Vel didn't care. She did not care if Tobias died. The rebellion was her priority.Alicanto froze for a moment, the white-tipped feathers along his spine glowing brighter as he felt the dragon's breath stir them. The despair on Sol's face was evident, and Alicanto only smiled, the shadow cast by the dragon behind him sending a dark veil over his already menacing expression.
"Of course," he said slowly, his face a sickly light tone. "But do consider-" he tightened his grip on Tobias, feeling the human tense in pain.
"I won't go down without a fight. And August won't last more than the next several seconds."
Eclipse had only just opened her mouth to respond when Vel appeared behind the Cloudwing, along with Kas and another Rainwing she didn't recognize.
She watched in horror as the silver dragon's grip tightened around Tobias's waist, his claw pressing up again and forcing the human's head back. Instinctively, she took a step towards them, stopping as the Cloudwing shot her a dark warning look, his face shadowed ominously in the moonlight. Eclipse felt torn, standing uncertainly beside Sol.

Kass realized this immediately, his eyes searching the gray RainWing's expression for any hint of sympathy as Tobias cried out, the blood showing brightly against his pale skin as he jerked his head back, chocked groans racking his throat.
The panic and horror in Sol's eyes sent Kass' heart spiraling, and he tried to motion Vel back, giving a quick shake of his head.
Vel, shockingly, listened, scowling as she backed away. "So, I walked in just as we were trying to settle the stupid compromise, and I have an idea- NO, no you stay," Vel pointed to Sol, who took a jerky step forward, his eyes on Tobias, who was moaning softly, his silent composure long gone. "Yah, like that. Stay. Goood boy. K, CloudWing, hear me out, dude." Vel sighed, her motherly tone condescending. "WHAT IF- you took Kassa back instead," she grinned, her gaze shifting to the white dragon, who gave her a critical expression. "No, K, fine, me. If you took me instead. And then I can join your little interrogation fest, and you can go through the whole torture shabang, and I'll tell you every dang thing I know." She shrugged. "Up to you, dog, but my man Tobe legit knows nothin. I on the other talon, know everything. So, really, up to you. Honestly down for whateves here. And- stop, um, squishing him, please." She looked up from Tobias, meeting the CloudWing's gaze with a cool expression. "Doubt they want him back dead, ya know?"
Sol blinked, his ears deaf to Vel's words, too lost in the panicked pain to listen.
