"Aurelius, are you doing okay?" Quincy asked him. She looked around the vicinity readjusting herself on top of Jade.

"I'm a bit nervous, is all," he said, "The stakes here are really high. I doubt it's anything the rest of you aren't feeling."
Pollux shook his head. "Not like that, my guy. I'm feeling pretty cool and confident right now."

"I would say nervousness to the point of numbness is where I am," Quincy responded nonchalantly.

"Hm, I see… so I'm the odd one out."
Aurelius sighed. "I'm freaking out a tiny bit… This is everything I've ever known, gone. This is our chance to start getting some of it back. If we mess that up? Well… we'll die, along with the dragons we were created to protect."

"Hey, calm down. It'll be okay," Quincy said, "If anything the dragons will leave us for dead."
"She's not wrong," Jade said following her up.

Nox growled a little bit, baring her teeth. Never… I can't lose my partner again…
Pollux nodded solemnly. "Nox, you amaze me. You're very different from most dragons."
"She's hardly a dragon," Aurelius said, "She just looks like one."

"Nox really is something else," Quincy said nodding along. Jade growled a little at her rider, "Hey! I like you more."
"You better," Jade huffed.
"Lazy bum."

(HAH little do they know…)
Pollux sighed. "Gods, I miss Kratos… He could've left me to die, but he died in my place. Not all dragons are disloyal. That's for sure."

(Yep! Lol)

"That really is a definite. I'm sure even grumpy old Jade here wouldn't leave me for dead," Quincy said with a slight grin, "But Kratos was probably one of the better ones."

Oh, we just pretend to be better than you. Nox added, Well, actually, we are. We just fake arrogance. Or usually it's fake.

"Can you not destroy the mental image of dragons?" Quincy said with a sarcastic tone.

Pollux laughed. "The thing is, I'm sure Kratos would've said the same thing… He always teased me for being an inferior… as dragons will…"
Nox rumbled happily. See? He gets it

Quincy was chuckling along with them, "Dragons will be dragons after all. Arrogant beasts."

"But if we don't get moving, dragons could be gone…" Aurelius sighed, ruining the cheerful mood. He practically radiated sadness.
Pollux scanned him up and down, trying to figure out what to tell him. There wasn't much he could do. He only healed physical wounds.

Quincy looked to Aurelius with a serious face, "Aurelius, there is no way we can get all of the dragons with this small a force. This should be treated more as a scouting mission, or something smaller. If we can get one or two, great! If not, that's fine too. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."

"That's not what I mean. They're after us too. The people preserving the dragons. If we die, they die too," he replied, "As much as I would like to swoop in and rescue any captives, I realize we can't do that right now."
Pollux shook his head. "Yeah, no way. What are we even looking for, my guy?"
"Signs of motive, plans, who their leader might be. Any information with the possibility of bringing us to victory later."

"That's good," Quincy nodded after Aurelius spoke about the no rescuing, "And that also does sound like a decent plan. It sounds…. Doable."

"That's the idea," Aurelius said with a sigh, "I'm not setting out to get us all killed, believe it or not."

"I really was questioning there for a second," Quincy said, voice once again laced with heavy sarcasm.

"How about yourself? You've been in rough shape this whole time. You can't go into a mission like that. What if you have to run on foot? That's right, you couldn't!" Pollux sighed, becoming a little annoyed with the younger rider.
Aurelius shook his head. "I'm fine. It looks like it's healing up. It just hurts a little still. I only limp because I'm being careful not to overwork it."
"Mhm."

“I highly doubt that,” Quincy said with a slight scoff, “If you really wanted to help it you wouldn’t be coming at all. Or had been using walking sticks to aid the weight being applied to the leg.”

"Okay, maybe so…" Aurelius muttered, "I'm in denial a little bit, perhaps. I can't stand being still and useless."
Pollux sighed. "That's going to get you killed, friend. That impulse of yours…"

“Your not useless, but please,” Quincy saud with worried eyes, “Take a break. We’re not children after all. You can lead us from afar or something.”

"I-I… I want to kill Valkyrie…" Aurelius said, tightening his grip on Nox. "I can lead from afar for the most part, especially since I need to look after Oliver, but if we see her, I won't hesitate."

“If we see here and she’s surrounded by others no you aren’t. We’re not risking a life,” Quincy emphasized her next words, “Your life. For a stupid little thing like vengeance. It’s not worth it Aurelius, trust me.”
