"Want to do it tonight before the sun goes down?" I asked "I still have to wash clothes and get caught up on chores," I said rubbing the back of my head. "Speaking of washing clothes I should probably do it while all the dragons are gone," I said getting up "I will leave it up to you if you want to watch or join me, I have to wade in the river while in short while I wash the clothes," I explained as I went inside and grabbed he basket and a pair of shorts to put on once I get there.

I nodded, "That sounds good." I then followed him thinking it over before speaking, "Ill watch for now." I wanted to help but i had a feeling another cold water source wouldnt be good for me so i decided to just watch. Besides i might be able to help with something eles, i told myself. Blue was right behind me again as i followed Tobey and it made my heart happy. I had the two boys i loved more than anything with me. As we passed my room i quickly grabbed my dirty clothes as well as my cloak so i could keep warm and caught up with Tobey. Once we got to the river i handed my clothes to Tobey and asked, "Please?" With my cutest smile.

"Sure," I said taking her clothes "But the water is warmer in the waterfalls at the bottom, it will help open up your lungs and clear out your system," I said "I'm guessing you showered under the cold water, and not the warm," I said with a small laugh leading her to that falls that I do all my cleaning in. The walls slowly turned into the rock as we went deeper into the ground, the air got warmer and more steamy as well. I removed all the bloody clothes from the basket. "I always remember my mother telling me never to wash bloody clothes in warm water, the warm water just makes the clothes absorb it. I will wash these somewhere else so they don't get stained." I paused for a moment pulling out my shorts and taking my shoes off. "Would you mind turning around for a second?" I asked with a light blush on my face. the only thing illuminating the room was the crystals on the walls that produced light so it was considerably dark. (Example link)

I wanted to defend myself so bad but i held my tongue as i followed him. As we went deeper and deeper under ground it got warmer and warmer. At some point i had to take of my cloak. When i saw the crystals my eyes went wide as i looked around. I barely heard Tobey talking to me. I then turned to him, after i had a sufficient look. I slightly blushed, nodded and turned around, keeping my eyes on the beautiful crystals. Meanwhile Blue was running around all over the place, sniffing every crystal. It was honestly very funny to watch him. "This place is beautiful." I breathed

I quickly changed into my shorts, "alright you can look now," I said as I grabbed the clothes that didn't have blood on them. I waded into the water and took a tool off the wall and started scrubbing the clothes against them to get the dirt out. "If you want there is a shower around the corner out of my sight and you can take a hot shower to help your lungs," I offered as I washed clothes with my back to the area I was talking about. I sat and thought as I washed clothes, many things went through my head. It was mostly things about what would I say to them and has anything changed.

I will leave it up to you if you want to do a time skip after your part

I turned around with a smile before following Tobey to the edge of pool thingy. I glanced toward the direction Tobey was talking about. I thought about it for a second before nodding, "Alright." Me and Blue made our way to the shower. The warm shower felt nice and Blue even almost fell asleep as the warm water ran down his scales. I couldn't help but laugh as he sleepily glanced up at me as i got out of the shower.

I handed Tobey a bowl of chili before sitting down beside him and eating mine. It was almost time to go now but i had quickly made a meal for us. Blue had stayed long enough to get everything ready before running off at the sound of his mates call. The nice warm chili was almost as nice as the shower i had taken. "You seriously have to teach me how to make something sometime." I said smirking at Tobey. "I really want to learn! And it can be an easy thing like a blanket or something!"

"I would probably have to show you how to stitch first, then I can show you how to make something," I said as I enjoyed the chili. I loved her food even though I had only had it for 2 nights. I savored it before I went over to my armor and started putting it on. I tightened everything making sure it still fits, "How are you going to get there?" I asked her "because King is an extremely rough and aggressive flyer, and he doesn't have a saddle to hang onto and only handles. That and when I have to land on the cliffs of the island it is an entire routine when we land and you have to stay moving at all times,"' I explained

I did a little victory dance in my mind when he said he would teach me to stitch and then to make something. Once both of us were done i got the bowls and got up. I was about to walk out of the room when i heard Tobey talking. "I honestly haven't thought of that....But Blue isnt ready to fly yet...." I said turning to him, bitting my lip. Even though i wanted him to go meet his family i didn't want him to go by himself. "Is your routine hard? And would King even let me on his back?" I said realizing he had missed a strap. While still talking i subconsciously tightened the strap for him. When i had fixed it i realized what i did. I slightly blushed as i took a step back. "Sorry...." I mumbled before i began pacing the room, trying to think of something.

"I guess the better question is can you climb up cliffs?" I asked "Because I ride King from a standing position and when he goes from horizontal to vertical so he can get a grip on the cliff, I have to bend down when he is at the midpoint and rest my feet on some of his saddle spikes and grip others with my hand. Then after that, I have to climb up his back and climb up the side of the cliff that overhangs the shoreline," I said worried "I hope that all makes sense,"

I rubbed my hurt arm as he said rock climbing. Could i? My arm was feeling better after cleaning it but it still wasnt fully recovered. My side was healing up nicely but my head still hurt every time i did some moments. I debated it over and over in my mind. Could i? It had been forever since i trained, and on an unfamiliar dragon? After a minute or two i came up with something: i couldnt let Tobey go alone. I turned to Tobey with a smile, "Is there anything i cant do?" I then paused for a second and spoke again, "Dont actually answer that", i said grabbing my amor and cloak. I knew this was going to be an extreme challenge, harder than i had ever done. I quickly put my amor on and threw my cloak on top of me.
