Post by Ladon on Sept 7, 2017 4:22:04 GMT
It was another day. Ladon stood by the wall, attentive as usual. His hands were placed upon each other in a relaxed manner. He was responsible for guarding the prince, however it seemed that he was having a conversation with his father. He stood outside the doors, both closed. He waited although his ears were perked, trying to hear what was going on from within the throne room. Fortunately Salil, the other guard, wasn't present. Ever since their time together, he hadn't seen the merfolk guard. He wondered why. Although, there wasn't much he could do about it, nor could he complain. He much rather be with the prince without him, and it made Ladon rather pleased. Though, he hoped that Salil wouldn't be too angry. He had never seen him mad. Always cheerful, he assumed that most likely Salil would such some passive aggressive tactic. The monster. The very thought shook him, though he then focused again on hearing through the doors, trying to listening to what the prince and his father were discussing. He found his head leaning toward the door, though once he caught the glance of another guard he straightened again, pretending as if there was nothing wrong. Luhan

Luhan was extremely nervous that day. Just couple months ago he could never imagine of this moment. Even though everyone else was out to kill dragons on sight,back then he was just.. indifferent. But he'd feel a little bad everytime he heard of an innocent dragon being killed. Then he met Ladon.. Ever since he found out his guard turned out to be a dragon, it changed the prince's perspective on things. The thought of his lover's kind being extinct saddened him, especially since he knew it made Ladon sad as well. So .. this was the day he would stand up for dragons, the innocent ones that are left at least. It'd be the first time he'd actually go against his father. They usually disagreed on lots of things but Luhan would simply keep quiet and let it slide, as he didn't have much of a choice.
He took a deep breath, his father staring at him while raising a brow in curiosity. Luhan then began to speak, explaining that he was in danger couple of times but.. dragons saved him every time, they were kind towards him. So he wants to return the favor. The king was furious, of course. It didn't surprise Luhan at all. He argued a bit further but he then realized it was no use. He stepped out of the doors while curling his fists, noticing Ladon standing there. He began to relax a bit but he averted his gaze with a small sigh. Silence followed, as he didn't know what to say to him.

Ladon turned to him in surprise, attentive as he watched him exit the doors. He didn't know what they were discussing, but the prince seemed defeated. "How did it go?" he asked, moving away from the wall and beginning to walk alongside him. He appeared to be upset, but Ladon did not know what he said to his father. His shoes clicked along the stone ground, echoing through the hallway as they moved. The other guards seemed to be switching their positions, possibly due to the shift as they entered the throne room. Possibly the leader had called for them, as he could continue to hear bickering about Ladon did not look back, but he assumed whatever it was his father sounded furious. Instead he kept his attention upon the sad prince, hoping that he would be alright. He would try to help, but he wouldn't know what to say for he did not know their conversation.

Luhan lowered his gaze, teeth nibbling on the corner of his lower lip. He felt disappointed with himself, but that wasn't unusual. He wasn't expecting any different result from the conversation with his father, either way. He looked up to Ladon, wanting to embrace him but he then remembered they were in the castle, with people surrounding them. He rubbed his nape gently, speaking as soft as possible. "Let's go to the garden." He led the way, as he didn't want people overhearing his conversation with Ladon. That was yet another thing he was tired of, having to hide his relationship from everyone. But there was nothing he could do, was there? He ruffled his hair messily once they reached his favorite spot, right beside the rose bushes. The sight of the garden calmed him down a bit more, crossing his arms. He looked over his shoulder to check if Ladon was with him before mumbling. "I tried.. talking to him about saving dragons..but.." he shook his head, exhaling out deeply before turning to the other. "I'm sorry.."

Ladon followed him into the garden, looking at him with concern. Once they reached the spot the guard leaned on a small brick wall, folding his arms over his chest as he looked down at Luhan. When he spoke his eyes widened briefly, although it was no surprise. He had spoken to him before about trying to save all the dragons. To Ladon it was useless. They were a nearly extinct race, a dying one, hidden from most of society. He had forewarned Luhan before that it would end up fruitless, but it was noble of him to still try. Though, his father may be more suspecting of dragons now, though fortunately Ladon was far from his next target. He continued to look down at him, his eyes softening as he spoke. "It's alright," he said soothingly, moving slightly closer to him yet continued to stand. "Though what did you say to him exactly?" he then asked, curious as to how the conversation went. He assumed Luhan did it for him, and as much as he would love to be in his dragon form, over the last hundred years he had already began to try and adapt to this new life. Even if it wasn't what he preferred, if it wasn't for trying to fit in with the other races he wouldn't have met the prince.

