Talonia and the locations within it currently happened to be the only place she could without guns being fired at her without question for an extended period. Apparently? Humans were terrified of dragons, but this was such a hurtful discovery because other dragons also feared her because of her magical abilities! Itova was currently stuck to only interacting with others when she had a mission that involed others. Honestly it was best this way, she knew that every time she briefly remembered what happened to her own birth pack, she was a creature better off on her own, distanced to where she couldn't hurt anyone. Even if she was form a social species? She could survive on her own like this because it was what she had to do if she cared about anyone besides herself. Exposing others to her destruction would be only selfish.

Within the guildless town? No one was quiet sure if she was a real dragon or some mimicry like a wyvern or such and not a single soul there was brave enough to ask her; Due to this she was referred to as a creature. Crimson optics looked intensely down at the ground from where she flew over it, trying to spot the lush garden she was suppose to do this task within. Haia was turned towards the elderly woman who had opened her door, so thus unable to see anything but the shadow that suddenly appeared due to the dragoness several meter wing span. "D..D..Dragon!!!!" It was not just the clinent but several other people stuttering and backing up as she landed, wing flapping ending. The towns people looked terrified, which they had reason for this dragon was at least six feet tall and clearly designed to be a hunter, carnivorous, built for murder. "I'm the other Mage you hired, Spice." She chose to use an alias once more because she didn't need anyone to have a way to trace her down. After this mission she would go back to being out of human gaze for a while.

Itova had certainly not been expecting to meet any sort of dragon fanatic or such thing, in the time she had been on the mainland she had yet to encounter someone with such a reaction to her presence. So prepared to explain herself and fight to prove she was not here to burn the entire city down? The beloved curse was unprepared to contest with a small hand right against her jaw, a human placing one of its most important features against the part of her that could take it away in the blink of an eye! Nothing had been done magic wise but she was stunned and frozen in place unable to move as Haia raced about examining everything about her. What was wrong with this mortal, why did this young female human seem like a child of the species in her behavior. To say the dragoness was confused? Would be an understatement.

The dragoness let Haia takeover and control everything because she was still trying to process just what this girl was. Unlike the original user of the spice alias? This human didn't seem to be trying to get her into a nest, but she wasn't afraid like the rest of the humans, thus it left the large creature confusion. When their elderly client directed them towards the back? She spread her wings and flapped once leaping over the building gliding for a short time of it. Itova saw no reason to explain her actions since her wing span was so large it was clear why as may not enjoy being indoors, she couldn't take flight at all in those conditions. "So I'll need to shrink you two." It was the client as she came through the back door and 'Spice' tilted her head slightly waiting for this to happen.

Once it had taken place? When the garden became a jungle, she glanced at her job partner. "You certainly have a different initial reaction then everyone else." She started flapping her wings, elevating off the ground. "We're in luck, she shrunk us enough I have full mobility here." Which meant she could hunt and fight properly in a way she sometimes could not. "And yes I'm an actual dragon." Though most other dragons avoided her like the plague because of the fact she wielded dragon slayer magic, she was a curse on their kind, but she was still a drake.

Being shrunk did not daze or even slightly bother Spice instead what bothered the alias titled dragoness was Haia herself, the behavior of her job partner that was strange compared to most others she had met. Even those who didn't fire bullets at her in an attempt to end her? Often stayed as silent and distanced from her as possible, considering any numskull could easily detect the fact she was an incredibly dangerous creature! To have someone have gone out of their way to touch her in such a childish exicted manner was unexpected enough that it still managed to shake her up to this considerable degree. Though as seconds passed her mind did start to wonder what would happen if this girl did that to an older dragon instead, how dangerous that could be. Quickly she came to the conclusion she needed to word some gentle sort of warning towards Haia so the girl wouldn't get her arm taken off my another dragon for touching it without consent.

