"Goddammit, you cut my hand. That really hurts. Also, I'm going to get kicked out of my house for this," she said with a groan. "Gods, I'm going to get kicked out of my village for this," she said, absentmindedly ripping a piece of cloth off her shirt to wrap around her hand.
"Lovely. That sounds like a you problem. Now, leave unless you wish to have more than your hand injured." Kono fully shifted back into a dragon and turned away to lay on the coins again, keeping a close eye on Gemini.
"Okay, but what if I just took like… one coin? Just one singular coin?" She asked, leaning against the wall. "Did you cut my side, too? Oh, my gods, this is just - " she muttered a few curses under her breath, standing up and heading for the exit. "Thanks for the… entertainment, I guess."
Kono growled quietly and made sure she didn't steal anything on the way out. While the girl was irritating, she was interesting enough. Perhaps he wouldn't hate it if she made a reappearance someday… But for now, he nestled himself back into his pile of coins while Gemini returned home to likely get medical help and tell of her adventures.
Gemini immediately flopped to the ground next to her horse, Applesauce. "I think I'm dying," she wheezed to her. Applesauce stared at her blankly. "Yes, well, your life isn't all that interesting, either, Miss Applesauce," she said in response. "Ok, so the plan is to camp out here until I either decide to go back in, or die, got it?" She asked eyes fluttering shut. After a moment she snapped them back open. "Ok, ok, I need… water? Do I have any medicine, or… no? Why the HELL didn't I bring medicine? Am I actually stupider than I thought? Is that even possible?" She muttered to herself, rooting through Applesauce's saddlebags.
Kono heard Gemini rambling to herself about something, which was a bit annoying, but not unbearable yet. He buried his head in the coins in hopes that it would block out the girl's voice, which was unsuccessful, of course. He couldn't see her from where he was, but her habit of talking to herself pretty much kept him in the know at all times.
Gemini eventually found some medicine and applied it to her arm and side. After a moment it started to sting like crazy. "OW, son of a motherf - no, no, I'm good. OW," she saw a few birds fly away, startled at her sudden yelp. She leaned up against Applesauce, who kicked her. "What the FUCK, Applesauce, I'm dying here!" She shook her head, clutching her ribs. "This is so stupid."
Kono sighed as Gemini kept yelling to herself. He roared loudly as his way of telling her to shut up without the ability to speak, at least not in this form. His roar shook the cave and the ground nearby, startling Gemini's horse.
"I'M DYING OVER HERE, COULD YOU GIVE ME A MOMENT, PLEASE?" She roared back as she fell into the dirt. For a moment, she lay there, stunned. Then, without a moment's hesitation, she promptly fell asleep.
Thank god… she fell asleep. Or died. I really don't care either way. Kono moved to lay in front of the entrance while he slept so no one could get in. He didn't figure Gemini could try anything in this condition, if she was even alive, but he couldn't take any chances.
(D'you wanna time skip? Also, I might have to leave soon, really sorry!)
(Yeah sure, and that's fine it's actually like four a.m. for me XD)
(OMG SLEEP also, whenever you feel like it, could you post the starter, because I just - have no creativity atm)
(Sleep is for the weak qvq and sure)
Kono woke up early as usual and half shifted, walking through the tunnel to see if Gemini was alive or awake. He sat at the entrance of the cave, watching carefully.
(What time is it for you btw?)
(Like 1:30 lol)
Gemini groaned, sitting up and looking around. Oh, I'm still here, she thought to herself, taking an apple out of her saddle bag and tossing it in the air. It took her several minutes to notice the dragon in the entrance of the cave. "Creep," she muttered, sitting up against Applesauce.
Kono went back into the cave once he was sure that Gemini was alive, fully shifting into a human and sitting down quietly. He was still tall in this form, but not an unusual height for humans. He sighed softly, examining a coin. He had a tendency to get bored and brooding when there was no one to fight or anything.
Once Gemini finished her apple, she brushed herself off, grabbed her sword, and walked into the cave. "Can I have some treasure now?" She asked, bored. "Cause I'm pretty sure I'm going to die if I fight you again, and I'd rather not do that just now."
Kono looked over his shoulder and growled, despite only being in human form. He was actually quite attractive in his human and semi human forms, the latter he soon switched into. He flared his wings out, still glaring at Gemini.
"Okay, listen, I know you don't like me, and frankly, neither do I. But I really need this, so maybe you could just let me have some gold and I'll leave you alone and stop being annoying," Gemini suggested hopefully.
"But it is my duty to protect this gold." Kono said quietly, still eyeing Gemini with a great deal of distrust. "Why should I trust you? Why do you want to take my gold?"
"I feel like we've been over this," Gemini said, exasperated. " I need it because my family and probably my entire village is going to kick me out and/or drown me for being a witch if I don't get any gold, " she explained patiently, crossing her arms.
(I must sleep!)
(Night)
"Again, why should I trust you? Many others have come in with similar stories, and they were lying. They received nothing from me, of course." Kono's tail swished through the coins, jostling them.
(Bump)
