This was a job almost too good to be true for the princess. Inhospitable climate? Check- even if home was actually even worse than this green excuse for a desert. Dangerous wildlife? Check- still not sure what exactly a dragon was, but everyone seemed convinced they weren't to be taken lightly and were, in fact, quite dangerous. Chance for personal gain? Double check! The coin would be nice, but the chance to end up with a few dangerous beasts of her own should she "fail" to bring back all of the eggs was a nice bonus. If they were as ferocious as she'd hoped, it could easily be the fourth or even third best gift she could think of!
Naturally, that's where her mind was as she tried her absolute best to quietly approach the nest. That part, she managed to pull off- no mean feat, considering the princess was about eight feet and several hundred pounds of armor-clad alien muscle. But had she bothered to stop focusing on the payoff and more on the current situation, well...she might have remembered that it was actually quite difficult to hide someone like her out here in the middle of a desert. And more importantly, that it wasn't likely that the creature responsible for the nest would take such an intruder lightly.
And she really can't help but wince as an ear-splitting reptilian shriek from somewhere entirely too close reminds her of that fact. When she turns to investigate, she can't help but feel a little disappointed- she thought the creature she was supposed to be on the lookout for was going to be bigger. It wasn't exactly small, but she'd gone and hyped herself up too much. She suddenly found herself much less enthusiastic at the prospect of getting a few of her own. Especially since this one seemed to do little more than aggressively posture and hiss at her. And what was the point of such a threat display if there was no threat to back it up?
"Is that all? I had expecte-"
Aaaand thanks to Looma's insistance on poking the proverbial bear, that dismissal quickly turned into a pained grunt as the creature lunged into her. And another shortly thereafter, as that particular lunge managed to hit with enough force to take her off her feet and crashing right into a rocky outcropping behind her. This 'dragon' wasn't foolish, either- it leapt off her in time to avoid a retaliatory swing of her fists, but judging from the way it was keeping her front and center as it circled back around toward the nest it wasn't about to just leave either. Then again, neither was Looma. And she was all smiles as rose up off the ground, warhammer now in hand.
"Ooooooooh, now I really want one. Maybe two!"
Someone, anyone, save this girl from making any more poor decisions this day. Like, say, trying to solo a freaking dragon.

[Congratulations everyone, someone's gone and decided to use the amulet equivalent of "Send All," and she's about as easy on the ears as an elephant's trumpet. Or, well, easy on the brain's ears...she wasn't entirely sure how these amulets worked, just that they did, and that they let her yell at all of you at once. So have a distinctly displeased looking alien warrior princess glowering at you.]
I have been informed that my holdings here may no longer be mine. And as a show of good faith, should anyone have claimed my home during my absence, I have a message. If you act quickly, I will assume you have only taken possession of what is mine to see to its proper care. And if you return it to me, all will be well.
[She's...clearly not used to being nice, but she's trying, darn it. It just doesn't last all that long, because her expression manages to sour further all too soon. And that booming voice suddenly has just a tiny bit hostility to it.]
Should you refuse, know that no amount of this world's power will be enough to fix what I will do to you.
[Yep, Looma's back, and still Looma. Frankly if she weren't so easily distracted, this ultimatum would have been made the moment she found herself on the island again. That first week was a grace period, all things considered.]
