A canine-shaped Construct ambled along the beach, frolicking in the surf, with a small blond boy trailing behind it holding a notepad.

"Very interesting," commented Carl Heinrich to himself, as he observed Killbox Rex leap and narrowly miss catching a seagull in its mechanical jaws. The boy made some notes with a pencil. "We'll have to tune up those jump actuators, the lift output is only about 80% of expected force."

[Fiadh]

Slightly further down the beach, a commotion was being caused inadvertently by a small girl and a very large dragon-like creature. Fiadh had moved to a side of the beach, scaring off some people with Riki growling at them, and was now drawing a large square or circle shape in the sand around where they had settled. Counting her feet as she was stepping around doing it.

The flaming Dragon had now settled in the middle of the circle, after the people had finally left them alone Just watching the girl drawing her square circle thing.

The blond boy's eyes grew wide as he recognized the girl and her fiery companion.

Striding determinedly down the beach towards her, he faced her and declared portentously: "SO! It has COME to THIS!"

A wolflike Construct tagged along behind the blond boy. It tilted its head curiously at its human's peculiar actions. Were these new friends?

[Fiadh]

The girl turned, drawing her bow and arrow at the same time and nocking it. The dragon in the circle had also jumped up. Both looked to be in a very aggressive stance, and both the girl and the dragon were growling.

[Carl Heinrich Mauser]

The blond boy's eyes narrowed at the girl's aggressive actions.

"I knew it! You are the notorious WILDFIRE GIRL who has been terrorizing Sargaros, are you not?" he challenged. "Have you been FOLLOWING me for some NEFARIOUS reason?"

Rex sensed the tension in the air and began a mechanical growling as well.

[Fiadh]

The growling from the Dragon intensified, as did the heat from it.

"My circle. Go away" she hissed from the centre of her more square than circle thing as if protecting her territory "not know you."

[Carl Heinrich Mauser]

"I have no DESIRE for your, uhh," He struggled for the term. It wasn't a circle! "GEOMETRIC SHAPE," he said at last.

"Why should I? Is it IMPORTANT somehow?"

[Fiadh]

"My circle. I here. You not" There was another hiss from the girl "step back. Out my circle!"

The Dragon, clearly getting more agitated, had taken a step forward. Head low.

[Carl Heinrich Mauser]

"You're CLEARLY up to NO GOOD," the boy declared, stepping behind the mechanical wolf, who had lowered its head at the dragon's aggressive moves. "You leave us little choice! And anyway it's NOT A CIRCLE!"

[Fiadh]

"My circle" the girl said again, although she did seem to loosen her stance slightly when he stepped back behind the wolf and off the line for her square-circle thing "me here. Find your own circle."

The Dragon had also stopped moving forward.

[Carl Heinrich Mauser]

"FINE!" the boy snapped, his face reddening. "I'll go make MY OWN circle. And it'll be a BETTER circle, because... because it'll be GEOMETRICALLY CORRECT and it won't have CRAZY people in it."

The blond boy made an audible "harrumph" and turned to go.

[Fiadh]

"Fine!" The girl replied with a hiss, turning to her Dragon and starting to make what sounded like growling and other animal noises. The Dragon in turn seemed to reply, and then turned keeping his eyes on the wolf. The bow and arrow had relaxed, although she was walking backwards to finish making her square circle thing. Using the arrow now instead of the random stick in the sand to continue drawing it, which made it shaped even worse.

[Carl Heinrich Mauser]

The blond boy kicked at the ground in frustration, then flounced off with a disgruntled expression. The Warwolf gave the Dragon a final glare before following.

[Fiadh]

The glare was met with a small puff of fire, while the girl finally relaxed slightly. With the other human trying to invade her circle not nearby, she began to put her camp together. Soon having her tent taken out and set up, giving her dragon a gentle shove to get it out of the spot, and earning a growl for her trouble that was returned in kind.
