Having a sudden appearance by one you didn't recognize was not well taken. When said 'appearance' walks into your home and approaches what you consider is your's, it is but a natural response to get hostile and protective.
Jun's massive form suddenly bristled. The dragon's four wings flared outwards, making him appear even more giant. Lips curled back to show sharp fangs that dwarfed the tallest of men. Flames licked the sides of his muzzle, yellow eyes glowing brightly. The red dragon released a deep, guttural growl that caused the entire cavern to vibrate from his voice.
It was an instinct response. Jun was still a dragon, and all natural instincts remained. The sudden appearance of the young rider and dragon was considered a threat. His primal mind seeing a potential challenger against him, and his domain. His yellow eyes shifted, watching as the female leaped off her dragon, hurrying towards his rider.
Smoke started to rise from Jun's nostrils. His tail suddenly snaked from somewhere behind him, aiming to split the girl off from his rider, though paused. Their actions weren't hostile…but still. The dragon's yellow eyes never left the female as she was soon beside his rider.
~Do you always welcome yourself into another's lair without even asking~ the dragon's rough voice suddenly echoed, clearly agitated.
He glared between the young rider and dragon, a growl continuing to sound from deep in his throat ~Consider yourselves lucky you carry the scent of the village, elsewise I would've made you regret even setting foot here~.
The red beast's gaze shifted backwards to Cain. The man remained laying place, unmoving except for the faint rise and fall of his sides, breathing.

"Let's go South," Aurelius concluded, "Seems safest right now. We can always change direction if things are looking bad." He climbed back onto Nox's back and prepared to start flying again.

"I agree" Charlie said, following in suit and hopping onto Jekyll. He decided to let them lead the way since himself and Jekyll had come accustomed to traveling alone and didn't want to leave them behind on accident

Dawn nodded, ~We simply wish to help. That is all.

Jade nodded along with Dawn, "Yeah, sorry for intruding. I see someone injured and I have to help them. It's kind of my thing."

She continued caring for Cain. It didn't take long and the man had been healed to the best of Jade's ability.

"If you're going to hold up the rear, could you keep watch behind us?" Aurelius asked, "I'm worried they could still be in pursuit, and if we get attacked again, well… let's say I don't think we'll be so lucky next time."
He tried to fly as high as possible for the time being to place as much space between himself and the intruders as possible. With the help of some fog, he figured they would be mostly concealed.

"Yes of course we're too close to the village to let our guard down" Charlie replied telling Jekyll to follow them

Aurelius told Nox to speed up a little until they were a good distance from the village. He looked back at Charlie and Jekyll to make sure they still followed.
"I feel kind of bad knowing that we left people to die," he admitted, "I'm not sure if I let the elders go out of spite or… or if it really just was logic. I feel even worse that I don't feel sad about the elders going in the manner they probably did. I'm almost inclined to believe they deserved it. An attack has been a long time coming."

"There was nothing we could have done to help anyways, and your right it was a long time coming the dragons have been having dreams of a battle for a long time and they ignored it" Charlie answered trying to comfort Aurelius

"Okay," Aurelius replied softly. He was deep in thought, still trying to digest everything.
"Do you know of any villages we could crash in? I haven't been out so far to the South before."

"I think there should be a small village coming up soon, we should move lower so we can see it ive been in their for supplies once or twice, I think they have a small guest housing"

"Yeah, that should do," Aurelius agreed, "Should we leave Nox and Jekyll in the woods for the night? I'm afraid of what people may want to do to them, but if we hide them, everything should be alright, I suppose."
He nudged Nox a little lower, and she descended quickly, just far enough so that he could see what was below: just woods for now.

Charlie agreed "We should hide them well though" He was worried since Jekyll didn't like leaving Charlie alone just as much as Charlie didn't like leaving him alone but he was sure under the circumstances it should be alright, they followed Nox and Aurelius on their decent

Aurelius, after flying a while longer, noticed a village. It wasn't very big, but there should at least have been an inn, and it was surrounded by dense forest. He picked a place to land and dismounted Nox.
Upon standing, Aurelius almost fell over, a little bit dizzy from blood loss. He looked to his shoulder, which had stopped bleeding, but very clearly soaked through the bandages.
"Right here?" he asked.

Charlie and Jekyll landed beside them "Yeah it is, are you okay? I have more bandages we should replace them?" He asked concerned

"I'm fine. It's done bleeding, I'm just a little unsteady. Once we find an inn, I'll go clean up a bit and replace the bandages. Then we should get some food," Aurelius said.
He stroked Nox's head, told her to stay safe, and turned towards the village.

"Okay" Charlie answers, he pets Jekylls head and says the the dragon "Ive got to leave you here you can't come to the village with us stay hidden okay" Jekyll shoved his head into Charlies chest "Okay" Jekyll replied

Aurelius strolled ahead, not in any particular hurry. He looked through the edge of the trees at the village and saw an inn almost right away. He checked to make sure that Charlie followed and kept going towards the front steps.

He followed Aurelius making sure to check behind them frequently to make sure no one followed them, he hurried and caught up to Aurelius walking beside him

He went to open the door, and there was a woman standing at the counter.
"Hello, dears. Are you traveling? Need a place to stay?"
Aurelius nodded, being rather quiet.

"Just a room for the night" Charlie said to the lady smiling politely

The woman nodded, went behind the counter and pulled out a key, which had a number engraved on it. She slid it onto the desk and towards Charlie and Aurelius, then her eye caught sight of Aurelius' injury.
"What happened there?" she asked, taken aback.
Aurelius shook his head, fumbling for words. "N-nothing. I… um… fell."

Charlie took the key from the counter "He fell on some sharp rock" He paused for a second "We were messing around climbing a tree" He tried to think quickly
