The duo continues to watch their quarrels unaware that there is a dragon missing from the bunch. So intent on watching that the rider doesn't notice the curious dragon approaching them. The dragon however notices both the scent of a dragon and sound of crunching leaves and twigs under heavy feet, though doesn't seem to care. When the curious lad pokes his head up beside the pair, the dragon ever so slightly tilts his head to look at the newcomer, letting out a muffled raspy chirp of joy to have a new friend. Nodding his head to the group and squinting to show what was going on.

It was when his mount started shifting that the rider noticed the new dragon. In a quick spasm and a startled curse he scrambled up and started to shove the nose of the new dragon and quietly, but angrily whispered, "No! no! Shoo! Go away! We're trying to be sneaky! Shoo! Scram!"

At this point his dragon stuck out his tongue and with another playful chirp he licked up at the rider, licking his broadside in a surprise attack causing another muffled outburst, "Stop it you traitorous newt!" Fighting back against the next pair of licks while still trying to shove the other dragon away... losing both fights.
