"Did I give the impression I am one that wish to control?" He playfully joked. The answer was obvious, really. Since their meeting, Mia did not once lose her free will.

"As per bonding with your brother...that's just what it is. How else would you call something that is a mix between to things? Do not get me wrong, I am grateful for the help you are giving me. To answer your question, yes. I could just as easily merge to an animal, but you see...well it's not really all that exciting."

The slime latched onto Mia's hand. She could feel it begin pulsing with power as it was morphed into a dragonic claws and then covered by the pinkish substance.

"But look at what I can do! If I merge with a someone like you, I could help them do some good. That's why I merged with you to begin with. I wanted to save you. I want to do some good. This is why I want to find someone who'd be okay with sharing my same idea. I am not here to force this on anyone. If I'll ever merge with anyone else, it will be a willing bond. So if I'll end up merging with your brother, it will be because hbe wishes it to be so."

With that said,the aigan simply retreated back into his hiding spot. Aeron allowed the dragon girl some time to collect her thoughts before speaking again. "With or without me merged, he will still be the brother you love. 100%. I do not want to disrupt your family."

"R-right. Sorry. Sorry." Aeron quickly retracted back as small as he could. He kept mostly quiet for the rest of the trip, not really wishing to anger the dragonic girl any longer. Especially after her little stunt she pulled off. Now she would have to deal with some of Aeron's blood staining her hand after she jammed it in her palm.

While he wasn't at all thrilled about the idea of hanging around someone with that kind of temper, he did need a host. He just hoped this Mark guy would be more willing and less violent. Hopefully he could somewhat protect him from Mia's fiery behaviour. Perhaps saving the girl from drowning hadn't been the smartest of ideas. Well, he did want to help. He just happened to get stuck with someone who clearly despised him for a reason or the other.

Aeron kept quiet, though growing slighly panicked once the angelic dragon (supposedly the girl's mother) hugged her. He kept as still as he possibly could, as flat as he could and held his breathing until Mia was well past her father.

"...I think she knows." He told her once they were in the clear. "If she can sense magic, she probably knows I'm in your head."

With that, the Aigan simply returned to passive osservation, curiously looking at Mark from his hiding spot. The guy was blonde then...and seemed really annoyed at the prospect of seeing his sister. He just hoped nothing else bad would happen.

Aeron weighted his options. Then, he decided on what to act out. "I'll need you to touch him." He concluded. "I can't speak unless he's in contact with me and I'll doubt you'll let me merge with you again. Grab his hand, I'll take it from there."

With that, he would wait until she did so to slither away from Mia and crawl over to the boy. For starters, he simply latched imself to his arm, instantly forcing it into a dragonic claw just as what had happened to Mia.

"H-hey there." He greeted, nervous and somewhat scared. "I'm...I'm Aeron. Aeron Thesys."

It was a good long five minutes of Mark just staring at his new dragonic claw, watching as a harder shell of his deep purple scales covered the back of his hand and extended all the way to his elbow. It was clearly meant to protect from blunt trauma. By his actions, Mia could tell that a far ore willing host was indeed able to speak with the little pink Aigan within their mind.

"So. He saved your ass uh?" The boy told his elder sibling with a grin on his face. "Not so tough now, eh, sister?" he added as the creature further spread all the way to his shoulder. Mark's body was already reacting positively to the bond. the boy's muscles had clearly buffed up. His whole arm was just more tonic as a dragonic claw.

He quieted down again, likely listening to what the little pink slime latched to his arm was explaining. "Uh. That's kinda cool. I wouldn't mind a powerup." He mumbled, examining his morphed hand an flexing his fingers. "Alright. I'll share my body with you." He stated after a while, nodding. "I'm all yours, Aeron!"

The purplish pink tendrils quickly wrapped around the boy's body, tightly weaving into some sort of fiber as Aeron began merging himself with his new host. Mark's entire body grew just a tad bit taller as his form shifted into a way more dragonic look. Strands of pink ran down the boy's tail, covering it in pink while also keeping the boy's spikes out. In a matter of seconds, tendrils latched onto Mark's face, covering his golden lockes, two horns slowly growing out of his head as his entire body was forced into a more feral state by Aeron's power.

Mark's neck bulged repeatedly, Mia could tell he was swallowing a hefty amount of the symbiotic creature. A shudder signaled that Aeron had reached and succesfully merged with Mark's lungs. One full minutes and both Aigan and Dragon boy ceased to exist. In their place stood a rather powerful Aigan-Dragon hybrid. With claws for feet and hands, a long tail, snout and horns...Mark's complete dragonic form was out for everyone to witness. With darker grey, tougher scales to protect the softer spots and a sea of bright purplish-magenta scales (a direct result of Aeron), the dragon turned his attention back to his sibling.

Mark's tail swished in low arcs above ground, his snout curling up in a cocky grin that showed a row of sharp draconic fangs, he raised his hand claws to examine himself.

"Wow, okay this is so cool!" He exclaimed, turning around and stretching, not even noticing his and Aeron's voices had merged as well. "I could get used to this..." He added, glaring at his sister with his slitted green eyes. The expression on his face spelled something clear as day.

"Eheh...I definitely beat you now."

"Ohohohooooo, scary." Mark replied, mockingly waving his arms around in a "save me" gesture. He took a step forward, challenging Mia's glare with one of his own. Considering how scaredy Aeron was, Mia could tell that behaviour was all her brother. "I'll kick your ass right here and now. Besides..." He turned to the side and smirked at her, poking the side of his head with his clawed hand, right where his temple bone would be. "From what he told me, you sound like you're really scared about what we can do. There's no way I'm letting og of this awesome power. If Aeron here really can unlock 100% of my onw potential..."

There was a twinge of sadness in his expression, but just for a moment.

"Then this is the time I finally get something done. And what better thing to do than to finally get some sweet sweet revenge." He concluded, quickly throwing away his pajama. As he was, he didn't need clothes.

Mark just decided to show off by jumping off his window and superhero landing right in front of her. At her own gesture followed his stretching around, still using his own body language to taunt her and generally waving the fact that he was a full dragon right in her face.

The purple lizard only stopped moving when she asked something directly to the Aigan. Mark raised his claw up, a small pink sphere forming. "Here, catch." He tossed the small ball at her, hoping she'd catch it. If she did, the small pink spere would latch at her wrist like a rubber wristband. She could feel it squirm tightly around her arm.

"CAN YOU TWO PLEASE STOP IT?!" Aeron's voice sounded rather desperate, as he shouted in both of their minds.
