Wormwood had been... well, pretty stunned when Draekon had showed up at the border in his new form. The last time he had seen the other male, he had been the handsome tiger that he was so fond of, and he'd been stashed away in the rogue lands where he would hopefully be safe. But now Draekon was finally at Tanglewood, and he was even bigger than his boyfriend than he had been before, while also being quite the handsome scaly beast that Worm was very impressed by. He couldn't exactly say that he was complaining, since he had already been pretty glad to be able to curl up against Draekon when the other had been a tiger, but now the other was even bigger, and that meant that Worm could snuggle even further into his lover's chest. Granted, he was pretty sure snuggling up against a dragon was much cooler than snuggling up against the warm chest of a tiger, which was a little bit disappointing.

Still, the lion had been extremely eager to go and see his boyfriend when they could be together in private instead of surrounded by his clanmates. He had been told by some others that Draekon had gone and taken up residence in a warehouse-esque place hidden in the swamp that Tanglewood called home, and with just a bit of sniffing for that familiar smoky scent had eventually led him to where the other was. Immediately smiling broadly, Worm practically charged forward over to the mostly feral dragon, rushing into his leg and nuzzling enthusiastically against Draekon's scaly hip. He rumbled softly as he rested his chin on Draekon's "knee", a lovestruck smile on his muzzle as he looked up at the enormous lizard, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Hey there, Drae~ Have I mentioned how happy I am that you're here?"[/glow] He had been in such an exhausted and worried state recently that the appearance of Draekon had honestly been a heaven send, to combat against the cloud of depression that had been clinging to Worm lately.

draekon had been tired after his journey, very achy- he still had burns on his feet that weren't pleasant, so finding a place with a cold floor was both a very good and a very bad thing. on one hand, his feet didn't burn as much with the cold concrete under him, but on the other.. it reminded him of his cage. it made a part of him feel an intense sense of dread. either way, he was sure he would be fine. he had wormwood, who seemed to always be there for him.

speaking of wormwood, the dragon twisted to look under his wing, lifting it when he felt a body collide with his back legs. at the sight of wormwood, he huffed softly- he couldn't exactly chuff anymore, so this was as good as they would get. he turned to wormwood to gently try and nudge against the male's chest. "yes." he growled softly, voice rough as always.

Worm let out a soft chuckle as Draekon nudged against his chest, and he yelped a bit as he fell backwards, caught off guard by the movement from his now huge boyfriend. Still, he hopped back up quite quickly thanks to the help of his wings, and he said with a soft smile as he reached up with his paws to get touch Draekon's muzzle, stretching upward to press their noses together lovingly, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Well, I'm going to say it again, because I'm very very glad that you're here, and that you're safe. I was so worried about you after I hid you away. I meant to come and visit you, but Jervis managed to screw up my leg very badly, and the medics told me I shouldn't be traveling long distances on it. See?"[/glow] He twisted around a bit to present his injured leg to Draekon, which was still wrapped up in slightly bloody bandages since he hadn't had a chance to change them yet since they had first been applied to the injured limb. He hoped that Draekon wouldnt be too worried about him or his injury, but he also knew that trying to hide it would be pretty useless, since Draekon was surprisingly observant most of the time, and now his nose was even bigger for sniffing out blood.

Not wanting to focus on his Jervis inflicted wounds for too long, he looked up and around at Draekon's new home, and he let out a soft impressed chuff at his boyfriend before speaking, [glow=#165042,1,400]"You found a pretty nice place to call home, huh? Plus it seems like you can fit in here pretty easily! That was something that I was kinda worried about when you first showed up in this new form, since you're much bigger than pretty much any of the houses around here..."[/glow] He was vaguely aware in the back of his mind that he was rambling a bit to Draekon, but he couldn't really stop himself that much, since he was so happy to see his boyfriend, and rambling made it so that his thoughts weren't occupied with the sadness and stress that he had been occupied his brain so often lately. He figured that Draekon wouldnt be able to tell that he was covering his more depressed emotions right now, since while Draekon wasn't an idiot, he usually wasn't so good at picking up on cues that he would be able to pick up something that Wormwood was trying very hard to cover up.

draekon didn't mind the rambling at all. he didn't mind it for a few reasons- he didn't have to talk as much, and wormwood's voice was a very soothing thing to listen to. though, wormwood didn't normally ramble like this- he could just be excited- he didn't quite believe that, but he wasn't one to pry. he slowly lowered his head onto the floor and just looked up at wormwood with massive, puppy like eyes. "min-e." he mumbled, slowly looping a claw into the chain around the male's neck. with this new body, he needed to use a lot less force then he normally would.

"stay? here."

The lion couldn't help the soft grin that came to his face as Draekom lowered his head down to look up at him with those warm and surprisingly soft eyes, and he immediately giggled happily when he heard the soft 'mine'. He allowed the dragon to pull him forward by the necklace that was looped around his neck, and he blinked in slight surprise at the next words that fell from Draekon's lips. He rumbled softly as he leaned up his a bit to touch his snout to Draekon's larger one, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Stay here...? You want me to stay here in this place with you? That's... huh. Well, I could, I suppose. I've been staying in my house in town for a while now, and it's finally starting to look like a real home now, but... I could always move my stuff here, if you really want me to, my love."[/glow] He supposed that he wasn't so surprised that his boyfriend wanted him to live in the same place as him, but he still wasn't used to being wanted so much by anybody, and especially wasn't used to being wanted in a home with somebody else. However, the main reason that Wormwood was slightly worried about living with Draekon was because if he was in the space with Draekon whenever he was relaxed, then Draekon would see when he was falling apart because of his emotions. Drae would see every time that he would cry, and every time that he would curl up in a depressive state whenever his thoughts got too suffocating for him. And he didn't want to worry Draekon with all of his problems right now, even if the other was his very caring boyfriend.
