Adelaide cocked her head slightly as Tyler walked to the cave. She looked down at the small dragon in her lap, cooing she said "Well aren't you the sweetest little thing I have ever laid eyes on...don't tell Tyler I said that though." she giggled softly and bopped a finger to Volcano's nose. Looking up Adelaide saw Tyler walk out of the cave, looking...worried? He came up to her and sliced the rope that had been tied around her off, "What?" she thought to herself. Adelaide stood up, making sure to carefully place Volcano back on the ground, "Wait, wh-" an ear-splitting screech pierced through the space around them. Adelaide's head whipped around to face the cave, "Rafal?", right when she had finished saying his name she saw a pair of green eyes coming shockingly fast at her and Tyler. The giant black dragon roared and continued charging, and Adelaide was almost certain her ears were bleeding. Rafal was only a couple yards away, he was going to kill...no doubt about it unless she did something... She sent a quick glance to Tyler, almost apologetic before running into the black dragon's path. Adelaide met Rafals eyes, which seemed to slightly toon down his range, when he was a couple of feet away from her Rafal stopped and growled. "Rafal," Adelaide gave a warning glare before clearing her throat and speaking sternly, "Stop.". And he did...

Tyler looked up as he heard a screech of anger. -not how I imagined myself dying- he thought, watching the black dragon zoom towards him. He flinched, looking up as he heard a low growl. As Tyler opened his eyes he was amazed by two things. One: His dragons listened to his order and didn't disobey him... which was rare. Two: Rafal... hadn't eaten him. He was still alive, and the giant black dragon was stopped. Tyler forced himself to breath, glancing around. He opened his mouth to say something, then stopped, closing it again. Tyler had a feeling of ... yeah he was terrified as he looked into Rafal's green eyes. "... Thank you ..." he said quietly, glancing at Adelaide then looking back to the big dragon that was staring right at him with very deadly looking green eyes. Tyler mentally nicknamed him Lucifer. He didn't really know what else to say... I mean, he did kidnap Adelaide and Rafal. She could have just stood by and let the dragon... burn him to a crisp. Tyler didn't really understand why Adelaide saved him... but she did, and he was grateful. -It might be so she can murder me herself- Tyler thought with a Wince

Rafal was going to be mad at her, Adelaide didn't usually do that. She hadn't done it because she had liked any one of them, Adelaide just knew nobody should die by being burnt to a crisp. Adelaide hadn't seen Rafal that angry since... the day she was supposed to tame him. She had a cut on her nose from when a spike of the black dragon had nearly impaled her. "Rafal, you should go and do something...hunt maybe? You haven't eaten since this morning," the sky had been getting dark and she suspected it would be setting soon. "I don't trust them...at all, Im not leaving you alone again," Rafal said in a low growl, but quietly. "Well that's really sweet and all, but I don't think they are going to be doing anything with me after what you just did. And how I saved their friend's butt." Adelaide chuckled and the black dragon sighed, pausing for a moment, and then nodded. "I'll be back soon, call me if they try anything," Rafal sent a glare toward the other dragon, "Will do buddy." and then Rafal had taken off, flying into the forest. Adelaide watched him go before turning to Tyler and his dragons, "You can relax now, it usually takes him a couple of hours before he gets anything good to eat.".

( I put a link for a more accurate for Adelaide's appearance! )

Tyler opened his mouth, going to say something... then he closed it again. He flinched slightly as Rafal spoke. However strong and Cunning, or rude and merciless Tyler did seem at times.... on the inside he really... wasn't. The thought of dying like that scared him just as much as it would scare someone else. Well, Maybe not that much but still. As Rafal flew off Tyler managed to say, "...traps..." He was still pretty stunned.

-

Icicle's head snapped up and she shot after the black dragon. "RAFAL" she screeched. "THERE ARE TRAPS" she was no where as near as big as him... he was around 70 feet and she was 30. Which meant he had more power... but she could go faster. Icicle beatbox her wings faster and pulled in front of him, ready to be run over.... or stabbed.... or burned... "Stop stop stop!" She squeaked, closing her eyes

-

"ICICLE!" Tyler bellowed, looking up. He had no doubt Rafal would just shove her aside... and probably injure her while doing it. None of the traps were deadly or even painful, just dragon proof giant traps. Icicle should have just let Rafal get caught... Tyler knew he could hop on a dragon and go up there to help... but Rafal might see that as an aggressive move... and act aggressively.

