[ Her ears give a happy little wiggle. ]

I was! I am! There was so much everything, everywhere, and there were so many people. And Mao! He's so great.

[schrodingerscockroach]

First time to the mall, probably?

[featherbeaned]

What's a mall? That was Primark. I didn't know shops could be so big - it even had a cafe inside, did you see it? It smelled a little like me! The cafe, not the Primark ...

[schrodingerscockroach]

Basically that. A place where a bunch of stores are all together and usually a food court.

The cafe did?

[featherbeaned]

It wasn't a bunch, it was all just one. A really, really big one.

Yep! Wanna smell?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Oh.

Huh, guess it was more like a Space Costco.

...sure? [HOW WILL YOU DO THAT?]

[featherbeaned]

What's a Space Costco?

[ Picks up a bunch of her (quite ridiculously) long and floofy hair, offering it up to him. It smells, quite strongly but definitely not unpleasantly, of s'mores mocha with a hint of campfire. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Really big store with a lot of selections and indoor food places, though that's usually more limited and they sell more in bulk. But they'll usually be a little more hang out-y than normal Costco.

[ewjaoiejw well....okay...]

[He'll lean forward to sniff]

.....why do you smell like a s'mores?

[featherbeaned]

[ ohhh my god ]

When we've saved everyone and everything, I'm going to a Space Costco. We're going to a Space Costco! [ FIELD TRIP. It sounds amazing ]

[ As for her hair - ]

I dunno what a s'mores is. That's just my scent.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yes, we can go to Space Costco. As long as I'm not trapped on another planet, I seem to get trapped in a lot of places.

A camping traditions of marshmallows, chocolates, and graham crackers. I'm not even sure how a person smells like that without being made of sugar.

[And like he had to have taken at least a few chunks out of her when they fought, presumably she is not made of sugar.]

[featherbeaned]

You should stop that. [ It's a bad habit, Dusk! ]

[ Tosses her hair back over her shoulder, smoothing it down with her fingers. Insomuch as hair that floofy can be smoothed, anyway ... ]

That sounds tasty. [ Mental note, GET S'MORES. ] But for me, for dragons I guess, it's not about what you're made of; it's about who and what you are, and how you're feeling. Scents tell a story.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I really wish I could, but the shakes just keep coming back. [Joking. He really would like to stop.]

They are. I can show you how to make them sometime if you want.

So like...you get scents that aren't based on just like....hormones? I think it's hormones that affect it most.

[featherbeaned]

Hmph, well, you've got me now. I'd rescue you. And then you can make me s'mores to say thank you.

[ The deal of a lifetime, truly. ]

Hormones ... Hm, don't know. [ Now that she's started running her fingers through her hair, she doesn't stop. Don't know how to explain. Humans don't know pack-scent, right? You don't use your noses much.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I mean, we get rescued eventually. Or we get into a planet's civil war? It's a little confusing what's going on. How fast of an interplanetary tracker are you?

But s'mores is always good.

Not really, no. Usually someone needs a really strong scent or we have to be super clsoe to them to smell them.

[featherbeaned]

[ Dusk, your life sounds so complicated. ]

I'll be as fast as I need to be. [ Can dragons fly in space? Can magic dragons fly in space even if regular dragons can't? All good questions that Eliza may or may not know the answer to. ]

[ Rather than voice all of that, she ... leans in close to him. ]

[ And sniffs. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[IT REALLY IS]

Try and bring back up, we keep getting into stupidly big conflicts.

.....

[UM]

[featherbeaned]

[ sorry she's not sorry ]

[ SNIFF SNIFF ]

Hm, lots of metal ... [ sniff! leans back again ] Lots of Clover, and people. Soap. Did you eat banana earlier?

[schrodingerscockroach]

[So much metal. Weapons and armor does that.]

...yeah. Its good for breakfast.

[featherbeaned]

Apples are better. [ MORE CRONCH. ]

I can smell ... sense? A little more than that, too. But not as much as I could if you were a dragon.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Strawberries are best.

Have you remembered meeting another dragon?

[featherbeaned]

Apples! [ apples for sure ]

No, no. Not remembered, not yet.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Nah. Apples are pretty good, but... [Shrugs.]

[Nods.] Eventually then. Do you know if they're all as fluffy as you?
