Tabby grinned ear to ear, this blue was making her so happy! She hoped her dragon would be as nice as this dragon! Oh, that would be so great! She stood there looking at him, to stunned and happy to ssay anything, she had frozen up of excitement. She randomly whispered a thank you for getting her hopes up and looked around for Jordyn. When she finally spotted her she waved to her.

"Jordyn! This dragon believes that I can get a yellow, maybe even as nice as him!" She nodded. "I can't wait! This is such a cool job, I wanna work here someday! It'd be lots of fun, I like helping people...or dragons in this case, haha, but I'd be able to help them! I would love that, this must be the best job ever!" She said happily.

Jordyn looked up at Tabby’s voice and smiled, Jordyn! This dragon believes that I can get a yellow, maybe even as nice as him! I can't wait! This is such a cool job, I wanna work here someday! It'd be lots of fun, I like helping people...or dragons in this case, haha, but I'd be able to help them! I would love that, this must be the best job ever! Jordyn chuckled as she looked at Tabby. “That doesn’t surprise me Tabs. She doesn’t think I should have told you that some of them had talked to me.” Jordyn teased as she tossed her head at the Pink in her pen and caught the gaping of her mouth and laughed a little.

“It’s an okay job, but you gotta be here before the sun even starts to rise, and you gotta stay til the moon starts sinking, not to mention an inert sense of herbs and medicine and the like, but aside from all that, this really is a great job, and you do get to work with some interesting characters.” Jordyn stuck her tongue out playfully at the Pink and got a grumble of laughter from her, Thanks Jordyn, now I need to talk to her too. Jordyn laughed at the Pink, “You don’t gotta, unless you want to, I have a very angry Black to go deal with quick, he’s got a huge gash in his leg.”

The Pink turned her serpentine head to look at Jordyn and rolled her eyes briefly then she turned to Tabby and she smiled. I think a Pink might be a better fit for you than a Yellow. She told Tabby as Jordyn chuckled and slipped away to the pen of the Black, a very violent, agitated roar slipped from his mouth and he thrashed his tail and head against the walls of his pen. The wound was worse than she thought. “HEY! CHILL OUT! YOU NEED HELP!” Jordyn said her voice loud enough to be heard over the roars and thrashing of the beast. His dark eyes fell on the puny human before him and he roared loudly again, but stopped thrashing.

Jordyn stepped into his pen, iliciting another round of roars and thrashing but also he was slightly taken aback that he wasn’t scaring this pesky being. Jordyn narrowed her eyes and glared at him, and he backed into the corner, his leg being dragged painfully after him. “Relax, let me look at it, I mean no harm great Sir.” The dragon relaxed the tiniest bit and dipped his head. “I’m going to need some help. Don’t scare her when she gets here.” Jordyn told him then walked back to the door and looked down toward Tabby. “Not to disrupt your conversation Tabs, but I need some help with this monster, his wound is worse than I thought. Wanna see what I actually do here?” Then she fell silent collecting her stuff and stepping back into his pen with it waiting to see if Tabby would want to help her out.

"Aw...I don't know if I could stay here that long....or get up that early or stay up that late...I usually get up at 8:00, I don't know how I got up early this morning. But I never stay up later then 9:00 either, I fall asleep usually before 9:00 to tell the truth. And I wouldn't be able to remember all that stuff...maybe this isn't the right job for me..." She sighed. "But, maybe I can find another job that involves dragons! Do you know any other jobs? Do ya? Do ya do ya?"

She grinned when the Pink spoke to her. "Well a Pink would be really neat to ya know! They're nice and hyper and random and bright and happy and excited and cheerful and stuff, I like it! Yea, a Pink would be nice to, hehehe." She laughed. "You're a very nice dragon to, are all pinks like this? If so I'd love a Pink!" She giggled loudly.

When Jordyn asked her to help her eyes went wide and sparkled, her mouth dropped open and she gasped really loud, breathing in a lot of air. She held her breath for a few seconds before bursting out in a long sentence that she said as fast as she could, not stopping for any breath.

"Oh my gosh I can't believe this are you really going to let me help you are you sure I mean what if I mess up I don't wanna mess up I mean I might mess up you know because I don't know any of what you do but still you're gonna be there so it'll be fine right right so yeah I can help you it'll be really really really really fun and we'll get to spend so much time together and it'll be so nice and I'm so glad and thank you so much Jordyn you're the best friend ever!!" She said, finally gasping for air she ran over to her and hugging her. She let go and took deep breaths, her heart beating fast she slowly went into the pen and saw the black dragon. "It won't hurt me..will it?" She asked.

