should the sky be filled with darkness and smoke

Totally fine! I figured this was after they sort of grouped up. Don't mind Alshain, he's a brat. :P

He is alone for only a short time, much to his irritation. The old man, Ookook or something ridiculous, emerges from the shadows to nose around in the undergrowth. Alshain rolls his head around to fix the old creature with a icy look. It was an incredibly poor farce; the old man had been suspicious of him since he joined up with Tonravik's rag-tag band of misfit warriors. The dragon huffs at the thought. From the fat child, to the untouched princess...

No sooner did the thought pass between his ears did Ivev emerge from the woodland. Alshain wrinkles his nose, and shifts so that his back is completely to them. Neither one of them had the gall to approach, so he merely lay petulantly in the pool like the brooding beast he was. He lifts his paw, watching the water drip from his claws, before submerging it in a deeper bit of water.

One ear cocks back at Ivev's voice, but he does not give them the pleasure of his full attention.
