Cast: Saarva (Sky) & Cabaletto (Iron)
[12:01 AM] Best Birb | Sky: Interview RP: Cabaletto - @IronPegasus | (o•v•o)
Saarva takes the papers on the desk in front of him and shuffles them into order then places them down. Then notices one of the papers are slightly out of place and shuffles the stack again to make them neater.
"(Dang you, papers)" he cursed.
But after the third time of shuffling, they are to his liking. Then he realizes that the next application isn't on the top of the stack and he mentally facepalms. He shifts through and finds the application of the upcoming appointment, and puts it on top, then shuffling once more.
"This should go smoothly... Dragons and Herons have learned to work together for years..."
Saarva shifts in his seat and hums a tune to himself in waiting.
[12:16 AM] IronPegasus | (o•v•o): Outside, a tall figure had his fingertips on the doorknob but had yet to make a move to turn it. Come on, Cabaletto. This should be simple! His heart, however, disagreed. It beat loudly against his ribs. So loudly, he thought, that anyone nearby would be able to hear it. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, the man twisted the knob and in one smooth motion stepped into the room.
His first impression of the office was that it was small. His second was that it was very neat. There was only a stack of papers on the desk, arranged into a very neat pile. Behind those papers sat a man, looking a bit worn-out but expectant none-the-less. That must be Saarva, the Dragon.
"Greetings, my good sir! I am Cabaletto the Courageous, here for my interview." The Heron dipped into a bow, sweeping his broad hat from his head and pulling it close to his chest as he did so. He remained in the position expectantly for Saarva's reply.(edited)
[12:21 AM] Best Birb | Sky: "Ah, welcome, Cabaletto, the Courageous, (heron brother! It's nice to meet someone from a little closer to home!)" Saarva spoke, with a welcoming smile. He stood up and offered a handshake. He began his reply in Millo, but shifted to Pallo unconsciously. He's so used to speaking with dragons and herons in Pallo, that it's second-nature.
"(Please be sure to take a seat, and we can begin whenever my heron brother is ready)"(edited)
[12:30 AM] IronPegasus | (o•v•o): The Heron didn't miss a bit, following Saarva's language change smoothly. "(I thank thee for thy hospitality,)" he said as he swept his hat back onto his black-haired head. Cab pulled the chair out from its place underneath the desk, considered it for a moment, and spun it around before sitting in it backwards. His scabbard banged uncomfortably against the wooden floorboards as he did so.
"(Shalt we begin, dragon brother?)"(edited)
[12:33 AM] Best Birb | Sky: "(Of course! Now, my heron brother, would you mind telling me of any abilities you have, save the obvious singing and shifting?)" Saarva inquired, while he sat down and prepared his ink and feather pen. He was certainlly interested in the sound made against the chair, but he'd save that for further questioning, if time allowed.(edited)
[12:41 AM] IronPegasus | (o•v•o): The Heron puffed out his chest. "(With this very sword at mine own side, I can fight!)" He briefly mimed slashing with his right hand as he spoke. "(Any villain that encounters me should fearth for his life, lest I run him clean through!)"(edited)
[12:48 AM] Best Birb | Sky: "Hmm?" Saarva said, quite intrigued.
"(My heron brother, do you mean to tell me that you've not a pacifist? Quite interesing...)" he said, as he jotted down a note.
Singing 
Swordmanship
Confidence
"(Now, the rest of Laqueos is far from the reality of the Isle of White. I'm sure while there you were able to intimidate many without so much as unsheathing thine blade from it's scabbard... If we must fight enemies, will you truly be prepared to fight alongside us? While a heron's song would be of utmost help to us, everyone must be able to pull their own weight...)" Saarva replied. He made sure to choice his words carefully. He wanted to point out his heron lineage logically, and he especially didn't want to offend a heron, though he didn't want to sugarcoat his concerns, as a recruiter of the Drakone's cause.(edited)

[1:02 AM] IronPegasus | (o•v•o): "(I am insulted that thee shouldst bethink me a coward, dragon brother!)" Despite his words, Cabaletto didn't actually feel particularly insulted. He's right. If he knew I've never fought anyone, why, he'd kick me out of this office right away.
"(Mine own words are backed with steel! I shalt do everything in mine power to bringeth the scoundrels who attacked us to justice!)" With a jerk, he stood up and placed his hand on the pommel of his sword, as if to draw it.(edited)
[1:14 AM] Best Birb | Sky: "(haha, heron brother, I wouldst think you a coward, of course... But you cannot blame me for asking, as most heron wouldn't dare being anything but pacifist. But it is clear to me that you are no ordinary bird of song. Now, please, do not unsheath your blade, heron warrior."
Saarva knew he could handle a fight. But he'd make sure to note this one's power and eagerness.
Ready to fight at a moment's notice, despite the enemy
Defends one's honor
"(Now, I've mostly what I needed from you, but would you be so kind as to entertain me with an answer to one last question? What song do you happen to fancy the most?)"
This might seem like a strange question, but Saarva was curious what songs to expect from such a unique heron.

[1:28 AM] IronPegasus | (o•v•o): Cabaletto stayed his hand, electing instead to drop back into the chair with a thunk. "(Thy confidence is greatly appreciated,)" he remarked as the Dragon jotted down a few more notes. I hope that's a good sign.
"(My favorite song is one mine own mother wrote for me when I wast but a wee fledgling. Tis based upon my favorite legend of a Beorc who combatted the forces of Winter to save Laqueos.)"(edited)
[1:37 AM] Best Birb | Sky: "Ah, (a song of nostalgia...)" Saarva said as he wrote his last note:
Nostalgia can invigorate and love, good quality
He stood up yet again, and spoke
"(Well, heron brother, I believe our time here is done. I much appreciate your answers. You'll be notified if you are accepted.)"
ahem
"And if you'd like a piece of candy, you may grab one on the way out. I assure you they're vegan"
he lastly extended his hand for a final handshake.(edited)
[1:44 AM] IronPegasus | (o•v•o): "(I look forward to working with thee.)" The Heron stood to accept Saarva's handshake and returned it as firmly as he could. He returned the chair to its former resting place and cocked one lemon-yellow eye sideways to examine the candy bowl. "(I think I shalt. Thank thee.)"
With a newly-obtained sweet in his hand, Cabaletto let himself out of the office and closed the door with a click behind him. He let out a breath that he hadn't realized he'd be holding. I think that went well.
[1:46 AM] Best Birb | Sky: "(Heh, I've never met such an oddity of a heron before... How quant...)" Saarva noted to himself out loud, before he went back to shuffling his papers again.
[1:47 AM] Best Birb | Sky: ===End RP===
