All morning Luna had been out at the tents on the battlefield that was being prepared. She had been working Hard on lots of small things, preparing for the battle. Her nerves were still rather frayed over the idea that the hysterians were coming, but she had gotten better at concealing her alarm. She wasnt so lucid in her emotions over it now.

She was taking a break and having her noon meal. She sat on the grass with her back leaned up against a sturdy oak tree. Shr sat by herself, enjoying a bit of solitude after the hectic past few days. Being alone to think a little bit was nice. She took a bite of the bread she had and chewed it slowly as she observed her surroundings- the scads of people roaming about, the green grass, the sky full of white clouds. She felt the breeze toy with her feather-strewn hair. She took a deep breath. If only things could be peaceful like this.

As much as the girl was enjoying the quiet moment, she felt rather useless. There was a major militart force bearing down on them. She felt like she should be doing something. She tore a bit of the meat she had off and put it in her mouth as she contemplated what she could do extra to help out.

She thought over what she personally could do. She didn't have much she could really give exept her skills, and she wished she could somehow help more. Well she had snip and snatcher- who of course would help fight, but they weren't alot of help compared to most other dragons. Dragons. She thought- that was a good idea. She thought for a moment more. A smile spread across her face as she thought 'Scratchet'.

Luna rose to her feet and finished off her food in a few large bites. She made her way into the forest, with one thing in mind that dragon. She couldn't believe she was seeking out the assistance of that psychotic reptile. But she was. If that dragon could cause so much trouble to berk without hardly trying, imagine whatshe could do when she was trying! She could be quite a help. And Luna could bring her.

So Luna went off wandering through the forest calling the Nadder's name out in dragonese in hopes she would find her.

[[OOC: go ahead and assume Luna finds her wherever she happens to be]]

[Scratchet]

Scratchet was busy snoozing in a lush part of the forests - the tones of greens made the turquoise Nadder stand out, but at the same time was harmonious with her surroundings. Recently Scratchet hadn't been sleeping too good - and she had the Vikings to blame.

For the past few days now, the village had become more active and bustling, with the rate of smithing being raised to create a strange metallic symphony ring out from the village. The tension of coming war was reflecting in most of the creatures in the forest - making it harder to catch food.

For once though, Scratchet had isolated herself so much that she could finally get some good rest. She decided she would come here more often to sleep during this strange period of human activity. Just as she was about to nod off, however, a feminine voice echoed through the forest.

Scratchet grumbled. She recognised that voice. 'I thought she didn't like my company?' She thought. It seemed the tables had turned, and it was now Scratchet who was to be annoyed.

The Nadder spotted the figure walking through the woods, apparently not yet noticing her. One eye closed, one beady orange eye watching her with the other, she growled in irritation at the lack of sleep. 'Damn it, that human can be so loud when she wants to.'

If Scratchet had kept silent, Luna would have probably passed, ignoring Scratchet and leave her be. But her attitude recently was making her not as pensive as usual, and continued her deep rumbling growl that seemed to make the ground shake to those nearby.

Luna ventured a bit deeper into the forest and continued calling out the dragon's name in it's native tongue. Her eyes searched her surroundings, seeking the beast. The girl didn't have long, so she hoped she would be able to find Scratchet and convince her to come back to the village with her.

All at once Luna heard a deep rumbling of a dragon. It was loud and almost fierce sounding. She hadn't wanted to run into any aggressive dragons. She hoped this dragon wasnt so, but if that was the case, she prayed to the gods that she would be able to avoid them. She stopped in her tracks and looked around, seeking the source of the sounds with her big silver eyes, but rather cautiously- she wasn't exactly sure she wanted to know what it was. But Luna grinned a little and emitted a little laugh when her eyes were met with just the nadder she was looking for. "oh hiiiii, scratchet!" the girl said sweetly to the dragon, who seemed to be lounging around, not doing much else.

The dragon healer approached the dragon more until she was right beside her face, but clear of her blind spot. She looked at the dragon who seemed to be trying to imtimiatde her with her incessant growling. "you don't scare me" she told her dryly. The girl had seen that all this dragon wanted was mischief- she wasn't out to hurt anyone. Luna began to speak again "do you think you could help me scratchet, please?" she asked her. She stood beside the lounging dragon's head, watching her and waiting for an answer.

[Scratchet]

Scratchet groaned as Luna found her, and had come towards her. At least she had the courtesy to not stand in her blind spot. Scratchet didn't say anything in greeting, just looking up at the girl with her orange eye.

Scratchet snorted. It was pretty obvious that Luna wasn't scared of her, otherwise she wouldn't have come in biting distance of the Nadder. If Scratchet wanted to, she had the capacity to gobble up Luna in two bites. But Vikings were finnicky. They were too much trouble to eat when easier options were readily available.

It was only when Luna asked for her aid that Scratchet stopped growling. Opening her other eye, she lifted her giant head from the ground, now looming over Luna. She wanted her to help her? Scratchet was honestly quite shocked, not anticipating this. Then she arrowed her eyes. She may owe Luna, but the Nadder had questions too.

"I will," She started, "But only if you tell me what is going on in that blasted village of yours. The hyped activity is ruining my sleep and making the prey all skittish and tense." As a brief silence fell, it was true that the occasional clanging of metal from the village could be heard, even this far into the forest. "Is this something to do with this cacophony?" Scratchet asked.
