Although he stated before that he would state things exactly as they happened to the guard, he did wonder at this point how his meeting would go. To cause fighting of course was never his goal. Stepping back after Chance's continued shows of affection, Erwan turned his attention to Hayden. "I am glad you still think highly of me after all this. I..."

Hayden mounted, clearly ready to leave.

Before he could command it, the dragon was already rushing off the ground, spreading his large wings above the trees before speeding straight for the capital city they called home.
