Gin tilted his head at the human, he didn't know whether or not he was a thief, it was Ramak that had made that assumption... oh well. "You don't look calm." he commented then listened to the person and backed up slightly, although he couldn't move a whole lot due to the fact he was on the side of a tree. "I did not know you were a thief. Ramak thought you were." he said pointing towards the black dragon.
He eyed the piece of bread again, then sniffed at the air, it smelled stale. yuck. He didn't know why that human even bothered trying to eat something like that, raw meat or paint tasted much better.

Ramak grinned innocently, which probably looked like a blood thursty grin to the human, and stretched his large body lazily, " On occassion I catch random thoughts...I cought your thoughts as we flew by and decided to help the other humans...Of corse if you want fresh meat one of us could easily hunt something down..." he said before laying down before the human, wings folded tightly to his body, his large green eyes staring at the human.

The Mouse he for a moment as the little gears in his mind began to crink-crank into motion. Debating wether or not to make a run for it or dare risk to trust these creatures and stay.
They didn't kill me. He thought. And I don't think I can outrun the beasties. On the other hand dragons are cleaver despite their appearance, they could just be toying with. Maybe dragons play with their food before they eat it...Maybe I should take my chance and run.
On the other hand, perhaps the dragons are telling the truth and maybe I could gain something useful from this...
On the other hand...That one dragon said it could read minds and the last thing I want it prying into my brain. Leaning all my weaknesses and it just might want my reward money....On the other hand....
And so it on. During all that one little moment the gears whirled and sputtered, cracked and sponked till it came to a complete stop as the thief made his choice.
"Alright. Just don't make any false moves!" He sighed slowly putting his sword back into it's sheath.
"But you didn't have to take 'my' wine bottle! I stole it fair and square!"
Grumbling to himself, Joth went over to the bread (not liking the way the silver dragon was eyeing it) and picked it up. "Least I got this." He muttered taking a quick bite.

Gin often forgot how neurotic humans were under certain situations... and this one certainly appeared to be amusing, if not maybe a bit confused. He was somewhat surprised when he heard that Ramak could read minds, but considering what many of his friends could do that actually wasn't that huge of a deal... Ginkai's own mind moved much too quickly and erratically to read any meaning from his thoughts, it also seemed to work more in pictures than normal thoughts.
"Vendui munthrek Si'mi Ginkai." He said in a small blur of speech before hopping off of the tree and circling around a few times before landing near-ish to the person... it took a moment for him to realize he had slipped back into draconic to introduce himself, smiling somewhat sheepishly he amended that introduction. "I mean, hello I am Ginkai." he paused as his eyes drifted back to the bread. "What is your name. And why are you eating that?"

Ramak eyed the human with curiousty and withou hesitating took off. His dark eyes traced the ground with swift accuracy. He smirked as he spotted a young buck that was eating a meal of grassy greens.
Grinning the large dragon tucked his wings to his sides and dived down, landing squarely upon the smaller beast, killing it instently. Grabbing the buck's antlers with his claws Ramak shifted his uper body into the air, still holding the buck, and took off once more.
Once he spotted Ginkai and the human he landed and put the buck infront of the small human, " Eat." he said with obveous boredom. Where did Arina run off to? Arina?!?! he called out to his friends with his thoughts for the two had long ago learned to connect their thoughts when needed.
Arina held her head high as her father glared down at her scornfully. " What have you to report?" he said in a cold tone, his dark scales glimmering with a brigtness any human would desire for their jewelry.
Arina quikly relayed what she had learned and then sighed, glancing behind her momentarily, " We also meet another-" she paused as Ramak's thoughts touched her's. Shuttering slightly she shook her head, " I should return to my post." she said and without hesitating jumped onto the balcony that lead to the cave like etrance to the dragon's city.
Arina flew swiftly over the heads of her fellows and did not pause to utter hellos to anyone, moving her body toward Ramak, Ginkai, and the human.

"Joth Bowen," He answered.
"Joth the Mouse as some call me and the reason I am eating this..." He waved the half eaten loaf in front of the Ginkai's face. "Cause I'm hungry that's why and I gotta take what I can get. It's not like good food falls out of the sky..."
Thud!
As if on cue Ramak dropped a dead buck in front of him.
"Whoa..."
The Mouse just stood there dumbstruck for a moment staring wide-eyed at the kill. His mouth watered but he made no attempt to eat it in fact he pointed nervously at the buck and said.
"Uhh...I hope noone saw you do that cause some humans don't take a liking to poachers."
A rather stupid remark, not that the thief was ungrateful but for the fact that he wasn't exactly used to strangers being so charitable towards him.