-

(I saw the link! Super cool)

Adelaide laughed as the smaller dragon yelled to Rafal about there being traps. Yeah, she knew that traps were a bit dangerous but..." Rafal will have to go a bit further away if he wants to find any food, he prefers cattle so he will need to be looking away from the forest." Adelaide said calmly. "Icicle, was it? Rafal will be fine! He has done this many times before, doesn't worry." she shouted up toward the dragon that was in front of Rafal. She heard Rafal snort in amusement and continued flying away, he hadn't seemed to care about Icicle's statement. "Well, now we just have to wait for him to come back," Adelaide to face Tyler, "Thank you for taking the rope off me." she gave what looked like a ghost of a smile. "Though I guess if you didn't Rafal would've killed you...but either way, thank you.".

Tyler worked his jaw back and forth, not mentioning this was literally his home so there were traps in a ring around it, in the sky, on the ground, and anywhere else you went. Rafal would run into one whether he wanted to or not.

-

Icicle glanced down, muttering something. She landed slowly, staying and almost cowering behind Revenge, near Phantom.

-

Tyler clenched his teeth for a moment. "You have a point." He answered quietly after listening to her comment. He was still turning over the fact he was alive... and that was very, very good.

-

Fury held back a growl, glaring at Adelaide. She felt there was something suspicious about the girl...

-

Tyler waited for a another second, deciding what to do. He didn't really want to turn his back on Adelaide... that could possibly be life threatening. His gaze got turned down to Volcano, who was circling the girl.

-

Volcano yipped and ran in a circle around this strange girl. She had a weird dragons scent on her... Mayberry he would want to play!

Adelaide sighed and looked down to see little Volcano running around her legs, she laughed and crouched down so she was practically sitting on the floor. "Hey Volcano, I don't think the other dragons here like me very much," she whispered, a smile crossing her face as the little dragon yipped. It was understandable why the grown dragons here had mixed feeling about her, she did intrude into their territory and said some threatening things to their friend. Adelaide turned to look at Tyler, "He's very cute, very social from the looks of it. I have only seen wyvern hatchlings before. How old is he?". Volcano still looked to be a baby...but for all she knew about dragons, he could be ancient.

Tyler still felt uneasy about the little dragon being.. right there, but there was nothing he could do about it. He tipped his head slightly, watching as Volcano hopped up and licked Adelaide's nose. "He is... very social. Volcano is 5 years old right now." Tyler said quietly. He could kind of tell what mixed feelings were radiating off his dragons. Tyler didn't know why... but for some reason he had bred the meanest dragons in all of his region. Revenge was terrifying, Fury was scary, Titan was murderous... he didn't understand how. Then his lines totally changed. Icicle was kind, Phantom was quiet, and Volcano was social. Right now... Revenge was thinking about how she wanted to rip Rafal apart and feed him to Orcas. Okay then... Fury was thinking about how she wanted to rip Adelaide's head off, stuff it down Rafal's throat, and feed Rafal's head to some lions. Titan was thinking about how he wanted to eat Adelaide... and Icicle was thinking about how Volcano was getting along so well with Adelaide. Phantom was thinking about how .. kind Adelaide was being, even though she didn't have to be... And Volcano was thinking about everything. His brain was very. Very. Very hard to read. Tyler was slightly disgusted by his older dragons thoughts. Who thinks lile that anymore?

Adelaide smiled, "You are still a baby then!" she giggled when Volcano licked her nose. She pet the small dragon's head before standing up and looking at the 4 dragons watching, some of them glaring at her. Adelaide looked away and cleared her throat, "Well," she stretched the last part and looked around, "this is going to sound weird but...do you need help with anything? Like cleaning...?". She liked being put to work, especially while her only company had gone hunting. "Really, I'm fine with anything. It'll sorta be like my...apology for how I um- threatened or whatever I did.". Adelaide didn't really ever apologize because she never really needed to, but she had a feeling that she was going to apologize sooner or later. She couldn't just...not, yes Adelaide was cold but she couldn't just do something bad without apologizing. Rafal on the other hand, might never apologize for what he had done...it was in his nature not to!

Tyler glanced at Adelaide. He hid his slight confusion very well, keeping his face emotionless. He half understood why she offered... I meanness she did threaten to cut his hands off, then changed that threat to cutting his head off. "I don't think I need any help right now." He said slowly, turning and walking to a firepit he had made himself. Tyler grabbed some tinder and branches from the cave, slowly piling them up and getting ready to start a fire. It was getting colder out... they might need it. The only dragon that radiated heat in his was Revenge... and Tyler was half certain if he sat near her she might turn the heat up till she cooked him. Then she would laugh... so Tyler decided a fire would be the better choice. After the fire was built Tyler gestured to it, looking at Adelaide before walking a Little ways away and looking through his bag. He found some black leather gloves and put them on, walking back and looking up into a giant oak tree near the firepit. The first branch was probably in between 7.5 and 8 feet up... almost impossible to jump to. Yet Tyler was tall... and used to jumping. He leapt up, catching the branch with one hand, just barely. He heaved the rest of his body into the tree, sitting in a crook in the branches.
