“Don’t ask why I changed my mind, just take it and go.” Aeron turned his back, walked a few steps and shifted into his dragon form, deciding he needed to fly. In a simple flap of his wings he was off into the night.

Olivia looked up and smiled "Thank you" She whispered. she ran back home only to see her father waiting for her on the porch, "Olivia." he said clenching his fists. She stepped back "F-father, I thought y-you were a-asleep?" she stuttered. "You disobeyed my orders." he simply said "I got us some g-gold though," she replied holding out the bag. Her father slapped her "I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO!" he roared. He took the bag of gold from her hands. Olivia held her cheek, crying. She thought her father would be glad. She turned around and ran back into the forest, climbed a tree, and started crying

Aeron flew for a while, enjoying the wind kissing his face. Soon he picked up the sound of crying and the very faint smell of salt. He circled the area looking for someone.

Olivia couldn't stop thinking about the slap, her cheek still stung and as the cool night air blew on it

Aeron landed in a small clearing, shifted and followed the scent of salt. when the smell was strongest by a tree, he looked up and saw the girl from before, “I thought I told you to go home?”

Olivia wiped her face wincing when she touched her cheek, "Oh sorry, i usually come to this tree to get away." she said quietly trying not to sniffle

Aeron climbed up and sat next to her, “what’s your name?”

"Olivia, Olivia Arlow but you can call me Via." she mumbled. She looked up and tried to find her favourite constellation: Libra

“Olivia… I’m Aeron.”

"Nice to meet you." she said then jumped down from the tree. She walked to the river a few feet away and got a drink

“Why are you out here?” Aeron followed her.

"The reason i asked for money, turned out to be an oppressed reason. My father slapped me for asking you for help." she laughs bitterly "Now, he will use up all the money for our debts, and i will get no thanks."

“Oh, I’m sorry about that.”

"Don't be, it isn't your fault." she sighed "I love the Libra constellation, my mother loved it too." she said softly looking up at the sky

“Virgo is my favourite…” He sighed, “Why didn’t your father want you to come ask me for gold?”

"He hates that the dragons get to work while he is denied even selling papers, he also hates asking for help. I don't understand why he hates me though." her eyes filled with tears again "Ever since mother died, he's never talked to me the way he used to, always laughing."

“I’m sorry to hear that…” Aeron said, gently.

"It's fine, do you have any knives or daggers?" she asked looking up at him

“Well, I might. I don’t tend to need them with me being a…” He sighed and hung his head, “A dragon..” he said quietly.

"Can I use them?" she asked eager to use her pent-up anger on a unsuspecting tree

He nodded, “Wait here.” He summoned his wings, starting to feel very drained from using his power and quickly flew to his cabin. He rummaged trough some old drawers before he found two, golden hilted blades. He flew back, made his wings disappear and handed them over before sitting on the ground, panting a little.

Olivia looked at him then at the blades he doesn't even know me and yet he gave me these knives to use? She sighed then walked towards his cabin(?)

(They could walk back to the cabin?)
After Aeron had caught his breath, he followed Olivia back to his cabin.

Olivia turned to face him "Where is the steak i gave you?" she asked (maybe he could be offended ad give it to her in anger although she was going to make food because he looked drained)

(Okie)
“Over there,” He said, waving a shadow around the meat bringing it to his hands, “If you wanted it back you could have just asked..” He said, giving the steak back to Olivia and opening the door to his cabin.
