This may seem like an odd request, but are there any nearby forests I can burn? If not, a large field would suffice. A very... very large field. Preferably one with no people around for reasons that I hope should be obvious enough.
It's something I have to do. Really.
[a small cough. silence. the people here seem open-minded enough, so explaining her circumstances shouldn't be an issue. but still... uhhhhh what else-]
... So, I've been reading a lot of books at the library and couldn't find anything on Manakete. Ma-na-kete. Is anyone even familiar with the word? There was plenty of information on dragons in general, of course, but not a single mention of Manakete specifically.
[another pause. if her kind doesn't exist in this world, doesn't this make her an endangered species or something? suddenly Nah has a vague idea of how Yarne felt. huh.]
Er, thank you for your time.

I'll meet you in the Nonah military facility. Take the porter from the Cape over to there.
[ She'll see what paperwork she can fill out in triplicate to get a sign off on a safe drop off location with minimal collateral damage. She's... curious to see what Nah can do, honestly, and fire is part of a necessary cycle in life. Controlled is better given the general regions, but there were ways of mitigating fallout.
Like islands.
Islands in lakes.
Island meadows in lakes on government property.
Perfect. ]

Gotcha! I'll fly over there right now!
[it's great being able to transform without worrying about having to find rare and breakable stones, although it could pose as an issue if her rampaging urges ever get out of hand.
well. not like that would ever happen.]
action?
So... fireworks!
Needless to say, Annie is in the official waiting room outside of the access to the Porter, dressed about as Nah would recognize. She has a name tag pinned to her shirt. It says "Guest." ]
You made good time. How fast can you go?
action!
Faster than a hawk!
[wait. no. that's just an exaggeration.]
... That is to say, pretty fast.

She turns toward the uniformed woman standing at the door. They exchange nods of a sort, Annie waiting for the other woman to open the door for them to pass through before gesturing for Nah to come along through. ]
How often have you used these?
[ There's always people around to run the technology, and so they're waves and directed along to avoid getting in the way of anyone else in the immediate area of the porter. ]
sorry for the late, just got off hiatus!
everything's still so... weird. plus, there's a public library full of books she still needs to scour.]
Not many times? Maybe closer to none at all.
welcome back!
Mm. This can be distressing the first few times. Your stomach feels strange when you go through. It's fast.
[ She holds out her arm, halting them both when one of the technician calls out for a stop. A few seconds and they're waved onward, up toward the upraised pad itself. ]
Ready?
thank you!
[that is to say, she's pretty nervous.]

Remember to breathe. It'll be fine.
[ Annie takes a shoulder's width apart stance on the porter as the countdown begins. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... teleportation to another place entirely! ]
