(Might wanna be careful about trying to control the actions of the group as a whole and the passage of time Sezir. Such actions are usually reserved for the GM. Just a heads up) From the shadows Matiu and Thresher, having circled around the camp to get behind the newcomers, eyed Tali and Edan with a combination of curiosity and aggression; Curiosity being Mat's emotion, where as Thresher's was pure aggression towards the new dragon. There was a brief conversation between the Isle Virdis rider and his dragon, '[b]Strike to kill?[/b], '[i]No. For now we'll leave it at disarming them. They seem to be with us, but we can't be too sure.[/i]'. As Tali issued her threat the corners of Matiu's mouth curved upwards in a smirk, '[i]A threat for us eh? Thresher, it's time to go and say hi.[/i]', there was a soft growl from Thresher before the dragon bursted from his hiding spot and charged towards the two. While Thresher wasn't able to fly with his short wings, he was still far from helpless, when the dragon began to run after prey or begin his assault, nothing could ever hope to match his speed. Matiu leapt from his dragon and tackled Tali just as Thresher plowed into Edan with a vicious screeching sound, "You picked the wrong group to try and get the jump on." he hissed, reverting to his native tongue with the last word. The rider quickly slid his blade under Tali's throat, the razor sharp edge threatening to cut with the slightest motion, "Who are you? Were you the one that blew out our fire? Don't lie to me, or else kia tangohia e tohu i te atua." he warned. [translation: kia tangohia e tohu i te atua - May the gods take pity]
