He'd lived his whole life in the desert and while he was excited to see something new, he felt faintly like he was abandoning his home in the midst of a looming war. He didn't even understand Drought's reasoning for him going. She could've picked any of the guards from the holding cells to escort this RainWing and he could've stayed. If they were lucky they'd be done with this quickly, he could leave RainWing in her home, and go back to the Den. Maybe he'd quit being a guard and do something else more fun. He liked the idea of that. As they settled down into the clearing he had to pull one of his feet out of the thick mud with a loud sucking sound. He shook his claws and scowled at the ground like it had personally insulted him, which it essentially had. He hated the humidity and constant unfamiliar noises. Moons he missed the soft shifting sands and wide open skies of the desert. He kept the chain of the RainWing's shackles looped tightly around his leg and held around his wrist with a leather band, just in case she got any ideas in the night. He watched Eclipse and Skua across the fire, the latter seemed twitchy and nervous, looking towards any sound that came from the trees around them. He curled his tail around and watched the fire reflect off the needle sharp point. He didn't think any creature would be stupid enough to attack five dragons, but if it was they'd make short work of it. As Dreamseeker came back he was struck by the compassion she showed the RainWing. A dragon she didn't even know and had no personal connection to, yet she was going out of her way to find something for their prisoner to eat. He shook his head slightly baffled as she slipped back into the forest, her dark scales well hidden. After finding a boar and whatever else she'd brought back she still wanted to help. It was more than most of the SandWings he knew ever did. He was just as confused as Skua about this unusual dragon.

Aren't they supposed to be super arrogant and condescending?"[/b][/color]
