(OH! I forgot I asked that. X_x and I didn't see the Axel bit until after I posted haha. Rock on! o_O Hmm..~_^ just have them both. <3)
Kolan seemed for all accounts dead, his breathing was barely there at all..his skin growing paler if possible by the minute. A fire dragon's life was like a flame, burning brightly..but at the moment..it was flickering, dying out into a mere ember..
Karelym nuzzled him back, "Well then, you needn't worry of the inconceivable my love. You will never be apart from me again."
Rollan felt movement and cracked open a lazy eye..he'd slept well last night..better than he had in ages..warm..and happy..opening his eyes a bit, he found himself looking to Laura..somewhat. Her head was under his chin. He smiled wolfishly, Good morning, my neera. How did you sleep? Rollan rubbed his chin on her head affectionately.

Elyon got to the shore and hurridly pulled Kolan up, worried about the way he seemed so lifeless. "Don't die . . . please don't die . . ." she muttered as she tried to remember what to do in a situation like this. Well she remembered, but she wasn't so sure she liked the option . . . She'd do it if it would save Kolan's life. Kneeling down next to him, she bent over him and took a deep breath, pinching his nose shut before putting her mouth on his, breathing out into him, one hand on his chest to feel if it would rise when she blew in.
"Morning Rollan . . ." Laura murmured out sleepily. "I slept wonderfully. How about yourself?" she asked as she pulled back slightly to look at him.
Coryn smiled and wrapped his tail around her in something of a loving embrace. "If I were in my elven form, I'd kiss you right now." he said softly, looking at her with love in his eyes.

Kolan's chest rose and fell as though breathing, but his appearance neither changed, nor did he awaken..instead he only seemed to grow colder...and then there was a low rumbling from his throat, and one name that came out as a choked cough from his lips, "Elyon.." And then the body suddenly jerked and took a deep breath, as if he'd been holding it. It was almost a gasp as his eyes opened wide and he cringed, writhing suddenly as if in pain.
Dragons were ancient creatures, all breeds of dragons were..and all had different abilities both normally and for certain things..for instance, each race had a different method of keeping death at bay. Sometimes it worked..sometimes it did not, and it wasn't guaranteed to happen..but this was the failsafe of a fire dragon. While in this failsafe, something was given up temporarily in order to grant strength to healing and keeping alive.
Kolan's body tensed, clenching his teeth as he hissed lightly..and then he let out a loud roar as he began to glow. Scales formed and then receded, his body grew larger in some places and smaller in others, it seemed not to know what to do..and then suddenly it stilled..and then shrunk. Within moments, where Kolan had lain was now a little boy, perhaps nine years old. The skin was warm again, the clothes ill-fitting, the same bright orange hair, now brought back to life it seemed..only on this younger form..and when Kolan opened his eyes, vivid and sparkling like fire before settling into a yellow-ish orange, he glanced to Elyon.
For a moment, he merely stared before his eyes widened in fright, sitting up and scooting back. "H..Human," he stammered, his voice young and bell-like, his whole body tense as he looked to Elyon.
Rollan chuckled a bit, before going serious as he licked her cheek once. I cannot remember the last time I slept so wonderfully..my neera. Thank you, he nuzzled against her cheek adoringly.
Karleym felt the tail wrap around her, guessing it was Coryn's form of embrace. There was love in her eyes as well as she set her arms over Coryn's tail, stroking him softly. "And I would kiss you back, holding you tightly, my love."

((I've got writer's block for Coryn now, so I vote that we leave the two lovebirds alone for a little bit.))
Elyon jerked back in surprise as Kolan underwent a change. She stared, a bit dumbfounded at the child in front of her and then her expression softened as she relaxed, making no move to frighten him, knowing what he had probably gone through at this time. "Kolan . . ." she said softly, probably the nicest tone she had ever used with him. "Kolan I won't hurt you . . . I won't let anyone hurt you anymore . . ." she said, still not moving, but at the same time wanting to wrap her arms around him and make him feel safe.
Laura giggled softly and then sat up and stretched. "Mmmm . . . we should probably get ready for the day ahead . . ." she muttered and then let herself relax from the stretch with a sigh.

(Haha, sounds purple. X-x the lovey stuff only goes so far when there's nothing happening. ~_^ I'm sure they'll be happy enough to continue without us for a bit haha)
Kolan looked to the human, listening as she spoke..she wasn't laughing at him, or trying to hurt him. Maybe she was a nice human? Mommy and Daddy had had a pair of human friends..they were nice, and The Lady as he called her made cookies for him a lot. He hesitantly came a bit closer, looking to her as he asked seriously, in a quiet voice, "Do you make cookies?"
Rollan gave a wolfish hmph, moving so that he was over her, his stomach on top of hers as he laid down stubbornly, knowing that without even his full weight, she wouldn't be troubled. I think I'd rather just lay on you all day, my love. Rollan looked to her with a mischevious glint in his currently yellow eyes, grinning playfully.

Elyon smiled a bit. "I haven't made cookies in a while, but I'm sure that if I ever get the chance to do so, I'll try my best at them." she said with a hint of a laugh in her voice and then held her hand out. "I'm not sure if you remember Kolan . . . but my name is Elyon . . ." she said with a smile.
Laura did her best not to burst into a peal of laughter. "Rollan!!" she giggled through her teeth, struggling to remove the wolf from on top of her. She gave up after her third try and then crossed her arms, looking away from him. "Fine. I just won't talk to you." she said childishly.

