Academy library.

[JennyDK]

Julia's tails swooshes around vigorously and hyperactively, her mind already imagining a huge and noisy party with lots and LOTS of booze. Ohhh, the booze and dancing her legs sore! Still, she does manage to calm herself down and try her best to be considerate of Drake, especially as he indirectly gave her an 'okay' to her suggestion. She feels so giddy that she almost picks him up to hug him, but decides against very fast though."Ohh, really? Awwweeeesooome! Don't be scared...it will be...a bit more calm and without too much noise...okay? I mean...shiiiit..yess...a party! I can't wait! I am sure Hiro would love to do this way too....and if you are not into drinking...I will do the drinking for ALL of us! Whoooo!", she exclaims, really trying hard to not go overboard in her expression.

[Neptune]

She certainly was excitable, something Drake found more endearing than irritating. He had never met someone so excitable before, he found it a little interesting. It made him wonder where she could get so much energy from. She seemed to almost vibrate in place, she had that much energy. He smiled a little nervously at her as he reached up to slip the book he was holding back onto the shelf, being careful to place it back exactly where he had pulled it from. While it was an interesting book, he had not decided to actually study that one. He figured that perhaps he should concentrate a little more on modern history and move backwards. It would help him learn more about modern humans. It was clear that he really knew little about them when he didn’t know something as simple sounding as a party.

After a moment he said, “I… will try these drinks… but maybe not… too much.” He paused for a moment before asking, “Where do you have a party? Not in the dorms, I assume? Would they even let you party there? Or is this something off campus…?”

[JennyDK]

Julia, still in high spirits, thinking about yummy spirits, smirks wide and large, from ear to ear as Drake asks about where to do this party thing and of course agreeing to at  least trying some alcohol. She could nearly pick him up once more out of pure joy."Ohhh, Drake, my boy! Sounds like a grand time ahead of us! I can get some beers...those are not too bad for newbies at alcohol! I will make sure you both are nice and safe. PArties are only fun if you have a great time!", she says and writes down stuff to buy on her phone. While tapping away without having to look she smiles at Drake once more."Ohhhh...how about we go to The Golden Stream? It's in the city mall!", she suggests.

[Neptune]

“Beer…” Drake repeated quietly to himself. It didn’t sound like anything too objectionable. And if it was good for those new to drinking then it surely wasn’t that bad. A part of him was curious as to what a human drink would taste like. He had little idea what to expect but he decided to try putting in trust in Julia. She didn’t seem like someone who would trick him. He tilted his head down at her phone to see that she was typing something on it furiously. He looked back up to be polite before he blinked and asked, “Golden… Stream? … I’ve never heard of it before.” He was beginning to feel a little silly due to his clear ignorance but he had been quite isolated in his homeland and he had yet to set foot outside of the academy since arriving here. It was becoming very clear that Julia was going to need to act like some kind of guide.

[JennyDK]

"Yes...beer! Nice and cold ones...they are not that strong, really", she says and nods approvingly of her own suggestion. Though very much of it still seems to go over the head of Drake. She is not too bothered by this and simply stick to her ideas."It's a tavern. Where you go  to listen to some music, hang out, drink and socialize. The bartender is even an orc and very friendly!", she further states, already eager to go there, even now. She even comes closer and put an arm around his neck, pulling him close, fairly close to her rack, without really noticing herself.

[Neptune]

Drake drew interested at the mention of a ‘tavern’. He had heard about such a place, where humans would gather and socialise. It seemed like it would be a very good place to study human behaviour. Humans were, he had heard, very social creatures. He was beginning to be glad that Julia had decided to introduce herself. She seemed like a perfect guide to natural human behaviour. She certainly knew more than he did, and if she was as curious about them as he was then they could learn more together. When he felt an arm wrap around his neck, he stiffened in surprise as he had not been expecting physical contact. He then let out a small squeak of surprise when he was pulled closer until his face was practically motorboating. He froze in surprise, his eyes wide as he had no idea what to do, or even how to react. After a few moments, he stuttered, “U-uh… J-Julia? What… c-can you, uh… let go?” He could feel that his cheeks were red hot, and he had no doubt that he looked rather like a tomato.

