[Tiva]

She rolled her eyes at Nero, this was why she disliked the military. Her fiancee had been a solider, they had no respect for her work, it was all dead bodies to them. The fire died down and people started to disappear to go back to their tents. Deciding that she may as well go back Ari picked up some tofu to give to the hatchling and went back into her tent. The dragon was curled up on the pillow and as she poked it a small spit of fire came out before with a sudden clarity the words "Momma brought food?" Went through her mind before the hatchling jumped into her arms eating the tofu. "You can talk? Where in the hell was that all day?" she hissed looking down at the pest who was happily munching on tofu. "Yes I can talk... and I have a name you know it is Artemis... can't not be able to talk to my momma." Artemis nuzzled her waiting for her to sit down. "I am not your momma.... now what is with you?" The dragon tilted her head to the side before starting on a long talk about her origins, how dragons had once roamed the earth bonding with humans and sharing their powers with them as a thanks for protecting them. Some where on Earth there was an egg stash, and it needed to be shown to the world. The night bled away and before long it was dawn, time to finish packing and leave...

Ari stood next to the cargo plane giving Nero an odd look.... "Soooo how are you getting back? This plane is taking us to Hawaii.. then I am leaving for Colorado to deliver some remains. No other plane is scheduled to come here for months.... are you sure you weren't supposed to come with us?" She didn't really want the guy to get on the plane with her and Artemis, as the dragon was so rudely reminding her, but she didn't want to leave another skeleton on the hunk of rock.