He kept his head low, being worried about the guard's reaction. Ladon has previously told him not to talk to the king about the issue, but Luhan still went against his wishes. He briefly looked up as his ears twitched, curling his tail around his thigh while he fiddled with his fingers. "I..told him that dragons saved my life.. If it was any other race..he would shower the person with food, clothes and gold.. the whole town would know of them as the prince's hero... " he furrowed his brows before shaking his head in dismissal, wanting to change the subject. The day barely just started, and he was already feeling too much stress. He leaned in to Ladon's warmth, wrapping his arms around him closely for comfort. Soon he felt his eyelids drop as he rested his chin on the male's shoulder, enjoying the warm cozy feeling. Then he slowly pulled away, sitting down on the grass as he patted the space beside him. "I want to know more about you", he tilted his head as he tried to bring up a new, hopefully better subject. "You never got to tell me about your past."

He rose a brow as he looked at the prince. Dragons saving his life? Was he mad? Of course his father wouldn't believe such jibber jabber. But perhaps Luhan thought of it on the spot, but before Ladon could respond he was already on the grass patting a spot for him. The guard moved to the spot, sitting down next to him cross-legged. He was about to say something but then Luhan changed the subject. His past? Ladon looked at him as his jaw dropped slightly. Closing back his mouth he replied, "My past?" For a moment he then looked up into the sky as he then thought. Then he looked side to side to see if there was anyone around that could be ease dropping, but so far they had been alone. He then turned to the prince, with a casual sort of expression. "Sure." He wasn't the one to hide his past, it was apart of him as much as being a dragon was. Although his past may not be all that interesting. "Well, where do I begin?" he then asked, looking again into the air absentmindedly. There was really no starting point for him, he had been doing pretty much the same thing millennia after millennia. That was, until dragons began to become hunted down. His attention focused back on the prince. "I hail from the Dark Canyons," he said, his memory taking him back. "As far as I can remember, I had been living next to a river. I had been there ever since I was born I think. But, it was there where I resided. Of course there had been other dragons there as well. As I continued to live I gained somewhat of a reputation for my wisdom. Many would come asking me for advice," he gave a little smile, perhaps out of bashfulness.
"It not only extended to dragons, but then humans and other races as well. They would come visit me by the river, and I would extend almost any advice they needed." Of course, not wasn't always the case. Usually it was those whom he deemed worthy. Nevertheless he continued. "It was so long, probably a few centuries before the treaty dragons were beginning to become hunted down. Of course I can't speak for all dragons. Some had liable cause to be hunted," he then said, now speaking with more seriousness in his tone. "Dragons like to burn down cities, hoarding treasure, killing people. I've even known a few that had." He couldn't excuse himself from it either. Some people laid dead at his feet from time to time, though it was usually because they tried to fight him because he retained information that they desired. "Ever since then dragons have become more and more extinct. Even I had to leave my home." He missed it, the river in the Dark Canyons. Maybe he could take the prince there one day. Although the Dark Canyons were often dangerous for races other than dragons. It may not be pleasant. "Anyway, then that was around the time the treaty was formed of all the races. Then while everyone else was at peace dragons have ever since gone into hiding. Most took a human form, to fit in. I didn't want to, but it got to the point where I had to." But now he didn't regret the decision. Sometimes now he found solace in his human form. "I tried city after city, town after town. I have tried so many jobs, but I failed," he almost laughed. "Being a human was quite difficult for me at first, but now I think I am getting the hang of it." He then moved closer to the prince. "And that it when I met you!" he said, rustling a hand through Luhan's hair playfully.

He decided to lay down on the grass instead, resting his head on top of his arms while his gaze remained on Ladon as he spoke, hanging on to his every word. He had read couple books about dragons, especially more often now that he was romantically involved with one - but the stories couldn't compare much to the real thing. By now he was already forgetting the conversation he had with his father just earlier. He smiled to himself at the thought of a small dragon living by the river. A baby Ladon sounded cute.. He then tilted his head to the side. Creatures..would go to Ladon to seek his advice? That wasn't too surprising, as he seemed to have a great amount of knowledge about everything. Ladon's story sounded so fascinating and surreal to him, since he preferred to be a human and he was confined to the walls of the castle for years. The guard really seemed to love his dragon form.. The prince's feline ears unconsciously lowered at the thought. If Ladon wasn't happy in his human form..then it'd be another reason for their relationship not to work. He let out a soft exhale, trying to brush off that thought.
"Ah.. I can help you get any job you like, or find a teacher for any skill you seek to learn." A small smile formed on his lips, running a hand through his messy hair to lazily fix it back in place. He remained quiet for a moment, sitting up slowly as he played with his fingers. "But.. if you really prefer to be in your dragon form.. you have every right to do so. Perhaps we could..find a secret hiding place for you." He bit down on his lower lip as he rubbed his nape. His suggestion was bizarre, and a bit too sudden. But he'd do anything for his lover's happiness.

