Angel
’I’m just trying to protect what’s mine! What, I’ve been gathering all sorts of information from everything and everyone around me. I’m a dragon for sakes, and doesn’t that go the same for this foal? He’s been here way longer than I have, shouldn’t he know better?’
Angel sighed awkwardly as his attempt at gentle scolding completely backfired. He hadn't meant to take sides. He'd honestly been trying to avoid conflict, but instead had seemed to feed the fire.
C'mon baby, don't be like that. I know he should know better but all I was trying to say is you don't need to lash back at people...
Angel broke off as Reechi nipped at his hand. The swirls of feelings he was getting was breaking his heart, but at the same time his immature nature shone through. He didn't understand why Reeps was overreacting. He didn't understand why he himself was overreacting. This didn't need to be a fight or disagreement- but he was a guy and the beautiful girl had taken priority over his second half for just a moment and now his other half was angry with him.
Reechi suddenly disappeared off his shoulder. Angel felt like he was going to cry for a minute. She was seriously going to run off? He had tried to make things better; he was still radiating love to her, though it was masked by hurt now.
He wanted to go after her, but at the same time, he wanted to give the dragon time to mull over what had just happened. He would probably leave the dinner early to go find her.
This was like one of the many times he'd made various girlfriends or boyfriends upset. They always needed time to cool down after a fight, then Angel would call in the morning or for dinner and they would work it out. it was like that. That was how he would look at it.
So Angel, instead of going after his darling, bowed to Trista and gave her a cheesy line.
She let out some some cute giggles, which Angel took as acceptance. Saga went off after BlueJay and Reeps, so he looked to the girl. He didn't want to do this, especially after she'd so cutely responded to his invitation to be his date, but....
Angel cleared his throat slightly, and used his free hand to awkwardly push his hair back.
"Not that you're really in the wrong, but i'd really appreciate if you didn't, er, tell Reechi off like that. I know she's a little spontaneous and hyper and everything.... but I'd really like for her to learn how the world works on her own or through me at first. I don't like her being involved in conflicts even if its partially my fault."
He smiled brightly down at her, using her hand on his elbow to begin to guide her down the hall towards the dining hall.
"Now that that's over though, I hope we can have a fun night princess."
