Azarias watched Allandra, wondering what she was thinking. He shifted from one foot to the next, not feeling all that comfortable just standing here in enemy territory the way he was. Silence was one thing when it was mutually agreed upon, but when one fell silent around another expecting some sort of reply, an objection, anything for that matter, it was a little off putting. He was glad when she finally said something, even more so when she admitted to him being right.<br/><br/>Smart girl, he thought. She knew when to let things go instead of furthering the argument simply for the sake of not wanting to admit to being wrong. Azarias couldn't count the number of times he had been in a heated argument with another who was clearly in the wrong but couldn't say so. Often they were forced to simply because of his status as a prince, anyone who disagreed with either of them on just about anything was sentenced to some cruel punishment or imprisonment. It was never very satisfying to win those arguments.<br/><br/>The prince was pulled from his musings when a sharp tug on the chains binding him forced him to take a step forward or risk falling to the dirt at his feet. He didn't avert his gaze as Allandra told him of their next steps, hardly batting an eye as she looked into his own dark gaze. The dark dragon was forced to hold back a growl as he was tugged along, moving to follow the faerie dragon as she led him to the shrine. He glared at her back, scowl once more in place on his face with very little effort required on his part.<br/><br/>Azarias could feel the power growing as they got closer to this shrine. What kind of power did this thing hold? How had he not heard of such a thing before? Azarias' mind raced with such questions as the pair walked, the chains rattling ever so often. The prince's gaze had fallen to the ground below as they walked, but quickly returned to Allandra's back when she spoke. He smirked at her mention of defending him. He wasn't powerless by any means, and was more than capable of defending himself should an attack occur. He wasn't some helpless child in need of protection, he wouldn't have ventured anywhere near this place had he been. In his annoyance, the black dragon did not miss the mention of Allandra's kind, or the lack of a conclusion to that sentence. He would have to work on prying later.<br/><br/>Questions he could answer, that wasn't the problem.<br/><br/>"You don't need to pull me around like some dim-witted animal." He growled, voicing his annoyance at this gesture.
