Sage's blue eyes watched like a hawk from his area in the woods. He was perched on a high branch in a tree, his dark colors allowing him to blend in easily with the shadows of the trees all around him. His gaze raked the crowds in the nest, trying to find a cloudwing with black feathers. There were several cloudwings with black feathers, but he was looking for one with a resemblance to Vulture.
He spotted a group of young cloudwings playing and shook his head. Not him...too young. I need to get closer... He thought. Dropping from the branch, he glided closer to the nest. His mind was racing with ideas of how to sneak through the nest without being seen. Why do I need to not be seen... His thoughts whispered to him. His mouth turned up slightly and he leapt to the ground, still in the cover of trees. He dropped to all fours and slipped through the dark undergrowth. Making it to the edge of the nest, he spotted a black dragon near the edge of the nest and made his way over to him. The cloudwing was just examining some plants near the edge of the heavy forest and Sage locked eyes on his target. Slipping around to where the dragon was facing, he tensed and waited for the perfect moment. The Cloudwing grabbed some plants and turned to leave.
That was his chance.
Sage tore out of the forest holding a dragon muzzle in one claw. The cloudwing's head spun around and the eyes went wide as he realized what was happening.
But too late.
Sage clamped the muzzle and swiftly pulled out one of his pistol's with his other claw. The dragon's gray eyes filed with terror as he saw what had just muzzled him. Sage walked up to the frightened dragon and pointed the pistol at him. "Don't make a sound or you're dead."
The dragon nodded quickly and seemed to shrink as fear engulfed him.
Sage took a step closer and looked at the dragon's eyes. "Did you get to this nest just recently?"
Black feathers flew through the air as the cloudwing hastily shook his head no.
Continuing his stare at the dragon he asked another question, "Who was your mother?"
The cloudwing hesitated and then gestured to the muzzle. Without taking his gaze from the dragon, he loosened the muzzle but kept the pistol pointed at the dragon. "Now answer my question."
Rubbing his nose, the cloudwing peeped out, "My mother was a skywing, s..s...sir."
Nope.
"Have you heard of anymore black cloudwings who have entered one of the nests recently?" Sage's voice hissed out.
Standing a little taller, the cloudwing answered, "I heard there was a couple of new dragons in the Grebe's nest. Why do you need to know?"
"Where is that?"
"It's south of here." The cloudwing was gaining a little more confidence and stood taller, "Again, why do you need to know?"
With one swift motion, Sage rammed the butt of the pistol into the dragon's head and knocked him unconscious, but not enough to do terrible damage. With the dragon on the ground, Sage turned and left back into the woods.
South...ok. He took off in the direction the cloudwing had pointed out.

Again, Sage sat scanning the nest. He was pretty sure he was at Grebe's nest. He scanned the dragons walking outside. Spotting several cloudwings, he made his way closer to the nest. He got as close as he dared to the nest without being seen and waited. He picked a cloudwing and set his sights on it, prepared to wait until it made it's way over to the edge of the nest where he could speak with him.

Eclipse pulled her wings in tighter as the Leafwing started giggling behind her wing, making the Lunarwing blush even more.
"Um, well..." she glanced down at the Icewing dragonet at her side, who was just finishing nibbling on one of her mangos.
"This is Shard," she said, gesturing the dragonet forward. "I found her on the transport and well... I've kinda been looking after her, because her parents..." she trailed off, hoping the others understood without her having to say aloud what the Icewing might not completely understand.
Shard bounded up to Sol, her dark blue eyes glittering with excitement as if the introduction was permission to finally ask whatever questions she'd been wondering.
"Why do you have these scratches?" The dragonet pointed to the tail barb and claw slashes on Sol's side, then pulled her talon back shyly.
"That kinda looks like a Sandwing tail-thing did that. Did you fight a Sandwing?"

Sol couldn't help but wince as the IceWing reached her talon towards his left flank- but she didn't touch the healing wounds, which was a relief. Sol slowly pushed himself against the wall, repositioning so that he could still rest, but face the small dragonet. "I fought a SandWing." He agreed, with a blunt nod. "Wouldn't advise it." Sol glanced up at Eclipse, giving her a gentle smile when he noticed she was still blushing. Oh, why did she take his jesting so seriously? He lifted his wing, barely able to reach the silver dragon, "Eclipse, I really was joking. It's okay. Please don't be embarrassed."
He dropped his wing, watching the dragonet's inquisitive eyes wander over his scales. He did have quite a few scars. But so did most of the dragons here. Sol was grateful his right side was pressed against the wall- his back leg was still quite a mess, and he had lost several stitches. The wound would have to be cleaned to prevent infection. With a sigh Sol glanced towards the small, makeshift infirmary in the far back corner of the cave.
The dragonet brought his attention back to present matters as she crossed Infront of him, narrowing her eyes at a thick scar tracing down his neck. Now that one had a history. He caught her gaze and shook his head with a kind look, snuffing out the onslaught of questions.
"Eclipse-" Sol began, lifting his gaze, "so, you are caring for her- er, Shard? Just for now, or..? Cuz, that's cool. I like it. You have a kind heart, Eclipse."

Eclipse had let her thoughts wander a little to try and take her mind off her embarrassment when Sol turned back to her.
She stared at him for a moment, unsure how to respond. Honestly, she hadn't really thought about how long she would be looking after Shard. Subconsciously, she just assumed as long as she needed to. But how long that was exactly, was the real question.
But it was his compliment that really shocked her. Did she really have a kind heart? She'd been convinced most of her life that it was quite the opposite case. She was cold to dragons usually only for the need to keep them away from her, and sometimes, at the end of the day, she was afraid she might be a little too cold.
So hearing a dragon she'd only met a few days before tell her that they thought the complete opposite... she didn't know how to feel.
Eclipse realized that she had been holding Sol's gaze as her thoughts swirled around and she quickly shot her eyes to the ground, then back to Shard.
"I don't know," she said slowly. "With all the unrest with the humans, I can't think of anywhere I'd trust her to get taken care of." She rested a wing on the dragonet's shoulder without thinking.
"And I know someone who might be able to help, so, now that you mention it... I think I might."
Eclipse could hardly believe what she was saying, and from the look the Icewing gave her, she guessed Shard was probably equally as surprised.
The dragonet shuffled closer and pressed against Eclipse's side, more confidently than she ever had before. Eclipse wasn't sure what it was, but something in her wanted to do everything to protect the young dragoness. Something she couldn't put words to.

I vote no with the Sol x Eclipse thing- but when Whitestar finally comes around, he could assume that about Sol. But Sol's never really liked her, and think it would all seem forced. He's quite content as it is, assuming Tobias makes it back.

Also, dog, is Bloodmoon even a thing, Poopins has been gone for weeks.
