"Well, we can make that happen," Oliver assured her, gently putting a hand on Jenna's snout. "We might need help, but we can make it so dragons can be free. You'll be able to fly wherever you want and do whatever you want."
"The mold doesn't smell right to me," Oliver agreed. He looked around at all the office buildings. "Maybe we can use a couch in a break room or something? Or... I think I can see a neighbourhood a little bit ahead."
"But now you're free to have what you want," Oliver pointed out. "You broke out of their...well, brainwashing." He shrugged, unable to think of a better word. "Speaking of which, what do you want, anyway?"
Oliver nodded and looked around, in hopes of finding somewhere to take shelter. "Maybe there's an apartment around here or a store or something? Though, anywhere with a door we can lock will work, I think."
"Well yeah, pathogens and parasites are dangerous to humans," Oliver pointed out, smiling back. He noticed how sad she looked and tried to help her feel better. "I don't know much about dragons either, apart from what I've learned from you anyway."
Oliver looked at Jenna and nodded, starting to smile again. "Yeah, you're right. I guess it's not totally impossible yet."
He smiled at her. "Thanks. You're right - we'll find a way out together."
"Well, raw meat is dangerous to humans," Oliver said, shrugging. "Eating cooked meat will help you blend in when you're in human form. Cooking is also just a handy skill to know, especially if you have to take care of humans somehow."
"You see what I mean then," Oliver sighed. "We have no idea what's going on. We can only hope that portal takes us home, and that no one messes with the source until we do. I'd hate to be stuck here..."
"Right," Oliver said, nodding as he ate slower. As for her query, he wondered about it himself. "Well, you can breath fire, right? Maybe whatever lets you do that cooks the meat inside you or something?"
"I just hope we can go back," Oliver said, looking at where they were walking. "I hope that thing really does take us home instead of somewhere even more dangerous. We don't really know where it goes or what's on the other side."
"We'd be a lot safer sitting at home, though," Oliver pointed out. "I just don't like how we're here while having no idea what we're doing."
He sighed and looked at Jenna. "I just don't want to die here."
"Oh, thanks," Oliver said. He had to admit the meat looked quite good now that it was cooked. He waited for the stone to cool down before he took a bite from it.
"Mm, this is pretty good," he said. "Thanks."
"Yeah, probably," Oliver said, looking at himself again. He didn't want to admit he was checking to see if he had started growing scales or something. "Still, it'd be kinda cool to do what you can do."
"But we don't know how to stop what happened to this world happening to our world," Oliver pointed out. "We don't even know what happened here."
He frowned. "It's not that I don't wanna do this, it's just that we have no idea what we're doing."
"It just feels like they were trying to get rid of us," Oliver sighed. "Whoever they are."
He looked around again. "I hope this light really is the way out. I don't wanna be stranded here and end up like whoever used to be here."
"Well, good to know I'm the first of my kind," Oliver joked, looking himself over to see if he had indeed grown any scales. "It'd be kinda cool, to be part-dragon. I wanted to be one when I was a kid, actually."
"So there's a chance I could be part-dragon?" Oliver summised, looking at himself. "That sounds pretty cool. I guess I wouldn't mind looking like a dragon, but having the abilities of one would be cool too."
"Well, why else would they send us here totally unprepared?" Oliver pointed out. "No supplies, no knowledge, nothing. We just went through right away, not knowing what was on the other side or even if there was a way back."
"Yeah, I'm not sure either," Oliver said, looking at where the gunshot wound once was. "I don't feel sick or anything, but I'm not sure if your blood has effected me apart from healing faster. Wonder what else I can do?"
"And then, how would we find that weird signal tower?" Oliver asked. "There's so much we don't know about this place, and someone just told us to jump in. It's like they wanted us to get killed here or something..."
