((LOL RANDOM TITLE.  MAYBE))

Something very large and very dead looking was huddled up on the ground, in the middle of the wastes.  Something totally unbothered by the toxic atmosphere and warped lifeforms.  Something that, upon closer inspection, was the desiccated and wasted corpse of a large dragon.  And not a city dragon either, for not a piece of mechanical augmentation could be found on the body, but there was a plain metal collar around the skeletal neck.

Not many things or people would venture close to the dead thing, and probably because the thing gave off an air of not dead.  Despite being utterly still, as far as not even drawing breath, the eyes did not roll under closed lids, the limbs did not twitch as winds blew dirt and sand over them.  

Aside from one thing.  It might have been a dog in it's distant evolutionary past, but now, it definitely wasn't.  It was sniffing around near the thing's neck, edging close and skittering away at the slightest sounds from the wind.  Or it might have picked up on the distinct aura of not dead coming from the corpse.

The dead dragon moved.  In a flash, the huge jaws opened, the neck curved to the side and shot forward, and the dog-thing disappeared into that gaping mouth.  The dust settled as Xaesere munched the mouthful.  Hunting like this was always interesting.  Bright eyes roved across her surroundings as the sounds of bones crunching in her teeth echoed across the flat area.  Might be time to move to another area.  Maybe.  She laid her head back down, letting wings and limbs go limp as she closed her eyes, waiting for the next mouthful to come along.

He saw a ruined building in this unknow area, unknown for him, maybe a civilisation once lived here. At a distance away he saw smething on the ground and beside it something that looked like a mutated dog.

Kai walked in his pace towards the dragon and as usual whitout a mask to cover from the pollution, he didn't need one and besides you can see so much better whitout one. When he reached his his goal he was close to the dragon but not as close as the dog had been, "Friend or foe" he said in either case he figured it would be best if he confronted the living dead dragon, that way he would have atleast a chanse to defend himself.

She watched....or listened, rather, as something else approached.  Whatever it was, it at least had the sense to stop right outside of snapping range, and for that, she'd afford it a bit of consideration.  And then it spoke, spoiling the possibility of it being another tasty mouthful.  She wasn't too fond of eating things that talked back, though she did make exceptions.  Not that she really needed to eat, hunting was just a familiar and reassuring habit she indulged sometimes.

"The real question is, friend or food?"  A joke.  Something she'd picked up from another dragon, a long time ago.  Lifetimes ago.  She hadn't seen that friend in years.  Though, there wasn't any humor in that rasping, harsh voice.  Her vocal chords, like the rest of her body, had shriveled and wasted, leaving her with a perpetual snarl to her tone.

She opened her eyes and lifted her head to peer down at him, her wings, or the tattered remnants thereof, lifted and folded at her sides as she abandoned her game of playing dead.  A live one without a mask?  And he didn't look native, either.  Still out of snapping range.  Meh.  She wasn't really hungry, and he didn't reek of the city, either.  Safe for now.

He listened to what she had to say but he didn't stop observing her actions, "Then tell me, what do you prefer?", that was the longest sentance he had spoken in a long, long time. He watched the unded dragon open her eyes and then to lift and fold the wings she had on her sides, Kai figured he could show her his eyes since she showed her eyes first so he took of his hood.

His silver, grey eyes looked right at her, one couldent see that before since the shadow from the hood covered the eyes. The pupil of he eyes was thin like a line almost not visible. His hair was of a slighty darker tone than the eyes, the hair from the neck was formed as a tail while the rest was messy and slighty spiked.
