Never one to stray too far outside of the Citadel in the midst of Deepfrost, Nina meandered through the streets with Ember at her heels. Every now and then, the little fire sprite would dart away to chase a ningo or greet a neighbor, but it seemed to be on its best behavior today - it hadn't run off entirely, leaving Nina to follow behind, scandalized and mortified in equal measure. Or perhaps Ember simply knew that their destination would be worthwhile, for it didn't take long before the pair heard the shouts of glee coming from ahead, and the elemental bounced on ahead of its bonded to leap directly into the white dragon Deimos had just erected.
Nina resisted the urge to drop her head into her hand as she appeared alongside the Warden. "I am sorry about Ember," she said, embarrassment tinging her cheeks pink. "I do not believe a leash would be effective, and it takes advantage far too often -" Just then, the fire elemental popped out of the other side of the dragon, leaving a hole melted in its middle. The Keeper made a sound that might have been a sigh. "Ember," she hissed. "Come here."