[JennyDK]

While Drake was, no doubt, having his mind spin out of control from the sudden closeness, Julia kept rambling on, until the point where he asks to be released, to which she lets him go of course.."Ohhhh, sorry about...I was just really excited, buuuuuut....humans are also overall find with physical closeness, but maybe not to my degree, haha! Still...you need to work on that a bit...like...uhmm...shaking hands, I learned is very common..ooooor..friendly hello hug...you know...just smaller stuff. Ohh by the way...humans are apparently a bit more squeamish about sex...can you beelive that? Maaaann, there was this one guy...pretty handsome, buff...and pretty cool...he was very shy when I showed him my tail pussy. Strange, huh?", she goes on, clearly loving to talk when it comes to socializing.

[Neptune]

Drake breathed a sigh of relief when Julia had let him go, and he was glad that she didn’t seem to notice just how flustered he was. Nervously, he adjusted his clothing that had become slightly crumpled before he looked back up as she continued talking. He frowned a little when she spoke about shaking hands. He looked down at his own, wondering why humans would do such a strange thing. He looked back up when she moved onto the subject of humans being squeamish about sex. His frown deepened a little, and his eyes switched to watch her tail for a few moments before looking back at her once again. 

Despite his shyness around new people, he wasn’t really squeamish about sex. It was an inevitability of life, and those that lived within his forest never practiced relationships. Sex was a means to have fun, relax and form bonds. Although due to his young age, he has yet to engage in it as he left home before his family pressured him into fucking someone he didn’t particularily want to. He wasn’t really attracted to the females that they had encouraged him to have sex with. The only ones he had found himself attracted to were the males. He gave Julia a slight smile and said, “Well. I suppose it would seem a little strange to him since I doubt many humans have encountered something like that. I mean, I can’t say I’ve ever seen one before.” Before he could stop himself, his curiosity got the better of him as he asked, “Is it fully functional? Or… what? How does it work?”

[JennyDK]

Judging from his reactions and facial expressions, Julia can easily tell much of this goes beyond what Drake is used to or even knows about, in many areas, particularly being more physical and all. Still, one would think most monsters were at least fine with normal contact. Perhaps it was more the acts themselves rather than the idea of being physically close. The manticore woman contemplates asking further, but finally decides against it and let it just be a learning through experience thing. Thankfully, she doesn't really take offense to how he seems to retract from such advancements, at least beyond the sudden hug.

Her grin reappears as the young male asks about her tail and she lets it slowly approach him without getting to near, then opening up, revealing what basically looks like a bigger sized vagina. Something she is not at all shy about or feel the need to hide. OF course, opening it up is mostly for the proper situations. The scent of her extra bodily womanhood can be felt in the air, but not overpoweringly so."I suppose, but I mean...most males are happy to at least get show a little puss-puss, haha! Of course it's functional... why else would my kind have them? It works just like my normal one...except it's in my tail", she says and allows him to look as much as he wants.

[Neptune]

Drake observed the tail as it opened up slightly to reveal the insides. He could smell the subtle scent as it filled the air, and it wasn’t as unpleasant as he would have thought. He observed the glistening flesh. He still wasn’t too sure if he was the kind of person that would want to have sex with such an organ, but he was somewhat beginning to see why people would. He turned his attention back to Julia and gave her a small, shy smile, “I’ve never met a Manticore before today. I’ve lived my whole life in the Glowing Forest. Not many Manticore’s come that way. So I had no idea about the tail.” He explained.

[JennyDK]

Julia closes it once she seems finished examining it and exclaiming how he has yet to meet a manticore before today. Luckily, Drake seems unfazed by both her nudity as well as her tail, so that is a decent start."I have yet to know what monster you are though...you live in forest is all I really know...and that you can shapeshift. It seems fair to reveal your nature me as well, right?", she says, eager to see, hear or both hear and see what he really is.

[Neptune]

Almost self-consciously, Drake shrugged a little and gave her a little smile, “I suppose all I said was that I wasn’t human. I’m, er, a dragon. A Lampent Guardian… it’s a subspecies of the Nightstalker dragon.” He hesitated a moment before finally saying, “I suppose you’re curious to see? I’m not that big, since I’m still reasonably young but…” He trailed off before he stepped back and seemed to melt into his true form, his talons clipping against the floor of the library. The soft glowing of his markings lit up the books in a soft blue light. He wasn’t that large, roughly about the size of a Welsh Pony, but still large enough that Julia could comfortably sit on his back. He tilted his head a little and peered at her, blinking one blue eye at her. His snake-like tongue flickered out, touching her lightly on the shoulder. Then, to appear as less threatening as possible, he started to hum softly. However, it sounded a little more like purring than an actual hum.

