The dying light of the courtyard brought a sense of peace. With the supernaturals and all the other tricks people could do here, Ash wasn't sure he should be out in the courtyard after light, but he didn't really care. He wanted at least a little bit of freedom, before he had to cocoon himself back into his room. He'd been stuck inside for so long since getting here. Was it fear that kept him chained to what was familiar? He honestly wasn't sure what was wrong with him. He'd always been sociable at home. He glanced around at the lush grass and the tree that towered over him. This wasn't exactly socializing, but at least he was outside again.
With a sigh, he sat down at the base of the tree. He sprawled his long, jean clad legs out in front of him. Crossing his arms over his chest, he regarded the silence solemnly. Perhaps this wasn't a great idea. He wasn't gaining anything by sitting around and waiting for something to happen, or for someone to come up and talk to him. He needed to take initiative, to go out and look for people that he could call his friends. The loneliness was suffocating here and the silence was overwhelming. At home, things were never this quiet. He shook his head; enough about home! They didn't want him, so he just needed to pick up and move on with his life.
For the sake of it, he tried to lift the corners of his mouth up into a pathetic smile, as if the small motion would suddenly make him happier. The corners drooped back down- so much for that theory. Pursing his lips he whistled a cheerful tune, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere around him. He hadn't even seen anyone in this new town and he was already succumbing to the awkward silences. "I could always talk to myself." He mumbled out loud. He glanced around. Nothing. All he got from that little exercise was a feeling of stupidity.
Glumly, Ash stared at his shoes, bored out of his mind and just a little depressed. He honestly wasn't used to feeling sad this long. He was known for bouncing back in record time, but lately, all he seemed to do was sit around and mope. His life was getting more than a little ridiculous. Uncrossing his arms, he ran a hand through his naturally spiked dark brown hair. He watched as the remainder of the light left the courtyard. With only the crickets chirping for company, things were looking a little bleak...

Rocon was asleep on the ground of a cave and nature around her was just waking up and then you could see her moving around like she was experiencing bad dreams. Suddenly she woke up screaming and after she realized she was aloneshe quieted down.She went to the back of the cave and changed into some clothes she had brought along with her. After she changed clothes she started walking out of the cave and she looked at the trees and beautiful scenery around her.She started humming a favorite song her mom taught her as a child.As she was humming the song she slipped into her own little world where her parents were still alive and she was a soldier in the Draconis army.
She was happy when she was in the amy fighting for her planet alongside her father who was the general.By this time she had arrived at the outer edge of the local town and the noises of cars and chattering of people and differentcreatures brought her back to reality. She realized that she needed to hunt but she was bad at it when she was in human form. She found a dark alleyway,put her gymbad with a extra set of clothes down on the ground.She then shifted into the flying lizard that was her self. Then she grabbed the gymbag and put it around her shoulder. She leapedup and started to flap her wings and that allowed her to get ontop of a building. she touched down and she started to run on the rooftop.
She would jump from building to building looking down on the streets and alleyways. This continued til she arrived at a school of sorts. she jumped off the last building and glided over the walls of the school and saw a courtyard and sawsomeone sitting at the base of the tree. He sprawled his long, jean clad legs out in front of him. This struck Rocon's curiousity./ She glided over the courtyard and descended down til she touched the grass and she walked to the kid. She opened her mouth and said" It is a beautiful day isn't it. You look like you are relaxed."

