Well, this was different.

Eragon was growing used to things being strange around him. One could almost say he was settling in if it weren't for his fears about the war back home. Juniper's warnings about the state of things in Alagaesia made him ache to get back there and finish it once and for all. And instead, he was stuck in a land where one day it was snowing and the next it was raining and the next it was sunny. Which spoke nothing for the fact that there seemed to be a carnival that morphed into a children's game which became...well, he wasn't entirely sure what this place was supposed to be.

He couldn't deny it looked fun, though. If only he knew what it meant. There was certainly nothing like it back home. Placing a hand on Saphira's shoulder, he looked up at her sheepishly. Just something else we don't know, he told her, sighing. Just once I wish this place resembled home.

The great blue dragon lowered her head to touch his shoulder with her nose. I know, Little One, she reassured. Think of this as a new adventure. Just something else on our journey.

Though he rolled his eyes, Eragon was grateful. As true as that is, I'd rather be on our original adventure.

They were waiting outside the dorms, enjoying the stares they occasionally received. It seemed as many different places as people were from, they were still a unique sight for many. Well, Eragon wasn't. Other than his high cheekbones and slightly tipped ears, he resembled most anyone else. But it appeared not many worlds had a dragon wandering around. Which is why the man from the journals was so excited. And Eragon was proud of the creature at his side. Not only for her accomplishments or for even just being a dragon, but because of the incredibly intense bond they shared. So he certainly didn't mind people admiring her, and she was willing to meet the man with the ships that traveled in space.

"Shiny?" Wash still wasn't quite used to other folks being unfamiliar with the slang terms he used. Back home it was normal, about as normal as breaking into chinese when the shit was hitting the fan. After another second, it clicked and he threw up his arms in realization.

"Oh! That's a compliment. Shiny is what you call something beautiful or amazing." He explained, that wide smile never leaving his face. "Which she is, and her scales," he added. By this point however, Wash felt like his rambling and wished Zoe was here to shut him up. She always knew when to stop him.

The expression on Saphira's face would've indicated a smile to anyone, not just the young man at her side who knew her better than anyone. Casually, Eragon leaned against the blue beast's leg, smiling widely. "She really is. Beautiful and amazing."

Little One, you do not need to flatter me so! This man's doing enough for the both of you. Her voice was teasing on the edges of his consciousness and he grinned over at Wash. "You're giving her a big head, I'm afraid," he said with a laugh. "She's become a common sight with those we fight with back home and they've quit admiring her so openly. I'm afraid she enjoys the attention."

A loud 'huff' blew the hair at the top of his head around and he grinned up at her. You make me sound vain, and conceited, too, Saphira complained. When I am neither, I'll have you know. And yet, there was still a smile in her voice. Have him come closer, if he wants. I won't bite.

"You can touch her, if you'd like," Eragon extended her offer. "She can breathe fire and all, but she doesn't unless in battle. Oh, or if she's cooking."

Wash seemed rather afraid to even move, but not out of fear ... he was still rather shell shocked. He took a moment, gave his cheek a bit of a slap. More to snap himself out of his stupor and moved forward. He let a hand timidly brush against Saphira's leg as he cast his eyes upwards.

He muttered something in chinese again under his breath, before he started to beam again. "She deserves it, I haven't seen anything as beautiful as her since I laid eyes on Serenity. That's my ship ... well, it's the Captain's ship. I just fly her, but she wouldn't fly true if it weren't for me and Kaylee."

Wash didn't realize he had started to babble again, but get him talking about Serenity and Space travel and it was hard to get him to stop.
