Aloe blushed "th-thanks,but I found someone. But I did enjoy the
kiss" Aloe kissed Blackberry back, but meant it as a friendly
gesture "how does it feel to be kissed?"
Snowstroller returned to the beach after a long flight. Still
tired, she noticed sat on the ground and noticed Cryo, slowly
walking up to him. "You... Awake? I was... worried."
"What offering from the void could usurp the gift of life
already given? This place, right here! Is where we are meant to
be."
Nightmare, to Aloe: *Nightmare's eyes widen a bit.* No,
I-I didn't mean we had dragonets when we were 6! I meant that I
asked Buzzard out on our first date when we were 6.
Relationships aren't meant to be rushed, and you've only been
together for a few days at most. I suggest waiting at least a year,
and if the relationship is still going well by then, you can
propose if you're really sure you want to. …Don't tell Autumn I
told you this. *He winks at Aloe as Stargazer sits next to Cryo and
Autumn comes back with Lotus, still holding the small tree in her
arms.*
Stargazer, to Cryo: Yeah, you uh… Well, to put it bluntly,
you basically had a crashout.
Axolotl's POV
Axolotl, to Starfruit: …Dooooo you wanna go back to the
beach? Oh, um, I also have something to tell you. *She takes a
deep breath, steeling herself.* I'm an animus. Yeah, I've been
one since I hatched. Please don't tell anyone I don't want to know
yet, okay? *She picks up a seashell.*
Axolotl: I enchant this seashell to turn into a small
likeness of Starfruit. *The seashell distorts and changes shape in
her hands until it looks like a figurine of Starfruit. Axolotl
gives it to her and a small smile tugs at her lips.*
Aloe continues talking the Nightmare telepathically [O-oh! I didn't
know. I-I feel embarrassed for saying that. It's just that, I love
Autumn. But I should listen to you and follow your advice. So I
will date Autumn for a year, a-and maybe I'll be ready. I-I should
focus on not rushing our date. I-I’m sorry for not paying
attention] Aloe blushed with embarrassment
Lotus giggles, she whispers to Autumn “good luck with your date”
Blackberry blushed, she suddenly spoke to Aloe and Nighmare.
[“you do know I have heard this whole conversation, right? I can
read minds too, don’t talk about it with anyone except Toucan and
eachother.”]
Stingray: *After a little less than an hour of swimming,
Stingray arrived back at the Deep Palace. He took a moment to
admire the architecture before diving in.* I've… I've spent so much
time reading and writing scrolls in the library that I'd almost
forgotten how beautiful the palace is… *He made his way inside and
propped up his glasses before heading towards Axolotl's room to
check on her.*
Stargazer's POV
Nightmare: Blackberry, please don't tease him, he's just
asking for advice.
Stargazer: I wish I knew how to give romantic advice, but
I've never had a crush on anyone. I mean, Frostbite clearly
likes me, but I'm not sure if I feel the same way about him… *She
looks at the trio of NightWing hybrids, unsure if she should speak
up.* I… I feel like I should say something, but what? *Her
expression turns a bit uneasy as she realizes something.* Wait,
they can all hear me. They know I can hear them. That means they
know now that I'm a mindreader. Oh, I hope I can trust them to keep
it a secret. I might need to tell the others soon so that they
won't distrust me for not telling them personally…
Autumn, to Lotus: Thanks. Your son is a nice dragon, by the
way.
Corvid's POV
*He backs up when the new dragon approaches, but quickly
recognizes her.
Corvid: …Raven!
Raven: Yep! Where were you? Midnight here was looking for
you. *She gestures to the crow sitting on Corvid's
shoulder.*
Aloe stands next to Autumn, his tail accidentally wraps around
her.he starts making happy dragon sounds.he notices and blushed
"O-oh! I-I-I-I didn't mean to do that! My tail accidentally wrapped
around you. I-I-I-" Aloe didn't know what to say. He covers his
face with his wings. Aloe talks to Star gazer telepathically ["It's
okay to be nervous, I will help you find someone. I promise.I don't
want to see you get heartbroken if you get rejected. Maybe we could
date? I mean, I'm dating Autumn. But I think it's probably okay to
have two girlfriends. I'm not very good with relationships, but I
can try. Maybe we could be best friends if you feel uncomfortable
dating?. This frostbite might not be good match for you.but if you
ever feel sad,I'm there to support you. Sorry if this feel
weird,I'm not good with starting conversations"]
Lotus giggles as she saw her son stand next to Autumn
Blackberry’s tail and wings drooped and she started to cry.
[Blackberry’s mind:“I-I just wanted to let you guys know that we
c-can talk to eachother through our m-minds…”]
“Who made my little sister cry?” Toucan said angrily as his scales
turned red.
Nightmare:*The huge NightWing flared his wings and
stepped back when Blackberry started crying.* I- I'm sorry,
I'm so sorry! A-all I did was calmly tell her not to tease
Aloe! *He cranes his head down to make eye contact with
Blackberry.* I-I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to scare you
or- I couldn't- I-I- *He looks at his blood-stained claws
in a panic and folds his wings tighter against his back.*
Nightmare: Good going, monster. You just made another
innocent, helpless, happy dragonet cry. Bloodmoon was right,
you're never going to fully be the helpful, friendly, caring
dragon you want to be. There'll always be a small part of that old
ruthless assassin inside you…
Stargazer, to Aloe: …I keep saying I don't feel the same
about Frostbite, but he's the kindest IceWing I've ever met. *She
looks at Snowstroller.* …Well, pure IceWing. And there's the
way his eyes shine like the sunny sky…
Autumn:*Autumn flinches when Aloe touches her with his
tail and reflexively tries to smack it away as a default reaction
to being touched without permission, but looks at him to make sure
it didn't come across as rude.* Oh! S-sorry, I didn't mean to,
that was a reflex…
