Logan just laid there, looking at the stars as he waited for the others to fall asleep. Despite the soft moss covering the entirety of the clearing, the ground beneath him still felt cold and uncomfortable, with small rocks and sticks poking him in his back.

His eyes shifted as he looked towards the Dragon Witch. He had so many questions: why was he living in the woods? How long had he been living there? Were there others like him? What kind of powers did he have? What kind of dragon was the one he had? Could it understand him? Was he born like this or di he somehow became it? Could they actually trust him?

He knew he had been very rude for the whole day, but he had to make sure he was not going to hurt them in any way. Even if he did save Roman, he was still a complete stranger, who could very possibly have an ulterior motive to help him. What if he knew the guy he helped was a prince and planned on finding out where his kingdom was just to take over it?

He was just doing his job as the prince prime advisor and he would not apologize for doing it right. Logan sight gently as not to wake up anyone. Despite the way he acted he was still slightly jealous of the way Patton got to interact with the mythical animal they had the luck to encounter. Meeting a creature like a dragon was not something that happened everyday and the nerdy guy knew very well he would most likely never meet one again when everything came to an end; and he would be damned if he didn't even try to touch it or at least observe it better.

His eyes went back to the stars, admiring how beautifully bright they were here in the middle of nowhere, where the light of the city were not there to bother them. He decided to wait a bit more before getting up, starting to count all of the constellations he could find to pass the time. He smiled as he realized he could even see the Milky Way from where he was and relaxed back into the moss, letting the already regular breathing of his two friends and the stridulating of the crickets in the forest lull him for a bit.

Before he knew it, an hour past and, sure that everyone was sleeping, he slowly got up, trying not to make a sound, and starts walking towards where the dragon is placidly sleeping with its owner on top. His steps were light and stealthy as he got closer and closer, no one who had a normal hearing would have been able to hear him; unfortunately for him though, the two he was walking towards were anything but normal.

Logan slowly reached his hand out, his mind racing with thoughts and theories of how it would feel to touch the creature's long neck; would it be soft or hard? Warm or cold? Smooth or rough? Would it feel different form a snake?

"I wouldn't touch her if I were you. Neither of us are a sleep and she is still not very fond of you for the way you treated me earlier today."

Virgil's voice made Logan immediately jump back in surprise, his hand immediately retreating to his chest as he tried to calm his frantic heartbeat. Wide eyes he looked up towards the dragon witch, who was clearly wide awake, before traveling back down towards the dragon. Once again the nerd jumped as he saw the snake like eyes studying him mischievously as black smoke came out of its nostrils.

"Sorry for scaring you nerd, but my friend he isn't very fond of you at the moment and was planning on making you shit your pants. Thought I would stop her." The guy said making her grumble again as he elegantly jumped down from the dragon's back and soundlessly landed on the grass.

"T-thank you, I guess." Logan replied shakily. There was a moment of silent, where Virgil did nothing but study the uncharacteristically shy behavior the nerdy guy was showing.

"So, what were you trying to do?" He asked slightly tilting his head to the right.

Logan blushed, staring wide eyed at the guy before stuttering out a quick "N-nothing."

The dragon witch raised an eyebrow, an amused and curios expression taking over his features.

"For being someone so smart, you wouldn't think he'd be such a shitty liar." Nyx commented with a smirk, making it hard for her owner to suppress a chuckle.

"Logan, Nyx sensed that you were going to touch her, there's no point in lying. Why were you though? You didn't seem very fond of us before."

Slowly he sat down with his back against the dragon side, trying to show the now nervous guy in front of him that he wasn't a threat, and after a few seconds, the guy finally sighed in defeat.

"I-I was just curios about how it would feel to interact with such a beautiful creature. I have never thought I would get to meet a dragon and it will be highly improbable I will ever get to meet another one. I just thought I could get to answer at least some of my questions while you guys were sleeping. I apologize." He explained, his hand scratching the back of his neck as he looked down in embarrassment, "As for today, I'm sorry if I came off as rude, I was just doing my job and keep my prince and friend safe and I'm not sorry for the way I acted, but I should have made myself clearer." He concluded, straightening his back and adjusting his glasses, waiting for the dragon witch's answer.

Virgil studied him for a few seconds, trying to decide if he was being genuine with his apologize and finding no trace of lies.

"Bitch, don't you dare-"

"If you are still up to, you can ask me whatever you want and I can try my best answer. I unfortunately can not say the same about touching Nyx, as she would still probably try to bite your hand off if you tried to touch her-"

"Damn right I would." She interrupted, shooting a glare towards the nerdy guy.

