STATS
Name: Oswald
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Description: Oswald is a man of average height and size. He slouches, making him look smaller than he is. His brown hair hangs down to his shoulders and his eyes always look a bit tired or bored. He has a wide nose and often scowls. Oswald has a dated style, sticking to clothes that were in style several decades ago. 
Personality: Oswald is not a very pleasant man. He likes to complain and if he doesn't get his way you won't hear the end of it. He has a high impression of himself so he feels better than most other people. As long as you let him do his things he won't be too difficult though.
Social Circle: Married to Odette, Oswald doesn't have a lot of close friends though he doesn't know why. 
Short Bio: Oswald grew up in a small village. His parents were high up on the social ladder, and even later, when they moved closer to the Healing Den where he currently resides, they kept up their way of life.  

2. THE CHECKERBOARD BALL
Their dancing in the third hour before midnight was formal, as usual, or what Oswald called 'dancing'. Just dancing. It was his way, of course. Odette seemed to think there was more to it, and excitedly pointed out a pair that were apparently doing the Jitterbug. She knew perfectly well he couldn't be paid enough to make a fool of himself on the dance floor.
"Harrumph indeed", a voice snuck into his mind. He knew it wasn't a sound, because the dragon it came from was standing right there next to them on the dance floor. Bold, dark against the white marble floor. 
"They have little regard for tradition. But I do - and tradition is to choose a bond after hatching. So I have chosen you."
Though he was surprised, he wasn't particularly fussed about this. "Well that's good for everyone, then," Oswald replied. "I've heard that tradition includes me finding you food and offering ... a nice scratch behind the chin."
Which he did.
