{ Erin Clearwater }
Female | 21 Years Old | Group A
Location: Arstal - Docks
Mentions: Xander, Fox, Eric, Kylin, Cara, Myani

As Erin made her way to the docks she lost Xander and Fox somewhere along the way, standing a bit dumbfounded on the wooden steps and staring around her in confusion. How did one lose sight of a Glider anyway? Fox wasn’t exactly hard to miss. Self-consciously wondering if Xander had just been eager to be rid of her, she hesitated for a long time before Zoom slipped out of her pack to perch upon her shoulders once again, giving her cheek an encouraging nudge with his snout. Taking a deep breath, she collected what little courage she had and forced herself onward to meet the other people gathered around the massive Goliath.

Only two men and their Drakes awaited her, the first being the fellow she’d caught a brief glance of in the stables as he shouted for everyone to join him on the docks. She hadn’t been there long before several more raffle winners began filling up the docks. Erin shifted anxiously, steering clear of the other people. She wasn’t as keen on approaching anyone else after getting separated from Xander and automatically assumed no one would want to speak to her regardless. Her hazel gaze slipped to the Goliath waiting to carry them down to the Lower World and she edged a bit closer to examine him more thoroughly. “I think you’re probably the biggest Goliath I’ve ever seen,” she admired aloud. “I wish you could stay with us for the full journey. I’d feel safe with you around.”

{ Draven Reyes }
Male | 23 Years Old | Group B
Location: Ritter - Docks
Mentions: Artemia, Aeros, Obroox, Danger

“Of course. I’m sure no man could compare to Aeros when it comes to being your number one watchdog,” he teased back. “I’ll be glad to take second place though,” he added, risking another glance at the Flier behind him. He should probably watch it around a creature that could so easily ruin him, but Draven had always lacked a filter concerning the things he let come out of his mouth. “We’re going to be friends someday. you and I. Just wait and see,” he claimed, winking at the Drake before his attention returned to Artemia.

“You might not like what you hear,” he warned when Artemia mentioned getting the full story out of him later, but soon after let the prospect of her potentially rejecting his friendship over his former...occupation slip from his mind. They had far bigger problems to consider for the timebeing.

Moments after Danger sent Artemia flying Draven still felt the distinct need for bloody retribution and it showed in his tense body language and the fiery glare he aimed Obroox’s way, but he held himself back from taking action...for now. “You don’t look fine,” he commented a bit dryly as he helped Artemia to her feet, noting how disoriented she was. “We should have you seen by a medic before we leave.”

As it became clear that Artemia knew the newcomer Draven’s eyes narrowed slightly. She didn’t sound happy to see him. ‘You want me to get rid of him?” He asked, loud enough for both of them to hear and with a hint of threat in his tone. He didn’t get the chance to say much else before a bloodcurdling roar split the air and as expected Aeros turned on the offending Drake.

Kapa’s gaze switched back and forth between both males uncertainly, a low growl rumbling in her throat. She would of course defend the humans if Danger proved more of a threat, but after knocking Artemia down Danger hadn’t many another move to harm the twoleggers. Further brutality seemed unnecessary and left her feeling mildly uneasy.

{{Forgot to mention I changed his last name. Also forgot to actually edit that change in until now. Go me. Also thank you friend. I wouldn’t worry too much about your storytelling. It all looked marvelous to me!}}
