Arkain just relaxes in the sand letting Marcus rest against him. His energy level is pretty low so there isn't much more he can do. Besides he likes the affectionate way he treats Emerald and the way he tells the story about himself.<br/><br/>He chuckles and nods. "Oooh yea, I do understand what you mean. My tail has some special abilities that have gotten me out of a number scrapes." His tail comes up over his shoulder and nuzzles his cheek with the tip of his tail. HE reaches up and rubs it tenderly.<br/><br/>He nods with interest listening to you while you continue. He watches you unbuckle your jacket. He nods seeing the tattoo of a salamander. He chuckles when you poke it several times and it moves away looking rather annoyed.<br/><br/>Arkain looks back at you when you tell them about. He nods listening to you tell him about Ranmyaku. He perks up when Emeral asks if he can hear us. He chuckles at your answer. "I am glad you didn't destroy him. You two seem to have worked out living together.  I can see now why you didn't want me to make a connection with him. He would enjoy taping into my energy."<br/><br/>He thinks deeply for a minute. "I wonder what would cause the air currents to be disrupted like that." THen he laughs shaking his head. "Of course. The fire serpents." He sets up some and points to the read when their ship landed. "A huge air ship, sheeeesshh, it was massive. I have never seen anything so big, landed here. Hundreds of heavily armed dragons excited the ship. It seemed they were chasing a much smaller ship that I think they caused to crash here. They seemed to be hunting them along with a couple other friends. They were quite intimidating.  These soldiers were heavily protected with flame throwers and heavily armored." He pauses and his head dips the memories starting to flash back.
