"Not a threat, next week your dragons are scheduled to fight a dragon that's never been defeated. A Hivewing named Hornet. Goodbye Tobias." he said as he unwrapped the chain from his dragon's neck and stepped out of the cell.
"What are you TALKING about?" Tobias shouted, his voice echoing through the lot as he rushed to the doorway in confusion. The man was playing his cards well if he truly wanted Tobias' attention, and Tobias realized this with an annoyed groan. "They decide when and who they fight, not a schedule, not you, not me." Tobias lowered his voice, taking a deep breath. "You have no idea what you're saying. Who- who even are you? I've never seen you in my life, and you literally just broke into my lot. That's illegal, pal, very, very illegal." He reached for his phone, "I should have called this in to begin with."
" They purposly want to kill your dragons." Nic replied calmly and seriously. " They have a person who is willing to pay a million something per month. And I already said who I am, Nic."
Eclipse watched the whole situation from the same position she had been in before. Her tail twitched as she thought, watching Tobias yell at the man and his dragon and then lower his voice more threateningly. She had decided to stay out of it. Tobias seemed to have it handled, or at least thought he had it handled. Tobias reached into his pocket and pulled out one of the chat devices. Before he could even do anything with it, the other man said something in a low voice and snatched it away from him, tossing it to his dragon who snapped it between his teeth.
Tobias pulled his gun out again, pointing to Shrike's old empty cage, the gun aimed at Nic's chest. "Drop your gun and get in the cage." He ordered calmly. "Do it and do it, now." He cocked the gun, being sure not to stand behind Sol Incase the man pulled his gun as well. "Both you are the dragon, go."
Nic signaled at the dragon and motioned him to follow. He looked at the lunarwing and talked in dragon " It's okay, we trespassed and your owner wants us in the cage. We won't attack, this dragon dosn't have adaquete venom. So please don't attack him."
Tobias cocked his head. Fluent in dragon?
"Dragon is my second language. I'd prefer to keep my gun, but I'll get rid of my bullets." He unloaded the gun then put it in its holster, walked into the cage, and leaned against the wall. " You want the knife? Because I'd prefer to keep it, but whatever, your my captor. I just hope you don't take the dragon's talons out." He chuckled to himself. " If your going to keep me here, can you bring Roe to me? It's kind of urgent."
Eclipse wasn't sure what to do. The situation only seemed to be escalating more, and whatever variables led to this sudden turn of events was way over her head. The chat device had obviously been important, and the "guns" seemed to be more dangerous to humans than she had previously thought. She still couldn't tell if the other dragon was a Leafwing or a Rainwing, though judging by what this new human had said, potentially both? Apparently, other humans couldn't just walk into Tobias' lot, which was both comforting and disturbing. Comforting in the sense that no random human could come in and stare and point and prod at her, disturbing to think how this one somehow had gotten in when he wasn't supposed to. She watched Tobias order the two into Shrike's cage and then slowly turned her head back toward the door.
