"True enough, though I've heard of some that seem to manage to avoid death..."
She twitches slightly as he licks her ear; apparently she's a bit ticklish there.
"Hungry? Ah... no, I think I'm alright," she replies, avoiding looking at the rock pile. "Three?" she glances at him, slightly puzzled, and trying to place what that would refer to."

He smiles ever so slightly "You said that I was the only dragon you knew, Although I knew four that lived, last we met." he says with a nod to her, before walking back to the rock pile and beginning to climb back up to where he had been perched earlier. "So which path do you follow, or atleast try to? do you fear death, Face it, seek it or ignore it?" he asks casually, not bothering to face her when he does.

"Ah... I see." She attempts not to think to hard about his response. I hope to remain one of the three left, she thinks to herself, repressing a shiver.
"I attempt to face death. No point in fearing the inevitable, and no point in denying its existance, either. And you?" she asks, though she's fairly sure she knows the answer.

He sits down atop the pile of rocks once more before looking back down to her with a small smile, It doesn't make him look any more pleasant though. "You should know, Dear meat." he says in as nice a voice as he has managed before, Although it almost sounds worse than when he was not trying."I seek, to create death." he says with a small chuckle, since she apparently wanted to hear him say it even though she had known the answer.

"I assumed as much," Querryth replies. Why am I still here? she wonders to herself, not for the first time. Perhaps I do have a death wish...
"And apparently, you are rather good at doing so," she adds, a touch wryly.

He watches her for a moment then nods "Thank you," he motions with one hand to next to him "Would you care to join me? it is abit warmer up here." he says with a small smile, a rather unpleasant one at that. he sounds like he wants her to.

She hesitates, unwilling to go closer to the suspicious rock pile. She steps slowly towards it, sniffing the air uncertainly, and stops at the base of it. Then, she takes a few tentative steps up it, careful not to lose her footing, but does not venture all the way up, and instead stops, hesitating once more.

He tilts his head at her then chuckles "Don't worry neither it nor I will bite." he says as he shakes his head, seeming to find her hesitation amusing, Although her hesitation is definitly warranted... There is a strong smell of blood coming from it, and though she could probably not see it from her position some slightly fresh blood had spilled out from underneath the rocks and pooled in the old river bed.

She continues the climb, shaking her head and hissing slightly at the scent of blood, and the sight of the blood once she can see it. Normally, blood would not bother her, but in this case...
She gets to the top, and decides that it probably is best not to look down at all, and looks farther out over the dry land instead, at some point on the horizon.

He smiles at her then seems to hesitate slightly when he notices that he had left a small smear of blood on her earlier, then reaches out and rubs it off with the back of his hand "Ah, so hard to tell the blood from my skin sometimes." he says with a chuckle adding as an afterthought "Although my claws are red naturally many said they were stained with blood." he says as he shifts his gaze back up to her eyes.

She regards him for a moment, before looking back out over the seemingly dead land. "Perhaps it is not that far off though?" She smiles slightly. She looks at her claws for a moment. "They're dark enough that they stay relatively clean, which works for me..."

He grins at her then chuckles slightly "I suppose if they had been another color than they would be red by now..." he says sounding rather amused at the thought. "I was wondering, You seem like a rather docile creature to me... Have you ever killed one of our kind before?" he asks in a casual tone, flicking afew rocks off the top of the pile infront of him as he looks away, possibly trying to find what she was looking at earlier.

"Killed?" She glances at him. "No, I have never killed another of our kind. Injured, yes, but not killed." She pauses, pondering. "And yes, for the most part, I am a fairly docile creature. I have my moments, as everyone does, where docile may not describe me." She smiles wryly. "Though I can't precisely claim to be all that threatening."

He laughs slightly, shaking his head "Ah, yes I suppose you were after my blood when we first met, atleast for a moment." he grins as he looks back over at her, looking like he was trying to decide something... As always the feeling present in his eyes gave the idea that he was pondering killing her, although he did say he wouldn't awhile back... "I still find it strange that you stay near me, It would seem you either have a death wish or actually beleive that I won't hurt you... It is interesting..." he moves one hand over to block the sun from his eyes as he watches her, still seeming as if he were thinking about something unpleasant..

She regards him. "Well, during our first meeting, my attempt at fleeing wasn't precisely effective." She pauses, something in her eyes flickering slightly. "Often, to flee will only bring death more quickly." She looks away, and snorts lightly. "I don't know what to think of you, or why I stay. I'm fairly certain that I don't have a death wish." She looks back at him. "But I don't doubt your ability to... injure me, I know quite well that you could, easily, if you wanted to. Nor do I believe that I'm entirely safe here." She grows quiet for a few seconds. "So I can't precisely give any sort of good reason as to why I'm still here."
