“Huh…well that’s a surprise.” They said to themselves, getting out of an attack stance, to a more casual position. As Nightfall hadn’t really said any full sentences, it seemed that they didn’t realize that they could understand each other.
Nightfall tilted her head when the creature appeared peaceful. She sat up, now at her full height(again, full grown lion size). She relaxed her wings and looked curiously at the pink gem on the scavengers chest. She gently touched it with one claw. "What is this thing?" She muttered to herself.
It seemed somewhat curious about the dragon that loomed in front of them. The stone gave a soft ‘tink’ upon contact of her talon. They looked a little uncomfortable by this sudden intrusion of space, and tried to keep a frown from her face. Though they seemed taken aback by the beast’s ability to speak. “Um..That’s my gem….?” She chuckled with a slight nervousness to it.
She sensed the scavengers uneasiness and lowered her talon. "Where did you get it? I've never seen a gem like this."
“…I was made with it. I’ve had it all my life…?” She answered, calming down almost instantly as Nightfall took her claw off.
Huh? "What do you mean made with it?" She asked, confused. "You mean…it was given to you?"
She shook her head, “No, I said what I said. I was made with it. It’s mine, and me.” She replied simply.
"Seriously? It's part of you?" Nightfall said, astonished. "Whoa…" She stiffened at the sound of another voice calling out to the pink thing.
(Wait, what other voice?)
(Uh..Amethyst…aren't you being Spinel? Also, why do you keep saying 'they'?)
“Yep, we all have one!” They said proudly, holding their hands behind their back while rocking on their feet.
(Because Spinel hasn’t introduced herself yet, and I want to change the pronoun words so it’s not just she/her. And Amethyst hasn’t said anything in a while)
(Oh…ok.)
"That's…amazing…" She said, then stretched her wings. Her pale blue wings and the white scales on her body catching the sunlight, and reflecting sparkles on the trees and plants around her, and making the pink scavenger look even more sparkly.
“I guess so.” She shrugged, not seeming at all phased. “Your wings are pretty glitzy.” She pointed out, looking as fascinated by Nightfall as she was of her, though, with less communication of such.
"Yeah." She thought back to the rainforest, and her mother.
“So….What’s your name?” The odd looking scavenger asked, “I’m Spinel.”
"I'm Nightfall." The dragon responded. "Nice to meet you."
“Huh, Nightfall. That’s a weird name, I like it.” Spinel chuckled, looking pretty happy. “It’s swell to meet you too.”
“Huh, Nightfall. That’s a weird name, I like it.” Spinel chuckled, looking pretty happy. “It’s swell to meet you too.”

"Spinel's a pretty cool name too." Nightfall said, stretching(the same way a cat would).
“Heh, thanks. Say, you should meet Amethyst, she’s the best!” She said, standing back to give Nightfall some space.
