When Garrock ordered him to lead the way to the stronghold, Skobeloff hesitated. As much as he wanted to get some one on one time with the bearded dragon, the Darkness had just found purchase in Fellwing again. Skobeloff didn't enjoy allowing darkness to fester within his friends. But at the same time, Garrock probably wouldn't like to be kept waiting and Fellwing herself probably wasn't in the mood to even speak with him, let alone let him convince her to focus on expunging the Shadow within her while he was the target of her anger.

Fortunately, an opportunity presented itself when Garrock stopped to have the last word in his argument with Fellwing. While that was happening, Skobeloff snuck over to Stargaze. [color=00746b]"The Darkness just got through Fellwing's defences again."[/color] Skobeloff whispered to Stargaze. [color=00746b]"That should probably be taken care of before you tangle with whatever is lurking in that lair."[/color] It was at that point that Garrock wrapped up his parting words and began to move. [color=00746b]"Good luck out there."[/color] Skobeloff said to his clutchmates. [color=00746b]"See you soon."[/color]

With that said, Skobeloff ran to catch up to and pass by Garrock to lead him to the stronghold. Despite his unease at leaving his clutch with one clutchmate dipping a toe into the Dark, Skobeloff had an obligation to fulfil. So he did his best to console himself with a belief that he wouldn't be away from the others for too long and that he'd be able to fix anything he'd actually be needed for upon his return.
