Eclipse grinned, [color=ed1c24][b]"I know I can always count on you to protect me from her rather small wrath."[/b][/color] He easily walked his way through the throng of other dragons getting food and chatting with each other, most people tended to get out of his way if they knew who he was. To be honest he kind of wished that they wouldn't act so impressed, it's not like he could take the throne anyway, but at least he didn't have to push and shove. He noticed some of the dragons paying them some extra attention and Skua promptly holding his head higher. He sent a quick glare in the direction of the curious ones who quickly averted their gazes. After he was satisfied they were no longer staring he briefly tuned into the conversation that Sunrise and Ash were having. She was prattling on about one of the scrolls that she had read recently; while Ash nodded sagely next to her despite looking like he was half-asleep. 

He smiled fondly at them before looking back at Skua, [color=ed1c24][b]"Well it's not like they have much else to do these days,"[/b][/color] he dodged to the side out of the way of a rather massive MudWing that wasn't paying much attention and shook his head slightly, [color=ed1c24][b]"sometimes they actually have some pretty good stories to tell."[/b][/color] He remembered when he was younger and got tired of working with his father; he would slip away to the barracks and listen to the older soldiers tell heavily exaggerated battle stories. Eventually his father would hunt him down, but he could usually convince him to stay and tell his own tales to avoid any more battle training. 

He chuckled, [color=ed1c24][b]"We better find something quick then,"[/b][/color] he stretched his head up and found a stall with fewer dragons around it and many different kinds of roasted meats, [color=ed1c24][b]"Can't have one of my best friends dying from lack of fun."[/b][/color] He bounded towards the stall and examined the various kinds of meats they had: pig, rabbits, birds, and pretty much anything else a dragon could want. He selected a massive boar that was big enough for at least two of them, and then stood to the side so the others could get what they wanted. His mouth was already watering at the smell of the meat, so he quickly found an out of the way place for them to eat.

[color=ed1c24][b]"Is there any news going around?"[/b][/color] he asked seriously, [color=ed1c24][b]"I haven't had the chance to talk with any of the soldiers or scribes recently."[/b][/color] He sunk his teeth into the roasted meat and watched as Ash and Sunrise both made their way over to join them.
