[color=FADA5E]"If I had had my way, [i]whelp[/i], I would have come here by myself to sort out this mess,"[/color] the bearded dragon said, his tone implying it was taking all his restraint to keep himself from shouting. [color=FADA5E]"Or at very least with an older, more experienced clutch. Thanks to current events and the [i]wisdom[/i] of our omniscient council, however, I am forced to play chaperone to a bunch of flightless, senseless rawscales who spend more time conversing with elementals and fairies than actually doing their job."[/color] His tail started to lash about in irritation, uprooting several small plants and sending a few pebbles flying into the water. However, after a moment, his tail stilled and he rose to his full height, taking a moment to collect himself before continuing. [color=FADA5E]"And need I remind you, [i]Kebros[/i], as your chaperone, I will be reporting to your sponsor and all the council about your work here. So I'd cut the backchat if I were you, unless you want a particularly scathing review from here on out."[/color]