"But I am at your disposal." He concluded, smiling slightly when he saw Logan's eyes lit up with excitement.

He immediately sat down in front of the dragon witch, trying to organize his thoughts and figure out where to start.

"Are there others like you?" He asked, deciding to start from the basics, his lips turning into an imperceptible frown when he saw the other shaking his head.

"No, not as far as I know. They were all killed in a war that wiped out the entirety of my species, I only survived thanks to Nyx who kept me hidden and helped me escape." He explained, a small smile grazing his features as he patted the dragon on the back. Logan observed curiously as she purred and turned her neck so that her head was laying in Virgil's lap, her eyes closed.

"Is that why you have been living in this forest for so long?" He asked, already expecting the nod that came form the guy lazily petting the dragon.

"Are you able to comunicate with her?" He dared to send a quick nervous look towards the creature, before returning his eyes to Virgil, who hummed lowly in affirmation.

"We talk through what I would probably define a mind link. She has been my best and only friend in the 24 years I spent living in this woods, reason why she doesn't really like you for the way you acted." He replied, smirking as he watched the guy look away in guilt for a second.

"Understandable. What kind of dragon is she? Are there other kinds?" He asked as he let his eyes study the dragon's shiny purple scales littering her whole body.

Virgil shrugged, looking down at Nyx as a silent conversation went on between them.

"I have no idea. I mean, there probably were more than one kinds in the past neither me nor Nyx have enough memories to give you a satisfying answer."

Logan hummed in understanding, his eyes dazed over as he was lost in thought. A few seconds passed by before another question left his lips.

"Is spells and communicating with Nyx the only thing you can do or do you have other powers?" Logan asked tilting his head in curiosity. The dragon witch lowered his eyes, not used to someone being so interested in him and his abilities.

"I can also share Nyx's ability. Just like our minds, our souls are linked too, making her able to let me see through her eyes and, if needed, share part of her energy to be stronger." Virgil explained as he scratched her behind the ears, making her purr in delight.

"Since you can share her vision, can she share your voice?" Logan asked, watching as the dragon witch looked at him surprised. "I mean, with you being able to share so much already it only makes sense."

Without saying anything the dragon witch closed his eyes, trying to concentrate for a couple of seconds, his hands stopping the stroking motion on the dragon. When he opened them back up after a couple of tense moments, Logan was startle by seeing that they were no longer that warm brown color typical of Virgil's eyes, but were now completely yellow and snake like, resembling exactly Nyx's.

"Sup bitch." The nerd jumped once again as hearing the guy's voice doubled with a more feminine one, one overlapping the other and creating a weird effect.

"So, let's make things clear if you call me an animal one more time I'll break your knee caps and-" Before she could finish Virgil started to shake his head, interrupting the mind-link as his eyes went back to normal.

"I'm sorry, she is still really salty about that." The dragon witch said apologetically scratching the back of his back and adverting his eyes.

"O-oh, uhm, it's not a p-problem."

Nyx smirked hearing Logan's shaky voice and seeing the guy's already white skin get even paler with fear. She chuckled slightly, stopping only when Virgil flicked her head, hard.

"Ouch, what was that for?!"

"Would you please stop being a bitch? He was just starting to trust us, now what is he going to think?!"

"I couldn't care less about what he thinks no one calls me an animal."

Logan's light chuckle made them stop their bickering almost immediately.

"Really it's no big deal. She is right though, I shouldn't have called her an animal, I'm sorry." He said looking at the dragon, who just nodded her head slightly before turning her head the other way still feigning anger.

"Ignore her. She's just being a drama quee- ow, what the fuck don't you dare hit me with your tail you know it's true!"

The dragon just scoffed, making Logan once again chuckle and shrugs slightly, before looking up at the stars and sighing.

"The sky is beautiful tonight. I've studied astrology for years and never once was I able to see them so clearly." He said softly, not noticing Virgil looking at him with wide eyes.

"You studied the stars?" He asked, his voice betraying his admiration.

The nerd looked at him surprised for a second before nodding.

"Can you tell me about them?"

And that's how they spent the rest of the night, just softly talking, until finally they fell asleep just as the first ray of sunlight started to appear in the horizon; and although she will always deny it, Nyx did shift the position of her body and wings just enough that both her owner and the nerd could be protected by the blinding light of the sun and get a bit more sleep.
