Semi-Closed RP [Mostly open to Captain Jack]

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

Auntie Two was investigating a wonderful scent. The little green fire-lizard blinked in from between to hover in the Gryffindor Common Room. She was intent on finding her prize. It'd illuded her a few times already and her mind was filled with the bright happy chatter emotions of joy and determination.

Flitting in deep emerald, she searched for the person she was sure would be almost as lovely as the one who belonged to her.

Jack poked his head into the common room.

He's smirking, that was never a good thing at all. He was plotting something. He also had in his hands a stolen broom from somewhere and a book, yes this was trouble.

From up above, a little green dragonlet crooned happily and dived. There was that scent.

She hovered just out of reach, but in front of him, displaying the stretch of her wings.

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

Jack blinked. "Okay, I've not been drinking. So what are you then?" He addresses the creature before him. "Apart from being cute." He abandons the book to a table and stands the broom up against the wall. He puts a hand out slowly. "You got a name? I'm Jack Harkness." Because introductions are important.

Chirping and crooning, Auntie Two fluttered down gracefully onto the extended arm, all six pounds of her. But she didn't wrap her tail around as an extra perch yet.

She folded her wings slowly and carefully, like a dainty older woman crossing her legs. Then sat primly, eyes whirling turquoise with dizzy pleasure. She missed her favourites back at the other place. Though this place had a nice lake and trees and they'd been gorging themselves on quite wonderful amounts of meat.

Thinking about how content she felt, led another dragonet to pop into existence out of nowhere. A bronze. He swooped once over both Jack and Auntie Two then disappeared again.

Jack grinned and watched completely fascinated, well this creature seemed quite happy, he lifted his other arm slowly out to the dragonet to give a tickle under her chin.

Jack raised an eyebrow curiously as he watched the other appear. "So there are more of you?"

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

Auntie Two hummed at the tickle and bumped her head on his arm, trying to get his attention to her brow ridges. Skin, smooth and soft as suede and as warm as any human stretched to get the most of the touches.

From above came another flash of bronze. Two this time. And with them a flash of gold. All three disappeared again, but there was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs from one of the dorm levels.

"Alright you clucking wherries, I'll go find out what's going on. Just stop herding me."

Menolly's bright red hair poked out of the stairwell. The sixteen year old girl was fastening ties at her tunic's neck despite the gold dragonet on her shoulder and trying to keep her balance despite nudges by two bronzes, from behind her and the fluttering nearby of two browns.

Jack got the hint and petted the dragonet where she seemed to want, smiling as he did. He wouldn't mind keeping one of these adorable critters around.

Jack turned slowly, not to unsettle the dragonet on his arm when he heard the voice. Seeing a varity of different coloured dragonets surrounding the girl he made the logical step.

"This yours?" He asked still petting the green dragonet on his arm and in no hurry to stop.

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

Auntie Two was practically singing and Menolly looked up at the male voice, and then ntoed the happily perched green fire-lizard.

"Yes, she's mine." She tied a bow off on her top and reached up to pet the gold on her shoulder before looking at the others.

"Alright, alright, I see him. And he's not doing her any harm."

Menolly walked over and reached out stroke the greedy little green right between her eye ridges. "What's the matter, you haven't been getting enough attention? You miss having aprentices vying for a chance to spend time with you?"

Menolly looked up at Auntie Two's new found friend. "You're familiar with fire-lizards?"

On her shoulder, the gold peered at Jack.

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"So that's what you are." Jack says to the green one on his arm. "No, never seen one before today." Jack sad he hadn't, he's pretty much taken by them now, they were just so adorable.

"They have names?" He gives a smile to the gold one staring at him.

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

She smiled, nodding. "That's Auntie Two. Auntie One's around here somewhere. She's another green." Her smile turned a touch self-conscious. "They usually natter at each other and at Uncle, that's my blue."

She reached up to her shoulder. "This is Beauty." And then pointed to the bronzes and browns who'd found perches in the room.

"Diver, Rocky" She paused and looked at the brown's sideways. "Brownie, Mimic."

Menolly stepped forward and held out her hand. "And I'm Menolly, Journeyman Harper and now a student here."

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"Jack Harkness, Captain, time-traveler and a lot of other things... also student." Jack took it shook it with a grin.

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

"You're a time-traveler, but you've never seen a fire-lizard before? How do you travel through time then?" She couldn't help her curiosity.

Menolly held out her arm for Auntie Two, coaxing the greedy little thing away from her current source of attention and affection. "

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"Timeship, hitchin' a ride. Why how you would you travel then?" Because he's just as curious, there a better way it could be useful to know about.

"No, seen a whole lot of other things but these never." He holds his arm out towards her trying to help.

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

"By dragon." She said matter of factly. "Is your ship alive?" Because Menolly couldn't fathom moving backwards or forwards through time without a bright and willing mind to take the person there.

She scolded Auntie Two softly, and the little gold on her shoulder scolded as well, chittering.

The green gave Jack one last head bump and moved to Menolly's arm, where she preened as down along the ridge of her back was lightly petted.

"I'm sorry if she was a bother."

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"Sort of, technology was a organic, but nothing like the TARDIS though, she's special." He smiles happily. "She's fantastic, alive..." He could talk about the TARDIS all day. "Not mine though, I was just a guest."

"Oh she was no bother at all, a cutie actually." He gives the green dragonet a grin and one last pet.

[harper-true.livejournal.com]

"She's greedy for touch. I've been told that was always natural to greens. But the way she was acting with you, someone might think I was ignoring her."

She scritched the little green under the chin again and smiled. "Perhaps it simply means you'll get an egg when she rises."

Menolly ran a hand through her hair with a slight flush to her cheeks. She wasn't exactly looking forward to that. She had two greens and a gold and from what she'd learnt from the dragonriders, the greens were far more active.
