deep rumble left the dragon as they pushed their way through, tracking their ward by scent. Their legs had been giving them trouble as of late, new wounds reopening after the recent scrapping with bandits and using their body to uphold a collapsed tunnel. Exhaustion on their face, the kingpin rumbled as they trailed after the child, barely keeping xyr within eyesight. Taking a corner, they finally caught up, aware of silver blood leaking down their legs, tracing their scales, angry scarring covering their shoulders and throat, scars jagged and rough over their eyes. Orbs of bright sapphire glowed, lightning racing through their veins. They weren't afraid of what would happen o them should they lose their ward, they were a bloody leader, they were afraid of what would happen to their ward should they lose them. "wuyi. Come here.", there was the smallest amount of heat in their voice, gaze fixed on the carnivorous plants the cub had been touching before. Gods help them, they didnt like the look of that, "don't touch strange things without knowing what they are, please, little one.". The jungle was harder to travel in this body, but anything was hard pressed to want to eat them in this body, and scales gave more protection than fur. A low growl escaped them, assessing their surroundings and the individuals there. From the pot and into the frying pan, truly.

Locking their eyes on Stryker, they flicked an ear, "I'm here to discuss our allegiance, and more. I come with an invitation today, and a suggestion of opening a trade route, kingpin to kingpin.", they spoke to him directly, ignoring Stheno for the time being. Thank gods they were nearly at the end of their journey between territories. What hell this was becoming.

Turning their attention to Stheno, they laughed, "I do not fear a sharp bite. We are here for business outside of violence. If you crave a show, I would be happy to play with you later.", they chuffed, hard gaze passing over Ghost and Caesar who they chose to ignore. Crude mouth on that one. "wuyi, if you speak like that yellow cat there, I will personally wash your mouth out with soap.", they spoke to their ward sternly, hoping against hope the child would stay on their shoulders, or better yet, climb up between their antlers. Should they need to rear up, the youth would be well out of danger's immediate range. "If your pet makes a move on me or my ward, I will not hesitate to respond.", they spoke to Stryker once again, "Though they will find that I am not one that they should be keen to fight with.", they warned, gaze flicking back to the raptor hybrid and Stheno, curious yet intrigued. They could feel the lightning sliding along their throat, sparking in their saliva, the call of violence never far from the surface in them. Shaking their mane, they nodded to Stryker, waiting for his reaction after their classy late arrival.

(I totally slipped the boot on this one. Looked through my threads and realized I hadn't posted here akskdnfn. My bad lmao) //
