Ethan felt her moving around, glancing back ar her. "Do you see them?" He asked in a kinda satiated tone. He glanced around at the dragons, then Keith on his horse. Zeus was slowly regaining his senses and becoming less clumsy looking in his walk.

"No. But I can tell they're getting closer. Zeus needs to wake up fast, because I dont know if we can fend them off 3 plus a dragon to fifty. Especially out in the open like this." She watched the woods intently. "I know my brother. And its likely he'll do anything to get the jump on us. They could be hiding just far enough in those trees to wait until they have a good ambush point."

Ethan looked at Zeus, he was trying to wake up, but that was stuff was strong. "You know he can't help it right?" He asked Asta in a defensive tone. He glared ahead, a fast mood swing. Zeus was visibly perking up, and picking up the pace. So did Ethan. He was glad to see Zeus was feeling stronger. Zeus grumbled at Castor and shoved him away, feeling sturdy on his own.

Castor flapped his wings at the sudden shove and snorted in offense. Asta turned to Ethan putting an edge on her voice. "I know that. I never said it was. Same side, remember?" Keith watched the couple snap at each other warily. Castor took a tentative step closer to Zeus like he was unsure what to do.

Zeus snorted, gaining his personality in body language. Ethan ignored Asta, he thought about snapping back something that might hit a nerve that couldn't be fixed. But decided hostility was frowned upon. Zeus rolled back his wings in a stretch. He was still out of it and knew he couldn't fly yet. That didn't mean he didn't want to though.

Asta glared at the trees intensely. "I think Ill walk." She slipped off the horse and stared at the trees while they moved. She walked to stand beside Keith and his horse. Keith cleared his throat. K "So. Uhm. How did you guys meet?" He attempted to break the ice, getting no response from Asta.

He sighed looking back at Asta for a moment, then at Keith. He waited for Asta before he spoke. "She came to the sanctuary for safety I'm assuming and I was assigned to kinda be her mentor." He said in a calm tone, even and he hoped it sounded upbeat.

Keith nodded. K "So. You're... what do you do again?" He narrowed his eyes at Ethan. Classic protective brother mode. Asta pinched his leg and then continued staring behind them.

He gave Keith an amused expression. "I sorta work at the school." He looked back ahead, adjusting his speed because Zeus was moving a little faster now.

Keith glared at him. K "Sorta? Do you get paid? Is that a decent job? What. Does. Sorta. Mean?" Asta let out a snicker at her 18 year old brother trying to judge... Ethan.