Ladon looked at him with a small smile. "Thank you, but it won't be necessary," he spoke, declining his offer politely. "I enjoy my current position very much." His grin grew wider until the prince spoke again. It turned into a quizzical look, tilting his head slightly. He preferred to be in his dragon form yes, but he was beginning to become accustomed to human form. He thought he should get used to it by now, as the number of dragons were decreasing and most have assumed human form to blend in. But finding a secret hiding place to transform in seemed... confining. Ladon shook his head. "I appreciate your concern, but I am alright," he said. "I do not mind taking human form. Besides, then I get to interact with you more," he then spoke softly, reaching to delicately hold his chin.

Luhan rubbed his nape, his glance averting down for a moment before looking up due to Ladon's touch. He smiled gently before leaning in, placing a soft kiss on the corner of his lips. "If you're sure..I want the best for you." He scooted closer, leaning his head on the man's shoulder before fluttering his eyes shut. Something felt strange.. His brows furrowed, placing a hand on his stomach. The discomfort made him wince, shifting lightly. "Ah-" He recalled having the same feeling just earlier, but he thought it'd go away with time. He didn't know what it was, perhaps a stomach virus or something.

Ladon smiled at the kiss, then looked straight ahead as the prince leaned on his shoulder, his own head leaning on top of it afterwards. Luhan was always so kind, offering whatever Ladon could want despite the failure. Though, the dragon was happy in the here and now, he couldn't be any more grateful to have such a chance. He did not find love as a dragon, and he never expect to in his human form. It was a blessing from the gods he was sure. But then, he heard something come from Luhan. His head rose, looking at him with concern. "Are you alright?" He asked, not knowing what might be wrong. His eyes fell to his stomach where he had placed is hand on it. A stomachache maybe? He wasn't sure.

His ears twitched, furrowing his brows in slight confusion. The fact that he didn't know what was happening bothered him more than the actual discomfort itself. He exhaled out, soon feeling a little better. Indeed, the slight pain seemed to come and go whenever it wanted to. Luhan gave a small nod in response to Ladon's question, giving him a reassuring smile. "I felt something.. but it's alright now." He hummed, wondering if he ate something different lately or perhaps he caught a cold from all the swimming. "It felt so strange though.. I don't know what it is."

"Alright," he said with little skepticism, eyes averting to the side. Indeed, perhaps it was just a small stomachache after all. Ladon didn't know what he could do to help. "Hmm," he then said, placing a hand on his stomach to see if he could tell what was wrong. Although he was wise he wasn't a doctor. He did not know the working functions and problems of each individual race. But Luhan said it felt strange though, so Ladon hoped it wasn't some sort of magic or poison or something. If it got worse he thought that Luhan should probably get it checked out. His father should have many good healers at his ready, so that wouldn't be much of a problem. Though, if it had something to do with Ladon then he wouldn't know what to do. For now though, he assumed whatever pain it was is gone. His hand then dropped him his stomach and continued to sit on the grass, adjusting himself slightly. "It seems fine to me. Although if it gets worse I advise you see a healer, they can help you," he told him.

Luhan leaned to the warm touch on his stomach, it actually made him feel a bit better. He closed his eyes briefly for a moment but he frowned as he felt something else this time. He was getting sick.. "Ah, I have to go-" He covered his mouth , quickly heading for a more private place as he was embarrassed that Ladon would see him in this state. His stomach was acting up worse this time, it was nothing like he ever felt before.. He whimpered softly, soon the strange sensation somehow disappeared as well. He exhaled in relief but he was still drained. He frowned lightly as he looked down at his stomach. "What's wrong with me.."

Ladon looked as he suddenly got up and left, worried for him but there was not much he could do. The guard wasn't a healer so he couldn't know what was wrong. He continued to sit and wait patiently on the grass, staring at the prince going off into the distance. But soon after he got up, wiping some blades of grass from off of his pants. Walking toward the direction Luhan had gone in, he had to make sure that he was alright. Nearing closer to where he thought he should be, Ladon approached slowly, face expressed full of concern. He hoped that no one was trying to poison him. If so then they should see a healer immediately. Even still, this looked bad, whatever it was. Perhaps they should see one now. "Luhan?" he asked, hoping not to disturb him.
