(Did he stab her wing with the stick? )He smiled wryly at her, "There's a good sprite, see how peacefully this can be done if you just stop blubbering?" He removed his claw and patted her head. It had been so long now since last he had actually hunted, and tasted, a dragon, it was one of his many habits most others frowned upon. Hehe, like he cared what others thought.
"Good b---" He started as he was thrown forward and back. He reeled his head back and hissed at Henry, turning back to Charlotte, ""*Dragon curses* Looks like our little friend has other plans, how about I take care of this first?" Silv reached above his head and, with a few good tugs, broke off a decent sized stick. He smiled again, jamming it down between the tree and the dragonness' wing, "Try to break free, sprite, and I'll teach a new meaning of suffering, mkay?"
"You've got one *Doododododo!* of a death wish, don't you old man." Silv trilled down, "Lets say I fulfill it for you and we call it even for you messing with my meal?"
He flung himself from Charlotte to a neighboring tree, forgetting till that moment about his ribs. He hit the tree and almost lost his grasp, eyes glazing over with the pan as his chest caught the branch. This could make things interesting... It took him a moment to catch his breath and he flashed Henry a twisted grin as he prepared to throw himself somewhere new. "Oh, okay. Not a problem, J-man. Meanwhile, I'll go get a juicy griffin to munch on while I watch my friends and home torn to bloody shreds." She replied, frills flushing once more as the tone of her voice rose. She stood and backed away several paces, same as he, "Why don't you just come to Pelendava? You don't have to stay, Jester. There are other places, far away from here and everyone, safe places. Why do this to yourself, and me?"
Charlotte whimpered, her eyes blinking away her tears that were beginning to fall more quickly. She shifted her weight on the branch, trying to hold on with her claws so that her weight wasn't held entirely on her wing. She glanced back at Silv to make sure he wasn't looking, then tested the strength of the stick holding her there to see if she could break free. Her wing shrieked with pain and her eyes glazed over at the slightest movement of her body. She stopped moving quickly and pushed up with her feet, trying to loosen the pressure on her wing which had already started to tear, the thin membrane giving way to her weight pulling down on it.
Henry was stumped for a moment and just stood there, his gaze flicking back between Charlotte and Silv. Instead of going after Silv, he stayed below the tree where Charlotte was and peered up at her. As long as she was away from him, he was satisfied for now. Her blueish, purple scales didn't exactly blend in to the green trees and the patrols would be looking for her, he was thankful that Silv had taken her so high.
"You know Camilla exiled me," He spat, his voice savage as he recounted his former dealings with the queen of Pelendava. "I will never be welcome there, you know that. They will die, and if you stay here, you will too." Without waiting for her to reply, he whipped around and stalked away from her.
