Eclipse felt annoyance flicker beneath her scales, accompanied by a note of admiration. He's defiant, she thought, looking the little dragon up and down. The perfect sort of dragon for an escape plan. She glanced between the three of them. Dred and Kapok were bigger than her, and Dred looked like the sort of dragon who might have killed someone before. Kapok didn't exactly seem tough, but he was burly, and he'd survived this long in the Den. Shrike was a tiny ball of fluff from any other perspective, but Eclipse noted his particularly sharp canines and his snappy attitude. She smirked. They seemed like the perfect strike team. But she felt like there was one thing missing...
"We are going to need his help," she said, following Shrike's gaze to where Sol was still lying unmoving in his cage. "Obviously, I can tell you don't like him, but it's not like you have to be friends with him. We are just working together to escape."