Ashton barely contained a yell of surprise as the person appeared out of nowhere. He regarded her with wide eyes, blinking rapidly as he tried to process her sudden appearance. His shock didn't end there when he saw the wings protruding from her back and her other reptilian features. Don't freak out, he chanted to himself. He needed to get used to occurrences like this, otherwise he would never survive at this place.
Taking a deep breath, he smiled at her. First impressions were never something he worried about. If he said something clumsily, he could always change the persons memory of the event. Then again, he had sworn never to use his power like that, and there was no way he was going to break that promise just to make someone like him. Though he did need friends he'd have to rely on his personality shining through. He barely kept back a sarcastic snort, yeah, that would work.
"Beautiful? Uh, yeah, definitely." He barely got the words out of his mouth and his voice almost failed him at the end, rising into a high-pitched squeak. Well, high-pitched for a guy. He raised a hand and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. Only when he realized that he had to crane his neck to look up at her, did he realize that he was still sprawled out on the ground. Scrambling to his feet, he gave her a sheepish smile. "Who wouldn't be in this place." A pathetic attempt at conversation, but at least words were coming out of his mouth. Of course, there was always room for improvement.
"Do you, um…" He lost his train of thought as his gaze snagged on her wings again. "Fly, uh, I mean, come here often?" He grimaced at how idiotic he sounded. This was not going well. He tried to stand up straight, to instill some kind of his normal confidence. Maybe if he hadn't been caught so off guard he wouldn't be tripping up this badly. A small smile lifted the corners of his mouth. "I'm sorry, I swear I'm not usually this… awkward." He glanced up at her, somewhat shyly. "I'm Ashton."

Rocon must have caught the person off guard because he was making funny expressions . It was probably it is not everyday you see a big flying lizard.Then she saw him smiling and he replied to a question that she asked him.She respondedwith" So it seems that you are a tad bit nervous. It is no big deal, i can understand why you might be. You don't see big winged reptiles flying or talking around every day" She chuckled as she was trying to ease his worriedness.Rocon started to ask him" So what is this place and why was it so easy to penetrate. ?"With his awkward way of speaking he asked a corny joke and she just had to laugh.
She said" Nah this is the first time have been in here. " She saw him trying to stand up straight and he apologized for being very awkward and she said" It's quite alright First impressions can be tough especially when you are meeting a giant flying lizard for the first time. He told her his name and she extended her hand and said" Well i am Rocon. It is nice meeting you. Since you know what i am i am curious to know if you have any special abilities or characteristics that are not showing at this time?If you want to know where i am from , it is a planet that does not exist anymore. It got blew up in a planetary war in which i was a soldier. My father was the general of the army."

He grinned at her and shook his head as she tried to ease the tension. It wasn't so bad, sure her appearance had thrown him off guard, but he had seen a lot of crazy things since coming to this place. He studied her appearance calmly now, her scales shown in the dying light and for a lizard girl, he could see that she would be very pretty in her human form. Being unique wasn't a bad thing, and this girl had definitely embraced that to the fullest. If only he could be so open with his abilities, it wasn't like she was going to run in fear because of what he could do. If she wanted, she could probably rip him to pieces. From her easy going nature though, he doubted that she would do anything of the sort.
"Penetrate?" He laughed. "You make it sound like some kind of army camp." He raised and eyebrow and his lopsided smile was teasing in a gentle way. Gesturing with his hands he pointed to the entire court yard. "This is a part of the school. Unfortunately, I'm still required to go." He shook his head with a small smile. He grinned when she laughed at his awkwardness. She seemed cool enough, if she could put up with his horrible first impressions.
"Yeah, I have to say the whole lizard thing is a first for me. Though I'm jealous, I would love to be able to fly." He glanced down quizzically at her hand. He hadn't shook someone's hand in ages. He remembered the last time he had tried to extend the common courtesy. The person had run screaming. As if his abilities were limited by touch. He glanced up at her reptilian features, she was being kind to him. He reached out with his own hand and shook hers with a firm grip. Her smooth scales rubbed lightly against his skin.
His eyes widened as she told him about herself. And he thought he had had a rough life. This girl had lived through far more than him, and here he was wallowing in self pity. Suddenly, he was absolutely disgusted with himself. "A soldier huh? Well I feel honored to meet you then." He smiled at her. "Though I do have to ask, what in the world made you choose to come to earth. I have to think wherever you came from was a lot different." He asked her calmly, but his eyes were sharp and incredibly intrigued. He'd never met someone with a past quite like hers. "As for me… Unfortunately, my life isn't that interesting. I don't usually tell people my abilities, most people don't like me for them." He shifted uneasily on his feet. He just needed to be as open with her as she was with him. After all, he needed friends. "I'm a memory manipulator." He waited for the judgment to come.
