Oathkeeper smiled cheerfully at Bard as he stepped inside, pulling Autumn after him. "Wow, thank you so much!" He turned to face the Snapper after he and Autumn were fully inside. "We were out wandering in the snow for what felt like forever! What luck, that we would stumble into your fine cave!" Oathkeeper gave him a toothy, enthusiastic smile.

Autumn took a look around the room. 'What a cozy little cave,' she thought. She appreciated the warmth from the fire. She felt it seeping back into her scales. "I hope the storm passes soon."

As Xander watched Vaccine settle down he carefully edged around the green dragon, making sure not to disturb him in any way. He went to stand by Bandit, who was busy making a disgusted face at the claw now on the floor. She opened her mouth to spew forth some sort of insult but Xander covered the pearlcatcher's snout with a talon, using his wings to block the view of other dragons.
"Stop being an idiot before someone gets killed. Bard has been kind enough to let us into his home, and you better not screw that up mate." He hissed into her ear firmly, yet not unkind. He released Bandit, who now looked to be pouting.
"Fine." The young pearlcatcher said haughtily, curling into a tight ball around her silvery pearl facing the wall. She fell asleep fast, her quiet breaths even and deep. She actually looked like a nice dragon when she was sleeping, but her expressions when she was awake usually proved that wrong. Xander shook his head, lying down inches away from the young dragon. He layed his head on his talons, keeping a careful eye on the other dragons in the house. He wouldn't risk sleeping in the presence of Vaccine.

"Ah, thank you Bard." Cotton replied, giving the dragon a weak smile.

Taking the sparrowmouse, but not eating it quite yet, she slumped down a bit. Listening to Whisper, she shook her head and said: "I'm not sure that'd you'd be able to find, I have hidden well, and since the winds blew far off course, I wouldn't be even able to tell you what direction to look in. And you really shouldn't risk yourself in these snows!"

Whisper gave Cotton a dry smile. "I can handle the cold a little bit more than...most."

She glanced around the cave. "It is getting a bit cramped as well. I'll be back soon." She turned and slipped out the door, closing it quickly to prevent the cold from entering. Launching herself into the air, she headed away from the cave, flying low in order to spot anything in the snow.

Jasper yawned, her maw opening wide and exposing her pearly-white fangs. "It's been an exhausting day and it's getting really dark," she remarked to no one in particular. "I'm gonna go to bed." She curled up around herself, tucking her face into speckled black fur.

Bard sat down beside Cotton, intently listening to her conversation with Whisper but beginning to settle down. He stayed awake in case anyone else came a-knocking, but found himself wanting to enjoy this unexpected company by being a bit sociable."It would be very unwise to go out in this storm, even for an icy dragon like yourself. We can look for the bag in the morning when this blizzard clears up more." He seemed to have not been heard, however, because Whisper went careening off anyway. "W-wait!" But she was gone. He sighed to himself. "It would be murder to go after her. My flying is shoddy anyway, and I'd become a Snapsicle in an instant if I went out there in this weather." He flopped down, already so attached to his new guest. "I just hope she knows what she's doing."

Vaccine was not intent on sleeping. The old lug Ammanas was asleep now, and it would be so easy for him to snatch that pretty little flask of his when his guard is let down so. There was just one problem, though, as Vaccine looked towards where he felt a gaze on him.
Xander.
They locked eyes and Vaccine knew that stealth was completely out of the question when Xander was so suspicious of him. Even if Xander just met Ammanas, Vaccine was quite sure that the ever-so righteous Skydancer would take any opportunity to undermine him, and the theft he was trying to accomplish would not change that. Xander seemed wide away and on-guard, but everyone cracked eventually.
Now, Vaccine had to play the waiting game.
