Snippet #1795785

When Drogyn saw the female rider string a bow, he reached back to grab a hold of Eden's handle. At this distance, he could probably block an arrow without resorting to magic. Assuming that the arrow was even meant for him. When he saw the woman relax the bow however, he slowly let his hand drift away from Eden. He couldn't truly blame her, he'd have the exact same reaction. Then he felt Alatheus tense beneath him.

'There are manacles on the green one...' Alatheus said to Drogyn. At this point Drogyn brought one of his hands down to Alatheus' scales, trying to comfort him.

"It's all right, calm down before we get in trouble." though his words may have been harsh, they were delivered with a gentle tone. Drogyn understood his brother's anger, Hunters were as disgusting to him as the Fallen Ones were. Although it was slightly unfair to simply assume that Hunters were the cause, speaking honestly, there were few other possibilities. Drogyn then raised his head to address the others. It was then that the red dragon addressed them instead. After hearing the green one's reply, Drogyn suddenly felt very annoyed.

"Hmm, how embarrassing." Drogyn quietly said, massaging his temples as he felt his headache was about to get a lot worse.

'Greetings Skyflyers! My brother and I offer our apologies. We saw the green one rising from the forest below, and not knowing his intentions, we flew over in case things became violent.' Alatheus announced to the others, managing to be surprisingly well-mannered. Meanwhile, Drogyn was trying his hardest to ignore the green dragon that was now circling them. But he could feel his paranoia urging him to keep a closer watch on the dragon. He disliked the idea that the dragon could attack from a blindspot while circling them if they weren't careful enough. The urge to reach for Eden's handle was almost overpowering, but he gripped his legs harder resisting it, determined to not escalate this already precarious situation to violence.

"It truly was mostly my own paranoia that caused this. I apologize." Drogyn said, bowing his head, despite the warning signals from making his field of vision so much smaller. He could feel his honor taking blow after blow from his repeated distrust, but he was too careful a person to allow anything else. He then raised his head to continue, "My name is Drogyn, and my brother's Alatheus. It is an honor to meet not only two mighty dragons, but a rider as well." a tiny bit of flattery would probably be useful in a situation like this. Plus, Drogyn was the one who really started this possibly problematic situation, so he felt slightly indebted to these people. Slightly.
