He looked more defeated than before and she felt a stab of sympathy for him. If only there was something she could do for him other than kind words and bandages. She never wanted any of the dragons in her tribe, or those she considered friends, to be hurting in any way. Not being able to do anything about it only made it that much worse. Her head swiveled towards Jaguar as she spoke and her scales brightened just a bit. [color=f49ac2][b]"I can do that! I work with Queen Ardent enough that I think she would at least listen to what they have to say if I'm there."[/b][/color] She might not believe a bunch of outsiders, but her own tribe should grab her attention easily enough. She blinked in surprise at Dreamseeker's words. [color=f49ac2][b][b]"You think you could do that? Protect us I mean."[/b][/b][/color] [color=ed1c24][b]"I think we'd have a pretty good chance. If not immediately, once we figure out who is responsible we can make sure that they leave the RainWings out of all this."[/b][/color] Eclipse said with a fair amount of confidence to her ears as he stepped away from Dreamseeker and dropped back to the ground next to her and Jaguar. [color=ed1c24][b]"I think it's a good idea. If we have someone who is familiar with the innerworkings of the tribe then we already stand a better chance than we did before. We don't know any of the customs beyond what Jaguar has told us so any help would be appreciated."[/b][/color] He bowed his head a bit towards her and she perked up a bit more. Aardwolf nodded in agreement.[color=f7941d][b] "I don't know what kind of protection we could promise, but it's a sound a plan as any. It might also do us some good to try and get Lemur to come with us to see Queen Ardent. He may not listen to our requests, but I imagine he'd be hard pressed to ignore a command from his queen."[/b][/color] Wow, these guys were a lot better at planning and getting their ideas out there. She didn't think she'd be confident enough to do something like that. [color=f49ac2][b]"You guys are meeting with her tomorrow morning right?"[/b][/color]
