there, all the raw material that's probably in that cave is probably more than enough than any Kingdom will ever need so the sooner we get started on that the better, and if we can get the help of the dwarves on that even better."

*Peace smiled as in that little amount of time he had already cut up some vegetables and some meat beginning to sear them on the pans before filling the pot with water, but as soon as he was ready to put it all together he heard the marching and voices from outside as well.*

"Yeah I'll go check it out you keep watch for that and make sure it doesn't burn and I'll be right back." 

*He said patting his husband on the head once more before opening up the door to the igloo and stepping out would be this over 7 ft tall very imposing Dragon man with a neutral expression, looking towards the group who is getting progressively closer to the igloo.* 

"Hello down there strange travelers what brings you to this portion of the mountainside?"
Elba
*The platoon of iron pig soldiers look at Bylin, they are surprised at how big he is and they quickly swig some liquid courage so that they feel just a bit braver*

*Bylin would see a collection of poorly equipped soldiers with incredibly bad weaponry and overall is just garbage. Certainly nothing special or professional, band of outcasts and failures. The sergeant, the one most sober, would walk forwards to address Bylin*

"Nice to meet you sir, you aren't one of the demon lord's folks are ya? Would be a shame if you were"

*He asks, ale strong on his breath and he wipes his mess of hair out of his eyes. Meanwhile some of the soldiers go around to approach the igloo, lead by the second in command of the regiment who got herself a broken demon blade, clearly she took it from a battlefield somewhere*
Nettie
"I would not consider myself one of the disciples of the demon Lord no, as a matter of fact I don't know a demon Lord so that's not really something I can address." 

*He lied like he's been doing it his whole life especially considering the fact that he just spoke to the demon Lord not an hour ago, but he kept that piece of information to himself, ignoring the scent of ale on his breath.*

"Uhmmm, I would appreciate it if you guys didn't go close to that igloo it does not belong to you it belongs to me so I would appreciate it if you stayed at least 20 ft away from it."

*He would look at the girls blade seeing that it was incomplete but still having a faint magic signature on it.* 

"Well that's an interesting looking sword?"
Elba
*The sergeant believes him for now and waits, he pats around his body before holding up a search warrant*

"Not for this property exactly but we do got to do our jobs. We won't poke into any private building and before long I can make it back to my sir"

*The 2nd in command nearest the igloo would turn around to address bylin*

"Yeah its something I found on a battlefield, cooks meat pretty well in a pinch"

*And so the rest of them get closer to the igloo, relaxed and just expecting it to be a routine check. Plus if something did happen, could be interesting or it puts them out of their misery*
Nettie
*Looks over the strange piece of paper and realizing it's a warrant to search properties of some kind, but would also see that it isn't exactly for a place like this so he would just back up a little bit and cross his arms.* 

"I'm sorry to say but if that search warrant as you called it doesn't apply to this igloo I'm not letting you in, I'm sorry but that's just not how I do things, I'm sorry if that's upsetting but that's just how it is." 

*He kept looking back towards the igloo, frowning in a little off put by these people just surrounding the igloo especially when they seem to be like bandits, so he would take a deep breath before blowing a frosty mist towards the ground like dragon's breath, causing a wall made out of ice to appear around the outer edge of the igloo, making it thick enough that they couldn't stab through as he didn't trust these people one bit.*

"I have asked you nicely to please stop in circling that igloo, if you want something you could just ask?"
Peggy
*Walks out of the igloo after hearing the commotion going on outside she had her hand placed on her sword she wasn't to keen on filthy humans talking to her king like some commoner.*

`"What's this, no one will step inside this place or come in it, I care not for who you people are, who are these people bylin they look like some ragtag mercenaries?"`

*She would examine there garbage equipment and weaponry.*
Elba
*The sergeant would just look at bylin's face, as if he's trying to figure something out. 

He reaches for his sword and then he stops all of a sudden, his face just turning back into his pleasant smile*

"Well if you don't trust us to examine your property for illegal arms and armour then we could send for an official witch hunter to come and search as they'll be sure to have the warrants to do so. We both win, I keep on with my buisness and you get a trusted official public member. I'm sure they'll do a thorough investigation... Better than mine at least, I'm hardly sober to be honest"

*He turns back to his men and snaps his fingers, getting his men back together. And away from the igloo*

"Bylin your name was? Sounds familiar from somewhere. You sure we didn't rub elbows in a bar once eh?"
