There was a long pause at Fellwing's question, as several dragons in the party suddenly seemed to stop whatever they were doing to look in the black drake's direction. It wasn't quite the same silence that would have occurred had someone brought up, say, Yeraktos, or some similar event that happened during the Age of Darkness. Even several generations later, with no dragons alive to remember those days, the wounds from that time felt fresh in the memory of dragonkind. But this... this was a much older scar, one that had faded enough that most had forgotten it was still there. 

[color=e03fd8]"Well, that was a long time ago,"[/color] Vipereyes said. She didn't sound angry or upset, only slightly puzzled that the conversation had taken this particular shift. [color=e03fd8]"You have to understand that that was before the Darkness, before the Houses even. Dragon society was practically in its infancy, and we didn't understand a lot of the things we do now. In fact, it's down to things like the extinction of the unicorns that the Houses and the Council were founded in the first place: to prevent things like that from occurring again.[/color] She squinted over at Fellwing, regarding her with a wary curiosity. [color=e03fd8]"You're from House Kebros, correct? I'd assumed your elders would instill in you the value of mistakes, and how we can only grow by making them."[/color] Unlike many comments the Seer might have heard about her House, there didn't seem to be any malice in what Vipereyes was saying. She sounded more confused by the idea of a dragon from the House of Ruby being opposed to her values.
