BronzewingNutria did not like it when their siblings ran off. “Porky? Guys?” they called into the Rainforest, mud squelching between their claws as they moved through the trees. Nutria had never liked the rainforest. It was dense and dark and utterly scary, in their mind, anyhow. Their scales themselves shuddered as they passed through a couple more trees, staying near to the border. RainWings were terrifying anyhow... “Guys?!” they called again, unwilling to take the next step into the darkness. Their ears flicked back, and the dragon turned in a quick circle. MudWings were supposed to be energetic creatures like their siblings, uncaring of the possible dangers and always ready to simply allow life to glance off of their thick scales. Nutria was not a dragon like that. Built skinny for their tribe; with talons more suited to writing than fighting, they suspected that it was some sort of birth defect that set them apart. Even Capybara, who liked to read on the sidelines, had a motormouth that Nutria did not share. How they wished they could have just been with them as they disappeared into the trees-maybe if they were a faster flier.. Maybe they were just playing pranks. A game. “..guys?” they called hesitantly; “I lost, okay, please come out..”

kingfishJump- fall. Jump again- fall again. Jump- swing out claws- reach up high...fall on your tail. Sabbatia was trying to climb a tree. But this wasn't like every other time she climbed a tree: she did that all the time, and this time she would do it without wings. She kept them folded tightly to her sides, the membranous limbs being rather unwieldy- but she hopped up yet again, reached out her claws, and missed the branch. It was a lot harder to climb than she had expected. She had already tried to climb up the tree like a squirrel, plunging her claws into the wood: but the tree didn't like having a MudWing on it, and once it started making cracking noises she got right off. She had decided to stop trying when she heard something in the bushes- she rapidly turned around. An angry RainWing? Would she get a face full of venom? Or maybe some other MudWings were around here...or maybe it was just an animal. Hopping around, she narrowed her eyes and peered into the bushes to see what was making the noise.

Nutria turned around again, almost like they were chasing their tail..but this was more a nervous gesture. Then...a tree started to shake. Just the branches clacking together made their scales stand on end, and the dragon’s wings extended slightly, as if to make them appear larger than life.
“Hello?” they called, ears flicking about. It was..probably a monkey, but they weren’t all too happy about that either, but maybe...”..Porky?” they ventured. Their brother was the smallest of the troop, perhaps it was him?

kingfishSabbatia turned to the voice- her ears folding against her sides in fear before perking back up, trying to listen to whatever they were trying to say. They had the familiar voice of a MudWing- and fellow MudWings always made her feel comfortable. They were her tribe, after all! "Hello?" she called back, hoping it wasn't one of those rare dangerous MudWings. "You're a MudWing, right? And...I don't know who that is." What sort of weird name was "Porky" anyway? She felt her tail nervously whack against the ground- although she was a large, strong dragon, she was still small among her own tribe.

Nutria looked over as the dragon emerged from the trees, feeling a wash of concern-until she realized the scales were wrong. None of her siblings..looked like that. Her ears pinned back. “Hi-uh, Yes. A-aren’t you? I’m uh- I’m looking for my sibs, they came through here..”!the dragon said, obviously deflating slightly as they realized that they weren’t their siblings. The grey-brown dragon tried to refrain from turning in nervous circles, ears flicking about. Bronzewing |

kingfishLooking over the other MudWing, she realized that she didn't recognize them- none of her own siblings, but maybe they were a dragon looking for their own siblings? After all,maybe one of her siblings was the unfortunately named Porky. "Well, I'm not one of them." she said with a twitch of her tail. "I haven't seen them either- actually, you're the first dragon I've seen here in a while." she admitted, folding her wings across her back with a sheepish look on her face. It always felt weird to be this close to the border- although she did want to figure out how to climb trees! It would be cool! Who cares that she can just fly up there- that took away the fun of it, and then you had to try to land exactly on the top... "Do...you want me to help you look for them? If you can't find them?" She looked back at the tree, then back to the other dragon. "I'm not busy."

Bronzewing“I uh-I noticed,” they said with a nervous chuckle, wings twitching closer to their sides. “Oh-I didn’t know that..any other dragons actually lived near here, I’m sorry if they...tore up your stuff or something, I’ve never been around here before-my sobs have, though! They said..they had something to show me earlier, but I’m not fast enough.” they said, ears drooping unhappily. “That would be..uh, pretty great,” Nutria said with a small smile, “I-If you’re not doing something, of course. It’s no biggie.” It was a biggie. At least, in their mind.

kingfishShe nodded, feeling rather awkward- and this time it wasn't because of her smaller size. "I don't actually live around here- I live far up by the river." she corrected, motioning with a claw. "It just gets so busy around there, so, I come down here...am I not allowed to?" She had never heard of some sort of rule against coming to the border- but of course, Sabbatia didn't even know every rule. Maybe there were some she was unknowingly breaking just by breathing! Oh no! "I don't have any stuff around here to tear up." she said with a shake of her scaly head. "But I can help either way- I don't have something else to do, and I need to get moving!" She flexed her wings, preparing for a possible flight. Finally she would be useful for once instead of dragons always asking her siblings for help!
