[color=ED2939]"Ah, it's nothing. You did a good thing, that's all."[/color] Shieldwing whispered back toward Stargaze, subtly nudging her shoulder with his wing. He then perked his head upward a bit, suddenly a little bit more nervous as the subject of the conversation seemed to turn back to those who may be concerned about the creeping Darkness once again.

[color=ED2939]"Hah, what kind of Brynback would I be if I let myself get corrupted that easily?"[/color] Shieldwing answered aloud, holding his head high. [i]'Especially when I didn't even really do anything....'[/i] he couldn't keep the thought out of his head before continuing. "Yeah, no symptoms on my end. But if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go with them and check up on Coryn too."[/color]

Shieldwing turned to walk away quickly before anybody could potentially interject or stop him or anything. But he paused as a thought jumped to his heade.

[color=ED2939]"Fell, do you want to come with us?"[/color] he asked, turning to look toward their black-scaled clutchmate. "Or would you rather-"[/color] He then glanced toward Garrock, hoping the older dragon wasn't going looking in his direction before he gestured at him. [color=ED2939]"Stay here and keep up with the...[i]situation[/i]?"[/color] He would then point his claw back toward where Rudrick had gone, and then gestured again toward Garrock. He hoped that those not of his own clutch would think he was simply referring to the injured and corrupted dragons. But with his gesturing, he hoped to convey to his clutchmates about the strange goings-on between Rudrick and Garrock. If they could assist Rudrick with whatever he was trying to do with his brother, perhaps it could make things easier on both of them.

Though it rarely came up, he himself felt particularly sensitive to familial squabbles; he didn't really even know if he had one, and it seemed like such a waste for them to have some invisible force getting between them. And if anybody of their clutch could learn or convince Garrock to come forward with anything, it was probably Fellwing. Skobeloff as well, but with any luck, Skobeloff was going to be focusing on the Rudrick side of things. At least, if he was reading his green clutchmate well enough, anyway. Though he knew he couldn't be too confident in that; Skobeloff was always a hard one to read. And he suspected that was largely because it was how he wanted it to be.

And if those two were going to focus their efforts on that, then that just left him and Stargaze to check up on Coryn for now.

That said, he wasn't going to force her to do anything, even if she understood. If she turned out to be just as worried about Coryn and Rudrick as they were, then he wasn't about to stand in her way. Either way, he would wait for her response before nodding, accepting it, and then turning to leave behind the Skobeloff with Stargaze at his side.
