Alex almost immediately asked Rurik to accompany Verin. He'd also asked Chloe, but the important part was that he'd get to see the Wyvern for sure now. He quickly saluted in response,

"All right! Leave it to m-" Wait, wait, he'd been scolded about this before. "Err, us. Leave this to us!" He was working with other people, and he'd probably have to let them help. "And he said drive off, not kill!" he corrected Chloe. "We don't have to kill it just because Verin decided to attack it!" He may or may not have taken a shot at Verin with his words there, but seriously, some people just had no manners when it came to dealing with predators! Well, he supposed it was good they were all going to together. Now Rurik could show them how dealing with such a dangerous creature was done... not that Rurik had ever seen a wyvern before, but in theory it was just another, much larger and stronger, predator, right?

What was the worst that could happen?

"I, uh, we just have to prove that it's too dangerous to hunt here and it will leave! At heart, it's still just an animal and can't afford injuries that will stop it from hunting and eating!" Rurik explained. "So, lead the way, where did you last see it?" he asked Verin. He might not have had the borderline bloodthirsty exuberance that Chloe had, but he was still very eager to find the beast.
