Eclipse honestly wasn't entirely sure why he'd grown to trust Dreamseeker so quickly. He just couldn't look at her and see someone who could possibly have anything to do with what happened to Ember. He frowned slightly at Skua's words, [color=ed1c24][b]"She's the only reason we can make this journey in the first place. If she hadn't been around it probably would've taken us months to figure out where the poison came from, and by then it might've been too late."[/b][/color] He rolled his eyes at the exaggerated NightWing name, [color=ed1c24][b]"Well you could just ask her. Besides she isn't exactly a very good liar. I learned that when we first met, so unless she's a great actress I don't think she had anything to do with it."[/b][/color]

He flinched when he saw that Dreamseeker had heard some of the conversation, and gave her an apologetic look as she curled herself into a tight ball slightly away from them. He gave a sigh, he'd probably have to talk with her in the morning to make sure she didn't take what Skua said to heart. He really was a good friend when you got past the sharp exterior, and he knew he was just trying to be careful with an unfamiliar dragon. It was in his nature to protect people, that's what made him so good at his job, but it also made him rather paranoid about things he didn't know anything about.

Despite his mild annoyance, he still gave his friend a smile, [color=ed1c24][b]"I know,"[/b][/color] he said quietly; reaching his neck forward to bump his head against Skua's, [color=ed1c24][b]"You're a good friend. My aunt's death would be dragging me down a lot more without you around."[/b][/color] He could continually feel the worried and uncertain thoughts creeping around the edge's of his mind, but having his friend, and hopefully a new one, nearby was enough to keep them at bay.

He glanced towards where Dreamseeker laid curled in the sand before looking back to Skua, [color=ed1c24][b]"I don't want you to get hurt either, so we both need to be careful."[/b][/color] He knew his parents would be devastated if something happened to him, and despite never meeting Skua's he had a feeling the same could be said for his family.