Ginkai's eyes watched the loaf as it was waved in front of his face, it took all his willpower to keep from leaping back into the air and circling around the human... He was not a dragon that was used to staying still for very long at all. He jumped slightly when the dead deer was dropped there.
"I think food just fell out of the sky." He pointed out with a small smile, then examined the buck... he heard the human mention poachers, but deer weren't endangered were they? maybe they were just not supposed to be eaten around here... oops. "I do not think they will bother us for one deer. Humans dislike confronting dragons." he said then sniffed at the deer again before looking at Joth. "I can cook it. Humans like cooked things." it wasn't really a question, but more of an observation.

The Mouse just merely shrugged. "Be my guest." He said wondering if this Ginkai could actually 'cook.' Well dragons could breathe fire and all this fellow had to do was let out one fiery air burp and poof fresh cooked venison.
And probably do a better job then I would. The thief commented to himself. I always end up burning my meat down to blackened ash.

Ramak nodded very slightly to Mouse but said nothing as Ginkai stated that humans liked their meals cooked. Ramak inturupted at this point, " Don't you usually put some-" he paused in thought, and continued when he couldn't find the word, " Eh-stuff, on your meat?" he asked eyeing mouse with one of his keen eyes.
Just as he let his words out yet another dragon joined them in the small cove, or rather rejoined. Arina scowled as she heard the last few words Ramak had stupidly uttered, "They're herbs and spices Ramak." she shot at him before her purple eyes moved from the slightly surprised Ramak to Ginkai and then the human.
She smiled gently, not using her teeth in such a smile, " I'm Arina...I'm sorry if Ramak has ben bothering you. He was supposed to be with me. " she said as she shot a glare at the male dragon.

Ginkai looked back at the dragon which just rejoined them, he had wondered where she had run off to... Well, he had wondered for a few minutes at least, then had just decided she wanted to be away from them. Herbs and spices? who needed those...
The metallic looking dragon took a deep breath, then exhaled onto the deer, searing and cooking the meat very quickly, having to roll it over to get it all the way done... leaving a sizzling and steaming whole deer there on the ground afterwards. "I was taught how to cook for humans. I did not like it much." he commented then tore off a part and offered it to the human.

"Seasoned or not I don't really care." Said the thief and nodded his head in greetings at Arina.
He had to back away as the silver dragon, Ginkai fried the buck in one enormous air burp and his mouth began to water as the sent of fresh cooked meat hit his nostrils.
It took no second bidding or coaxing for Joth to snatch the offered meat and wolfed it down as fast as he could muttering a 'thank you' somewhere around the forth bite.
This was the fist full meal the thief had eaten in a long time.

Ramak snorted and let a string of smoke escape his mouth as he lay down, keeping his eyes on the entrance of the small clearing, wondering if the scent would attract the group of men who had been fairly unklucky in their fishing.
Letting out a small hum Ramak put his head on the ground waching the opening in the trees with lazy eyes then wondering aloud he turned his head toward Mouse, " So why are you by yourself? Most of the humans I've seen travel in atleast a pair if not more..." he said as he tilted his head.
Arina sat down, narrowing her eyes to watch Ramak, just to be sure he didn't make a fool of himself. For often the male dragon would say something out of ignorance that would bring angry upon him.

The thief swallowed down the last bit of morsel of his meal and wiping his mouth across his sleeve he answered.
"Cause most law fearing folk don't having thieves hanging about them and my good friends needed some time on their own and I’ve uhh...." He paused for a moment then continued. “I’ve been on the run.”

Ginkai eyed the meat for a moment, he had eaten not too long ago but took another chunk out regardless of this fact... He did have a rather fast metabolism after all. Once he was finished eating it, he thought about what the person had said, on the run. Ginkai was always moving, but he wasn't really on the run from anything specific... Well, not usually anyways.
"Why do you steal?" He asked somewhat out of the blue, his mind nearing reality once more rather than exploring his jumbled and random thoughts.

For the first time Joth actually smiled. Or rather gave Ginkai one of his famous cocky little smirks the kind of grins that he often did before getting into mischief.
Now was a good time to boost his superb skills and tell some of his favorite lies! Something that the Mouse did best!
"Oh-ho were to start?" He chuckled as he plopped himself down on the ground and leaned his back against a tree. "Petty things mostly, food for one thing, a few odd trinkets and..."
Joth tapped his feet together gazing fondly at the unmatched pair of boots that he wore. "Someone's left shoe."
He grinned wildly, he told the truth for the first part the dull and boring parts and now here was the fun part. The fabulous fibbing.
"But this..." He waved a hand. "Is all nothing! I may be entitle after a puny little rodent but you are looking at a Mouse that Roared! I've stolen gold and jewels from nobilities, dukes, lords, high families, you name it...I've done it. "
Joth face brighten wondering if these dragons were gullible to fall for his lies.
