Which brings me to my funny mental image of Saphira snarking over how delicate airplanes are (they only have seven “feathers”, can’t twist around to avoid things, and don’t bond with their riders, pitiful!) XD She might appreciate supersonic flight and rocket launches however. Thorn might find the size of cockpits concerning, even the big ones. Fírnen might think planes and rockets are cool simply because I can see him always being the enthusiastic baby of the group.

As an aside, Orrin’s descendants might invent the first airplane/rocket if the dwarves don’t get to it first haha.

What do you think our favorite rider/dragon duos would say about flying machines?

*rubs hands together* This is what my blog is made for.

ERAGON: Would despise planes! They allow significantly less control and involvement. He would just be anxiously sitting there. I think he would be extremely fascinated in new technology, but not trust it very easily. Loves it on the ground though!

ARYA: Wants to and will fly the aerial machinery. Has created complex forms of aerodynamics and will proceed to challenge Firnen’s top speed, then move on and challenge the top speed of other airplanes. Crash imminent, care zero.

ORIK: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TURN THIS BLASTED GOAT-LOVING, ARSE-KISSING, HORSE PIE LICKIN THING OFF!!! ERAGON!! HVEDRA: *sips tea*

RORAN: *maniacal goblin sounds* Would definitely want to use any life-saving gear in the plane just for the sake of it. Wants to understand the mechanics of the plane but doesn’t, so he just enjoys learning about it and makes off with a hopefully not important piece of metal.

GARZHVOG: Not okay with the pressure-in-your ears part of flights, but accepts it because of the little packets of peanuts you get during the ride.

NASUADA: Clutching the seat in front of her with great dignity. Did NOT fund this technology project.

ELVA: Sticking her feet into the seat of the person in front of her.

ORRIN: Helped design, create, and fund the making of this plane. Had an amazing time. Still extremely interested in reminding himself how everything works. Probably would get airsick (he strikes me as the type) but he doesn’t care.

MURTAGH: Would prefer to be with Thorn in literally any scenario but will accept it if he has to as long as it’s clean. Could not care less about the mechanics as long as they work, BUT he does love watching planes.

That being said, I apologize that I cannot draw dwarves, and can we please acknowledge that this is a scene that exists in Brisingr—

AWW. ERAGON: would literally spend months GROWING flowers just to give something special.

ARYA: Would make something really impressive, leave it, and completely brush off every acknowledgement like it didn’t matter. Then she’d secretly be extremely proud and happy of the reaction the gift got.

ORIK: A good hand-made gift and a hot Nagra is the way to his heart and to Hvedra’s. They are a match approved by Gûntera himself.

MURTAGH: Would spend hours upon hours finding Nasuada the perfect new dress down to the most minute detail. Then he would locate chocolate.

NASUADA: Prepares a small party just for him—with people he likes, his favorite foods and desserts he’s mentioned, good drinks, and plenty of time to dance.

ORRIN: Would spend a long time to create something super nerdy and useful as a gift and feel really good about it.

SAPHIRA: *tackles Fírnen affectionately* *may or may not have found a new hunting grounds he’ll adore*

FÍRNEN: Catches the biggest, best buck he can find and leaves it for Saphira.

THORN: Would clear out the most perfect section of the forest he could and create the absolute perfect place to lie in the sun and sleep and eat and just enjoy the day together.

GARZHVOG: I have no idea but it would probabaly involve wrestling.

RORAN: Makes new furniture exactly how Katrina wants it. Then he creates the cheesiest ‘be my valentine’ speech ever and the rest can be left to the imagination.

KATRINA: Makes pie. A lot of it.

ELAIN: Is all about little knitted gifts! Mittens, socks, blankets—she gives them to everybody! Eragon still has his old gifts from her on Arngor now, and he keeps and uses everything she sends him like treasure.

ANGELA: Mysterious and colorful bioluminescent mushrooms she’s preserved so that they can be hung on the wall as an admirable light source.

ERAGON: Makes so much soup. Soup all day. Basically becomes a mother hen. Good friend.

ARYA: Disappears all day then shows up with a suspicious tea and a poem to quietly chat until they’re sleepy.

MURTAGH: Gets awkward because he doesn’t know what to do when people are sick so he just sends anonymous gifts and visits when they wake up from nap to be sure they’re all right

RORAN: Lets them sleep all day. Is personally a drama queen when sick, so is convinced everyone is dying if they aren’t asleep when sick.

ORIK: Is super concerned and trying very gently to make them feel better. Is actually very comforting and patient.

HVEDRA: Will chase them will a kitchen ladle if they don’t rest (did this to Eragon once) but will be a sweet and motherly soup-bringer if they stay put.

BROM: “Ah. Um…” *proffers mint tea* *whacks them with stick if they don’t get in bed*

OROMIS: Waits until afflicted is like on the verge of collapse then tells them they can go home. (Who authorized this man to teach? Honey I love you but no)

NASUADA: Orders a day of rest and sends books so that they have something to do.

ALÍN: Really wants to help and probably walks in way too many times for them to ever sleep but she means well and brought food, drinks, entertainment, and blankets.

UVEK: Doesn’t really know what he’s supposed to do but would start trying tribal chants in order to heal them

GARZHVOG: “YOU SHAKE LIKE LEAF. WANT FIRE?”

ANGELA: Brings more potions than should be able to fit in her clothes. Yet there they are.

SAPHIRA: Shows no affection for anyone accept Eragon and his group typically but will help by telling someone their friend is sick so they can be help. She will also grace them with her presence.

THORN: *comforts the afflicted*

FÍRNEN: Would bring them blankets to be helpful and sit and wait, watching you with puppy eyes, for them to bundle themselves in the blankets he brought.

ORRIN: Is usually the one sick. Terrible immune system. 0/10.

How IC Characters Would React to Dinosaurs, Part Fourteen; Plesiosaurus:

ERAGON: Wonders if the teeth, once lost, could be collected to serve as decent arrow heads.

MURTAGH: Collects the teeth to make the arrow heads and a slightly emo necklace.

ARYA: Riding this sucker with a spear in her hand, shouting war cries in common elvish like an inebriated cavewoman.

NASUADA: “They’re in the water supply now???”

ORIK: “Holy Kilf. Holy KILF. Hvedra. Hvedra, it’s Aunt-f***ing’-Beatrice!!

GARZHVOG: “No horns. Disappointing. Neck like stick.” Is promptly slapped by a flipper and forced to learn how to swim VERY quickly. “I apologize. Good strength.” *leaves*

UVEK: Is trying to tie leather armor onto it.

ALÍN: :0000

ANGELA: “Now, Howard, I thought we discussed this already! The local fish population simply cannot clean you that fast! You have to go south of here— yes, to the reef! Do I need to call Marlin?”

SOLEMBUM: is gone faster than you can realize he was even there in the first place.

BROM: “…like a blasted sea chicken with arms—“ *walks off muttering*

SILNA: sacrifices the nearest bird and blows this popsicle stand

SAPHIRA: Eragon, this is going too far. I’m not even sure what this is! Have the Nïdwhal been seeing problems?

THORN: Thinks it looks like a fat extraterrestrial spaghetti and is now wheezing quietly in laughter.

FÍRNEN: It is a manatee with big neck and big teeth, is it not?

GLAEDR: is vaguely annoyed by this thing purely because he thinks it’s disproportionate

OROMIS:

MORZAN: would try and use this thing as an extra battle beast but like for pretend scenarios

GARROW: “…and this, children, is why I hate the Bay of Fundor.”