Jordyn chuckled a little as she listened to Tabby speak, Aw...I don't know if I could stay here that long....or get up that early or stay up that late...I usually get up at 8:00, I don't know how I got up early this morning. But I never stay up later than 9:00 either, I fall asleep usually before 9:00 to tell the truth. And I wouldn't be able to remember all that stuff...maybe this isn't the right job for me...but, maybe I can find another job that involves dragons! Do you know any other jobs? Do ya? Do ya do ya? Jordyn shook her head a little.

“Off hand, I can’t think of any right now, sorry Tabs.” Jordyn smiled then as she looked up as Tabby spoke to the Pink for a moment and then she stood steady in the aisle as Tabby flew into a breathless sentence, Oh my gosh I can't believe this are you really going to let me help you are you sure I mean what if I mess up I don't wanna mess up I mean I might mess up you know because I don't know any of what you do but still you're gonna be there so it'll be fine right right so yeah I can help you it'll be really really really really fun and we'll get to spend so much time together and it'll be so nice and I'm so glad and thank you so much Jordyn you're the best friend ever!!

She chuckled as she saw the girl barreling down the aisle toward her and then she hugged her back as she reached the aisle outside the pen of the Black. Jordyn stepped into the pen behind Tabby and narrowed her eyes and bared her teeth as she locked gazes with the Black, shrinking him into a corner of his pen with his leg stuck out ahead of him. Then she looked to Tabby as she spoke yet again, It won't hurt me…will it? She smiled and answered, “No, he won’t now, I think he is sufficiently cowed by my presence. Let’s get started shall we?” Jordyn asked as she knelt beside the dragon’s leg and then looked to Tabby.

“Join me down here okay. I know what you can do…” Jordyn paused and looked up and over her shoulder as she continued, pointing at the herbs and the mortar and pestle beside them as she continued, “…there’s water in that bowl. The herbs stacked next to it need to be crushed up in the bowl with the water, when you get a good strong scent of Lemongrass, it’s ready. Then I’ll have you help me smear the paste on this gash, he’ll yowl and roar and try to thrash but, we’ll keep him from harming us. Once we get the paste spread over the entire wound, we’ll take that cloth there on the bale just outside and wrap it over the paste and tie it. Ready to start healing him?” Jordyn asked as she reached for the bowl and herbs and pulled it closer glaring and baring her teeth at the dragon again, keeping him pinned in the corner.

Tabby nodded at Jordyn when she told her what to do. "I'm on it!" She said happily, taking the bowl and herbs and putting them on a table to work on. She looked at the herbs then at the water and bit her lip. "Jordyn...how am I supposed to crush up the grass? Do I rip it apart with my hands and murder it...oh no...I'm gonna be murderer...?" She asked sadly. "So I think I got the rest but how do I murder the poor grass, and I won't get in trouble for it will I? I mean..that's something terrible to do!" She sighed. "But I seriously am stuck..." She looked at the black dragon and waved at it, and jumped up a few inches when it glared and growled at her. "Mreowr!" She said, scared. "N-n-n-nice dragon.." She said quietly and softly.

Jordyn smiled a little as she continued to glare at the dragon as he glared and growled at Tabby, she stood up and walked directly into his space as she continued to glare and grumble as she locked gazes with him and listened to Tabby at the same time, I'm on it! Jordyn...how am I supposed to crush up the grass? Do I rip it apart with my hands and murder it...oh no...I'm gonna be murderer...? Jordyn chuckled a little, “Yes Tabs you rip it up in your hands, shredding it like paper, but don’t think about it as murder sweety, the grass is already dead, it was picked and mostly dried so it shouldn’t take to long to get it to work.” Jordyn murmured softly as she gnashed her teeth at the Black machining him cringe a little lower and press himself up against the back wall.

