Sleeping Dragon Topaz

His ears splay, and he soon steadies them with a nod. Her waving tail almost threatens to distract him. "I could be ready soon enough," he agrees with a small curve of a grin. He's a little hesitant to go right right away because of the pups, and knowing that Thuringwethil and Toxochelys have gone out recently. With Gavriel here too, he's a lot less concerned. But, because of annoyances like Larksong, he'd at least like to know where the others were for sure before he set out so he wouldn't be vacating a necessary post in the meantime. "There would be a few things I would want to make sure of before going, but that wouldn't take long to get in order," he added. "So long as things continue to stay quiet," Dio nodded and picked up a slow rhythm to his own tail. She seemed understanding of the nature of his duties here, making sure to mention that this was if he had time -- but it was his suggestion, ultimately. He.. appreciated that.
