2nd step. audio.

[uncertainty]

It'd be nice, if I could have my powers because, because if I could then, maybe I could ask the dragon to please stop setting things on fire and, maybe come to a mutual understanding about the situation. Uh...

If, anyone needs any help, I'm not - [ he cuts himself off, that's not what he's supposed to be saying now. ] I mean, I'm confident and self assured so I'll do, uh, a lot to make sure that everything ends up okay, so, there.

[ he's kind of holed up in the library and has been having a very serious internal battle about whether or not to brave the chaos outside. ]

[ She feels your feel, Tavros. She feels your feel. ]

Ah... Tavros-kun - you speak dragon...?

[ audio ]

[uncertainty]

Uh, no. Not really. I can - could, to be more accurate, I guess, commune with animals and make them my friends. Or at least, ask them to stop burning things down and just go away.

[ video til further notice~ ]

[unify]

That sounds.. nice.

[ She can't help but smile a little at that. It's meant to be reassuring, even if it doesn't quite reach her eyes. ]

Are you okay, Tavros-kun? Wherever you are... You're safe, right?

[adherent]

[OH GOD HE IS SO ADORABLE SHE CAN'T...]

You can talk to him?

[uncertainty]

Yes. Or, I could, before they took my powers and, replaced them with these significantly less useful ones.

[adherent]

I'm sorry to hear that!

[She tilts her head.]

What powers have you been given?

audio;

[amajestictale]

Well, I tried and it doesn't look like it's paying much attention to me trying to talk to it either.

It's possible it just doesn't want to talk with us, which is very rude!

audio;

[uncertainty]

It would certainty benefit from, uh, a serious attitude adjustment.

audio; abububu tav so cute

[amajestictale]

You said you had powers to talk to them, before?

[...Tavros, what even was that last part?]

Do you think it'd listen?

[uncertainty]

tHEY DON'T USUALLY SAY NO,

[percentages]

Confidence is essential in destroying an enemy.

Your help will be required.

[SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA YOU ARE SO NOT ANY OF THAT, TAVROS.]

[ audio ]

[uncertainty]

[ This can only end in tragedy.

Or burns. ]

Uhh... Exactly, so, as I am most definitely the most confident and, prepared for such a task, even if I don't have any useful combat powers or, experience with fighting dragons, I will help.

[oxidizing]

And if the dragon thinks self-confidence sounds delicious?

[uncertainty]

uHH,,,,

[ that is the most excellent of excellent points. dragons in stories tend to eat brave people. ]

[freakystrong]

D --> Where are you
D --> Why are you not out and about assisting with the fires
D --> I didn't make you those legs so you could sit around talking about self-assuredness

[uncertainty]

aT THE LIBRARY,

[ Well. Whoops. ]

hI EQUIUS,,,

[parasiteye]

....You seriously just want to ask the dragon nicely to please stop.

[audio]

[uncertainty]

yES,
bUT NO,
wHEN YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT IT SOUNDS, kIND OF DUMB,
aND NOT AT ALL WHAT I MEANT,

[ OH WAIT it's that one guy who just yelled at him when he typed back. ] Yes, but, when you say it like that it sounds dumb and, that's not what I meant, at all...

voice;

[takebow]

...Well, maybe you could talk to him anyway. He seems to speak this language... I'm assuming that voice was him.

voice;

[uncertainty]

He doesn't seem like a very talkative dragon.

Audio

[crabby]

Do you really think you'd be able to get yourself to talk to a dragon.

Audio

[uncertainty]

Oh, sure! Dragons aren't actually all that scary, at all, and they look really cool. And the flying, oh yeah, that's really neat too.

[ no it's just trolls he's scared of karkat you're silly. ]
