"So, what's the call Boss?" Darej surveyed the area. The dragons were clearly having a leisure time here. Most of his eyeing those were on the female dragon was definitely going to be the most difficult. A scorn mother's rath is one that deserves the most caution. Was there a chance that any of the dragons could be restrained stealthy? .... Very low chance of that, but why not the risk?
He was ready for this. Aurora quickly pulled her blond hair back into a tight ponytail as she studied the four dragons on the beach just a few meters away. Pulling on a pair of thick dragon-hide gloves she turned first to Darej gesturing as she spoke. "The call is that you Darej together with Krzysztof and Albert go for the small male dragon that is looking ready to pounce on a seal in the waters. If we recapture him first, then maybe it will lure the circling dragon to come down to the ground too." They needed to catch the dragons that weren’t nesting first to clear the way to the expecting mother that undoubtedly was going to be the hardest test of all.
Turning to her personal assistant she asked with a small smile pursing her lips despite the adrenaline that she felt was rising in her veins by the thrill of what was to come. "Carson, did you bring along all the extra clothes, cages and equipment we need to catch these last 4 dragons?" Yes, she knew she was probably making him feel like a packrat, but who else was Aurora going to entrust with the mission’s vital things? Quote:

She arrived in clothes made for being active, her wand tucked safely into her holster on her arm. "Jessica Tomas, International Cooperation, foreign relations officer." she said as she approached the fellow who was lingering there. She offered him her hand. "I assume your a dragon....keeper? Dragon person?" she chuckled a little and wondered where the others from her department were. Aurora next turned her attention to the IMC employee that was clearly not dressed or prepared for this mission at all. Sigh. Lovely, they’d need to keep an eye on her, so she didn’t get herself wounded or worse eaten by a dragon. "I’ll skip the intros since time is of the essence here. Jessica suit up in fire-proofed protection gear from head to toe that you’ll get from my assistant; Carson then I’ll give you your assignment." Because Ms Tomas wouldn’t be of any use to anyone if she wore a long skirt, blouse, and high heels on a bank of sand. It was going to be a long day; Aurora was already certain of that. Quote:

" Looks like my focus will be on that mother-to-be." She paused to slip on a pair of her think gloves. " I don't meant to be rude ... Ms. Tomás ...I only just overheard you saying you were a foreign relations officer...but have you fireproofed your clothes yet? Or a pair of proper gloves?" If not, Kurumi always carried around a spare or two just in case that she could lend.
The other man she thought she may have seen during one of the previous missions elsewhere. Kurumi had not been present for all of them, her father's rehabilitation had required her attention...as had the recovery of her daughter from her term at Hogwarts, but there was a certain familiarity. * * * * * * *
Still, the Polish dragonologist was a little tired on his feet working overtime in tracking and tracing all these dragons for the past several months since these Neo Alliance kretyni had wrecked havoc on the world...so he would be glad when today was over and done, dragons accounted for, and he could just lay in bed on his magnificent new mattress that his Star Stuff had picked out for his man cave. Though it was a little less a man cave now. Modestly a man cave. His golden retriever was the true owner of the flat anyway and she ran a tight ship.
Pausing to scratch his side, the remnants of some potent dittany based stitching agitated his skin a bit, he surveyed the scene and found his bright blues lingering on the dragon looking out at the seafood buffet before him. Quote:

Dragons, and creatures in general were fun and exciting, but one legwork after another, despite his new set of hips, was just not his cup of tea. Apparently though, everyone in the Ministry and outside it have been busy post-war, and he was no exception. He was lucky to have Aramis on hand to help him out at the Grove with the rest of his employees, but to deal with full-grown dragons... four of it, by the way, was a different story altogether. As a Magizoologist, this was rather exciting. As an old grumpy enforcement officer of the Ministry, this was maddening; it wasn't just legwork... it also meant government paperwork. It was as if they don't have enough of that already.
Arriving at the destination, Albert joined the forming group giving Aurora and Georgia Templeton a nod of hello, and to Patterson who seemed... rather excited. Good. He will be needing the energy. "Albert Morgenstern, Head of the MC Enforcement Division." And no, Dragonology wasn't his speciality, however, he was on board this mission to make sure that the retrieval process was within the laws of the MC Department and of the ICW. That was his job, after all. "And this is..." "Mordred Mordaunt, Dragonologist." the man appeared just behind Albert, offering his short and sweet introduction to the formed group eyeing them one by one with his ever intense gaze. The dragonologist did not plan to be present in the said mission, but because the call was made to virtually all the keepers of Reserves, he simply could not turn a blind eye. The Society of Dragonologists UK has been buzzing with reports lately, and he'd been lucky to miss some of those missions, until today. Mordred would rather be at home resting and recuperating and just... be left alone for once while three of his kids are in Hogwarts. However, duty calls, and he cannot let Albert down. He's got a family name to uphold.
His eyes then finally landed on Kurumi HollingberryRasting, one of the members of the infamous Toot Team under WWW. She still looked the same, surprisingly, but her presence was not totally a surprise. In fact, Mordred expected her to be there, as well as Ella. "Kurumi," a nod of hello was given to the former Gryffindor Cookie Girl, then turned his gaze towards the four dragons in question.
With his arms crossed in thought, he didn't realize that his expression turned from nonchalance to brooding as he recalled what his twins had witnessed and endured back in their school "field trip". The children were used as pawns, and pitted against their survival. It was a good thing that his own children were well-versed in dragons, however, it did not in any way ensured their safety.
Mordred let out a long sigh and shuffled a few paces away from the group to get a better look at the dragons. Looking at them brought peace to the man, believe it or not. Aurora was observing the dragons as Ms Hollingberry and Mr Mordaunt joined in their little rendezvous group. Nodding hellos to them both she took charge and started to give orders since there was not much time for small talk. "Ms Hollingberry, I assume I can entrust you to place all your focus and energy on recapturing the nestling mother? We need to establish if she has laid any eggs or not yet. If she has laid any eggs then we need to take those with us too." Looking over at the man standing nearby she asked. "Mr Mordaunt will you be willing to assist Ms Hollingberry in capturing the nestling dragon?"
