DON'T COMMENT BEFORE READING THIS DESCRIPTION!

"(...)"You two are relatives, aren't you?" Wheatley eventually asked Drakonuv. "You both look like each other slightly."

"Brothers... yes..." Drakonuv corrected Wheatley with a sigh as he turned away and folded his forelegs together.
Nala tilted her head and looked at the brown dragon than to Wheatley somewhat confused.

"Oh. Interesting." The white one replied looking to a side for no reason.

"I've figure out the meaning of David's and my persona but Mike I'm still determing some things and Stealthy's is almost and entire mystery to me." she explained as Drakonuv said nothing afterward, seeming sad now as he was filled with regret.

"I can't talk about Stealthy's but maybe the king's has something to do with his courage, maybe?" Wheatley suggested, looking back at Nala and approaching a bit and not noticing Drakonuv’s sadness for now. "Certainly not that alone, though."

"Well the courage is a given silly. And leadership... but the Persona also gives deeper meanings then the obvious. Like maybe his strive to overachieve.... or maybe some insecurity in himself." She said in further detail.

"Hmm..." Wheatley murmured. "You have a point." He said. "I just wish he wasn't so reclusive. He never tells what is going on with him until it is late or somedragon notices. That may kill him someday." He added with some sorrow as he looked towards Braveheart who was still fainted.

"Yes... he's clearly a Type C in personality..." Nala commented as she closed her eyes and crossed her forelegs.

"Type C... type C..." Wheatley pondered aloud for a moment thinking where he knew that from. "Isn't that the one where the individual often cares more about others than with themselves?" He asked looking back at Nala.

"Type A can feel that way too Wheatley... don't just narrow it down to the best trait." Nala said as she stretched her head back.

"Type C doesn't know how to express their emotions a lot of the time and keeps quiet to themselves a lot. They suppress their anger too and have a sense of hopelessness and despair. It's also extremely harmful to one's health both physically and mentally. David is a Type C as well from what I've studied."

The white dragon sat down and lowered his head. "I wish there was a way to change that." He sighed. "It hurts me the way he pushes himself." He looked at the green dragon once more.
"If young David is like that too then he will need to watch out for himself. Now that you have mentioned it I kind of noticed such behavior on him as well but in a much smaller degree." The old lizard commented looking back at the female.

Nala nodded her head slowly then brushed her mane a bit and got up, walking over towards Mike quietly. She pulled out the white, living cap and place it on her head. After waking up and staring down at the green dragon in front of Nala, it flapped its wings lightly as Nala lifted a paw and placed it on Mike's chest.
She closed her eyes and then with the power of the azure cap she transfered her energy to him to help him recover and wake up.

"What are you doing?" Melissa eventually asked while Nala did her thing while Wheatley who was more used to magic and could do some of his own watched.

"Giving him energy... To help him wake..." Nala said quietly as she continued without moving an inch.

"Oh, I see." The doctor murmured as she came closer to watch. Didn't took much long until the male would finally wake up. Groaning faintly as he slowly opened his eyes the first thing the king saw was Nala. "What are... what are you doing?" He murmured slowly.

"Helping you recover..." she repeated as she opened her eyes. She didn't stop giving him energy though... If he planned to perform that spell on the others then he would need the energy of two dragons. Or more...

"Thank you. I guess." Michael replied, gently placing a paw on his face for a moment. "I'm fine now, thank you." He spoke in a nearly normal tone and gestured with his other forepaw for Nala to stop.

"You guess? Hmm... So you're not sure if your grateful or not?" she teased, still not moving even though he said he was fine. She continued to give the green dragon more energy... even if she started to feel a little weak.

"Doesn't matter." Michael replied. "Alright, you can stop now." He took off his paw from his face and looked at Nala then at her paw on his chest. "I must to finish the job." He finished then tried to get up.

"Doesn't matter? Aw... you hurt my feelings Mike..." she whined. "And I know..." she responded to his statement of having to finsh a job, still keeping her paw on his chest and giving him a surplus of life.

"I mean it doesn't matter if I am sure I am fine or not." The male explained. "Can I get up, please?" He asked looking at her again towards Nala and at her paw again.

"But you said Doesn't matter after I asked you if you were grateful or not..." she corrected him with a little smile, placing another paw on his chest then and doubling her efforts. She was just about done... but not yet...

"Oh, that." He murmured. "I just woke up from being knocked down by a powerful spell. My mind is a bit fuzzy. I am sorry for that. I misunderstood." He replied sincerely.

