[color=C0C0C0]The pair had slipped away from the main hustle and bustle of the market street and onto more quiet roads. Bluemoon was pleased to see that she could finally stretch her wings without worrying about bumping into anyone or keeping an eye out for any stray stingers. There, the dragons of the Scorpion’s Den milled around aimlessly, taking in the sights of the night sky or eating smoked meats from the nearby stalls. Some Sandwing soldiers rested near an open window, and a MudWing had stuck their head out from inside of the clay home to converse with them. A small RainWing was curled against the cool stone of a storefront, snoring gently in the moonlight. Bluemoon felt the corners of her lips pull upwards. Though these dragons were somewhat unfortunate when it came to money, they all seemed at peace. 

Hemlock’s question made her perk up slightly before she turned around to face him completely. Though her words were calm, a shadow had fallen over her azure gaze, as if she were silently warning Hemlock about one thing or another.

[color=2B547E][b]”That includes the Scorpion’s Den, the SandWing castle, and the entirety of the desert.”[/b][/color]

She flicked her tail dismissively. The SandWing soldiers had turned their ebony gazes towards them in disdain. Well, guess it was time to move on again. Bluemoon offered them a small smile before she padded deeper into the quieter parts of the city where houses were clustered together and windows were completely dark. Her claws scraped quietly against the cobblestone of the pathways as the cool desert wind brushed against her spines. When she was sure that they were alone, she leaned in to whisper into his ear. 

[color=2B547E][b]”Hemlock, you shouldn’t ask things like that about Queen Gila around these parts. I know you’re new to Pyrrhia, but I don’t know if the SandWing soldiers would appreciate a stranger asking so many questions about their queen.”[/b][/color][/color]
