Lycoris growled as she heard the familiar voice. She looked away for a moment before moving back a little. Hunching over to one side as she held her chest. The pain was still very noticeable from her wound, and this activity had hardly helped matters.
"I don't want to fight Claudias. I don't even want to fight that stupid bitch with him. I want to find the one who scarred me. She worked for him and left her own mark. Why shouldn't I repay her in kind?" She hisses, clearly still worked up to address Naga like that. She'd been very restless through her recovery and now this. The young dragoness was definitely a handful that was for sure.
Vanessa stepped out a little from behind Claud, sensing enough to know that the new arrival was far from a usual creature. She bowed her head a little, trying to seem respectful as she spoke up.
"Claudius was not involved in what I've been a part of. If you have any wish to seek vengeance then I'm the one you want, as the dragon says." She had no idea of the temperament of this new creature, but she wouldn't have Claudius' reputation tainted by her past, regardless of the cost.

Naga looked to Lycoris hissing in her own serpitine language so the others would not understand.
'Your are injured and if you keep picking on the little one Lothair will protect her and possibly injure you more by accident. I do not want to see you more injured Lyco.' she told her before looking back to the others.
" I don't care what you do, I will only show my claw to the one named Tilan for he is older and should know better child." She hissed since the female seemed to meek to make her own decisions in her own eyes. She looked back to Lycoris.
" Stop agitating yourself child and settle down." She scolded to sound more so in command that how rebellious Lyco was currently acting. She remained in her dragonic shape so the other two witches took her seriously for her human form.... well most thought she was a ditzy young woman and not a force to be reckoning with.

Lycoris growled again but turned away, facing down the street away from the witches as she let her wings fold back into her body. She clenched her fists at her side, hiding her face from the naga, some of her scarring visible through her torn shirt.
"Whatever, it's not like I'd like the taste of her anyway. It'd probably make me sick." She hisses, but otherwise does as she's told and stands down. She wouldn't go against Naga's wishes, despite how much she might want to. She knew full well she wasn't fully healed, still not enjoying the reminder.
"I'm sorry." Vanessa spoke up again. "I don't have any excuses. What has happened to you was wrong." She tells keeps her head hung, not knowing what else to say in this situation. She could apologise all she wanted, but it likely wouldn't placate the young dragoness.

" And I must applaud you child for at least that, many would see it fitting for .... animals such as ourselves." Naga spoke with a royal air about her as she kept her cloak about her as if she had a slight chill.
" But what they forget is we -allowed- the humans to prosper. If my kind saw it right to of killed your race in the start it would of been so. We thought it was only fair for all species to prosper. Remember this next time you encounter one of the reptilian species. We were here first, and we will be here long after you fall." She warned as she turned her head to Lycoris.
" Come, I wish for less tension in the air and some relaxation." She spoke to Lycoris making it seem there was no affection there for Lycoris's sake. If this little witch did say something to one of the others.... well. They would not think they could use Lycoris to get to the Queen Naga herself. She would keep the younger dragon out of all harm that she could. She turned to start to move away when Claudius called out to stop her.
" Naga.... have you nested within the city?" He asked, knowing if Naga had officially nested within the city it could cause trouble for them all. If someone killed any of her hatchlings without cause well. The mother dragon could become quite violent. She snorted at this, blowing a bit of steam from her nostrils.
" This is only for me to know witch..... just because I did not allow Lyco to bully you does not mean I won't but you in your place myself if you bother me or my kin Lothair." She hissed before turning golden eyes towards Lyco as if to silently ask her to join her.

Lycoris looked over to the naga, knowing full well that she wasn't going to be allowed to follow through with her wishes. Even so she couldn't hate the queen for stopping her, she knew she was being stupid. That didn't really matter to her though, she just hated not being able to do anything about what had happened. Her wound not allowing her much freedom either.
"Don't think this means I accept that apology." The dragoness growled before following after Naga, not wanting to be around witches any longer. She imagined she was going to get a stern telling off anyway, so she might as well get that over with. What she would give for a relaxing flight right now.
Vanessa stood silently as she watched the dragons move off. Very much glad to still have her head. She finally turned her eyes up to Claudius, though the younger witch didn't say anything to him.

