Trael’s answer to the first question made him feel warm and fuzzy. But his answer to the second almost made Azar burst into tears out of emotions. He stared at his man, eyes full of love and adoration. Trael noticed his skincare routine?! It was such a simple comment, but it meant the galaxy to Azar that his grooming habits were noticed. He smiled fondly at Trael, “You’re perfect,” He said, “Just for that, when we get back to the ship-” Azar began, a sultry look in his eye. He leaned in close to Trael’s ear, his body language seductive, “I will load the dishwasher how you want,” Azar whispered breathily. He knew full well that would get Trael’s engines going immediately. The man was borderline OCD with how he arranged and organized things and Azar was a disorganized disaster.
Azar watched Trael poke his head around to look just in time for the dragon to also look. Grumbling at their terrible timing, Azar quickly hopped to his feet and started to run. He was once again in a bad mood as he stuck to cover to avoid the dragon. Every now and then he would blast a concussive blow with the Force to send the dragon reeling back to give them a window to run.
“This is bullshit!” Azar huffed as he ran, “You’re giving me a foot massage every day and taking me somewhere nice!” He screeched as he jumped over a boulder. When he had to book it, Azar had a sudden display of athleticism. It was a throwback to when he thought he could pose as as Massassi warrior for a few years after he first arrived in the wider galaxy. Just because he could, didn’t mean he enjoyed it one bit.
They arrived at that stupid crossing past the hot springs again and Azar used aerokinesis rapidly to try and clear the fog. He could only see a bit at a time so he used a combination of Sight and terrakinesis to make rock platforms jut out the side of the mountain. Azar hopped across, the dragon quickly gaining on them. Once Trael crossed, Azar purposely threw the fog over as a cover, making it difficult for the dragon to see.
“Where’s the ship?!” Azar asked, having no sense of direction. He panted as he looked at Trael, “I think we should leave one egg behind. The dragon won’t venture far away from the egg,” They both knew Azar could probably fight the dragon, but there was a hesitation. There was always a sense of hesitation when it came to killing great, intelligent beasts. He had that same hesitation with the leviathan on Murzana. Perhaps it was a weakness, or perhaps it was a sense of kinship with misunderstood, beautiful monsters. Without waiting for an answer, Azar gently placed the egg he was carrying down on a safe platform that was visible.
He kept running after that, counting on the dragon snatching the egg and taking it back instead of continuing a fruitless chase.
