"We wont let you starve, so you can take as much time as you like to learn to cook." Bliss said kindly with a smile.

"Thanks." Yuki said and finished her breakfast. She was equal parts eager and nervous about flying and figured she's just have to jump into it. She wasn't going to get anywhere without taking that leap, right? Wait! They weren't going to push her off a cliff were they? Don't eagles do that to teach their chicks to learn. And they live in a mountain valley. They could totally do it... All this was in her head however as she was just staring off into space from the outside.

"Finished?" Bliss asked Yukie as he started clearing the table. "It should be a quiet walk to the fields about now, you ready to go?"

"Yes, no better time then now I suppose. Don't want to waste the day." Yuki said and took her plate to the sink, "Is this your personal soap?" She asked, curious if it would be staying here or if they'd have to get more later.

"It's extras I had for when I finish mine." Bliss told Yuki. "I don't like spending too much time going shopping so I always buy extras. You can keep those." Bliss finished up and went to wait for Yuki at the door.

"OK, thanks." she said, rinsing off the bowl and sitting it in the sink. She could do it when they got back, "Ready to go when you are."

The two were soon on their way to the field and just like Bliss said there wasn't many dragons around. The usual flying above and a few on the street, but not many.

"It's a beautiful time of day." Yuki said as they made their way. It felt awkward to be silent, so she was saying it to start conversation.

"It is, isn't it." Bliss answered her. "Not too early, not too late, just right. It looks like it'll be pleasant weather as well."

"So... how do dragons normally learn to fly? Is it an instinct or just something that happens, like walking?" Yuki asked, hoping somewhere inside that he wasn't going to say pushed off a cliff.

"It's something we all have to learn." Bliss told her as they neared the sheeb fields. "Some learn quicker than others and Reds do seem to learn easier than most of us, so maybe it'll be easy for you as well." Sheeb started gathering at the edge of the field in anticipation for Bliss' arrival.

"Looks like you've got fans." Yuki said with a smile, "Next thing you know you'll overrun the ridge with an army of sheeb."

Bliss laughed. "Best kind of army to have. Friendly, fluffy and never gives me any trouble." He rubbed the head of the first sheeb they came to and soon all the sheeb surrounded them.

"How long have you been doing this job?" Yuki asked, not sure weather to skip away or just fall on the fluff. They all looked so adorable and squishy.

"Ever since I was a whelp." Bliss told her. "We usually decide on a job to do when we celebrate our twentieth birthday and I decided to keep doing this even though it's not the most glamorous thing, according to Venti." He laughed. When the sheeb were satisfied with their greeting they started going back to the fields in search for grass. "We better get you cleaned up." He said. Both Yuki and Bliss were covered in purple stains where the sheebs' berries stained their scales as they pressed against them.

"And now my shower earlier feels hopeless." She said looking herself over. A second later, the thought popped into her head, "Wait, a whelp at 20?!? How old are you?!?" she explained out of the blue.

"I think you misunderstand me." Bliss said with a smile. "When I started I was still a whelp, just after my fourth birthday. Then when I had my twentieth I had to choose a job and I choose to keep doing this. That was two years ago, so I'm twenty now. So two hundred and two years old."

Yuki nodded as the numbers flew at her, not really getting more then that he's twenty and was still twenty two years ago?!? Wait, did he say two hundred and two years old? She was only 18... At this point she was thinking so hard that she'd stopped living in the moment entirely and was staring off into space with a blank expression.

ooc: I thought she was older, around 18. I wanted to keep their ages relatively close together. As the dragons at two hundred would be physically the same age as a human 20, although experience would differ. Making Yuki's dragon body the same age as a 160 year old dragon if she's 16.
"Are you alright?" Bliss asked. "It's not so bad, the berries only stain if you work with them a lot. These will wash off easily with a clean towel."

OOC: I'll edit. I honestly forgot and threw a number out there, 18 makes more sense.
BIC: "Huh?" Yuki blinked back into reality and looked over to Bliss, "You're old." was the only words she could muster as she continued to try and do the math in her head, "So this body would be about what, if I was 18 in human years."

Bliss slapped a claw to his forehead. "I'm sorry. I completely forgot humans aged very differently then we do. I'm not really good at judging ages, but you look about Venti's age, maybe a little younger. Between hundred and eighty and hundred and ninety. That would mean you had eighteen birthdays."

"Oh, I suppose when you measure your life in centuries, using decades comes naturally." She said, coming to terms with feeling ancient all the sudden.

"I'm not really sure." Bliss told her. "I mean, it's normal. But I think it's more tradition. The dwarfs and elves had different ways of celebrating their age as well, but you'll have to ask Venti since she knows more about it."

"Oh..." Yuki said in thought, "I guess I just can't wrap my head around living for that long and not getting bored with life. I'm only 18 years old and sometimes I feel like little things are the end of the world. I can't imagine is I had hundreds of years to work with and look forward to." she sat down, for a moment forgetting her stained scales, "So what would my job be? I've never worked here."

"You're job would be whatever it is you want to be." Bliss told Yuki. "Although you wont need to choose a job for about twenty years, so there's plenty of time to decide. That is if you don't want to try and go back to your world before then."

"I thought you said you were placed in a position when you were a whelp, whatever age range that is." Yuki said, still unsure but eager to learn, "It's not that I don't want to try and get home, but what do I say if someone asks me what I do?"

"Not every dragon does work before they choose a job." Bliss explained. "Think of it like this: Before I chose this as my job it was more like a game, looking after and playing with the sheeb, or a chore. Not really work. You're basically free to do whatever you want before you get a job. Except for prince and princesses like Venti who have a lot more chores than the rest of us. And if anyone asks just tell them the truth. You're helping me here at the fields or you're not really doing anything. No one is going to mind what you tell them."

"OK." Yuki said, the thought clicking in her head and the proverbial hamster began to run out of steam, "So about this berry juice." she questioned.

"Here." Bliss walked up to a well and put a clean towel into a bucket already filled with water. "You can use this to clean yourself off." He said, holding the towel out to her.

Yuki grabbed the towel and began wiping herself down. She was short enough that the sheeb had gotten stains half way up her belly and she worked to get them to shine like they had that morning.
