Dragoncrest Cliffs hold on to the sky

I'll post with Eury tomorrow

He had wandered away to chat with some of the others that had gathered upon their arrival--really, he just wanted to talk to Helix, but she was tied up with whatever business the burly guy had. Speaking of. . . Something about his demeanor seemed slightly off to Verx, but perhaps that was just the swagger he loved so much in himself and resented in other males. Made them competition. Blegh.

But as he drew a little closer, his ear swiveled to catch some words that weren't kosher, and he abruptly broke off his conversation to come to Heda's side, fixing his bicolored eyes on the stranger. He sucked in his breath at the stranger's accusation, looking almost gleefully at the commander as he waited for her to tear him apart.

It didn't come, though--only a verbal warning. Disappointing, although he supposed it was better to keep peace that way. Maybe he'd fight back. A beat after her rebuke, his lips curled in a snarl. Get out, he echoed softly, a chiding shadow to his Heda.

He was sure he could handle this fucking joker, even if he did have muscles on his muscle.
