Fogdance looks momentarily startled when Skobeloff gets up and starts talking, but Tamba is quick to calm her. [color=77DD77]"It's alright, he's fine,"[/color] the green drake says, patting the older dragon's leg with her wing. [color=77DD77]"No one is hurt, and that's all that matters for now."[/color]

[color=silver]"I... see,"[/color] Fogdance says. She squints at Skobeloff, likely trying to place the trickster in her memories. Clearly, she recognises something familiar about him, but after a moment when the memories refuse to come to her, she simply shakes her head. [color=silver]"I suppose we should all go downstairs then, to the kitchen. You can all fill me in and we can discuss our next move."[/color] She grimaces. [color=silver]"If the others are still missing, we probably should do something."[/color] She pauses again, another look of straining to remember on her face, before she shakes her head and begins exiting the room. Tamba and Pleexem start to follow behind her.

Echo winces slightly. "I've... been better," she says. "You may have noticed that the island is a little different from how you remember it. As an elemental, I am tied to this island, particularly to this swamp. The Darkness has found its way into the hearts of many inhabitants, and I've been using my magic to keep it from seeping into the very earth itself." She glances behind her to the mouth of the cave, where Fellwing would recall from her visions she saw an injured drake resting a little further in the cavern. "Among other things." Her eyes linger on the cave before she turns back to the group. "With so much energy going to keeping the Darkness at bay, maintaining my physical form like this a little trickier than usual."
