[i]"Sarge and Inirath always know how to make an entrance."[/i] Quincy thought, face twisting into a grimace as his superior was quick to get the mission underway. 

[b]"If no one has any last words...let's get in the air. Caerel doesn't have time to waste."[/b] He gave Alejandra a disagreeing look. "Really? Let's get in the air?" He mumbled as he looked about his dragon, half expecting her to sprout wings that very moment. "No respect I tells ya, no respect..." He mumbled some more, shaking his head. Allie looked at her rider quizzically. "Don't worry girl, I love you [i]juuuust[/i] the way you are." He cooed. That, and it seemed like [i]everyone[/i] some last words, as riders began introducing themselves one after the other. He had to assume it was for the girl with the frostbite dragon.

"Quincy Odell. Jamie, for short." He introduced himself as he approached her, Allie beginning to wrap her tail around his waist. "Caitra, right? Think I've seen you around Draketooth some days. Welcome to the "Save the World" club! Talk to Sarge when you get the chance, she'd want your size info for our club jackets." He joked in a plain tone. Before he could get another word in, Alejandra yanked him away from the group, eagerly racing back down the hill towards the beach. "Hey, you could've just said you were ready to go-!" He piped up, jiggling in her grasp. 

She didn't let go until the two re-entered the depths, much to Quincy's dismay. "Allie! Really?! Could've you at least [i]waited[/i] for me to take my shirt off?!" He complained, splashing about as he mounted her. "Ugh, now i'm gonna be all soggy." He continued, ungratefully. "C'mon, let's get a better line of sight. Don't want them all taking off without us knowing." He added. Allie complied, speedily swimming around to another point. As they moved, he gave thought to the idea of the ten hour travel time. 

"Geez, my [i]wrinkles[/i] are gonna have wrinkles." He thought aloud, scoffing along the way.
