Outside Sky
(Well, it's become rather obvious once he looks up - something
is blocking out sunlight and taking up much of the sky.)

(It might well be, since it looks like a few small pieces dropped out the underside of it and start to fall towards the ground. They get a little bigger as they approach before disappearing behind the trees, enough for him to make out the outline of what looks like futuristic dropships. A low rumbling can be heard from that direction soon afterwards.)

(It wouldn't take terribly long to find where those objects landed - four in total, looking like landing craft about the size of a wide-bodied plane each. Figures in black armor with white-colored underlining and very spherical helmets
note are already filing out to secure the perimeter - one man dressed in an officer's uniform
is just outside the central ship's door alternating between looking at a clipboard and looking around the deployments.)
Officer: (through a bullhorn) Make sure this area is secured before his coffee break is over!

Military guys, huh... Grayson, let's not do our best to pick a fight here. Try to alert 'em without any pretense of being hostile.
(grunts)
I dunno, try something!
(nods, before making a descent and landing with a THUD near the edge of the clearing)

Clearing
(That got their attention pretty well. Probably a dozen of those soldiers suddenly charge their futuristic-sounding rifles and turn to look at what that was...followed by a wave of shock going across their faces as they see what exactly was the source of that sound.)
Soldier: Uh, s-sir...?
Officer: (shocked into silence for a moment) Uh, h-hold your fire! Maybe it'll go look for something to eat, like...not us?
(Apparently none of them seemed to have noticed Grayson's ride yet.)

(The solders, naturally, draw their attention to Hoshi's appearance.)
Officer: (looks between the two for a moment) Oh, um, he's yours is he? Well, you need to leave this area - this is a restricted military zone now.
(Taking cue, several of the soldiers nearest to Hoshi and Grayson have resumed a more alert position with their rifles.)

Officer: (somewhat incredulous look) Uh... (motions around him) this one? The Imperious Forces of the Spaceballs?
(Way up above, another small group of dropships drop away from the really big spaceship and start to approach.)
Voice from inside a ship: Colonel, second convoy is on it's way.
Colonel: (turns his head towards the door, visible fear as he mouths a swear before turning back to Hoshi and Grayson) Look, you don't want any trouble - just take your pet dragon and get on out of here before things get messy.

Colonel: (raises eyebrow) Coulda fooled me: got no armor on you and you're flying around on a tamed orange dragon. Don't see any weapons on you, either...(narrows eyes suspiciously) unless you're hiding something...

Colonel: (dithers for a moment) Well...I would like to be able to say that right here and now. There's just one problem. (ends by looking from Hoshi's eyes towards a spot behind, just as a faint sound of some high-pitched whirring approaching from behind him starts to become quite audible)