Nala nodded her head and smiled. Her paws then slipped forward and she accidentally fell lightly on top of him in exhaustion. She was awake but so drained of energy...

"Uuuh... are you... are you alright?" Braveheart asked awkwardly before gently nudging Nala on the back with a forepaw. At this point Melissa was distracted with some files and Wheatley watching the horizon through a window.

Nala didn't respond for a little until she murmured. "Out of energy... your scales are pretty comfy by way..." She spoke and complimented weakly. Drakonuv was watching quietly and he couldn't help but chuckle a little at the awkward moment.

Such compliment knocked the green dragon out of any line of thought for a moment. If he had skin like a human his face would be as red as ketchup or pepper. "T-t-thank... you... I-I guess." He murmured uncomfortably and nervously. "Did you... did you really just transferred most of your energy to me?" He asked quickly, running from that subject but still nervous and uncomfortable.

"Yes..." she said in response as she breathed slowly and tiredly. "You'll need it for your spell..." she stated, slowly getting up off his underbelly then staggering over to lay down in a vacant bed in the meantime.

Once he was free Braveheart got off his bed and helped Nala. "Thank you. But it was really risky of your part." He said, passing his neck beneath hers for support and leading her to the bed was laid on for it was the nearest.
All this and the Russian camo-dragon Drakonuv only watched instead of doing anything to help.

"I know... But it's also risky of you to use that amulet... Thank you by the way..." she murmued after he helped her on to the bed. Drakonuv looked away as soon as Mike was up, acting like he never saw anything. Stealthy was staring up at the ceiling blankly, as if in his own world right now.

"No problem." Michael smiled shyly. "It is a risk that I have no way to avoid, I'm afraid." He replied to Nala's point.

"I know... that's why I gave you my energy." She said with a light smile. Stealthy then snapped out of his little trance and looked around, noticing Mike was awake now. He was glad to see his friend was okay.

Michael smiled back but quickly looked away before moving away as well. The type C personality description Nala gave of him to Wheatley matched the dragon perfectly. Any other now could have said anything, hugged Nala or even kissed but this on dragon would never dare such things.
Being Nala and David gone through the purification spell already it seemed that only Drakonuv, Wheatley, Lautrec, Stealthy and himself were left."(...)


EDIT: Figured there was a small mistake with a small detail on the pic. Just fixed it.

It's finished! It's finally finished! Gotta say, though, that if it wasn't for the electrical issues that borked my PC this would be done quite some time ago. Turns out I decided to go with Infirmary Awkwardness as the title anyway. Couldn't find anything else that could be more fitting.

Tried some new things here. A couple new effects, some improved ones but in general, most of the effects are just the same old recipe. But the greatest change was the lineart and coloring. For I made the lineart on Corel then exported and used a new technique I learned to color, I saved one heck ton of time, got greater quality , made it possible and easier to edit lines if needed (and I needed) and as an extra, I gained high definition. And also a HUGE project folder. The folder containing Infirmary Awkwardness's files weights exactly 2.81GB. The final .png file itself has 16.31MB! It's also the work with the most layers so far. 72 layers in total.

I must to say, though, that there are three things on this picture that I am not happy with: Nala's face looks a little boring. Although I tried to improve it, I couldn't make it look any better. ): The other thing is her anatomy/pose. For this is my first attempt at this angle I don't think it came out as good as I wanted. Her neck looks too short, for Pete's sake! And the last thing... the bed. I don't know, it just don't look right to me. =\

If you read the cut above from the story, this is from my RP with ~Dragon-Yoshi61 (Stealthy), The Dark Hour which I am currently slowly uploading to my dA. It's a great story and I don't say it just because I have my characters in it and I write part of it but simply because it is. I wouldn't go through over 970 pages if it wasn't, would I? I recommend you read it. It's a pretty good read! Plus, I've never developed my characters as much before as I am doing now. Follow this story will allow you to fully know them since fully describe them on drawings is not really possible and the only true way to know a character is reading about them.

I'm glad you asked people to read the description before commenting. I know a lot of people who would automatically jump to devious conclusions without a base to go off....which annoys me to no end when people do that

Well

I don't want to say it outright because it is probably not appropriate. I mean no ill to your deviation by it just what I know some sick minds think.

Mike-Dragon In reply to Ardeo-Dragon [2012-09-05 15:13:37 +0000 UTC]

Heh. Exactly for knowing that most people these days have way too dirty minds that I made sure that they would read the context of the picture before jumping into conclusions right away.
