Inadi watched as the dragons continued to cause havoc to the group and felt a great collection of nerves begin to well up in his chest. While he wanted to just forget his idea of spearing the non poofy dragon in one of the wounds Jasper had opened up and shock the thing internally, he knew that he had to get something done to try and settle the thing down and make it stop all the thrashing. As he was getting closer to the beast he noticed that both Riley and Jasper had gotten near him at some point. And now all of a sudden he noticed that Riley began charging after one of the dragon's and seemed to think that jumping on the tail was a good idea. Inadi dropped his spear to his side and let out a sigh. As much fun as it sounded riding a dragon was, this was a bad time to live out childhood fantasies.

“Honestly, this whole gung-ho thing is just causing more trouBLE!” Inadi said to himself as he felt a sudden lurch in his body as Jasper began pulling him towards the scene that Riley had gotten herself into. He was getting pulled in so many different directions it was starting to make him as sick as he bet the rest of the group that had jumped onto the dragon felt as well. It was actually quite surprising just how nimble and fast the healer was as she tried to figure out exactly where to go to collect the red head on the tail in front of them.

At this point it seemed that Riley was going to let go of her grip on the beast at any second and Inadi tried his best to guess where they needed to be to catch her at least. Suddenly the girl started flying out towards them and at first Inadi wanted to reach out for her but realized one hand was still being held by Jasper and the other was holding his spear. Inadi noticed that Jasper had caught Riley's shirt and decided it would be best if he tried to cushion the fall and positioned himself to catch the two with his body. Turned out to be a big mistake.

As they all landed, the first thing that hit was Riley. The fire mage landed shoulder first on Inadi's chest and rolled over a bit to the point where her opposite elbow knocked him in the chin. While the pain in his chest and face was evident, the next sting came and made everything else very minimal. Jasper seemed to find a way to have her head rest on Riley's chest when they first landed and her hip found itself resting on Inadi's pelvis.....a very low part on his pelvis. And even though she was on the ground with him and not flying, she had leaped slightly to catch Riley's shirt so she was airborne and had collected some of the other girl's momentum. Inadi's eyes went wide and a slight twitch showed on his face as he kept in his would-have-been high pitched squeal. He waited for the girl's to get off of him and slowly let air enter his lungs again and tried to let the pain pass on.

He slowly rolled over and began brushing him off, a limp noticeably evident when he walked off the incident he did not want to bring up. He already had a very embarrassing moment earlier and he didn't want to add another one to the list if he could help it. As he did so he began hearing a very loud roar turn into what reminded him of his father back home on a bad day. Raising an eyebrow he turned to the sound and noticed the large dragons were speaking to them now. In pure English. While he was taking it all in he saw Jasper shoot him a look asking what was going on. He quickly threw up a shrug to tell her he didn't even have a clue.

As the rest of the group conversed with the dragons and got them updated on the situation as it was, Inadi found himself sitting down on a rock close to the dragon they had now identified as the mother of the small dragon they found back at the cave. Inadi spent most of his time looking at his spear, brushing off specks of rock and dirt that had collected on it throughout the hike and let out a sigh. He noticed the point on the spear was beginning to dull slightly due to him using it as a crutch. He lifted his right arm up to see just how dull it was when he noticed the large dragon was looking at the scarred limb up and down. Seeing where her eyes had fallen he let out a smile and surprisingly, even to him, began just talking with the great beast.

“Don't worry, this wasn't your son. At least not all of it,” Inadi said as he poked at the tip of the spear. It was still sharp enough to make his hand feel a slight sting, but didn't immediately make him jump back at just the touch like it used to. He looked around and picked up a small rock and began trying to sharpen the blade with it. Whether or not the rock was actually the right kind to do it with was beyond his knowledge, but it at least gave him something to do. Returning to the dragon he let out a chuckle. “Most of it was my fault as it was anyway,

“Before we saw your son I had an accident with my magic and shocked my arm up pretty bad. Our whole goal was to collect a dragon's laugh supposedly so when we saw your son in the cave I tried grabbing him to tickle him or something stupid like that,” Inadi said as he gave her a quick look, taking his attention away from the spear. “He didn't take too kindly to me and told me off with a big gust of wind. My arm took the brunt of the damage.

“He's a strong dragon though for his size. His attitude though seems like he can become quite a handful when he gets upset. Almost flooded the whole cave when he started crying back there,” Inadi said as he began getting frustrated at the stone he was using. It didn't seem to be doing much and it had already made about two scratches on the metal. It was clear this wasn't a good whetstone. “But he should be find. He seemed like a quick little guy. We'll get him before you know it as long as we hurry.” Inadi said to the dragon as he began bouncing the spear on his knee. After a short while of sitting there quietly he began feeling like he was being watched. He turned to see Jasper and Lesley together, though the two of them seemed as if they were avoiding eye contact with him from a distance. He picked himself off the rock and began walking towards Harper to check on him, all the while shooting quick glances at Jasper and Lesley.

Finally getting to Harper he gave the boy a pat on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile. Every time a big event took place the kid seemed to be in the thick of it. And maybe to Inadi he was still a kid due to his youth compared to himself, but he was proving to be quite the proven man when the chips were down most of the time. “So have you heard anything for that Tobias guy yet about the next move? I get the feeling the parents here want the kid back and before they find him in a stew.” Inadi said with a worried look as he looked around the area to see soldiers collecting themselves after the devastating battle. They were going to be short a lot of man power, and their magic was running low. There wasn't great odds in their favor, but hopefully they were due for a miracle considering all they had been through prior.
