Ace smiled lightly as he glanced about, wings tucked closely around his form as his tail wrapped around to once side, the little creature between his forelimbs yawning widely as she curled up snugly tight to the grey dragons chest.

With a light puff of breath he'd lower his own head and completely cover the hatchling from sight though without crushing her in the slightest. He'd take another look at the settling figures within the crevice and with a hefty sigh he'd allow his eye lids to slide shut, readily dozing off after his long journey. 

He'd await for the storm to end and night to pass before awaking, but for now he'd savor the ability to just relax and go limp.
