He knew tensions were on the rise between several of the tribes, but he didn't want to entertain the idea that it could grow into something worse. [color=ed1c24][b]"What do you think Sunrise?"[/b][/color] he queried towards the smaller dragon, [color=ed1c24][b]"You're always reading all those scrolls."[/b][/color] He saw the glare Skua sent towards something out of his line of sight out of the corner of his eye, and felt a brief flash of concern for what might have drawn the other's ire. Sunrise shrugged slightly, [color=fff200][b]"Well there's never really been a time when everyone completely got along. There's always someone who is unhappy with the way things are and wants to change things "for the better," and ends up starting conflict."[/b][/color] As she talked, she reached a claw out and skewered one of the birds that Ash had in front of him. Eclipse sighed, seemed like nothing could ever be easy. [color=ed1c24][b]"Hopefully Queen Ember will have something good to say."[/b][/color] His eyes flicked back towards Skua at his growl, and he twisted his head slightly to see a NightWing quickly snapping their head away. He shifted subtly to position himself in between the nosy dragon and Skua, effectively blocking the NightWing's view. He knew how much Skua hated people staring at him, usually because of how he looked, given who his parents were. That didn't give them any right to gawk though. He wasn't wholly SkyWing, and people didn't stare at him any more than any other members of the royal family. [color=ed1c24][b]"I wouldn't worry too much,"[/b][/color] he flicked Skua lightly with his tail, both to grab his attention and as a friendly gesture, [color=ed1c24][b]"the Sky Kingdom has [i]excellent[/i] soldiers if something does happens."[/b][/color] He flashed a smile at the blue-scaled dragon; attempting to lighten the slightly tense and somber mood.
