PSL with Moon

[defendless]

[maybe moon hasn't been to this part of the world in the past couple thousand years, maybe he's just hidden his presence somehow

but he's been in the area for a couple of weeks when a wild-eyed young man bursts into-- wherever he is, regardless of defense levels, looking quite honestly mad. he's a mess, clothes damaged from a rough journey and who knows what all else, body at what would be a breaking point if he could break-- he hasn't slept or stopped running since he could feel moon. only homed in on that new, unfamiliar sensation of a dragon who isn't one of his brothers, is so much bigger.]

[defendless]

They were... Protective. I didn't know them very well. They wanted me to protect their brother.

[eggstinction]

Did you?

[defendless]

Until he died.

Of illness, to clarify.

[eggstinction]

Disease is the enemy our claws and fangs cannot cut… My sympathy.

[defendless]

Thank you. It's been... a long, long time.

[eggstinction]

May I ask how long?

[defendless]

My sense of time is really...

At least three thousand years?

[eggstinction]

Three—? No wonder you ran to get here.

[defendless]

Zeno's glad he makes sense.

[eggstinction]

It is too long.

[holds one hand out to zeno, palm up, and gestures with the other for him to come sit closer to the table. and croons a soft, draconic welcome]

[defendless]

[oh. scoots closer. something in him yearns, to hear that croon, but...

but he tries to keep his wits about him for the first time in weeks.]

[eggstinction]

[picks up a plate and starts filling it with snacks, even taking some uneaten ones off his own plate to be sure zeno gets the nicest ones to try. moon makes another sound, more like clucking, and sets the plate down in front of zeno]

Eat. You can rest here.

[defendless]

Ah... thank you. Zeno didn't get your name?

[he accepts the plate and starts nibbling. the man very much needs food.]

[eggstinction]

I am Moon. I am the first laid and the last hatched.

[defendless]

Oh.

[eggstinction]

I have other titles, but they are not useful here.

[defendless]

Is Moon the oldest or the youngest...?

[eggstinction]

That is a complicated answer, but it is suffice to say that I am older than anyone you have or will ever meet.

[defendless]

Zeno hasn't met someone older in...

[Almost his entire life]

[eggstinction]

Has it been lonely?

[defendless]

Very. I have my brothers, but... They don't live long at all. Even by normal standards.

[eggstinction]

...My descendents do not live long, either. You are the oldest I have met in a long time.

[defendless]

So we've both...

[Watched out family die]

[eggstinction]

Sadly so.

[defendless]

[thanks phone]

Zeno isn't...

[Alone? No. That's too much too fast.]
