Draco had always been the more cool headed and flexible of the team back in the day and that was still true now; His eyes stopped glowing red with a small sigh as he let his old friend and teammate stand up for himself against the overgrown flying rat while he dealt with the small Firefox; The kid honestly sounded slightly deranged and a cooler, more friendly approach sounded like it was needed. Taking a step closer to the volpix, Draco offered the little one a smile but friendly smile. "Okay, I'm getting the impression that you believe that he-" a paw was pointed towards the water horse explorer in question "Has wronged you someway. Would you mind telling me what exactly he did? If an Explorer has wronged you then you have a right to be heard out and I'm willing to listen." Belgond looked somewhat torn between heading off with Gale and sticking around to see how things turned out; He hadn't got to see his Dad ger serious like this in ages; It would be a good lesson for how to handle situations that might arise. The conflict came to a close however when Gale called the whole 'birthday lunch' stupid. For a moment, Belgond's ears whilted as her words cut deep and quite visibly wounded him. The sadness in his eyes was quickly replaced by anger as he turned around and planted himself on the ground, not looking at Gale as he said [color=00a651]If you want to go, then go. I don't know why you think that being good and happy is a bad thing, but you do not get to call me or my father stupid because you want to be 'cool'.[/color]" The word 'cool' came out as a growl; A foul word that tasted foul to him.
