Artimer started searching for the beast. Its scent still hung pretty heavily where it had attacked Clairissa. He followed the rail, by turning into an anthropomorphic form, using the more enchained sense of smell the longer snout provided. He was able to find it sooner then he though possible,<span style="font-style: italic">I guess this happens when you have a ton of energy to spend, when you can't spend it doing what you want to do,[i/] he thought to himself. He was not used to having to court the female he wanted. Hell he was used to the dragonesses of his clan falling for him the first time he flashed his charming smile at them. <br/><br/>Clairissa, she was making him work for it. He was not sure how much longer he would be able to hold back and go at her own pace. He hoped he would get a few points for trying as hard as he was so far. With her he did not want to be a perv, he wanted to be all she wanted, all she needed. He was falling in love with her and he feared it was because of the bond. In all his memories, to the dragon once the bond started they fell for their rider like no one ever thought possible. Some times the rider would fall just as hard, other times it was a professional experience, where the human had a family of his or her own, and the dragon the same, though longing for the families to be united.<br/><br/>He sighed as he twirled Clairissa's sword in his hands. What to do, what to do. He had watched as Clairissa had gotten ready for bed removing her pants while under the blankets. When he looked into her eyes through his little "spy" he knew it was not any kind of tease, she was tired and a little cranky. [i]"this is not and invitation for you to join me under these covers</span>Artie." only proved his thought.<br/><br/>He was going to go for a jog. Sliding her sword into the bag of holding he ran the perimeter several times, each time going just a little faster. He had to expend the pent up energy before he went to sleep otherwise he just may wake up having done something he just might regret. When he returned to the camp he was breathing hard and back in his human form. He felt exhausted and ready for sleep. He returned his twin blades to his side and pulled out her sword and quietly placed it next to her. Then changing into his full dragon form he warmed the already charged floor where he slept before to sleep.
