[color=ED2939]"Hm...."[/color] came Shieldwing's response to Kyte's words. He looked like he was about to add something when Fellwing spoke up again. [color=ED2939]"Huh...?"[/color] he murmured, glancing back at Fellwing, and he couldn't help but frown slightly from her words...but more her tone. [color=ED2939]"H-hey, what're you...? I-I'm not doing anything, I'm just-!"[/color] However, before he could begin to defend himself, there was sudden movement from behind them! Shieldwing's guard was immediately and instinctively raised and he jumped defensively closer to his clutchmates! He was put even more on edge when he realized...that this wasn't some intruder bursting their way into Echo's cave...but a cloud of...multi-colored...sand...?

What in the moons kind of creatures was [i]this[/i]!? Was this just another natural part of the islands? However, as he stood defensively, ready for whatever challenge this strange rainbow sand was going to offer, the sand landed on the ground in front of them in a heap. And a moment later, it reformed...into a very familiar face. At first, Shieldwing's face exuded signs of relief and gratitude to see his missing clutchmate back once more! However...he couldn't help but scowl slightly as Skobellof made his entrance with a boast and, in the verdant dragon's words "triumph" and "excitement." 

Finally, Shieldwing had just about had it. He stepped forward, opening his mouth to say something about just how he felt about how reckless the other dragon had been. Now that Garrock wasn't around, this was his chance to finally tell his clutchmate just exactly how he truly felt about what had happened. 

However, just as he did so, Skobellof mentioned something that caught him by surprise.

[color=ED2939]"L-look, just forget about Kyte for a second,"[/color] Shieldwing said, stepping forward again. [color=ED2939]"He's hurt and we need to make sure he doesn't get worse. We'll take care of that and help him in a bit. And I've got some words for you, but that'll wait too. First, what do you mean? Why is it a big deal if we leave Garrock alone? Of course we did, he couldn't fit in here. But it's fine. He's easily bigger and stronger than all of us combined and can take care of himself. Plus, he's sick of babysitting us anyway-"[/color] Shieldwing rolled his eyes at that. [color=ED2939]"-so he wanted the break anyway. What's the problem?"[/color]
