Duncan listened to the Hermit and he thought. Were they suppose to find them, more then one as he had thought, an ask it or did he know where one or more were. He noticed Trevor examining some of them and he sat up more straight. Could it be one of them?
Duncan wanted a bowl of soup and he smiled gratefully at Meria for handing out soup. "Thank you." he said. Duncan looked pensive at Noble. He had stated his quest to Noble before but Noble never claimed to be the heir which could have been for reasons to conceal it or Noble wasn't their heir or he didn't know. He didn't know the other two at all. Duncan blew on the soup before eating it. "Very well, I'll follow whatever the children of the Old King decide if we should meet them. Until then I'll do what I think is in the best interest for the Kingdom."

Creessa huffed. She was definitely not going to change her plans and she didn't care who decided what. Her mind was made up. She silently ate some more meat. RedClaws sensed the sentiments of his rider and agreed. In his opinion they had their chance now Crreessa and him were going to do what they thought best. 

Gnol looked at Aero. "I'm sure Aero is very fast but I need to check there anyway so I can take any messages if they aren't coming personally. I would prefer some company of course having only a horse to talk to gets boring after a while and everyone knows horses can't talk. Besides sending just a message would perhaps not persuade any Dwarves in possible alliances. One of the reasons I was here was to gather some information about the current state of affairs." He glanced towards Alan. "Anyone is free to come along, although I'm sure Pointy Ears and mrs Water have better things to then tag along with a humble me."

Alan was looking around to see who the hermit had called when heard Gnol talking. He blushed a bit and his hand went to his perfectly round very human like ear. He sighed, it was obvious this Dwarf had a dislikes for Elves and it stung a little that because of his father blood some people instantly disliked him, even if he was only half-Elf.

The shapeshifter pair looked quietly at each other for a second. It was a chance it would not be received as good news. 
"That depends on what news the last messenger brought." growled Theo. Thea smacked her brother with her tail on its snout. 
"General Doruk, the red dragon that lost its rider has been spotted rampranging in the mountains. 
There have been sightings of other dragons too and possible riders. 
In the forest near the mountains the scent of one of the offspring of the killed king has been picked up near Trevors cabin. 
I asume you already heard Trevor decline the offer. 
A group of thugs were kind enough to share what happend to them in the forest when they tried to mug a group. They had breathed in some sort of soft glittery steam or a jet of silver dust emitted by a dragon with a rider and fell asleep because of it. 
The dragon egg that a man took was trailed to the mountains too but the trail went cold there. We asume it took off with dragons there, there was a cave with a strong human and dragon scent in the mountains."
Thea ended her report and watched to see how the general would take it and hat their orders would be.
