At Skobeloff's comment, Rudrick ducked his head slightly as if in embarrassment. "Is it, err, that obvious?" he said with a small laugh. He starts walking down the corridor, keeping his movements slow so the drakes can keep up with him. "Yes, I haven't really had the opportunity to speak with Garrock in quite some time. I've been trying to meet with him for a while, in fact, but he always seems to be otherwise occupied. I thought now would be a good time to try and clear the air as it were but, err..." He hesitates, and for a moment his cheerful demeanor falters. "I suppose he has just gotten back from a mission, and is probably very exhausted." There is a small strain in his voice as he speaks, betraying the slightest hint of frustration towards his sibling. However, he quickly tries to cover it up with a laugh. "Well, it's fine. I'm sure we'll get a chance to talk properly before he leaves."
