Cendri seemed to notice that clear moment of deep thought for what was seemingly a simple consideration. The little smirk was also noted, and he tilted his head to the side in a small bit of confusion. Tenkan in any case simply gave a nod, "Understood. Step inside." With that, he opened up the door to the transitionary chamber. After he and Nia got inside, he closed the door again and direct Nia to stand in the middle. He stood in front of Nia to demonstrate, "Do as this one does. Extend arms straight, keep legs straight." He held out his arms, and took on a sort of T-Pose, and this seemed to naturally extend the malleable, wing-like sections. He then walked over to Nia to help her do the same, using his hands to angle Nia's arms and pat her sides to make sure everything was okay. Although he also gave a quick, easily missable look at Cendri as he did that which resembled a smirk. Cendri seemed distinctly unamused from outside.
In any case, Nia's suit seemed to be fine when all was said and done. And Tenkan nodded, "Good. Now, jump time. Follow close." As Iula did before, Tenkan walked up to the door, extending his arms again. When the door opened, this time Nia would feel the powerful winds within push into the transitionary room, though it was still mostly contained in the main section. Tenkan then leaped forward, and his wings got caught up in the wind, allowing him to float and sort of fly. He smiled to Nia from within and gestured for her to do the same.

Zasstourk was the first to speak, looking back as he was picking out a massive slab of meat, "Hahaha! I see you are playing along for the hatchling's sake! Very well, then clearly I am from the ancient star kingdom of Qoatkarla! But regardless of where you are from, I assure you the cooking is quite up to any standard!" He then hummed happily as he roasted the meat with his breath, with his tail going to grab a very large cleaver. Although clearly, he was not in on the loop about the discovery of the Valxes, and did not take one word of that seriously from Myrsa. But what he was cooking seemed to smell good at least, as he was chopping it up into servable portions. Tarral meanwhile chuckled at the table, "Not everyone is aware of you three yet, so don't be offended. Still, I suppose it is a difference to get some proper Draconic furniture. Then again, I guess you mostly got out of that cave in the softskin body, right? Must have felt weird, to be so small. You were very small before when we met after all!" She used her claws to simulate the smallness, "Like that! And by the way, as Mondron... That's the continent. Zasstourk there is a Mountain Dragon. Not sure if you had the same sort of cultural distinctions on Sa'herod. The food I think he's making is from what softskins call 'Heordal Bison', we call them Renthoa. Big, meaty fluffies who move in big herds around Mondron's hills. They're quite tasty, with all their muscles."
Tyfrondor simply gave a nod at the mentioning of writing that Katak'sar was once sovereign. That would go into the records, as well as the formality of the challenge. The Grand Drake remained silent as Sar'ksasa made her vows, noting all the little intricacies she had woven in. It was a contract effectively, and Tyfrondor understood it well. The ancient terms didn't get in his way too much, as while they were archaic, he was quite used to them. Lots of formal Heordal business was still done with the ancient tongue, as were conversations with Grumpy. The dialect was only a slight hurdle, but context clues helped clear that up. As Sar'ksasa finished, Tyfrondor nodded down at her, his voice going formal in response, "As Valak Saresh of Heord, supreme authority for all Dragons on this world, and as the head of Clan Granion... I, Tyfrondor, accept your vows, Sar'ksasa Katak'sar, with all the obligations it carries. Stand tall and proud, my new right wing! You are now kin of Heord." With that, he gave a quick look to the side at one of the Watrike Golden Guard. The Watrike quickly saluted and walked off. Tyfrondor then returned his gaze to Sar'ksasa, "You'll be given a cave, as promised. One nearby that is vacant. This cave will be given to your clan as a whole. You can find and claim others individually. Now, as for your hoard... I suppose now we have to talk strategy of how you intend to get your bank back."