Kolan seemed hesitant, but gave a small smile. To him, people who made cookies were good. He'd seen good people make cookies, but never bad. The bad people never made cookies. Kolan didn't consider the fact he'd only met two good people.. At the held out hand, he hesitated, and then came forward shyly, placing his hand in hers and holding it tightly. "Elyon? That's a pretty name." Kolan looked at her a moment before smiling sunnily, "You're really pretty, Ely," he'd apparently decided on a shorter endearment term.
Kolan moved from holding her hand to going to her, wrapping his arms around her neck as he hugged her tightly. In his memories, he was actually eleven, having spent a year already in human company. But Elyon was so pretty and nice, and she made cookies..so showing affection to her wasn't a problem. Before his parents had been killed..he'd been a sweet kid..and even a bit after..it was the several years of torment that finally snapped him into the hard fellow he was today.
Rollan heard the giggle, feeling his love trying to remove him. As the other crossed her arms and looked way, his ears fell back against his head. Moving off her instantly, he moved closer to her upper body, nuzzling her cheek with puppy eyes. Don't do that, my neera..I'd miss your wonderful voice..Rollan licked her cheek softly.

Elyon let out a small laugh and a blush covered her cheeks. "Th-thank you . . ." she said and then hugged him back, holding him comfortingly . . . protectively . . . before she even knew it she had started to hum a lullaby her mother had taught her. Of course, since her mom had died a while ago, Elyon could no longer remember the words. However the tune would forever be in her memory and she hummed it now, only wanting to help Kolan feel safe.
Laura giggled again and then leapt so that she half-tackled him, half-hugged him with a, "Rah!" She nuzzled her face into his fur and, still giggling, responded. "It'd be too boring if I didn't talk to you . . . "

(I'ma die now..X__X> Nighty! *pats head and givez you a cookie plushie to sleep with* MUWAHHAA!)
Kolan felt the other holding him and hugged a bit tighter, pleasantly surprised. And then she began humming and his eyes widened slightly..she was humming? "You even hum pretty!" He said in quiet awe, nuzzling against Elyon.
Rollan felt himself being partially tackled, partially hugged and he laughed quietly, a little growly sound. I am glad my love, because I would be lonely without you. He moved a bit closer, his tail stroking against her gently.

Elyon didn't respond to Kolan's statement except to start rocking back and forth as she held Kolan, rubbing his back soothingly as she continued to hum the lullaby. If she could give him just a small bit of kindness while he was a child, then maybe . . . he wouldn't be so mean to her as an adult . . .
Laura giggled feeling Rollan's tail stroke her. "That tickles Rollan . . ." she said and then got up and stretched while standing by her bed. She turned to Rollan and smiled. "Shall we go?" she asked. Since it was the daytime, the children were allowed to wander through the forest. As long as they were home before sundown, the adults never worried too much.

Kolan felt his back being rubbed as she sang..Mommy had done something like that before..but not even The Lady would have done it for him...he kept his arms around her, but tilted his head to press a kiss to Elyon's forehead. Mommy used to say it meant comfort and love for whoever you gave it to..and the cheek was for affection..and the lips were for mommy's and daddy's.
Rollan grinned at her giggle, and at the question nodded. The sooner I can have you in my arms again, the better, my neera. He licked her hand.

Elyon smiled and finished the song before pulling back and then giving Kolan a small kiss on the nose. "Is it okay if I call you KoKo-chan?" she asked the little boy as she ruffled his hair. She was still being rather cautious around him, since she didn't want him to run off, but hoped that he would open up to her, and hopefully feel safer around her.
Laura smiled and then pet him a bit before suddenly running. "Can't catch me!" she said as she darted out of the caravan, changing into a fox midway.

Kolan blinked in surprise, blushing a bit and smiling shyly. And then at the nickname, he paused before beaming, "No one ever gave me a nickname before besides Mommy and Daddy..haha, yeah! Thank you!" He looked at her thoughtfully a moment, before smiling widely, "I'll name you..Vallynra. That's a fire flower..they're really beautiful, I'll make you one some time! Only..my magicks not the best yet, I'm still growing!" Kolan nodded sagely, and apparently he felt the nickname suited well since he'd used it in both form.
Rollan smiled at the pet, and then grinned at the words. We'll see, my neera. He leapt from the caravan and ran, starting out only a bit over half his usual speed, wanting to see Laurel in action and make this more entertaining for them.

"Can't catch me! Can't catch me!" Laura taunted as she continued to run, jumping over a shrub and heading out of the gypsy camp, into the forest. This was a common game for gypsy children. One would change into their animal form and the other would also change and chase them as they ran, so it was not unusual to see a rabbit chasing a dog, as the case sometimes worked out to be.
Elyon smiled and then remembered the vallynra she had in her bodice. She pulled it out and looked at it saddly. There was no way it could have stayed dry when she fell into the water. "It won't work anymore . . ." she said, feeling a bit downcast, remembering that the older Kolan said that he wouldn't make another one for her. And then this little Kolan admitted that he was still learning to use his magick. She let out a small sigh and then smiled at Kolan. "Thank you KoKo-chan." she said with a smile and ruffled his hair again.

(Rabbit chasing the dog, hahahaha)
Rollan gave a happy growl, chasing after her. "So you'd like to think," he called after her. He sped up a bit, darting over the same shrub with a wide, wolfish grin.
Kolan watched as Elyon pulled a muddied orange flower from her shirt. At the words, he blinked, smiling as his hair was ruffled before reaching for the flower. He was a bit disappointed that the pretty lady had a flower already though..he'd wanted to make one. "Oh it still works," he assured her,"You just have to get the dragon who made it to blow on it, like this." Only the dragon who made the flower could relight it.
Kolan blew softly on the flowers, and it flickered like the embers of a fire and when he blew again, his brow furrowed slightly in confusion, it burst back to life. He stared at it a moment, before handing it to her with an adorably puzzled expression, "That's strange..only the dragon who made the flower can make it light again.."
