Who: Tonks and [OPEN]
What: Exploration and dragons?
When: Saturday afternoon, April 2nd

Tonks had been in Cardiff, in the year 1999, no more than a few hours when two things happened. One, she was tired of hanging out in the new digs which, while very nice, was rather different than her small flat in Chiswick. She had actually demurred on the given quarters, but was kindly reminded that her flat may no longer be her own. Four years had past, after all, and a lot could change in four years. After pointed questions, she also found out that they were attempting to keep everyone who came in through the Rift in a central location as to keep them close while figuring things out.

The pink-haired woman attempted to grill them on a few other things and, while they weren't exactly forthright with their information, their demeanor made Tonks believe a few things about her future.

So it was with those thoughts in mind that she decided to go for a walk and check the area out. She had never been to Cardiff before at any rate, so the exploration would probably do her some good. Tonks stepped out then, rolling the shoulder that had been banged up during the battle and that the Ministry was good enough to patch up while orientating her, and looked around. It was then that she saw something that perhaps was strange for Cardiff. There was a dragon, a Common Welsh if memory and hours of listening to Charlie Weasley back in school served correctly, perched atop of a building. Just like a very large gargoyle.

The pink-haired woman looked around, watching as others looked upon the creature warily but attempting to mind their own business as not to catch its attention, and then made her way closer. Just to make sure everything was okay.

"Thanks!" Looking over, Tonks smiled over at the other woman, pausing as she attempted to sort out the accent. Eastern European, from the sound of it, though she couldn't pinpoint the exact where of it. "And you're not losing your mind, love. That's definitely a dragon."

She looked around again, searching for the handlers. "Though what it's doing round here instead of a reservation, I'm not sure."

The dragon itself looked calm for the time being. It stretched its wings and made noise, but didn't seem to actively cause trouble yet. Tonks hoped that it stayed that way, but had no idea what did or didn't go on in dragon brains. "Maybe it wanted coffee?"

"Do dragons drink coffee?" Yelena had no idea since she hadn't even known they were real until about five minutes ago. "We do not have them where I come from. In books, yes but not real ones. That one is definitely real." She continued to watch it but it was just stting there.

Glancing over at the pink hair woman, she said "My name is Yelena, I haven't been here long. Couple of days, I guess. No one told me about dragons." They'd explained things well enough but the presence of mythical beasts wasn't on the list.

"Tonks." She replied before laughing and shaking her head. "Don't think they drink coffee, but if that's what keeps the bugger happy and not trying toast us like marshmallows.."

In spite of having seen someone write about not being from here here, and another even talking about different planets, Tonks still looked a bit surprised at the idea that not everyone was from this..realm? Universe? She was uncertain on the term. But she did suppose that it was similar to Muggles finding out the truth. "Just got here myself! I just time traveled though. So magic isn't real where you come from?"

"I think keeping it happy is a very good idea. He can stay up there, I am fine with that." Yelena wasn't exactly scared, it took a lot to do that but she did have respect for something that was so much bigger than herself and could also breathe fire. Not to mention that it could fly and very easily pick one of them up and take them away. Thankfully Fanny was inside the flat they'd been assigned or she would be concerned.

"What do dragons eat? I'm curious. He's going to want food eventually." She shook her head at Tonks' question. "We have had aliens show up before, people with super powers but not magic. As far as I know, we don't have it but there are a lot of things I do not know. I was born in Russia and I spent a lot of my life there but I have travelled a lot in recent years." Like to some weird limbo place that she could not remember but was apparently in for five years. After that, dragons didn't really faze her all that much.

Tonks was very much in agreement with Yelena on that one. While dragons weren't exactly frightening, she wasn't going to go and antagonize the thing either. In fact, the plan was to keep an eye out and make sure that it didn't get antagonized by anything or anyone else.

"I'm hoping someone can wrangle him by that point. We don't want to be around for lunchtime, like." Her brows furrowed in thought as she tried to recall dragon food. "Goats a lot. Animal stock." People, if pressed. Tonks did not mention that last part. No need to worry the muggles even more.

"Aliens?" The witch was surprised and impressed. "Dragons oughtn't be a problem then!" As Yelena explained she was from Russia and traveled, Tonks moved her hands in a small expression of excitement that she guessed the general area correctly. "Oh! Your accent is lovely, by the by."

"If they eat goats and animals, I will keep Fanny out of sight until they are gone. Fanny is my dog," she explained. "I am not sure how it happened but I had been here a couple of days and then she showed up in my apartment. It was very strange." Not that she was disappointed, it had simply been a surprise but she should be gtting used to them by now.

Yelena shook her head. "I personally did not meet the aliens but my sister has. Also thank you, I forget I have an accent because it's just how I have always talked." Not entirely, she hadn't sounded this way as a child when she was in Ohio but she also thought that was her real life. Going back to Russia had literally turned her into a different person but she was not thinking about that.

"Who comes to wrangle the dragon? Do we call the police or are there zookeepers?" This was certainly not someething Yelen ahd ever dealt with.

"Oh! What sort of dog is she? I love animals. Had a family cat that's old and cantankerous. Only truly loves my dad." Tonks didn't have the heart to get a pet of her own, not with her lifestyle of fighting both as an Auror and Order member.

But she chuckled and nodded in understanding at the accent thing. "Reckon that it's us who have the accent to you. Always funny how that works. And there are dragon keepers. I hope they've been called at this point." It actually made her wonder if they had.

"Would you like a cuppa? I'd like to check if they did call the dragon keepers, and can get you a drink?" Two birds with one stone never hurt anyone.

Yelena laughed. "Fanny is just a dog. I found her at a shelter, she's a good friend." Until she had come here, Fanny had been the only family she had and Yelena honestly didn't know what she'd do without her. "She's brown and kind of fuzzy? I am not sure what breed she is. Probably more than one."

A drink sounded like a good idea to Yelena. "Yes, that sounds good. I hope they have called the dragon keepers. If not, somebody needs to. At least he's not bothering anyone up there." The dragon was probably more scared of them than they were of him, she thought, but she didn't know anything about dragons so who knew. Maybe he was plotting destruction while he watched them.
