He hummed a different tune to before, pausing to get some sand off from his tongue before continuing. His wings kept rather close to his body as well, but a rather odd pattern could be seen on the back of them- a blotchy snake, but still recognizably a snake nonetheless. Or maybe a worm...? It was a bit hard to tell since his wings were tucked up, but it was some sort of serpentine shape. It didn't look like it could have been a tattoo or anything. It seemed like it was a birth mark, perhaps from an accident or something as he hatched. He looked like he was in his own little world, completely tuning out the marketplace around him. He had rings on the claws on his wing arm thing, but they were close to his head- he'd probably see. He had quite a few piercings on his sail, multiple of which had chains connecting them. A lot of them, if not all, looked to be of pure iron. There weren't any jewels or gems embedded in any of them, but they looked expensive nonetheless. He paused once again, shifting to sit a bit more comfortably on his carpet and clean a very tiny amount of blood from the dragon's bicep. He asked them something that couldn't really be heard, but was probably something along the lines of 'are you alright?' before continuing with his work once again.

Dust Devil suddenly thanked the merchant, her decision made on what to steal. Many of what the dragon wore was golden, perhaps some iron, yes, but most was pierced into his sail, or rings that laid somewhat impossible to drag off. Considering this, there wasn't much she could steal, say for the gold plate on his barb, intreuging her. She walked over, unnoticing to the necklace considering his position. Assessing the pros and cons in her head, she decide to go for it, compromising to herself that if she did not take the plate laid on his barb in her attempt, she'd grab something else, afterall, what could go wrong? - Stalking around, she noticed the necklace but was too stubborn to go back on her plans. She wandered casually near his curled tail, then reached a claw up and pulled at the gold plate.

He didn't seem to notice that she was even there for the longest time, but the straps that were keeping the plate on didn't immediately come off, tugging at his Barb a bit. His ears perked up, and he completely paused, not wanting to harm his customer. He then just shrugged it off, seemingly assuming that his plate was just a little loose. He pulled his tail closer to him, curling it further to prevent the plate from falling off since he didn't want to put his ink down and risk it spilling while he adjusted it.

She almost winced at the movement, drawing her arm back. She stabled herself with a wing, temporarily putting her arm down to regain balance. She was glad of the warm sand disguising her step. Moving slightly forward, she moved her arm forward again, lifting a talon, showing a white claw and swiping at the leather strapping. She sawed at it a couple times until the tense leather loosened and she had a hold of the barb. She probably should've slunk away then, getting lost in the crowds then cackle at the unfortunate dragon. But that was no fun. She simply stilled, waiting to see his inevitable reaction to him losing the plate.

Snakebite went about his job as per usual after that, but hesitated as he slowly realized what happened. He set the ink down a bit away from him. He was luckily just finished with the tattoo, and wrapped it with those weird tattoo bandages.
"Excuse me one second."
He smiled to his customer, before slowly turning to stare at Dust Devil with a raised brow.
"Now, excuse *You*. What in the moons do you think you're doing?"
He huffed, but was honestly intrigued as to what she really did think she was doing.
Anthony
She audibly yawned, giving a bored face as she examined the bigger SandWing. "Waiting for *You* To realise this was missing! I mean- how long does it take to realise something weighty is missing? Some dragons." She shook her head, dangling it by the strap. She held it teasingly, but far enough away so she could dodge a swipe at it. "I shoulda taken something like ya necklace." She said, then was automatically tempted to swipe it, her eyes gleaming.
David
Snakebite be like: Swiper no swiping!
Keith
He stared at her blankly, ear twitching in slight annoyance.
"Okay. Well, considering my Barb is fully exposed now thanks to you, I'd suggest giving that back. I don't have any qualms with using it, and I certainly don't have any qualms with figuring out who your parents or bosses are, young dragon."
He had a stern voice. He was giving Disappointed Dad Vibes right now. He sighed heavily, shaking his head and carefully wiping the ink from his talon.
"And, I wouldn't suggest that, either. I'm pretty beefy, and even a viper couldn't kill this dragon."
He tapped a talon on his face, which looked scarred from a dragonbite viper bite, right to his muzzle. Dangerously near his brain.
Anthony
She laughed, cackling like a crazed hyena as he scolded her. Between breathy laughs, she managed: "You.. Sir, are funny." She laughed more, so much so she half wondered if she'd die from it. Regaining most of her composure as best she could, she examined the mark, managing a laugh before she said, "Well there you go, stronger than life itself ey?" She asked, slightly slinking away.
