Ace listened quietly, Rala's comments of safety in numbers causing him to glance over his shoulder for a moment. A gentle puff of air emitting from those large nostrils as he nudged the young one he carried, continuing to eaves drop on the conversation around him. At the sudden shock of bright light he jumped slightly, a hiss emerging his lips before spotting the larger golden male healing the smallest dark dragoness, the conversations continued and at the mention of humans he'd tense, neck arching as he shook it roughly. "We will join you," A low voice would emerge as he nodded towards Rala at the mention of a safe spot away from the hunters and the threatening weather. As he began to emerge from the tree line once more the little pale creature upon his back lightly grumbled growls as she return to gnawing on his spines once more. Ace merely rolled his eyes at this point and glanced a thankful nod and partial smile at the female as he waited.
