Dragon on Deck! [action OR prose]

[unionjackoff]

[if you are awake at this hour of the night, you are going to see something really awesome... or really scary, depending on how you look at things. there's a huge red dragon flying close to the ship. It swoops around, darts up high into the sky, then back near the water. it goes forward and comes back... no matter where it goes, the dragon always returns to the ship's side.

most of you are probably wondering what this beast is doing. it can't be here to kill you, right? most of you are already dead. BUT WHO KNOWS. it could be hungry! it could just want to make trouble. or maybe it just wants to tak along.

actually, this dragon is a very restless inmate, one who's tried to keep his secret under wraps so he wouldn't scare the humans. but even his magic cannot last for a week. even he needs to stretch his wings. he won't harm you. in fact, he'll probably ignore you unless you try to hurt him.

if you're his warden, poor you. you get to explain to everyone what the hell is going on]

"I'll be fine," Arthur said as he ducked his head shyly. Prussia didn't need to fuss over him, but the fact that he wanted to made the dragon happy. "I just have to change and dry my hair. You go to bed."

He did feel bad about getting Arthur soaked. And it seemed to make the dragon not as snappish, which was good since they were stuck on a relatively small boat together. "All right. But if you don't warm up any, come find me! I dunno if we can get sick, but I don't wanna find out." Prussia even gives directions to his room.

"Wh-why would I need to find you?" Arthur's cheeks burned. It looked like he was warming up already! He took a step back into his room.

"So I can give you my blanket, of course! Or hold you, but you don't look cold enough for that." Prussia grins widely at Arthur, patting him on the shoulder before he could retreat too far. "Gute Nacht~!"

Dammit, even joking that wasn't appropriate! Arthur grit his teeth as he made an undignified noise when Prussia said he'd hold him. "G-Good night!" And he shut his door quickly. That wasn't fair at all!

At least he wasn't angry. For right now. After Arthur warmed up, he would most likely seek Prussia out again so that they could continue sharing stories of their world. This whole country thing was strange. The dragon wanted to know about his counterpart.
