She bit her lip, shuffling her wings impatiently as the red drake went through introductions. The Seer understood Echo was not in the best of shapes to talk, but that was precisely [i]why [/i]it was important they skipped pleasantries and cut straight to the chase. [i]Lives [/i]were at stake! Surely names could wait. Even the bubble ride deeper into the cave, something the black drake would have rejoiced over in any other circumstance, felt excruciatingly slow now. Breathtaking, educational - but slow. And, after Stargaze's comment regarding its current state, also somewhat morbid. Fellwing decided she preferred the vast open skies to the suffocating world underwater. Reflexively, Fellwing gasped as the bubble brought them back to the surface. Her first few steps on solid ground were shaky, and the orange drake in her vision seemed to wobble. Moons, where was her balance. She was still readjusting to her surroundings when Stargaze and Shieldwing recognized the injured drake - and the latter picked a fight. Because of course he did. [color=#595555]"[i]Shieldwing[/i], this is not the time or place!"[/color] Fellwing walked next to Stargaze, pressing into her side to drape a wing over her as if to comfort her clearly scared friend, then turned back to... Kyte, was it? [color=#595555]"I do second my clutchmate's question, however. We're trying to figure out what happened here, as well as how to make things right again. Anything you - anything anyone here can tell us would be much appreciated."[/color] [/color]
