Eclipse smiled, stifling a laugh. Tobias had such an entertaining personality sometimes. She had never even imagined that a human could act and speak in such a diverse way, almost like a dragon. In fact, almost all of the humans she'd met personally in the Den seemed to have actual personalities. Sometimes, she almost forgot how different they all were.
She remembered Tobias' question from her first day in the lot. Could humans and dragons exist together without fighting?
It was true, in the Scorpion Den, the humans ruled and they dominated the dragons.
Outside though, any group of humans could be devastated by a single dragon.
But Tobias and others in the Den seemed to have found ways to live with certain dragons as equals, and Crest had mentioned something about a more mutual interaction in the Kingdom of The Sea. So it wasn't impossible. Then why did almost no one try to make it anything but a centuries-old war?
Maybe they were just too different. Humans were afraid of dragons, and Tobias had hardly proven otherwise. Eclipse had begun to trust him up until the point she had removed her collar. From then on, it seemed she was always on eggshells around the human. Their fear had led them to a point where they felt the need to dominate dragons, and for centuries it had trickled through the generations into an embedded hatred of them. So most dragons simply avoided them. But what would happen if they finally got fed up with it? What if the dragons finally turned full force on the humans, like they had millennial before during The Scorching? If things didn't turn around, history would inevitably repeat itself, and Eclipse shuddered at the thought of how much bloodshed such a catastrophic event would cause.
"You're right," She finally muttered, somewhat spontaneously. "There has to be some sort of compromise. We can't go on fighting each other like this." She glanced around at the dragons following them through the Maze.

(Ooh, this is good, Taber.)

Tobias arched a brow sarcasticly, pointing a finger at his chest, "Us? Oh, come on, I'm not that bad." He glanced at his feet, then back up to the end of the hall. "I'm.. sorry about the, uh, the lot- thing. I-... I was very distracted. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Shouldn't have lost my temper."

Eclipse turned to look at Tobias, blinking in surprise, then turned away and fixed her gaze ahead as well.
"I didn't exactly handle it well either did I?" she said with a wry smile, which quickly disappeared.
"It's not your fault. I know this is all difficult for you, and Sol being injured doesn't make it easier. Granted, I don't understand you most of the time, and it's... always been easier. For me. To- well... To just, turn a cold shoulder to other dragons. I am out of the habit of being understanding or empathetic to others."
She let out a long breath, running a talon down her snout.
"It was probably selfish of me. To ask Rose to help me ditch the collar so soon. Or at least, without talking to you first. But I can't get even the effects of this place off me soon enough. I just wanted to feel... like I am still in control of myself, in a way. Like I am still the one who owns me"
She hoped it made sense. It was hard to exactly explain the feeling, but if Tobias could understand even a single note of it, she would be satisfied.

"I should have taken it off sooner." Tobias murmered. "You're a good dragon, Eclipse. And I should trust you. I- I do trust you. Now. Before, it just seemed like you got caught up in everything going on, like you didn't really care. But you did- you, you do."
Tobias sighed, reaching for the gold chain around his neck, which had come out during the rush. He tucked the chain back under his black dress shirt and coat, stealing a glance at Eclipse.
"I've turned into to one of them." He mumbled, closing his eyes momentarily. "The Scorpion Den is wildly corrupting. My views, however mild they might be compared to the other humans here- they're... terrible." Tobias released a slow breath. "But- but I'm hoping once I'm out of here," he looked up at Eclipse, "I'll catch those errors and.. correct my.. opinions."
Someone shouted up ahead, a sharp, somewhat desperate sound, maybe a name, but it was distorted. The woman's voice echoed through the hall, emitting from one of the many lot doors, which suddenly slammed shut.
Tobias froze, straightening as he stared straight ahead, a gloved fist tightening around the ruger.
He slowly met Eclipse's gaze. "Do we get them to the yard or check on that?" He nodded to the dragons, speaking in low tones. "I think we have enough back up.." Tobias licked his lips, the hall now silent.

Eclipse glanced at the large collection of dragons following them, her muscles tensed and the ridge on her spine standing erect. She spotted Helios near the front and she met his gaze, signaling him forward.
"I think the two of us should probably check it out. Helios, can you keep an eye on the dragons here for now?"
She glanced back at Tobias. "What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, hurry." He approached the door from the side, glancing through the small window. A metal plate closed off the view from the inside of the lot. Tobias bit his lip, snatching his key card and holding it over the scanner. "Ready?"
