  The Whiptail dragon only grinned at her grumbling friend. Her long, striped tail twitched excitedly as she speed-walked ahead of the Royal Crimson. Clearly, Energy Twinkle was excited, as she nearly always was, even for the smallest thing. Hopping onto a mound of soil stacked against the thick trunk of a tree, she flashed a grin at Rhys, her canines plainly showing, before jumping off it.

  "[b]Nope![/b]" she answered, skipping ahead once more, "[b]My hunting shift starts at that time and there's no way I'm going out at night if we're gonna do this.[/b]" At that, she paused before slowly continuing onwards, deliberately not looking at her friend as she continued speaking.

  "[b]Speaking of which, it might not entirely be...within the uh, barrier[/b]," admitted Energy hesitantly. She was actually a little surprised that Rhys hadn't noticed that they had passed the exit earlier, one of few in the magical barrier that surrounded their clan. Of course, the exits looked no different than the rest of the barrier, due to the Elder dragons' illusionary spell, but any dragon that knew magic could sense the subtle shift in the barrier to know that it was an entrance or exit point. Only the dragons chosen to infiltrate the Human Lands went through those. Granted, the dragons that had to hunt also left the barrier on a daily basis but they had to stick to a set perimeter to avoid contact with the humans. 

  To sum it all up, Energy was breaking a rule. Maybe two if she went through with what she wanted to show her friend. Then again, she had ensured that no dragon had seen them leave the barrier and caused no reason for any dragon to suspect her of doing anything wrong. Except maybe for Rhys. Well, what the Elders didn't know wouldn't harm them. She grinned at the thought.[/color]
