Aurum rolled her eyes as he scolded her on leaving her own horde. She brushed off her upper thighs from any dirt and replied with a sharp tone, "Stealing from a dragon is,by far, the more foolish choice," She listened to his questions and she sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose between her hands. She closed her eyes and shook her head some, then dropped her hands and looked at him again. If he keeps underestimating me.. She thought bitterly, and pointed one hand toward her real home, speaking with slight annoyance, "I traded in one of the towns near the castle, that's all I got.. but at least it's more than you," With a quick squint of her eyes and a small huff, she dropped her hand and began the trek. She was used to going to the next town or so on foot, and then flying from there.. but she would have to avoid that this time around.

He knows, Aurum's eyes flashed with something mixed with worry and uncertainty. "I simply have two homes," Explained the woman carefully, only tolerating the prodding to get what she wanted. She smiled cautiously to his tease and spoke again, "Though, when the war does end, I would need a bigger cave.." She seemed thoughtful with the words, but waved a hand dismissively and kept up her pace. If the man knew who she was, he might have different plans now. Well, she wasn't going to be kidnapped or ransomed, that was just a fact. She wouldn't allow it. The dragon walked quietly for some time, glancing to him every now and then, completely untrusting of him now that he even hinted at knowing who she was. "We should stop in the next town," Said Aurum, brow furrowed just slightly as she continued on. The youngest princess might just ditch him and go back to her cave.. or her real home. She wasn't sure just yet.

Aurum realized as they kept walking that she was having to take many more steps than him to even match the pace that she had set. It was not a problem so much as an annoyance.. she was a mighty dragon! She was large and powerful and it was something of a curse to her to be so damn small in her humanoid form. His words were pushing her farther towards her decision to leave him the more he spoke. Well, that is until he mentioned more payments for her time with him. Sure, he knew how to pull the dragon in, that was very true.. but she was also wary of the man knowing who she was. Squinting some, she slowed and eventually stopped altogether, "I'll stick around for more items, but I need truths," Aurum's fingers twitched and she sighed, but her look turned hard. Any trust that had built, if any, was clearly gone, "Who are you? How do you know who I am?" She wasn't asking his name so much as what his status was with humans in order for him to hear about her.

Crimson orbs narrowed suspiciously as he spoke of being the prince, and she gave a huff through her nostrils at his bow. Arms crossed over her chest and he spoke again, this time preaching this as his truth, and she frowned as he seemed to say he was on a quest for this book. While this story fit, the man no longer smiled, and Aurum turned her head some, as if pondering over the two choices carefully. When he told her who she was, of course, she huffed again, though this time there seemed to be something like smoke that burst out. Her cheeks and nose were pink from her frustration at the situation. The dragon looked back to the man, still eyeing him with heavy suspicion, "Why should I trust that this is not a trap in itself? Especially if you know who I am?" She questioned him, but the small girl was hardly as frightening as she might have thought she was while glaring at the human.

The more the man spoke, the deeper the color of her cheeks. This though, was just from embarrassment. The younger of the two lived a much different life than the man before her, and trust was not something that was simple to gain or give in her kingdom. Aurum had rarely trusted those around her - and with good reason. Almost none were really hoping to keep their end of any bargain.. merely moments before she had been planning to abandon the human in a beast town, after all. The dragon's lips pursed slightly into what might have been a pout, and her eyes had returned to their normal uncertainty. If the man trusted her, he was a damned fool.. but if she trusted the man she could end up in a very sticky situation. Once her cheeks dimmed, she spoke with a sense of defeat and hesitance, "I do not think you are who you say, but I suppose-" She pursed her lips again, "We could continue this journey." Keeping her arms half-crossed, Aurum sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose between two fingers, "And I could use a drink.." She muttered, before using her other arm to motion him to continue with a few waves of her hand.

Aurum watched the man change his shape to that of a more wolfish form.. and cover himself in a scent rather unpleasant to her senses. Oddly enough, after a few moments, her nose and 'magical' senses slowly calmed and she realized that even the magic she had sensed before was seemingly gone. Or, at the very least, the magic had been covered up by this spell. That's weird, Thought the dragon, watching him with a certain interest that had not been there before, piqued by the more he used him magic and showed her. Perhaps he could be tutor to the prince, but Aurum was still very unsure of that. The dragon decided not to comment on the change, and simply waved her hand again to signal for him to walk on. In case he didn't, she started to walk again, her short strides covering little distance as pushed the journey forward.
