Thorin//tags: cavern
The core dragon narrowed his eyes at his friend's words, hissing a quiet but purposefully sarcastic, "I really don't know... It isn't like my blood is magma or anything...?" He tilted his head back, unable to conceal his smirk. The drake slowly heated himself up a bit, though not so much to hurt Afro. He did, however, decided to stretch like a dog with his talons out front just to see if the other would be able to stand on. "You know, I think my legs are starting to feel like jelly..." He joked.

Lukas//tags: Pandora
Lukas sighed at the dragon's initial reaction, standing up as straight as he could with his soft tail tip flicking from side to side like a cat's. The hatchling had scampered to the wall and used a rather impressive technique to hide, and for a moment Lukas' pupils thinned. Had she been one of the ones earlier that tried to sneak out of the cavern first? It would explain the response to Lukas' presence- his thoughts were quickly diminished at her lack of control of the ability and his stance softened yet again. His eyes stood out in the stark darkness, having taken on a sort of torquoise glow in the dark, and he watched the younger dragon carefully while she calmed. The elder dragon puffed out a small icy breath, the tiny crystals glinting off of the teal light. 'I suppose I should have introduced myself better,' he said telepathically now. 'Don't worry, mind speak is one of my powers. If you cannot yet talk then you can just think your response. Anyway, I am Lukas, one of the first to hatch. I mean no harm and will likely step in if there is a problem, ask me if you are confused about anything, all that. Currently you are on the path to the outer world with some potential dangers, so if you did not hear my words before... The ground is unstable at points, which I may be able to fix, but still be careful.' The pale blue-striped beast finished his mental introduction with ears flat to his head, annoyed at having introduced himself at least a few times already. He supposed that it had come with his self-taken role to help guide some of the other dragons, but at this point he was a bit impatient to move forward.