[JennyDK]

Julia lets Drake step backward to do his transformation. Just like he never saw anything like her before, the same goes for this and she stares in awe, despite his size not being that immense."Ohh wow! That's cool! I like it...can you fly and stuff? Or...or...breathe fire? Anything cool like that? Or can I ride you?", she suddenly sputters, pretty amazed and eager to learn about the possibilties of this form and admiring his bodily beauty in this form. She moves closer to study his natural form much closer too, hopefully without being too much of a pain and such.

[Neptune]

Drake watched as she stepped closer, his purring getting a little louder at her awe. He shifted back a little, sitting back as his tail twitched a little. He tilted his head a little, pausing a moment before he spoke, the words a little awkward with his forked tongue, “I can fly. And yes, I can breath fire.” At her last question, he peered at her, looking her up and down a few moments before he said, “I should be able to handle your weight, easily. Flying might be a little strain but still possible.” He then looked at her own wings and asked, “Are you able to fly with yours?”

[JennyDK]

She has no idea why he is purring, but it doesn't really bother her in any way and it seems kind of cute as well, like he is some sort of scaley kitty cat. Luckily, understanding is only a little bit more difficult, so she can easily still converse with Drake, even in this natural form of his. She even gives a thumbs up for the fire breathing and flying abilities."Humans are surely interesting, but that doesn't mean us monsters are not either....this is extremely cool! I can indeed fly myself....but I have always wondered how it might feel to fly on someone else...of course, if you would ever allow it!", she says, still very fascinated and studying him, her tail swooshing about lazily.

[Neptune]

Drake tilted his head at her request and blinked an eye down at her before he snorted softly, causing a small curl of smoke to emerge from his nostrils, “Honestly, I’ve never tried carrying someone while flying. So… it would be a first for me, too. But I’m willing to try. At least, if you fall off, you’re able to catch yourself.” He said, his upper lip curling a little to show his sharp teeth in a grin. He was certainly willing to try. Many of those he knew would likely consider it beneath them to carry someone like some kind of beast of burden. He didn’t think so, especially if the person he agreed to carry didn’t take the piss, which he doubted Julia would do. 

[JennyDK]

Julia is ecstatic, clearly as her tail moves much more energetically and happily from hearing what is basically a 'yes' to her question. Her smile wide and big and she looks him over, trying to judge how to best get on before realizing the obvious."Ohhh, wow! Thank you! I would love to return the favour if I was big enough, haha! Awesome!", she says eagerly and flies herself onto his back. She pretty much less Drake decide where to fly, for how long and so on."Just go wherever you want and let me know when you want me to get off!".

[Neptune]

Drake arched his neck, looking back as he felt her weight settle on his back. As he had thought, she wasn’t heavy enough to really impede his flight. He shifted a little, testing the balance of her weight and he figured that he was going to have to be careful in flying, as he would need to practise with such a weight on his back before doing the more complex maneuvers that were commonly used in the forest to avoid crashing into trees and branches. His tongue flickered out, lightly touching her knee before he said, “Don’t be afraid to wrap your arms around my neck. It might allow you to better lean into my movements. I’ve never done this before so I apologise if things aren’t exactly smooth.” 

He then twisted his head back forwards, tilting his head slightly to look up and the judge the kind of clearance that he had. He was glad that the library was as large as it was, as it gave him plenty of room to fly. He tensed his muscles a few times before he skipped forwards several steps before launching himself into the air with his powerful hind legs and a downsweep of his wings. As he suspected, Julia’s weight made it a little harder to get into the air, but it was not impossible. After several strained sweeps of his wings, he was quickly climbing past the bookshelf which passed as a blur beside them. They emerged from between the shelves and into the main body of the library. Trying to be as careful as he could, he twisted so that he flew around the central column, flying up into the upper levels of the library. 

[JennyDK]

Julia just sits herself nice and tight, allowing Drake to do what he must to best keep his balance and everything else needed to not make this a blundering disaster. Luckily, even if they crash no one else is around to see their mistake. As prompted to do, she wraps her arms around his neck, though that does mean her naked breasts smosh against his form directly, the flesh utterly soft, warm and doughy. Her tail is kept close to her body to not add odd counterweighting everywhere it goes as well."I am sure it will be okay! Just dont' do it too fast or fancy", she says, speaking from her own flying experience.