Claudius frowned as he watched the two move off into the shadows and disappear. She sighed as he stooped down to rest on his feet in a crouching position that was natural for his species. He looked over to Vanessa at this. A bit ..... unsure since he hardly ever showed her this side of himself as he flicked his tail in agitation. He then let out a long sigh.
" That could of gone horribly wrong..." The older witch spoke to himself since they had just seen the mother of all Naga which few witches had ever seen in person.... and live.
---
Naga waited till she was out of sight before turning into her illusion of a human shape. She frowned for a moment as she looked at Lyco from the corner of her eye.
" Need I remind you if you had gotten more so hurt then you already are I would be highly upset right now?" She scolded the other dragoness.
" It's one thing to seek vengeance when you are in prime condition, it's suicidal when you are injured child, especially messing with a Lothair, he is from one of the old families of witches. Old blood." She told her as she could hear her own footsteps upon the concrete. She was wearing gold colored strapy heels with a black mini skirt and a shimmery emerald colored tank top. She had golden rings on her fingers and a simple cold necklace with a dragon dangling from it as she peered over her glasses to eye up the girl a bit like a librarian eyeballing up a student.
" What were you thinking?" She asked as she turned before her and placed her slender hands upon the females upper shoulders and looked her right in the eyes with her own concerned orbs.

Vanessa kept her gaze lowered, not seeming to want to move after the encounter. She wasn't too worried about Claudius' form, having known about it and being fairly tolerant of night creatures.
"Thank you." She managed to get out in a strained voice, her hair doing a good job of hiding her face, something she was happy for as she didn't want the elder witch to see the tears that were threatening to flow from her eyes.
---
Lycoris tried to turn away from Naga when she was getting lectured, her eyes still avoiding hers even when the other reptile changed to her human form and held her shoulders.
"I wasn't okay. Just go ahead and say it, I'm a stupid impulsive child. I know it's stupid. I just can't stand all this waiting around to heal. I can't fly right, don't even know if I'll want to when I can." She complains, before flicking her eyes to the Naga's briefly.
"I didn't want to worry you... and I didn't expect Claud to protect her... like he protected me..."

Claudius stood slowly to full standing position, looking a bit awkward for a lesser gargoyle but trying his best to seem more human like before Vanessa. " Thank you." He smiled at her as he adjusted his glasses on his face. His brilliant teal orbs looked about, the sun having finally settled fully.
" Be on your guard most now..... the were's have changed..... and the rouges will start there hunt now....." He warned her as a distant howl rang through the city to mark the start of the night from hell.
---------
Naga sighed as she starred ahead at Lyco and ran her hand through her hair lovingly.
" Your not a stupid child, I know how it is to want vengeance but it must be planned accordingly so you come out on top. If you haven't noticed every person fails in the movies when they rush for their due. I don't want to see you get the wrong hand in this my dear." She spoke she stroked her cheek then placed a soft kiss to it with a gentle smile.
" And Claudius is a protector of everyone. Of course he would protect the child, as he would protect anyone in this city. That is who he is, or how in the least he perceives himself. As a shining knight on a white steed." She told her.

Vanessa nodded quickly, bringing a hand up to wipe her eyes. There was a time and a place for this but now wasn't it. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself, not wanting to be in a state when she needed to be focused. Soon enough she was able to hold her head up again, casting her eyes over the street.
"Then I'll do my best to assist you sir."
---
Lycoris frowned a little, turning away from the stork and kiss a little, though still blushing from the attention all the same. She didn't want to get distracted, something the naga seemed able to do to her fairly easily.
"I could take her if she's ever alone. Though I guess CLaud would hate me then. I probably shouldn't let that happen since he kinda looked after me." She growls, though clearly not wanting to cause the elder witch any trouble despite her words.
"Everything is too complicated. I don't like it. I just want to get all this done with. I'm tired of having it all hanging over me." She complains quietly, turning her eyes back to the naga.

Claudius blinked a bit as he saw the movement of Vanessa wiping something from her eyes. He put his clawed hand on her shoulder.
" I look forward to it." He told her, if they were to move back to the city streets out of the alley he would need to put his counter curse back in place. He stretched his spine a bit, whipped his tail once and flapped his wings as if preparing to run a course. He then crouched down in a natural sitting position for his current species and closed his eyes. He held a hand before him, concentrating hard as the symbols tattooed upon his skin moved and seemed to sway as they glowed a bit. A swirl of energy like a cocoon encased him soon leaving behind a simple dark haired man in cloths that were no longer tatters from the extra appendages. The man stood there as the energy dissipated but suddenly staggered as he leaned against a wall painfully for support. Hands ran to his temples as he winced, the counter curse in place of course starting his constant migraine all over again. He braced himself as he regained composure and suddenly stood tall, seeming the same old Claudius as before.
" Lets go streetside, keep a ear for commotion down the ally ways. " He instructed as he held out to her a small ear piece.
" In case we get separated I'll be able to contact you easily." He spoke as he looked down to his 'student' of sorts.
