Dragoncrest Cliffs Sunstone

Portia held the belief that regret was stupid. she felt that if you had wanted to do whatever it was you did, you shouldn't regret it. if something you desired-- or even so much as casually wanted-- was important enough to you at one moment to actually do it, then it isn't worth regretting. Portia was also keen on acting on every want she encountered. she was a slave to lust and greed and moved wherever her heart told her to, so it was rare she had an opportunity to regret not doing something.

until today, maybe.

the dragon had woken and was furious, for some reason, though she'd never heard a story about a volcano that was kind to anyone. it had taken from them their home and had taken it's toll upon each one of Drageda's members. it was mostly fear that was sparked in the skayona after the incident, and even further than that it was terror. she'd never been so afraid of anything in her life. but the moment that she saw @Dio the whole situation changed. she wanted to do nothing more than smother him in kisses and have him wrap himself around her. he was safety and warmth and though she was still afraid, her terrified sobs turned into tears of joy and relief. to see him, for one, but that he had come for her, to find her, in all that mess-- that was something she'd never experienced before.

and still, after all that, she had to hype herself up to do that. commitment just wasn't something she was usually down with, free-spirit and all that. but she'd settled with Drageda, and that had been one of the best decisions of her life... perhaps she could settle with a man, as well. the thought scared her, but somehow she knew that if she didn't, regret would come to bite her in the ass.

so, patient as ever, the skayona waited for the ivory male. she figured he'd come and check on her sooner or later, anyway.
