"Admittedly, it's not well, some see them holding festivals with the Sandwings as a kind of offense, how they celebrate with our 'enemies', I do not know how things will shape from here, but, it is hard to say if it will remain positive."

"I somewhat suspect that someone of importance will come clamoring for us to cut ties completely until things calm, it is impossible to say however."

*She imagined that the question was directed due to the conflict between the Skywings and Mudwings, she didn't know the full story though, and didn't want to presume,* "You are allies with the Mudwings, if I recall, I, do not know much about the conflict between the Skywings and Mudwings, the tension with the Sandwings has drawn most of our attention. How are things there?"

"That's unfortunate. Hopefully your trade routes will make the SkyWings reconsider." She said, doubting her words. SkyWings were known to be a stubborn tribe and with good reason.

"The SkyWings are taking an interest in King Cordovan's territory," She said, recalling their latest meeting, breifly wondering whether he and Queen Nyx had met up yet. "The poor thing hasn't been the same since his son passed." She shook her head, frills drooping, greying in empathy for her ally. "I haven't talked to the SkyWings, though I think he's mentioned sightings along the border."

"He's coping," She reassured quickly, yet couldn't help the green fill her frills, obviously concerned for him.

"If the Sky and SandWings become close, I fear the accesible weapons- venom can only do so much for dragonflame cacti- and if it breaks into a wild fire," She didn't finish her sentence, shaking her head. The Rainforest held alot of moisture, so it wasn't the greatest threat, yet the explosions were still costly and lives were at the expense.

"As, much as it pains me to say, I, worry, about how the King will act about this, if conflict comes from both sides toward us, our entire land border will be taken up by hostiles, and, though our frostbreath has a better chance of extinguishing the flames of the dragonflame cactus, the detonation alone would be, devastating."

*She didn't know exactly what colors meant which, but Queen Azalea's concern for her friend and ally was plain to see,* "Next time you see him, would you pass on a message of condolences from me? I know it is presumptuous for me to ask that of a Queen, of another tribe or not, but, I doubt he would get much the same from King Hyperborean," *Snowstorm's face fell slightly, the worry about her King's actions overwhelming her.*

"Still, if we can manage this, maybe we can prevent it, to stop the fighting before it can begin."

|| Did you want to continue this, or do you think this is a good stopping point?

She sighed at her situation. "I wish I could be of more help, especially since the SkyWings do border us... In some sense anyway." An idea popped into her mind, relaying it excitedly, "If your allience with the SkyWings is broken, I can always supply medical eqiupment-" RainWings didn't have the best medical supplies, atleast when compared to the NightWings, but a cool salve was sure to do more good than bad- and don't worry about trade routes," She said before Snowstorm could say a word.

"We will use our strengths to our advantage," She said, spreading her wings and camoflauging to show her point, the only thing shown is the furred cloak, 'reappearing' moments later. Yet this time, her scales were red, a nice flare to the topic, she felt.

"Of course," She said, dipping her head slightly. She made no mention of how tired he was and the alliences he was going to make- that was his busisness, even if she did overshare a little earlier.

*The General nodded,* "A contingency plan, if things turn out poorly is never a bad thing, but I know for sure that I will be trying to talk to the Skywings. Only problem is that I will need the King's leave to do so, I doubt he will let me intentionally contact a Queen, I can at least explain away meeting you Queen Azalea."

*She turns to look out a window for a moment,* "No matter what happens, in the coming days, know that you have my faith. I do not think it will be long before King Hyperborean causes some kind of incident, intentional or not, he..." *She stopped herself for a moment.*

"He is not a good dragon, he does as he pleases, and cares nothing for the consequences, I do not know the full extent, but I have heard what others say about him," *She lowered to a whisper, just enough for the Queen and her Guards to hear,* "Once we part, keep yourself safe, I will be trying my best here, but I don't know if I alone am enough."

Her colours became muted as she learned of Snowstorm's circumstances, frills drooping. She was also quite surprised about her ill talk about the King, but made no effort to scold her, instead creasing her brows in concern for her wellbeing and kingdom- especially as she lowered her voice to a whisper. "My friend," She began, holding eye contact as she reached for the General's talons. "You alone can start for change. Whether or not the King listens, you can advocate for change for the better of the kingdom. Someone will listen- force them too. Just be careful under the kings eyes. Doubtless he'd have them everywhere."

*She knew she shouldn't say much about her King, but, beliefs on the nature of Kings aside, she could barely stand it,* "I know it's not my place to say these things about my King, but, I have served many Queens and Kings, and after Queen Curlew," *She paused, noticing Queen Azalea's colors shifting, she, felt bad for causing such a reaction.*

*She saw the Rainwing Queen reach out to her talon, she didn't resist or pull away, the differences in their body temperatures were, quickly apparent, the warmth, kind of felt nice, even though she knew her friend would get colder just for the contact. With a nod, she responded,* "Yes, I have to be the change I wish to see, not just for the Icewings, or the Ice Kingdom, but for Pyrrhia itself. I cannot give up, on myself, on my people, nor on my King."
