Arrival
The court does not immediately sway him against the Seelie in a way that would lead him to the battlefield. The fairies he has known for as long as he has known the ones in Avalar, the Dragon Worlds and the Forgotten Worlds, have always been friends and have only ever opposed the cat wizards. Truthfully Spyro is the type to overthrow both courts, but he keeps a hold on his rebellious nature and eats. Around his head buzzes a gold dragonfly, specks of what appears to be dust flying from its wings.

Usually friendly, though never sweet, Spyro is responsive to all who approach him. The characters to either side of him are treated with conversations first, however. "You got roped into this fairy fight too, huh? Is it too late to quit the team?"

The Station
"What is it?" Spyro asks his dragonfly companion, who hovers above his head holding a cell phone. Sparx buzzes back that he doesn't know, but descends so that he's eye-level with his dragon companion. "Well, what does it do?" Again the dragonfly says he isn't sure, and that's when Spyro opens his big mouth.

"Here, give it to me." Tipping his head back, Spyro opens his little jaws then closes them again once the cell phone has been deposited. "I thin' you jus..." He shifts it around in his mouth and gives the phone a bite, which causes it to vibrate. In shock, the dragon turns his head and spits it out hard enough to launch it into a wall, where it breaks into plastic chunks.

Eyes wide, Spyro looks around at the few other patrons who can't seem to look away. He frowns, slightly embarrassed. That was probably expensive. "Uh... Sorry about that?"

[ Hiccup and Toothless round the corner just in time to see the little purple dragon spitting out the phone, both their expressions lighting up as they glance at each other, then walk over with similarly cheerful, welcoming smiles. It's an oddity of the Drabwurld that dragons here can speak Drabbish as well as anyone else, and Hiccup is sure that if Toothless's mouth were built for it, he would too. ]

Hi, there. Having some problems?

[ At Hiccup's side, Toothless gives a yawp of inquiry to the same effect, tilting his head at the little ... Scuttleclaw? Hm. ]

[dragonshores]

[Spyro immediately forgets he ever felt any shame at the sight of another dragon and his... human? He turns his body around to face them completely, an excited smile on his face.]

Hey! Sparx and I keep seeing these things around so we thought we'd take a look.

[He shifts his eyes to his dragonfly partner, who appears to be sentient as he returns the gaze.] Grab another one of those, will you, pal? Thanks. [With a small buzz, Sparx picks up another phone off of the table, its cable attaching it firmly to its display. Spyro's forceful spitting snapped the other phone's cable right out of its socket.]

What is this, and why does it shake?

[smithwork]

[ There's so much to see that when Toothless follows Sparx around interestedly, drawn by the bright little dragonfly's light, Hiccup doesn't really notice and kneels down to help the purple dragon instead. ]

Those are communication devices called phones. They only work inside the fairy-ring surrounding the Station, but you can talk to people with them anywhere inside of it if you have one. If you know the right sequence of sigils on the buttons, the numbers, it'll connect to another phone held by the person whose phone you dialled.

[ Hiccup shrugs. ]

I tend to use the magical lockets, they're a lot more reliable. My names's Hiccup, and this is Toothless.

[dragonshores]

[Having lived his entire life around dragons, Sparx isn't as bothered by Toothless as one might expect. Toothless might be much bigger than his usual dragon companion, but he's still a dragon. He buzzes above the Night Fury's snout and speaks to him in his kazoo voice, saying, "You don't look like any dragon I've ever seen."

Spyro lifts the locket hanging around his neck with his claws and gives it a quick look. He hasn't found a use for it yet so it swings around his throat, generally making a pain of itself.]

Huh. Guess I'll keep it then. I'm Spyro. The dragonfly is Sparx.

[Sparx dips slightly in the air and buzzes, "Nice to meet you!" Spyro nods in agreement.]

So where are you guys from? [His little purple head turns to Toothless.] You look like you're an Artisan. How come I've never met you before?