She didn't get to speak that warning before they got shrunk down to barely the size of ants, which meant Haia was now even more delicate as humans naturally were a fragile species. Would this girl go petting snakes and lizards like that even though she was now meal size? "You shouldn't go touching dragons without asking us, I froze but others may not, the more natural response is to bite, if I hadn't froze up you could have gotten your arm taken off, most of my kind don't have good experiences with humans." In fact if she was stating just her species of dragon? They had almost no experience with the species called humans as they tended to live in places faraway from them as they could! Her parents would have easily eaten some human even though her kind preferred fish when it was a plentiful food source. In spite of being huge, fish went down easier and were safer to hunt as well.

"The ring should be easy enough once we get to it, however I think the garden itself will end up challenging as its bound to be filled with life." They would likely have to fight something soon even if they were flying because chances were something else in this garden could as well and wouldn't take to kindly to the intruders in its territory!

Itova quickly discovered one concern with the job she was about to embark on through the thick lush garden with this other female of a different species. The girl she had been partnered with? Was so star struck that it may make the actual tasks difficult, she certainly didn't trust this chick to have her back if there should be a fight! Spice at the moment was under the impression she may be doing most of this job all alone. While the other girl may try to help, it was the female's opinion that it was unlikely someone so distracted and enchanted would be able to do very much correctly. Hopefully this mage would at the very least be able to provide a basic level of support. There was no going back now, they had already been flying for several minutes around the garden.

"I have been attacked by packs, other dragons don't take too kindly to a dragon who wields dragon slaying magic." why was she letting this lowly human keep touching her like this? Most times the female would have attacked by now, but it just didn't seem like the right thing to do right now. Maybe it was because she needed the funds so badly right now. "So your interested in Dragons but you haven't gotten to meet any besides me." it was actually kinda funny, considering she had met a few since coming to this land, one of which was the one she took the name Spice from. Where was that dragon now anyway's? Itova needed another round with them, since there were no eggs yet.

________________________________

Instead of being the nature of the situation causing Itova to give straight forward and direct answers to Haia, it was instead the basic nature of the dragoness herself. Unlike creatures like humans? Simpler organisms only really sought to hide things like sources of food and protect their own, considering the current circumstances had no affect on food in the long term, and no affect on any pack-mates since she had none; Itova had no reason to lie about very much, she only used Alias's because she had this natural mistrust of humanoids who prized a magic she would give anything to get rid of. Seriously, she could not understand any reason that the species placed any value on magic that could easily murder draconian creatures.

Shortly after the human mage had defeated the first problem they faced? Another one emerged springing up in an attempt to grab Itova from the air. The cricket was soon disappointed and easily gave up on its attack when she turned mid air to meet it, her lower legs out stretched in order to grab the beast and throw it back to the ground, two bleeding marks on either side of its body showing where scars would from one day since she made no effort to keep pursing the cricket to its demise. Most thought of Dragons as monstrous hunters, but in the end each species had diets and hers was pretty much entirely fish since she was born on an island. However, she had meet dragons who would consume humans if given the chance.

The dragoness brought her flight height down slightly, almost right above Haia's head as they forged on deeper into the garden. Swiftly a buzzing sound could be heard, and she glanced around her raptor like vision easily catching sight of the wasp and realizing it would be a major problem at this size. "Don't go far, I'm going to take care of this." the creature attempted to dive bomb them but Itova had already flown higher and gotten behind the Wasp, roaring out easily stealing its attention from Haia as it chased her somewhere above the plants were sadly the human would be unable to see most of the areal battle between the shrunken dragoness and her wasp opponent. Little did the dragoness know she had left Haia in the sneaky clutches of a spider by flying off, she had not spotted the jumping spider, too focused on the wasps buzz to notice the more silent predator that had been behind them. So the human would get to have her own fun. For the moment, she focused on out flying the wasp, she needed to get a head on it, able to grab it's stinger so she could go for the neck without getting stung, use her other claw to get the stomach, however she had not seen the opening yet.
