<strong>Name:</strong>Vainrence the Shadow<br/><strong>Current Form:</strong>Draconic<br/><strong>Players Nearby:</strong>Xynoqsezoia<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Coastline<br/><br/>As Noqs moved, at first Vain was caught slightly by surprise, his neck craning backwards although at the purring sound echoing from the female he found himself leaning even further forward than he had been in response.  It was a more than ......fascinating  sound, and the way the male Amethyst leaned his long neck closer, to hear it better of course, meant he was nearly in a perfect position for Noqs' vigorous shaking to send sand cascading all over him.   Growling low in his chest, Vain' mental response to the female was in an amused tone, albeit one that carried more than a little challenge as well.<em>"So you say, Lady Noqs.  I shall have to remember your advice the next time my belly itches.  And your remedy for clinging sand as well."</em>Dropping back onto all fours as well, Vain took a few steps to place him along side his fellow color, closer to the blue water than he had been before.<br/><br/><em>After all, you make an excellent point, and I make it a point to listen to good advice.   Not follow it often mind you, but I do listen.</em>Vain laughed, half because of his own lame joke, and half because a second later he was buffeting his wings downward, sending great cascades of sand shooting out in either direction and lifting the male dragon a few feet off the ground, enough for him to make a somewhat ungainly leap/swoop/watery crash landing that sent water spilling high up onto the beach.  Once he was in the water, Vain rolled over several times, dislodging most of his sand and sending the fish fleeing in all directions.  Once his rolling was done, he breached the surface once again with a great gust of breath before turning back to the beach with a decidedly cheeky look (for a dragon) on his face.<br/><br/><em>Come now, Noqs, you aren't going to let me swim alone are you?</em>He asked, that challenging note even more obvious in his tone.<em>Unless you</em>like<em>being sandy that is.   In which case I could climb back out and help.</em>Vain was having a good time of it, a surprisingly good time considering his frequent problems with other dragons, and he was more determined than ever to make the best of it.  Rolling half over again, Vain floated belly up, keeping one dark violet eye trained on the beach to see what his newest companion was going to surprise him with next.