After everything seems ready and good to go, they are up and flying around, Drake doing his best to be careful rather than showing off or any fancy maneuvers. Luckily, it seems to go fine thus far and it looks a lot more interesting to see and move around in the library in this fashion. The manticore feels no fear, which thankfully does make her pretty stable and stay firmly in place where she is.

[Neptune]

Drake was glad that Julia pressed herself flat against her back, reducing the wind resistance. He was vaguely aware of her body pressing against his, but he was too focused on flying to really notice. The two of them twisted in the air, spiraling up until they came to the top floor. Drake twisted, flying over the railing. Before he could fly into one of the shelves, he angled himself to just about miss it, his wing just clipping it. He rightened himself, flaring his wings and dropping down onto the library floor, skipping forwards to prevent coming to a sudden stop and accidentally unseating Julia. When he slowed to a stop, he twisted his head to look at her, “Are you alright?” He asked, hoping that the experience was neither harmful nor unnerving for her.

[JennyDK]

During the rest of the flight, Julia is pretty silent and hardly moved at all, perhaps indicating being scared and stiff. Though once they are both landed, she gets off with a heavy spring to her movement."Oh wow! That was awesome! We were like about to crash...then it turned right and the speed...wow! Very cool...though I do hope your wing is okay, of course! We could even fly around together outside sometime, haha!", she says, full of energy and vigor.

[Neptune]

Drake purred softly when she seemed so happy with how their small test flight had done. It had been better than he was expecting, and he was quite pleased with himself. At her concern for his wing, he tilted his head to look at it. It wasn’t really hurting, and nothing seemed to be broken, despite how delicate the flight bones appeared. He looked back at her as he shifted back into his human form. He rubbed the back of his neck as he gave her a shy smile, “I’m really glad you liked that. It felt a little weird carrying me, but I think it’s something I could easily get used to. It would be nicer to fly somewhere with a bit more room. Less chance of clipping my wing.” His smile then turned into a grin, as he felt a little infected with her chipper mood. The fact that she seemed to liked flying as much as he did, was allowing him to relax and feel more comfortable in her presence.

[JennyDK]

Every movement of her body does send her ample bust in violent motion as well, as Julia is pretty pumped from the short, yet very exciting flight, not at all considering how it might be against the rules. Even she is not aware of it, this was probably also a good bit of practice for physical contact. She does feel for wrapping an arm around his shoulder once more, but decides against it, not sure how well he would take it. She is just still full of energy."Most firsts feel weird and strange, nothing wrong with that! As long as you had a nice time, that's what counts! It does prove worth to try and go past your comfort zones sometimes, see?", she says happily back and her tail wooshes around energetically.

[Neptune]

Even as he felt himself becoming comfortable, Drake was suddenly aware of how much her breasts were jiggling. He had never really noticed such things in the past, but he couldn’t help but notice how hypnotic they were. It made him freeze in place, unsure how to even react. He jumped a little when she spoke, and he immediately looked up at her face, almost missing what she had said. He gave her a slight smile, “That’s why I’m here. I’m about as far out of my comfort zone as I can get. My family aren’t really ones for new experiences… I didn’t want to live my whole life knowing only the forest. I’m curious, and I wanted to expand my horizons. I’m not the most confident of people but… I’m not going to achieve my if I keep within my comfort zone.”

Spoiler

She is wearing this 

Lilac wondered around the library looking down at a slip of paper where she had listed all of the plant magic books that she was intent on reading. As she walked, her long green hair dragged on the floor around her, leaving a trail of flowers sprouting up behind her. "Herbal Magic: Controlling Weeds, Thickets, and Brush..." she whispered in a quiet and meek voice. "It should be on the top floor... I think... Why couldn't they be more specific about where it is..." Lilac was frustrated as she looked around the stacks, peeking through her long hair. "Where are the stairs..." she puffed up her cheeks in frustration as she looked around. It took her about an hour before she found a staircase. "Finally," she huffed as she climbed up the stairs. Lilac couldn't help tripping over her hair as she maneuvered up the stairs, grass coating each step as she left it.

Walking though the stacks of the top floor, she spotted two people just ahead of her. Her eyes trained on the two of them and one of the branches on her head hooked on one of the shelves while she wasn't paying attention. She let out a yelp as she was pulled back by her hooked branch. She stumbled back and stepped on her hair causing her to slip backward and knock over a shelf of books onto herself.
