Mara exited the building and it felt natural to be on a dragon, and now she wanted to know what he could do. "Sorry for being so mean to you." Rubbing his neck she looked to Aurelius and smiled. "Lead the way."

Robin sighed and decided to go visit the apothecary to see if anything useful could be bought or sold.

Aurelius first led her out towards the home she had picked. He had Nox land on the cobblestone street in front of it.
"So here's your house," he said, "You've got a key, yeah?"
Aurelius strode closer to the large doorway, which was easily large enough to fit even a bigger dragon.

"I do. Thank you." Mara jumped off of Riven and unlocked the door to her new home. As soon as the door opened, the smell of dust was overwhelming. Mara would definitely have to do a deep clean. Not being able to hold back her excitement, her body start to jump up and down.

Aurelius' gaze swept up and down over Mara.
"Ever had your own home before?" he asked, "You seem pretty excited over there."

"Ah no, I shared with a room with my sister and our childhood friend" moving on to the kitchen she looked around. "But we lived in a hut with two beds. My sister only stayed some times, it was mostly just me and my friend." Mara had no idea how to cook, but there must be a book on it.

"Well, I'm sure you'll like it here," Aurelius replied, "If you want to change living arrangements later- for example, if you find a friend or romantic partner you want to move in with- all you have to do is let them know."
He took a few strides across the floor and opened the bedroom door.
"Everything is furnished, though of course you're free to decorate and change it however you'd like."

Mara's face heated up and turned slightly red at the mention of a romantic partner. She did think about that once before, but her Hope's were crushed when-. Shaking her head, she tried to get rid of any thoughts about that. "Thank you. You and your village are very kind."

Aurelius laughed. "We try to be. I'm not sure if it's out of the goodness of their hearts, or that they don't like people leaving, as our numbers are so few. But hospitality and kindness are important here nonetheless. There are flaws, of course, but I don't think any society is perfect."

"No society is perfect." Mara chuckled. She would definitely like to see a perfect society though, but she knew that would never happen. "Anyway, do you have any books on cooking? I would like to practice."

"Not personally, no. My mom taught me how to cook, and I never really needed one. But um… I'm sure there's someone who has one around here, or if not, the library should have some you can borrow," Aurelius replied.

"Hm, guess I'll have to look in the library the." Running a finger across the counter, she realized just how dirty it was. "I should clean." Riven had been taking a nap in the living room, since it was warm and big enough for him to fit. "Again, thank you."

Aurelius nodded. "No problem. I can help you tidy up some if you want, or if there are any cleaning supplies you need to borrow, just let me know."

"I wouldn't mind a little help. The more people the faster it will get done." Mara smiled and threw a rag Aurelius's way. The faster this is done the faster she can take a nap. With everything that happened today, Mara was mentally and physically exhausted.

Aurelius fumbled around to catch the rag.
“Yeah, sure! No problem.”
He smiled at her and started working to wipe the dust off of the kitchen table and chairs.

"How old is this house? It seems like nobody's lived here for years. She ran her rag down one of the doors exposing how beautiful it truly is. "What's you story?" She whispered and continued to clean.

“Most of these houses are older than I am,” Aurelius said, “The last person who lived here was one of our fighters-for-hire, but he’s been dead for years now.”
He gave a long pause before saying, “You really want to know my story?”

"I've always liked a good story." She moved across the floor to the couch and sat. Legs and arms crossed and a smile on her face. "So start from the beginning."

“I wouldn’t say it’s a good story, but it is a story,” he replied.
Aurelius sat down in one of the chairs he had cleaned.
“I was born here to Cassia Runesong. She was a writer and also worked at the library. My father, Drusus, was a hunter. Growing up, I was kind of small, and I never learned to be a great fighter, even though I really tried. But I was really good with dragons, so I was trained to take care of them.”

(I kinda forgot about this, sorry.)
"Hm, I wish I had your life." Mara laughed and sat next to him. "How did you meet your dragon?" Her eyes sparkled with curiosity. If she didn't know something, then she wanted to learn. That included people. Being locked up since a child made her not have much personal space.

“I grew up with Nox. She was my mother’s dragon, and my mum hatched her from an egg that was abandoned in the woods by some hunted dragons,” Aurelius explained, “We’re almost like siblings.”

Robin touched Isolde's nose and watched her perk up at the sign of a threat. She laughed and started to make her way towards the market to gather things for her medicines. After paying for the last item, she made her way to the edge of town where a beautiful field of wildflowers was.

"For me, I never wanted to be a dragon trainer. They were basically dead the day they were born. It was unfair." Mara was glad she escaped. Hopefully now she could start a new life. Looking to the left, Mara saw Riven sleeping on the ground. He really was beautiful. "Um, don't you think Riven's wings are a bit small. Will they grow out?"

“Can he fly?” Aurelius asked softly, “He looks mostly mature at this point. Then again, he’s pretty different from the local dragons.”

"I mean, I'm not sure." She looked over at Riven. It was true he wasn't normal, but was there anything special about him? Was he going to be a burden to her. She sighed and laid her head on her hand. "Sorry, I'm not usually down."
