Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

"Yes, yes, you mentioned that already," Garrock responds as he follows after Skobeloff. Now that he's far enough away from the others, his anger seems to have quickly dissolved, giving way to exhaustion. It occurs to Skobeloff that, as a dragon nearing elder, Garrock would normally have had a nap at some point during the day, but given their current situation, he hasn't had the opportunity. It's also likely he's been pushing himself to keep up with the younger dragons, which hadn't helped his already obvious irritability and resentment towards them.

During the walk, his wings also relax slightly, allowing Skobeloff to catch a glimpse of the black specks on the membrane. At some point while the trickster was apart from the group, Garrock must have been injured. None of the drakes noticed, and Garrock has obviously been doing his best to hide and tend to the wound in secret. Bringing it up will probably lead to Garrock's defenses coming up again. The best thing Skobeloff can do at this moment is to try and start a casual conversation with the older dragon, allowing him to open up at his own pace and on his own terms.

During the argument, Alpin had sensed the growing tension among the younger drakes and had ended up edging closer and closer towards Kyte, who had remained silent the whole time. By the time Garrock had turned to leave, the brownie had clambered up onto Kyte's back, as if trying to hide behind the winged drake's wings and long neck.

Once Garrock had gotten out of earshot, Kyte glanced over at Shieldwing and gave a snort. "Who threw up in his nest this morning?" they joked, hoping to break the tense atmosphere. However, it was clear the Warrior was also not in the best of the moods, as he merely shook his head before following after Stargaze and Fellwing.

The three of them followed a slight distance from the black and white drake, and it was only when they heard Fellwing mentioning a crooked tree that Kyte attempted conversation again. "If you want, I could try and fly overhead," they said, spreading their wings out for emphasis. "Thanks to Stargaze, my wings feel stronger than ever. I could spot where we need to be heading from the air."

I will also be ready to move on once the corny conversation had died down.

How's everyone doin' this week?

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Yeah, now you guys have parted ways, feel free to have the conversations you want to have on the way to your destination and give me a head's up when you want to move on. I'll be controlling Shieldwing until I next hear from Digi.

Anyone have anything else they want to add?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

You didn't expect that the guy with a fairy tale backstory would have a Fairy Godmother?

@rush99999

Next you'll reveal to us that Brutrumukk isn't even a bugbear, but some prince enchanted to look like a bugbear.

Jub: If corals get stressed they die, so if I was coral I’d be dead.
Brutrumukk: What do corals have to be stressed about?
Zavakri: Current events.

Jub the Peculiar

Jub had to restrain himself from shouting again, and took a deep breath. Clearly, the significance of this revelation was lost on Brutrumukk, so he'd have to break it down for him. "You remember that Misters Witch and Light named Zybilna as the archfey they worship? The same that Kettlesteam worships? The same archfey that used to rule this place before the Coven took over?" He looked around at the rest of the table. "Does anyone else find this all a crazy coincidence or am I finally losing my mind right now!?"

After writing that post, I realised that, had anybody else claimed to have a magical fairy godmother, Jub would have been at least a little skeptical. But because it's Brutrumukk, Jub is like "Seems legit." Both because Brutrumukk doesn't seem like someone who would make up something that fantastical and because it perfectly explains how Brutrumukk has survived this long despite how reckless he is.
