The twins nod, though once again with hesitation of Pleexem's part. He keeps glancing at Tamba as if expecting her to object. When she doesn't, he simply gives a small sigh of resignation as he watches Skobeloff put his plan into motion. Once the trickster is in place and starting to put on his act, both siblings start shouting, Tamba calling out for Fogdance by name while Pleexem gives wordless yelps and gasps of horror. 

It doesn't take long before they hear Fogdance's steps stomping towards the room and she flings open the door. "What? What happened?" she shouts, her eyes darting between the twins and the fallen Skobeloff. 

[color=C8A2C8]"I... I don't..."[/color] Pleexem stammers before he starts hyperventilating, causing Tamba to cut in.

[color=77DD77]"We just woke up to this!"[/color] The green drake motions towards Skobeloff. [color=77DD77]"I think he's poisoned!"[/color]

Upon hearing this, Fogdance is immediately fussing over the trickster, cradling his form in her claws as she calls out his name. After only getting choking noises as response, her eyes start welling up. [color=silver]"This... this can't be..."[/color] she says. [color=silver]"I..." [/color]She looks between him and the seemingly regurgitated porridge on the floor. [color=silver]"This wasn't supposed to happen. I read Vipereyes' notes, I thought-"[/color]

[color=77DD77]"What did you do?"[/color] Tamba interrupts, shouting at the older dragon. [color=77DD77]"What did you do!?"[/color]

[color=silver]"I didn't..."[/color] Tears start falling down Fogdance's cheeks. [color=silver]"I didn't mean..."[/color] The older dragon buries her face into Skobeloff and starts weeping. Between her sobs, Skobeloff hears the dragon muttering the words, [color=silver]"No... not again... my poor, poor child... I'm so sorry, I failed you again..[/color]." Once again, Skobeloff gets the strong sense that she's not seeing him as he is, but as someone else, someone she has failed to care for and protect. 

As she speaks, one vaguely sees a faint shimmering on her scales as they lighten slightly to a paler, brighter shade of grey as her realization of what she has done starts to sink in and the darkness slowly loosens its grip on her. The sobbing stops as Fogdance's lifts her head and looks down at Skobeloff in her arms. Confusion fills the dragon's eyes as she seems to finally perceive Skobeloff for what he truly is. She lets go off him, taking a few steps back and looking between him and the twins. [color=silver]"Tamba? Pleexem? What is, what is going on? What was I...?"[/color] Her voice trails off as she becomes at a loss for words.
