What made this a Resort anyway? Was it better than Ischia and if so, how? Well, those questions weren’t going to answer themselves probably. It was said that most of his nieces and nephews, cousins (first, second removed, whatever), and perhaps even a full sibling, resided here. Yet, none of them had visited the Isle he lead, or even - which was stranger - Nerine. Heartfire ruled it now, after all.He could get over the fact that perhaps they didn’t like him (not that he particularly fancied that idea, but he knew his personality to be found… hard to be around, at times, by some). But Heartfire had always tried her best to keep her family close. So, to him, it was weird that nobody ever visited. Well, yes it was cold - but Nerine was doable in summer even to people used to this (way too) hot climate. Yuck. He could not stand it much longer than a single visit; exception for the time when it had been winter and there had been lots of snow and ice. Anyway, what’s done is done, and since he was already visiting Tephra, the Resort couldn’t be much worse. Besides, it smelled like the Jungle, if one forgot about the salt (but the same thing could be said about Ischia back in the day). Now, he stood at the beach, chest heaving with the effort to swim. The water quickly ran off his body, sure, but perhaps… he was finally getting sick as well. But he couldn’t be stopped by the sickness now. A leader had to make such sacrifices, even one of a previously safe land. Especially one without too many subjects; needing to travel back and forth to the common lands perhaps more often than others. That made him wonder if all former safe lands had acted as a form of sanctuary; and what they would do now that the fairies had taken it all back?

Isn’t that a sight - poor animal. He cannot help but think it as soon as he spies the small, white, out-of-place arctic fox. His own best friend shifts into that form every now or then, and Leilan remembers Jesper telling him how the thick, warm fur has kept him alive and repelled the icy waters surrounding the Isle more than once. What it would do in this tropical place... Leilan himself probably could not stand it long enough, and isn’t planning on a long visit therefore. As Leilan occupies himself with the fox, it doesn’t occur to him immediately that the white male in front of him who shines like a full moon in the bright sunlight, is the Resort’s new leader. It does occur however as soon as the man speaks his name, and asks him about his business. The ice-carrying, scaled stallion grins his pointy teeth at the island leader. ”I’m Leilan, of Icicle Isle. I figured a visit was long overdue - a large enough part of my family is supposed to be living here, but I see they’ve chosen the quiet life once more.” Though the Scortoni’s are usually curious by nature, neither seems willing to lead or - sadly - even come out of the sorry excuse for the Jungle. ”I feel like you two may have missed your calling.” he outs then, looking from the white male to the winter creature at his own scaled feet. ”I’m sure Jesper would absolutely adore meeting with you.” he tells the fox more than the stallion.