When the Black made Tabby jump, Jordyn grabbed his face and glared, gnashing her teeth and locking gazes as she grumbled low in her throat. “Give…it…a…rest…we are here…to help you.” The Black cringed and lowered his head, low grumbles emanating from his throat as his head met the ground between his forelegs. “Now that’s better. I am so glad my Laprth is nothing like you. Is the paste almost ready Tabs?” She asked as she heard the sounds of scurrying overhead and then she leaned forward as a little black Dragoness flitted down to rest on her shoulders and her bright blue eyes fell on her larger counterpart.

J’rdynMine! I heard the most awful sounds as I dosed overhead! Are you okay Mine!? Laprth asked as her eyes changed from bright blue to flame red as she glared at the large Black Dragon lying on the ground. And then she ran her eyes over Jordyn and roared at the big dragon. YOU BE NICE TO MY RIDER MONSTER!! Laprth growled in Jordyn’s mind as she dropped to the ground and climbed onto the big dragon’s uninjured leg and glared at him.

“It’s okay Laprth. We’re both, Tabby and I, we’re all right lovely but thank you for your concern.” The little Black dragoness turned and looked back at her rider and her eyes changed back to the lovely bright blue as Laprth sprang to her shoulders, nuzzled her, eliciting a round of pats and kisses on the nose before springing up into the rafters around the top of the Keep and soft singing echoed down toward them as Jordyn looked to Tabby, smiled then turned back to the Black, holding his gaze again, effectively pinning him in the corner.

"Oh! So the grass is already murdered. Poor grass stuff, well at least I won't feel bad..." She said then started ripping the plant to shreds. When Jordyn calmed the dragon down again she smiled. Then the little black dragon ran in and got mad at the big black dragon, although Tabby didn't know what she said, her eyes brightened up. "Oh! Oh! Dragggooooooonnnn!! She was beautiful Jordynn! Was that yours?!! I love her so much!!!!!!!" She giggled, forgetting about her job. She clapped her hands, grass flying everywhere for they were still in her hands. "Ohhh!" She giggled. "So much fun, she's beautiful, when did you get her?!" She asked.

Jordyn smiled as she listened to Tabby, Oh! So the grass is already murdered. Poor grass stuff, well at least I won't feel bad... Jordyn laughed a little as she turned her dark eyes to Tabby, Oh! Oh! Dragggooooooonnnn!! She was beautiful Jordynn! Was that yours?!! I love her so much!!!!!!! Ohhh! So much fun, she's beautiful, when did you get her?! Smiling Jordyn answered her, “See, you just got to think about it that way…” she paused as Tabby clapped her hands scattering grass, “…Tabs, a little less excitement hmmm? And yes Tabs, she’s mine. Her name is Laprth.”

Jordyn told her with a chuckle, “She’s a bit of an anti-socialite but she’s very, very affectionate and she has a lovely voice when she decides to sing aloud. Would you like to say hi to her Tabs? I can call her back and see if she’ll come back down and chat with you. That paste almost finished, he’s getting cranky and I don’t know how much longer I can hold him off.” Jordyn told her as she glared back at the Black dragon as he grew restless and roared again. Then she laughed softly as she pinned him with her eyes back into the corner once more. "I attained her one night hence Tabs."

"Sowwwwyy Meoooowwwwww..." She said then started breaking apart more grass and putting it in the water. She had trouble doing two things at once: Doing her job and listening to Jordyn talk, she was so used to concentrating on only one thing at a time. She would stop with the grass at one point, listen, go back, then stop again, listen, and go back then repeat. She didn't speak a word, she was going to wait till she was done, she wanted to get the dragon back to health. Finally she was done, she looked at Jordyn and pointed to the bowl happily. "I'm done! I'm done! I'm done!" She said and jumped up and down.

Annd now: "So she sings good? I wish I could hear...I like to sing but sometimes I get off the notes, but even if I sing bad it doesn't mean I can't sing! Heehee!" She smiled widely. "Ohh! I would love to talk to her, she seemed pretty nice, except when she got mad at the black dragon. But that was for a reason right? She wasn't just being mean was she?" She shivered, most black dragons were mean for the heck of it, she just wanted to make sure. Who knew, maybe the dragon might bite her nose! She clapped her hands over her nose. "Nu..I wunt to kep mu nuse." She said, although it was muffled.

