Kiel let Pepper go, dropped his head, and flared his wings, razor-sharp spines presented as far as they'd go. If she wanted to interpret his submissive body posture as a threat, he was prepared to defend himself. Pepper got well clear and silently prepared her magic. Kiel's battle strategy consisted of random wild flailing, but usually, it was enough. When Yadura relaxed, so did they. "Pepper cleaned and bandaged your friend's wound. I'm... Well... We're not mates if that's what you're thinking. She's my best friend."
Pepper landed lightly next to Kiel and wrapped the end of her tail around his ankle. "Hey. You know what? Yes I'm cheerful and hyper but it's not without effort. My entire birth-clan was butchered by roaming beasts and I had to watch my mother's body being eaten because if I came out of hiding I would have died and I was too small to make any sort of impact back then. It takes a special kind of strength to remain cheerful and optimistic even if you've seen how horrible other dragons and life and the gods themselves can be and I hope you'll find your peace again someday." She shrugged and whipped her head around, then waved to the orange Skydancer female, the Coatl, and the other shining Skydancer that seemed to be watching them. Kiel didn't like being out in the open like this.
