[[Batty and Myself!]]

Rhys chuckled when Tale snorted in disgust. The white dragon was such a grouch sometimes. Scratch that. He was a grouch all the time.
"That is Thousand Tale - Tale for short." He pointed at the ice dragon."And that is-" Trix shot him a warning glare, reminding him not to use her full name "-Trix."

Erin chuckled. "Well I suppose you already know Kiera, and Cara." She gestured to the two dragons. Kiera was still eying up Tale, flapping her wings as a warning. "Lay off it you numpty." Erin said up to her, which Kiera snorted in annoyance.

Rhys smiled at Cara - the nice one - and bowed his head respectively to Kiera. He knew that any form of arrogance would only anger her, so he resigned himself to a servant position. "Well, you may or may not have heard of me. I'm being pursued by the King. Wanted dead or alive." He chuckled. "No one wants to come near that grouch though." He nodded at Tale.

Erin cocked her head curiously. "Really?" She sat down on a boulder. "Well...tell me more. I'm interested." She gave him a friendly smile.
Kiera smirked at him, she was glad he had finally given himself up to her. Hopefully it would last.

Rhys nodded as she sat down on a boulder. He wondered how close the scouts were, so he hopped on Trix just in case he needed to leave in a hurry. The cool scales beneath him soothed him, as his legs fell into place like normal.
"Well, they're scared of me and my dragons. Mostly Trix." Tale snorted, and Rhys laughed. "They think you're too small to do any damage, Tale."

Erin chuckled. "Well, she is rather tall." Kiera gave a snort behind her.
"I don't think so." She spat. "I don't know why anyone's scared of those things."

Trix shot Kiera a glare and snorted, smoke wisping from her nostrils. The black dragon was really starting to get on her nerves.
"Shut it, Acid-Face." She snapped back.
Rhys rolled his eyes. "So, are you with us or against us?"

Kiera responded with a toothy smirk, saying no more.
Erin considered. "I don't suppose I'd be doing any good being against you, would I? So I guess I'm with you."

Rhys grinned. "Smaart and pretty. Guess I've found a good partner." He winked and pulled out a folded map, then turned to ask her a question. "Are you familiar with this region and the lands surrounding it? Trix knows the waters fairly well, but I'm not sure if your dragons do..."

Erin giggled, much to Kiera's annoyance. She looked over at his map, and studied the place where he was pointing. "I think we've flown around there before. I mean, I never really took notice to where I was, but that peninsula there looks pretty familiar."

Rhys grinned, ignoring the dragon. "Good, that's where we're headed."

Erin pondered. "Why?" she asked. "I mean, I suppose it's out the way of the monarchs and all."

Rhys nodded his head. "Exactly. Besides, just over the mountain range is that kingdom of the elves. The King would never go there."

Morrigan frowned. "What would make you so sure? He's been over there before." She folded her arms, considering his plans.
