Trevor packed his bag in silence, listening to Noble and Duncan talk. They had a lot of work to do if they wanted to make this work. He groaned, already regretting his decision to go with the new king. At least there would be dwarven ale. When Gnol talked, his bag was packed with food and he swung it on his back.
"How about I smack him every time he doesn't act as a king should?" he offered. 
"You'd probably make a fine king yourself," the Hermit teased.
Trevor glared at the hermit. "Say that one more time and I will put a sword through your heart, old man. I am not affiliated with the royal family in any way nor do I wish to be. But I know how a good king should act." He turned to Noble. "As Duncan and Gnol pointed out, you may have been born in a royal family, but you have some things to learn. If you want to survive as a king you better listen."

"Of course," Meria said to rai and she walked to the lake. "Come here, let's get you to the ocean."
The small blue dragon swam to the shore and allowed Meria to pick her up from the water. [i]"We're going to the ocean!"[/i] she said to Terasivas.

Mikhal made sure to pack some supplies too and filled up his bowl for a quick second serving of the soup. It was a nice group they had, and they would go to the Dragon Sanctuary. He turned to look at the old dragon.
"I would love to hear your stories when we come back."
The Elder dragon looked at the young bard for a moment. "If I'm still around when you are back, I will talk with you," he promised.
"Thank you," Mikhal said with a small bow and turned to Trevor. "Have a safe journey, my friend."
"You too," Trevor said and he looked over his team. "The dragons and the sorcerer should make up for the lack of swords in your group. Stay out of fights you can't handle."
Mikhal nodded to that and turned back to the group he had joined.

"Good," Rachel said to Seb, before turning to Crreessa. "It will be nice having you. On the way we can help you become a better Rider too." She too filled her bag with supplies and waited for Fiona to finish eating. Her dragon had decided to fill up on the meat now, so they wouldn't need to hunt in the evening.
