Rialynn makes a very good point, but Jack maybe thinks he knows the answer. "Dragons are hoarders. At least, that's always the story, right? A dragon in a cave sitting on a huge pile of gold and gems?" Hmm. "Maybe it wants one it can't get inside the forest? Something new?"
Jack pats down his pockets, then holds up a single finger and pulls off his pack and starts digging through it. "'s around here...somewhere. Was saving it for when I was gonna get some armor crafted..."
no subject
Though that doesn't explain Jack's laughter.]
A new crystal...? [How is he supposed to know what kind of crystals the dragon can't find in a forest made entirely of crystal? It has to be something special, something extraordinary in that case...
He pulls out his own Crystal from a side pouch and gazes into the deep red core. This has to be what the dragon was talking about.]
no subject
[The dragons eyes move from person to person as each person as it's sharp teeth gleam in the soft lighting of the forest. Terra takes a step forward having lead the group into the forest. She doesn't see the dragon as anything bad so she sees no reason not to continuing talking to it.]
If we find you a crystal will you let us pass?
[Her voice is soft and in response the dragon nods. She then turns towards Jack.]
There is a fire crystal in my sword... would that work?
[She really doesn't know and she's nervous when she sees the way that the dragons eyes fix on Dusters Crystal.]
I don't think using yours is a good idea. [She has a bad feeling about that but the Dragon now seems Keen on Dusters Crystal.]
You have no need for it. [His voice rumbles again.]
no subject
I...don't think you want any of the ones we carry. They'll just disappear and wind up back in our possession after a little while anyway, won't they?
[She looked toward one of the other Heroes for confirmation on this. Kuponia had mentioned it to her previously, but she wanted to make sure she remembered this correctly.]
no subject
Uh, Duster is holding out his own stone, and Jack looks at him cautiously, frozen with one arm still stuffed halfway into his bag. When Jack Harkness thinks something is a bad idea? What's the best way to talk both hero and dragon out of it?
The bag drops with a thunk, and Jack emphatically nods at Rialynn. "Yeah! Last time I left home, I even tried to leave my crystal behind, and it didn't work. I tried to use a job ability, and I just automatically," Jack waves a hand, "brought it to myself. So, you give it to him, and then you'd accidentally take it back."
There is a nervous pause, as Jack watches them both to see if they're believing him, even though Jack isn't lying. "Annnd all those stories about dragons also say that the last thing you ever want to do is to go back on any deal you make with one."
no subject
He pockets the red crystal.]
Is everything alright? You look nervous. [Is it the dragon, or something else?
Speaking of the dragon, he turns to it.] Do each of us need to give you a crystal?
no subject
I've heard legends of those crystals. [His voice rumbles menacingly from his chest.] I could find a way to make it stay.
[Terra takes a step next to Duster lowering her voice so that the dragon might not overhear.] That crystal is your life here. Without it you can die. [She honestly doesn't know all the details but she wants him to know how important that crystal really is.]
[The dragon seems to be looking for another reason not to take Dusters crystal though his eyes seem to now fix on the Light Crystal in Jack's hand. It really is pretty and he isn't sure if he has one quiet so beautiful in his collection.]
late to the party
[His eyes turned to Jack's Light Crystal as well. If they didn't all have to provide one for the benefit, and Jack was willing to relinquish his spare...]
I think yours has caught its attention...
[He murmured to Jack, gesturing to his bag.]
Re: late to the party
Jack moves very deliberately towards the Dragon with the Light Crystal outstretched. Yess, you want this one. Bright white with the way that the light reflects through it? Jack slowly and carefully puts it down on the ground close to the Dragon. "A gift, then." So you will please not eat us all?
END!
I accept.
[The voice rumbles from his chest before disappearing into the trees.]
