Dragon rp!

(Thank you!)

Rook chuckled softly at Phoenix joked. "I thought I would have grown a bit in that time." Rook glanced down at his feet. Rook grumbled as he was nudged back to his feet. "Where are we going to hunt?" He asked softly. His gaze scanned the surrounding forest. There didnt seem to be much to hunt here. Rook tested the air. Nothing but song birds, pine pitch, and snow. Those would not make much of a breakfast unless you were a plant eater.

Phoenix let out a rumble of laughter, “come, we’ll fly to the area I found that herd of deer earlier.” He said simply. And with that he pumped his wings until he was hovering just off the ground. He then simply scooped Rook up with all four of his legs. “Don’t worry I won’t drop you.” He said in reassurance before flying higher, going above the trees before beginning to travel in the direction he had gone in before. “Let me know if you see something I don’t alright?” He asked. His scales natural began to shift to match the blueish color of the sky.

((Ash if you want you could have Arkale stumble upon the same herd and they can all run into eachother there?

As he continued walking, Arkale all of a sudden smelled a series of new scents. Prey... He thought. He suddenly changed course and walked towards the source of the scent. If he could find the prey, he’d be set for a day or two!

Phoenix let out a rumble like purr at the thought of home, “maybe.” He said, “we don’t know it yet, but maybe we can also see our new home from here to Huh?” He asked. He kept flying for a few minuets before suddenly diving down upon spotting the tiny heard. He flew down almost silently, dropping Rook just a few feet before landing ahead of him. “There.” He said, crouching as he made himself blend into his surroundings. “In the field.” He whispered. “You go around the left. I’ll take the right. We pick off whichever are the weakest links. You scare them over me when I give you the signal okay?” He said, not waiting for an answer as he silently stalked off into the brush.

((K guess I’ll just work with just us rn

Phoenix crept around the clearing, keeping closer to the outskirts. He did know Arkale was so close by, focused completely on the herd. He felt hunger gnawing at his stomach, and he began to grow impatient. He looked out for Rook.

Phoenix grunted as he didn’t see Rook, but he suddenly noticed something else emerge from the brush sending the deer running. He growled, seeing the deer flee. He could waist time. He erupted from the brush and ran after the deer with daunting speed. He flew up into the air some before tackling two to the ground at the same time. He quickly killed them before looking to see what had caused the disturbance, hoping for Rook’s sake it wasn’t him. He tensed when he saw another dragon though. His pupils went to slits as he growled, going down on all fours again. He did glance around, looking to try finding Rook to see if he were alright.

Phoenix sized Arkale up, his tail lashing angrily. “You almost ruined our hunt.” He said, “you’re lucky I managed to get at least these two kills in!” He voice was low as he dug his claws into the dirt.

(sorry guys work kept me a bit later than usual!)
Rook had just crept around to the far side of the herd when suddenly a dragon had leaped out of no where. He was huge, well compared to himself. Rook leaped back just in time to not get trampled by the fleeing deer. He crouched low to the ground his pale white scales helping him blend in with the snow. He wasn't sure what to do at the moment as if this dragon attacked he would be done for.

“Me? Well, mostly around wherever I want to go. I don’t have a set territory, if that’s what you’re asking.” He replied, knowing some dragons were extremely territorial. “And I didn’t sense any markers in this area so I thought it was okay.” He added carefully. “If I may ask, you said ‘we’ as if there’s someone else with you. Is there?” He asked, more curious than anything.

Phoenix nodded calmly, “yes. One other.” He said. He then stepped a little to the side, looking back to where he had managed to spot Rook’s horns and mane. “There. He just blends in with the snow.” He said while pointing with his tail. “And you are right in that there were no markers around here because no one lives here. Who would want to with all this cold?”

Rook watched Arkale carefully as he tossed over one of the deer he had just caught. "Hello." He said softly. His ears flicked forward as the sent of fresh meat wafted over. Rook stood up slowly, he was still a bit unsure about this dragon. Rooks tail swayed back and forth as he waited for Phoenix to respond to this new dragon.

Arkale nodded in greeting g and his tail waved back and forth a bit to show he was happy. “Nice to meet you Phoenix.” He said, then looked over to Rook. “You can come over, little one. I don’t mean you any harm. That deer is for you by the way. My way of apologizing for interrupting your hunt.” He said.

Arkale watched as Rook stepped up to them and he nodded in respectful hello. He carefully looked the smaller male over, trying to think if he’d seen any dragons like him recently. He eventually shook his head and huffed. “No i haven’t. I’m sorry.” He said apologetically. “When were you separated from your family?”
