My Sister Is the Protagonist

Chapter 19: To Make Whole

As expected with the new addition, the journey back was bit tricky. The little dragonling had efficiently wrapped Note around its little claws. Note who hated having his hair loose, gave into leaving it down. The little one hiding around his neck when necessary. It loved being held in his arms. When they were on the road it would contently sit in his lap, dozing off.

Ravan like a jealous cat began to cling more and more to Note in rebuttal. He didn't care that his opponent was a little dragonling. He was simultaneously trying to win it over while competing for Note's attention.

Xian was trying his best to ignore the pleading looks Note gave; whenever the smallest members got especially rowdy. Note found ways to drag the false pacifist into the chaos. Getting close to Xian tended to make little Scratch behave. Ravan would also then, sensing the competition shift. Would focus on bothering Xian.

After a few days travelling like this, Scratch finally got used to them. Truly the little week-old hatchling had proven itself more mature than Ravan. Note was able to tie his hair up again, leaving Scratch to hide in Ravan's thick locks instead when needed. Making peace with its playmate.

Once they arrived back at the Division, with their little tag-along. They made straight for the peak. When an unexpected interruption appeared before them. A naked blur came running past. Seemingly escaping from the direction of Reign's office. Before they could process what, they'd seen. A shriek came from the direction the blur had run, along with the caw of an upset rooster. The person rushed past them again, now with feathery pursuers.

Four sets of eyes watched a nearly naked person -with barley a cloth around their waist, in the middle of winter- running in circles in the courtyard. They'd upset chicken's somehow and were running for their life.

Out from the office came Reign and Liaud. Reign was rubbing his temples as he tried to command a few hands to stop the chaos. Liaud was sporting a small smirk, not trying to help in the slightest. Enjoying the show thoroughly.

Xian let their group around the chaos and up to his master.

"Sir? What's going on now."

Liaud turned his attention to them, his eye's shining at the little addition. Reign looked their way as well.

"Ah, welcome back. Thing's went well then?" Liaud waved a finger at Scratch.

Reign smiled shaking his head, "I see you successfully ignored the 'keeping your distance' order yet again."

Note felt a guilty smile itching to break across his face. Giving Scratch a little pat. As they sniffed at Liaud's hand.

A few of the chicken's had been caught. The rooster was still in hot pursuit of the screaming nudist. Xian being unable to tolerate the chaos any longer let out a few sounds in the chicken mother tongue. The frantic birds all calmed down. The strange one seeing they were safe, laid down in relief. Seemingly not bothered by the snowy muck on the ground.

Xian frowned in surprise, "Sir isn't this?"

Liaud nodded giving a pitying look, "Yes this is that noble the Elm Division was sending over. I'm afraid their proving quite a handful."

Ravan's brow raised, "Their noble? Are you sure about that."

Note cut back instinctively, "What rich people can't be crazy. Look at you."

Liaud chuckled, "I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. They're under a curse. Its why Elm had to send them here. They were having difficulty finding the curses origin. So, they had to turn to me. It's my expertise after all."
