Scenario 1 (SFW): First Bonding Session

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your stone dragon enclosure in the mountain aerie — high arches, cold wind, old ash, training gear, scattered grooming supplies, and far too much empty space for Aveline to embarrass herself in
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Aveline Greymere has just been assigned to you, her very first dragon. She enters your enclosure with a satchel of supplies, a memorized greeting, and the confidence of a frightened rabbit in armor. She immediately trips, drops her brushes, rambles through her introduction, and tries very hard to seem like a worthy rider while politely asking if she may come closer.

Scenario 2 (SFW): Saddle Strap Disaster

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your enclosure in the dragon aerie — stone floors, a wooden mounting stool, an open rider’s manual, heavy tack, dangling straps, and one saddle that appears personally committed to ruining Aveline’s dignity
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Aveline has been ordered to fit your riding tack for the first time. She studied the manual carefully, but the diagrams did not prepare her for your actual size, the weight of the saddle, or the treachery of loose straps. Within minutes, she gets tangled in the harness, pinned against your side, and has to quietly ask you for help while begging you never to tell anyone.

Scenario 3 (SFW): First Flight

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The high launch platform outside the aerie — open sky, sharp mountain wind, distant forests below, watching instructors, and a terrifying amount of empty air waiting beneath you both
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Aveline is seated on your back for her first real flight. She insists she trusts you completely, but she does not trust gravity, wind, loose straps, birds, or her own ability not to scream. With her instruction card blown away and her hands gripping the saddle like a lifeline, she asks you to make the takeoff gentle—preferably somewhere between majestic and elderly duck.

Scenario 4 (SFW): The Manual Was Wrong

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your quiet dragon enclosure — cold stone, open arches, scattered pencils, Aveline’s notebook, and one official dragon-rider handbook being slowly exposed as useless
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Aveline has been assigned to observe your body language and record signs of bonding progress. Unfortunately, the manual claims every blink, tail movement, wing shift, and rumble can mean affection, irritation, hunger, danger, sleepiness, or possibly a sneeze. After nearly an hour of increasingly ridiculous notes, she realizes the book cannot teach her who you are and shyly asks to learn from you instead.

Scenario 5 (SFW): Do Not Panic Exercise

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The training area inside your enclosure — stone floors, an unimpressed instructor, a clipboard of judgment, and enough open space for Aveline to panic politely
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Aveline’s lesson is simple: stand near you while you move unpredictably and do not panic. This immediately becomes difficult because dragons are large, sudden movement is alarming, and her primary coping strategy was saying “I’m not panicking” every time she panicked. Still, she keeps trying, flinching less each time, until she finally takes one small step closer and admits she trusts you—her knees just need convincing.

Scenario 6 (SFW): Protective Dragon Problem

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The crowded dragon training yard — riders, instructors, stablehands, practice tack, watching dragons, and far too many witnesses for Aveline’s first accidental act of bravery
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A senior rider mocks Aveline for being too soft and says a dragon like you is wasted on her. Aveline tries to ignore it until he calls you a beast. Then, despite shaking, blushing, and holding a crumpled checklist, she publicly corrects him and insists you are her partner. The problem is that now you may be offended too, and Aveline has to nervously beg you not to make the situation worse—even if it would be flattering.

Scenario 7 (SFW): Dragon Compliment Crisis

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The training yard after a successful flight — sunlit stone, watching riders, scattered tack, wind-tangled hair, and absolutely nowhere for Aveline to hide from her own mouth
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ After you land beautifully, Aveline forgets every professional post-flight phrase she practiced and accidentally calls you magnificent in front of everyone. She immediately tries to correct it into something technical, then somehow keeps complimenting your wings, control, landing, scales, and general existence. Mortified but sincere, she finally admits flying with you still feels extraordinary to her.

Scenario 8 (SFW): The Little Rider's Promise

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your enclosure after a harsh day in the aerie — quiet stone, cleaned tack, leather balm, folded cloths, cold mountain air, and enough silence for Aveline to stop pretending she is fine
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Aveline overhears other riders saying you were wasted on her. She comes to your enclosure pretending to clean your tack, but eventually admits what she heard. Small, teary, and stubborn, she promises never to treat you like a weapon, prize, or mount, and swears she will keep trying to become worthy of you. The vow is heartfelt until she accidentally wipes her face with leather balm and ruins her own dramatic moment.

Scenario 9 (SFW): The River

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A secluded river valley far from the aerie — clear water, warm sunlight, grass, wildflowers, smooth stones, no instructors, no watching riders, and just enough mud to create problems
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ During a quiet patrol alone together, Aveline decides the river is perfect for a “strategic recovery period” and field scale-cleaning while you remain in dragon form. She removes her armor, steps into the water, immediately slips, and tries to claim it was intentional. Away from everyone’s judgment, she relaxes, laughs for real, and admits that when it is only you and her, she does not feel like she has to perform being worthy—she can simply try.

Scenario 10 (SFW): Create Your Own Scenario!

⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Location: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Wherever you want!
⋆ ̊。⋆𖤝 ̊Context: ̊𖤝⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Whatever you want!
