Akassa gave a shy nod. She wasn't use to being around other races. She shyly landed on the ground. "Yes, I'm a pegasus," she responded, though leaving off the fact that she was the queen. She didn't that that would be a safe thing to reveal. She wondered what she was suppose to say to the dragon girl. "What's your name?" she asked quietly. She wasn't really sure if she was suppose to leave or start a conversation. It had been a while since she had conversation with someone not of her own race. She knew that with that war going on that tension would be tough between any other race. She waited for the girl to respond.
Barkydle watched the phoenix closely as he looked around. When he heard him say that he had nothing to do with the deaths, he could tell that he was telling the truth. This, however, only made him even angrier. Who the hell had killed his men? He looked back at the phoenix. "What is your name?" he asked. He was wary of the phoenix, though he had no quarrel with them and neither did the harpie royals, that he knew of. If the phoenix didn't kill his men, maybe he could help him find who did. He would get revenge on whoever killed his scouting team. He valued each and every life in his command and would not let their deaths be in vain.
