[video] backdated just a biiiiit

[+1 to the late-to-the-event party but THAT'S OKAY this blonde teenaged militarily-dressed lady doesn't have much to say, but it is undoubtedly important. In fact, how this important factoid seems to have slipped by everyone's minds seems to utterly boggle her.]

I'll make this quick since I wouldn't want anyone to waste my time.

[Yes all this... time-travel business was jarring and important but this is unacceptable. She crosses her arms.]

Why are there so many dragons here?

That's hardly my experience.

Maybe I will.

[Yeah that is some vindicated teenaged tone going on there.]

Why choose a creature like that instead of any other?

How many dragons have you truly come across? The dragons here may be little like those you have encountered.

The ones you may find here are far more civil and reasonable than you might think. After all you are speaking with one right now.

[He seems none too bothered by her tone, merely crossing his arms as he regards her calmly

As to why it might choose those such as us, we are in general, highly intelligent and both physically and magically powerful.

[Her eyes widen as he announces this. She almost doesn't want to believe him but this could be that shape-shifting at work, as mentioned. How unsettling...]

I honestly hope I don't come across any personally.

[She lowers her head, stare still fixated on him darkly. He was being awfully polite and well-mannered, unlike anything she'd ever associate with a dragon or dragon-like creature. This conflict makes her uncomfortable.]

And it just happened by chance to also pick ones that aren't capable of violence and destruction?

[dragonlordbight]

So quick to dismiss the possibility I see, It could be quite an enlightening experience. Not all dragons are as you think, there are some on my world that may, but it is those such as I that protect the people from individuals such as they.

[He matches her dark stare with a calm unfazed gaze of his own, regarding her thoughtfully.]

Far from it,any being, especially those of draconic persuasion are capable of violence and destruction. That does not mean however that we are want to unleash such violence on innocents, no, I and many others would only unleash measure upon those who would seek to harm others.

[no_objections]

[Wait wait hold the space phone...]

You... protect people?

[And he doesn't like using violence and destruction on innocents? The disbelief is all too easy to hear in her voice but the way she lingers on the screen suggests that just maybe, just maybe, she wants to believe his words]

[dragonlordbight]

[He dips his head slowly, his tone sincere when he speaks.]

I do.

The citizens of Sanction, my city, could attest to this better than most for over fourty years I have protected Sanction and its citizens from many who would seek to harm them be they pirates, volcanos, invading armies or those dragons who would seek to harm or take Sanction for their own.

[There is a clear sense of pride when he speaks of Sanctio not for himself though, but for his city, his people.]

[no_objections]

[The word pirates elicits another knee-jerk reaction with Samus, though she keeps this contained to nary more than an eyebrow twitch. She wants to believe this guy--this dragon--she really does, but it's just so hard. Her scar runs too deep. He sounds so sincere and even proud of being a protector, a sentiment that resonates strongly with her. He's... he's not her dragon. That should count for something, right?]

...how many are left? Of Sanction? Are any here?

[dragonlordbight]

[ He takes particular note of her reaction to his mention of pirates. Interesting.

At her comment though he raises an eyebrow at her question though before speaking. Though still clearly quite proud when he speaks of the people of Sanction. ]

If you refer to the people of Sanction, over fifteen thousand call the lord city their home, hailing from many different cultures, species and places.

None from Sanction are here have yet been brought here to my knowledge, although there are others from my world, one of whom knows of me and my work with Sanction.
