Elizabeth was about to reply to Aleksey, when abruptly he'd been yanked from her grasp. "Aleksey!" She shrilly shrieked for him, almost immediately patting the walls for a light switch of any kind, completely and utterly panicking until she heard his voice again. Letting out a deep sigh of relief, she turned towards his voice and slowly moved to walk closer, following the sound of his voice with her hands out in front of her.<br/><br/>She was positive she had to be close, but abruptly she ran right into something and tripped, yelping slightly in surprise, but before she could fall something had supported her, strangely soft as if having fur. When she opened her eyes that had, on reflex, closed tightly, she almost screamed but was stuck there. The large creature's head was what was supporting her- The two green eyes staring right into her own green eyes, wide and frightful. Though without words being needed- Her fright soon passed. The look from those large, great big green eyes wasn't a threatening one that wished harm. Instead it looked as though an emotion someone would gain when playing with a child- And before she knew it she was softly being nudged to stand correctly. She couldn't see very well, at all, but she could hear the movement of the large creature, shifting from where it'd previously been with it's great whip-like tail swishing behind it, moving around in a circle first around Aleksey then around herself, pausing there as it inspected her over as if to ensure something.<br/><br/>When standing there and being inspected, Elizabeth slowly held a hand in front of her palm up, and had a small ball of fire appear for a bit of light. And for half a second, she was able to marvel at the sight of the large dragon-like creature, before it's strong breath blew that fire right out, furthermore ruffling back her hair. She didn't try to make the fire come back. Instead she burst into a fit of giggles and laughter for a reason she didn't even know, feeling as if she'd been tickled which must've been the point of it for the next movement the dragon made was to curl around her a bit closer, this time rubbing it's head against the back of hers gingerly as a cat would rub against an owner's leg. But there was abrupt movement, and the dragon was face to face with Aleksey again. He let out a purposeful breath against Aleksey's face to ruffle his hair back just the same- Granting him the specific need so he could be heard, before the large creature was close to Elizabeth once more, a deep, almost booming voice from the depth of it, speaking, "You've gotten so big.. Your grandmother will be pleased."<br/><br/>Elizabeth blinked, and if she wouldn't have been so sure she would've called herself crazy that the darkness seemed to be lifting. Not completely, but now she could see where Aleksey was, and she could more clearly point out how the dragon was curled around her, not so much face to face as he was simply rubbing against her arms and head in various spots as if to get a feel of her in a way- Like a really<span style="font-style: italic">big</span>cat.<br/><br/>And soon she was giggling again at the fur from the beast's muzzle that rubbed against her cheek tenderly, before the deep voice came again, directed towards Aleksey now in a protective and cautious manner. "Who are you, wolf?"
