Matiu glared down at his captor as he impatiently waited for a response, "Well? Do you intent to answer me or n-", the words died in his throat as he got a better look at the person pinned beneath him. Of all the people he'd managed to get the drop on, it was a teacher from the academy! "Ah...whakarerea noatia iho ahau" Matiu muttered in shocked apology, slipping back into his native tongue briefly as he removed the blade and got off of Tali. Despite his rider's behavior Thresher was less willing to release his quarry; the smaller dragon had pinned Edan down with his teeth lightly clasped on the Edan's shoulder, just waiting to break the skin and deliver a fatal dose of venom, '[i]They're with us Thresh. Tuku atu ia ia[/i]' Mat's voice rang out into his dragon's head. Thresher let out a deep hiss and let go of Edan, '[b]Ko ia te tino waimarie.[/b]' he muttered in response to hearing the Virdisian language.

With Thresher called off, Matiu helped Talisman up, then went from apologetic to aggravated within seconds, "Just what were you doing skulking around out here? I almost beheaded you! And lord only knows what [u]he[/u] was about to do to your dragon!" he snapped to the teacher. 

(Translation time once more kiddies~ whakarerea noatia iho ahau: Forgive me. Tuku atu ia ia: Release him. Ko ia te tino waimarie: He got very lucky.)
