"Of course," Vipereyes responded, still looking at Fellwing with a questioning gaze. However, she didn't say anymore, and the conversation quickly changed subject as the group continued their flight to the Capitol.
If Yves resembles a dragon in-profile when viewed from above, then the Capitol - which rests within the dragon's 'head' - resembles an eye. If the group didn't have six rawscale drakes to worry about, they could easily fly all the way there. As it is now, unfortunately, they cannot, and the group is forced to land atop the dragon's 'snout'. Thankfully, there is a Semscale stronghold there where they can rest before catching their bearings. Outside the building, the group can see several dragons ranging from longtooth to bearded age teaching drakes who have just earned their wings how to fly. A few of them notice the team, some waving and a couple just staring curiously. Their teachers quickly recall their attention so the lesson can continue. However, the more sharp-eyed members of the group will notice one of the older dragons is look directly at them... specifically, directly at Garrock.
"We're going to have to walk the rest of the way," Garrock said, seemingly none-the-wiser. He was about to start walking the path towards the city when Fogdance spoke up.
"Hold on, Garrock," she said. She turns to the rest of the group. "Is everyone alright to continue on, or do we need to rest a bit?" This question particularly seems directed towards the drakes rather than the older dragon. "There's no shame if you need a moment to catch your breath. That was quite a flight."
"I feel fine," Kyte said. "In fact, ever since Stargaze healed my wing, I've never felt stronger. I feel I could fly whole way there if I wanted to!" They paused, realising how insensitive that might be. "Err, obviously I won't, given the rest of you... can't yet."
"Thanks for reminding us," Pleexem said, voice quiet yet dripping with sarcasm. It's the first thing he's said since they've left the island, and it's definitely the harshest thing the clutch has heard him say in their brief time knowing him.
It seems that Pleexem's voice was too soft for Kyte to pick up on, but Tamba must have heard him because she gives her twin a little swat her paw. The two share a look before Tamba turns her attention back to Fogdance. "I think we're fine."
Fogdance then turns her attention to Skobeloff, Fellwing, Shieldwing and Stargaze, looking at them with concern.
