Equinox for the first time appeared to notice the long, whiplike tail that usually dragged along the ground behind her. Her long neck stretching out, she raised her tail clumsily and waved it in front of her face- so that it almost ended up in her mouth- before turning back to Kyorai. She seemed bewildered by its existence; Equinox hadn't always been a dragon, and she seemed to learn new things about her body every day. First their was her still-unused wings, and now there was this tail... As far as Equinox knew, her tail might have still been as short and stubby as it was when she was a single cycle old. She'd never looked back, as it was difficult to see past her wings.
"I'd... have to test it out firsssst," Equinox gurgled, her tail flickering around in the near vicinity behind her. Now that she knew it was there, she just couldn't help it. Like a puppy chasing their tail. "I've never... done anything with my tail before. I didn't even know it wassss there." A ripple passed over her skin at the mention of her name, a sign of her perking to attention despite her lack of visible ears.
"Passssing through. But in this darknesssss, the heart isss the only place I can really find my way." Their demanding nature seemed lost on Equinox, who often struggled with understanding the purpose and reasoning of others as it was. She simply accepted all who came her way; at least until their tone turned to threatening.
Equinox was surprised when they noted that they knew another dragon. Equinox tilted her head, remembering her brief encounter with Baratheon, and what the older dragon had told her; that control would come with confidence. A smile twinged at the side of her beak with the thought. Was it possible that Kyorai had encountered the same dragon? Thinking deeper into it, Equinox thought it impossible not to be the same beast. Baratheon had thought for a long time that he was the only one, after all. But the elder dragon had mentioned a son, and a destructive dragon of the past as well. Perhaps it was Baratheon's son they had met? "The dragon you met... wassss it Baratheon?" Equinox asked, tilting her head to one side. "Baratheon told me that I'm a dragon. He ssssaid that I need to be more confident."
Then, they questioned her on magic. A curious one, weren't they? Equinox let out an audible sigh, and hesitated in her answer. "...My magic is desssstructive, if it can even be called magic. It's my ssslime that makes it bad, though. With it, I nearly desssstroyed Eridanus."
Shame enclosed her gurgling voice.
