Rose laughed lightly, a warm smile on her face. “Of course dear, just close your eyes and imagine someplace calm.”
The older dragoness replied soothingly, taking the needle and waiting a good money until eclipse seemed calm and collected. She pinched the area and found a good vein, injecting the shot with ease, the mixture of drugs now coursing through the lunarwings system. It was over quickly and she gave eclipse a reassuring look. “ All good, Eclipse.”

Rose then turned to the human, Tobias and handed him a smaller version of the needle, containing the same drug but dosed for a human and without the dragon specific variables inside. “ Here’s the Anti-Serum, Tobias. Hopefully it still works on intoxicated folks.”
She said with a laugh, then seeing a hint of worry on his face she continued, “I’m kidding, it’ll work. I’ve tested every variable.”

Eclipse found herself holding her breath as she waited for Rose to inject the drug. Someplace calm, someplace calm.
She pressed her eyes shut and imagined, of course, the island. Maybe she could pretend the hard concrete of the lot was the stone of the ocean cliffs. The chattering of humans and dragons could be the restless ocean beneath. She tried to imagine that's all it was.
"All good, Eclipse," Rose said gently, breaking Eclipse out of the moment. She took a step back, subconsciously reaching up and brushing a talon over the spot where the needle had pricked her. She hadn't even needed to concentrate on her quiet place. Rose had done it so fast and steady, Eclipse had hardly even felt it.
"Thank you Rose," Eclipse murmured once the older dragoness was done talking to Tobias. Eclipse frowned at the human.
Something about him wasn't normal--as if anything about the human was "normal". He seemed unsteady and his comprehension of the whole moment seemed to be slow. His eyes were unfocused and every now and then, his head swayed.
Eclipse shuffled a bit closer to Rose. "What's wrong with him?" she whispered to the dark Leafwing, then added with just a hint of worry, "Is he sick or something?"

Tobias' face was pale, and he shook his head, grabbing the needle from Rose and sitting down. "I'm ssorry." He breathed, wedging the needle against his teeth and squinting at his forearm as he closed his free hand just above his elbow. He sat there for a moment, then cocked his head, breathing heavily as he repositioned his hand and pinched a small area of skin, leaning his head down so that he could retrieve the injection. Still doing his best to hold the skin, Tobias slid the needle in emotionlessly, feeling a familiar ache wash through every tense muscle. He quickly tried to relax as he jerked the needle out, blinking and fumbling to hand it back to Rose.
As the serum washed through his body, Tobias could feel his head begin to clear, his vision sharpen, his stupidity better realized.
He stood uneasily, finally feeling present. "I'll help the rest of my crew." Tobias pointed to Kapok, Dred, and Shrike. "What do they need? Where's best to inject?"
Monzy huffed past them, wiping sweat off his brow, "We got to hurry!" He shouted. "Pick it up, eveyun, pick it up!"

“You could say that….he’s drunk. Or was, the Anti-Serum should get rid of the effects completely pretty soon.” She stated, wrinkling her nose up disapprovingly. She turned to Tobias again and explained it to him. “Largest vein you can find, inject it into their bloodstream and it’ll start working immediately.”

“Things are finally rolling, soon they won’t be able to stop us, even if they find out.”
She thought, hope swelling inside her. She placed a talon on the satchel that was gently thumping on her side every time she moved, stilling it and whispering to the seedlings inside with her Leafspeak. “Do not be afraid, i will be the wind for you. I’ll carry you to fresh, fertile ground where you can grow wild and free.” She comforted, smiling as their worries faded away.

Tobias nodded, collecting three syringes, positioning them in between each finger. "Kapok, buddy," he strode up to the tall LeafWing, waving one of the needles as he ran a hand down the dragons neck. Kapok was easy going. Or at least that's how he seemed. "You good with this buddy? It'll bring back your, uh, Leaf Speak thing." Tobias smiled reassuringly.

Eclipse wasn't sure what "drunk" meant exactly, but Rose didn't seem worried, in fact, she seemed more disapproving, so Eclipse assumed it wasn't too big of a deal.
There was a strangely powerful sense of energy and adrenaline beginning to rise in her body, and she could only assume it was the energy enhancement Rose had given her. She hadn't really thought that the effects would be that noticeable, but they were. She felt like she could fly all the way to Imperial and back twice and she shifted quickly back and forth on her feet, flaring her wings.
The sensation reminded her a little of the time she had chewed and sucked on an entire patch of sugarcane when she was a dragonet, only multiplied and concentrated. She didn't feel out of focus, in fact, her attention seemed to laser in on the entire rebellion all at once.
Oh, this is gonna be easy, she thought, a toothy smile slowly spreading on her face. Tobias seemed to be improving from his weird unfocused haze now and he paced up to the rest of the group with three more of the syringes in his hands.
Eclipse quickly located and bounded over to the rebellion leader, Monzy. Her tail was twitching and thrashing almost uncontrollably from the extra energy and she tried not to appear too crazy to the human.
"Where is Sol," she said, as calmly as she could. "I was wondering if I could speak to him a little before the mission."

Kapok straightened in excitement, his wings lifting hopefully. He carefully settled on the ground, keeping his talons pulled underneath him so that the human could reach him better. He watched Tobias with wide green eyes, waiting expectantly for the shot.

Whitestar glanced around the sand, his heart pounding. He didn't see the transport that had been in the center of the caravan the day before, and he heard the hunter translate Alyssia's words. There were no tracks in the sand and he assumed a breeze during the night must have blown them away. He stood there for a moment staring at the destruction of the human machines, his tail lashing in the sand before he turned back to the others.
"Apple, Bamboo," he started, his voice firm and resolved. "Split up and scan the desert in the opposite direction of the Den. If you find the limo, stop them or come back and find us." He turned to Blackout, Alyssia, and the hunter. "Blackout, you come with me. Bring him." he pointed a claw at the hunter. "Alyssia, you can ride with me again. We should stick together if we are heading for the Den, just in case things get out of hand."
He paced back toward the human and crouched next to her, lifting his talon the same way he had in the oasis to help her up.
"We have to move quickly."

Shrike, not understanding the half most of the conversation Tobias was having, narrowed his eyes at the man. “What’s your deal?” He questioned in Dragon, “you dying or something?”

Monzy turned towards Eclipse, wrapping up his conversation with Ferrin. "Oh.. I'm sorr, Eclipse, but Sol's off already. Wus part of the err-lie crew. What's up?"
