Qirri and Vekk

When Qirri first arrived in Elona to set up shop for the Dragonwatch Krewe as her sister, brother-in-law, and best friend dealt with the threat of Balthazar, first order of business was getting around faster.

She was introduced to a number of raptors at the stable after training with one of the raptor keepers, but she was drawn to a mostly empty stable where a runty raptor was meandering about, and when he looked right at her, she blinked.

"That's Slowpoke," the young man pointed out. "He's not very bright. Too small, too. You'll need something sturdier."

Qirri's ears lifted. She tilted her head this way and that. The raptor tipped his head to and fro right along with her, tongue dangling out of his mouth as he panted. Too small. Unwanted.

Her gaze shifted back up to the young man.

"...no. I think I want this one."

And that is how the Dragonwatch krewe chief came into the possession of Vekk, a runty golden retriever of a raptor who wants nothing more than to make his keeper happy.
