Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

[Blue Raptor]

Calla grabbed a juicy looking hunk of meat, sitting away from the other dragons. It was so relieving when Cas walked away to annoy a LeafWing dragoness. But she did catch herself staring at them while they talked several times.
Calla pushed the thoughts away and focused on ripping her ham into smaller chunks. When she heard the LeafWing yell “Sol”, Calla’s head popped up. She watched out of her blurry vision, recognizing the name. Sol was a very well known fighter in the ring. She was lucky enough to have never fought him.

Hibiscus flopped down beside him, glad of his unintentional invitation to rest. She laid her head on her front talons and looked up at him.
"Well. I would love to go back to the rainforest. I.. I ache to be back in the jungle. I'd also love to visit the Ice Kingdom, or the Mud Kingdom, or go to the beach, find a nice cottage..." She trailed off, a wistful expression on her face. "Gosh, I guess there's a lot I want to do! How about you, Sol? What do you want to do?"

(Ok, NOW I am done for the night xD)

Eclipse paced into the cavern, shaking her thoughts away as she glanced around the large area.
Sunspot was standing a short distance away, still with Shard, and Sol was already pacing towards an unfamiliar Leafwing and Skywing near one of the cavern walls.
Wait, not completely unfamiliar. She was pretty sure they were the two who had approached her earlier when the transport had first arrived.
Eclipse turned her gaze back to Sunspot and Shard, noticing the dragonet watching her intently and she signaled them over with one wing.
"We should get something to eat and settle down for a little while," she said as the two dragoness' approached.
Her gaze wandered around the cavern again and she spotted the food set out near a row of grills and crates where most of the humans were gathered. Instinctively folding her wing over Shard again, she started toward the food, her gaze still flicking around at the other dragons in the cavern. She could feel the stares burning into her scales and her spines lifted defensively. She had to force herself not to bare her teeth every time she passed a dragon that didn't look away when she caught them staring, and she found herself hurrying more and more the closer they got to the food.
"Oh, Eclipse look!"
Shard raced out from under her wing to a crate full of fresh fruit, her wings flaring in excitement as she pulled a pair of bright orange and red oval fruits from the boxes.
"They have mangos," she whispered loudly as Eclipse came closer, regaining her shyness now that she was no longer hidden under the Lunarwing's wing. Eclipse smiled at the small Icewing.
"Go ahead and grab those two, but get some meat with them, we don't know when we'll get to eat again on the trip."
Shard nodded in excitement and tucked one mango between her wing spokes, carrying the other in her talon as she bounded awkwardly over to the meat laid out on the rocks, Eclipse following closely behind.
It was strange actually having a selection of food to pick from. Usually, you hunted what you could and you didn't get picky if you wanted to survive.
Eclipse paused as she glanced over the various types of meat before grabbing a few rabbits in one talon.
Her first instinct was to try and find Bloodmoon among the crowd, but she immediately shoved the thought away, still a little disturbed by his strange aggression the night before.
So instead, she started toward Sol and the other two, a little hesitantly, Shard padding excitedly beside her. She was still a little ways away when the Leafwing brushed her wing against Sol's, her expression soft and sympathetic.
Eclipse veered sideways quickly, stopping beside the cavern wall and dropping her meat before curling up on the ground with her back to the stony base, part of her hoping Sol hadn't noticed her. He obviously knew the other dragons, and for a reason Eclipse couldn't quite understand, the thought made her want to avoid the group.

“Wait- who is this?” Cas said, pointing to the fiery red SolarWing. He pulled his head back with a small shake when he saw Eclipse, “who is THAT? Who is everyone? Who is I?” He staggered back dramatically, clasping his talons over his horns. “HIBISCUS DO YOU KNOW ALL THESE DRAGONS?” Cas yelled, whipping his head around to glance at every dragon in turn with an alarmed grin on his face.

"I... Wherever Tobias goes." He tried to smile, but failed quite miserably. Sol looked away, noticing a few humans who were gathering around the mouth of the cave. The cave had quieted considerably, and it appeared as if the humans were to give some sort of speech.
A sudden shout caused a disturbance through the cave, and Sol took a sharp breath, realizing the yelling was coming from some idiot behind him. Sol refused to give the dragon acknowledgement, following Hibiscus' lead as he rested his head on his talons, staring straight ahead at the humans, who were sending confused looks his way.

“Wait, really? You’ve never eaten it?” Cas inspected the meat he had. “Well, I guess it tastes like.. meat. The kind the scavengers gave me was cold like this one. Maybe they make IceWings keep it cold.” He shrugged, offering her a bite, “want to try it?”

"Uh, sure, I'll try it!" Hibiscus said, taking the hide in her talons. "Why am I nervous?" she laughed, and then instinct took over and she tore off a little piece of meat with her front teeth. She handed the hide back to Sol as she chewed, the odd, savory flavor overwhelming her senses.
"Huh! That's.. interesting," she said after she swallowed. "I'd have to get used to that."

Hibiscus' head shot up at Cas' unexpected yell. She couldn't help but laugh at the expression on the SkyWing's face.
"Cas! Take a deep breath," she said between laughs. "I don't know all these dragons. This," she indicated Sol, "is Sol! Sol, this is Cas. I kind of just met him."

Sol nodded, repositioning himself against the cave wall. The SkyWing seemed to be bubbling with energy- too much energy.

Hibiscus glanced over at Sol and noticed his unsettledness. She heaved herself to her feet and moved towards Cas, wrapping a wing around his shoulders.
"Hey, Cas, maybe take it down a notch? Dragons are staring," she murmered, releasing him from her wing.

After she'd wandered around the cavern for probably way too long, Lori decided to get some food. She took three mangoes and found an area against the wall to sit. She had missed fruit so much. Sure, she was part cloudwing so she enjoyed meat as well, but it was all she'd eaten since she arrived at the scorpion den. For now, she just wanted the familiar taste of fruit again. When she took a bite of the first mango, she noticed how the feathers on her talons were tinged green. Why was she so nervous around these dragons? If it weren't for them, she'd still be locked in that tiny cage with nobody to talk to except cloudwings that hated her. Maybe she should talk to the dragons around her. She probably needed to relearn some social skills. Eh, she'd finish the mangoes first.

Calla’s head shot up once again as Cas overdramatized the situation. She smacked her head with her talon while rolling her eyes.

Eclipse arched an eyebrow at the Skywing as he flailed backwards in a flurry of dramatic wailing. He was obviously messing around, judging by the smile on his face, but Eclipse noticed at least half the dragons in the cave shooting him condescending looks.
Now I'm glad I chose not to socialize, Eclipse thought, refocusing on her food and tearing a piece of rabbit meat away.
"What's that Skywing doing?" Shard had paused in her task of peeling and sucking on one of the mangos to stare at the red dragon. As a dragonet, it was unlikely she knew that staring was considered impolite.
Although you'd assume older dragons might have figured it out. She was still catching a few dragons here and there that didn't look away until she glared at them.
"He's just playing," Eclipse responded without looking up at the Skywing again.
Shard lifted a yellow-stained talon and pointed at Sol. "That's the Solarwing you were talking to. Do you like him? We should go sit with them."
Shard grabbed her untouched mango off the ground and before Eclipse could recover from the question, the Icewing was already bounding over to the group.
"Shard get back here!"
Eclipse stood up quickly but stayed where she was, feeling awkward as the dragonet padded straight up to Sol.

"You're Eclipse's friend right?" Shard said, without waiting for the Solarwing to look at her.

Maybe Lori could try talking to Calla, kinda get a little more interaction between these two