Jordyn chuckled a little as Tabby spoke, Sowwwwyy meoooowwwwww... I'm done! I'm done! I'm done! Jordyn caught just the slightest hint of lemongrass and smiled nodding her head as she spoke to her, “Thank you Tabs. Bring it on over, so we can get him medicated and wrapped up.” Then she heard the other part of Tabby’s voice, So she sings good? I wish I could hear...I like to sing but sometimes I get off the notes, but even if I sing bad it doesn't mean I can't sing! Heehee! Jordyn smiled a little more as the rest of Tabby’s phrase sank into her mind.

Ohh! I would love to talk to her, she seemed pretty nice, except when she got mad at the black dragon. But that was for a reason right? She wasn't just being mean was she? Nu..I wunt to kep mu nuse. Jordyn laughed aloud as she answered her, “Let’s get him all patched up and I’ll call her back down. She got mad at him because he was being mean to us both.” She turned to look at Tabby and her smile brightened a little. Would you be willing to come back down Laprth? In a bit of course.

A soft murmur of song in her mind then an answer, Perhaps Mine. But why? Jordyn rolled her eyes a little bit and then responded as she looked to Tabby and spoke to Laprth again mentally, My friend here would like to meet you properly lovely. She too is a singer, though not as good as you. A soft chuckle from the Black dragoness in her mind before a response, Just call my name Mine when you are ready and I shall return to the ground. Then the soft lilting voice of the Dragoness rang out again as she picked up her song once more.

Tabby nodded and brought her the bowl happily. "Are you proud of me? Are you? Are you are you? I did good didn't I? Or did I mess up? Did I put to much or to less in? Did I get the bowl dirty? What? Whats your thoughts? Huh? HUH? Oh, what do I do now?" She asked question after question. "This is so fun! So this is what you do all day! I don't know if I could keep this up all day though, it must be really hard...But maybe if I put enough effort into working I could do it! Couldn't I? Meow? Couldn't I? Ohhh please tell me!! Oh and when can I see Laprth I think was her name..You said she was nice right? I wanna meet a nice black dragon! It'll be a first, all black dragons I've seen are extremely mean usually!" She squealed.

Jordyn laughed a little as Tabby ran off on a tangent, stringing together questions upon questions upon questions. She smirked and gently pushed her down by the shoulders and then smiled and answered, “You did excellent Tabs. Everything is as it should be. Now relax a little and help me spread this over the gash.” Then she plopped her hands into the bowl and picked up some and carried it over to the gash and plopped it down. The Black roared, his eyes becoming a bright red as the cold paste touched his scales, Jordyn sat on his leg to keep it stationary as she started to smear the paste.

“You might be able too. Just do that Tabs and you’ll be good. And you can meet Laprth once we get him all settled down.” Then Jordyn grabbed another bunch of paste and put it on the wound again. Then looked to Tabby and smiled as she waited for her to join her. With two of them doing it they would get done faster and Jordyn could call Laprth back down. She smiled again as she spread the paste into the deepest part of the wound and looked back to Tabby again. She started to hum a little to herself as she worked.

Tabby nodded her head wildly, her hair swinging everywhere. She put some paste on her hands and then went over to the dragon carefully. She sat down and then started wiping the paste on the wounds. She had to act tough, she couldn't be scared. She looked at the dragon and saw it glaring at her, a low deep growl coming from it. "Mreowr..." She gulped, but she still sat there. She got more paste and wiped more on the gash, putting probably a little to much on each wipe she put some on. She seemed to go faster and faster, she wanted to get away from the scary beast and meet Laprth....she gulped.

Shortly after Tabby began helping her, the gash was sufficiently pasted over. Smiling she looked to Tabby and chuckled as she grabbed the cloth. “One last step Tabs and we can chat with Laprth. Help me wrap up this leg.” Jordyn told her as she tucked the cloth under the leg and began wrapping it expertly around the leg. She looked to Tabs and smiled again, they had managed to cut her work time in half with the two of them together, had she not had Tabby with her, she would have been in the Keep round the clock this time. She smiled again and waited for Tabby to help her out a little bit more.

Tabby smiled and nodded, getting some cloth and carefully wrapping the gash up, it was a bit messy though as this was her first try. She stuck her tongue out in concentration before finishing. She got up and looked at the wrapped up would a little disappointed "Sorry...It's not good..." She said sadly. "Well, can I talk to Laprth now?" Quickly she had changed the subject, brightening up as well. She has a smile on her face and was literally bouncing up and down. "Well? Can I can I can I? You said I could so I can right? Right?"
