Sleeping Dragon virtue before sin

With his presence on the boundaries attentive and steady, he's noticed the new scents and then grown curious in their wake. Guests, yes, but to what reason precisely? He sensed a greater plan a play here, or perhaps some scheme spanning to times and worlds unknown to him -- all of which he was evidently not privy to as a peon of the Dragon. It is still not something he feels particularly inspired to accept wholeheartedly with just his nose telling him that strangers wandered among them so casually. Not yet.

So, he tracks beneath the moonlight until his search yields him that and just a bit more. Dio recognizes the mixbreed and does not approach with the same fervor he does. Instead, he prefers to watch them play out first. He hangs back and watches the shadow adjust her course to acknowledge Hush, and since Dio's own arrival is not marked with any speed, he looms upon them in silence. He turns his ears their way and finds his tail arcing subtly at the sight of the half-lift to her own tail, over what he has come to know as his own turf no less. Dio says nothing, then glances between them to see how Hush, a wolf he knew was devoted to their defenses as well, may be handling this.
