For a moment, Kiriei was completely flabbergasted by the response they received. Everything else about this place had been rather warm and friendly... then this. The Night dragon's expression changed to something much more stern and determined.<span style="color: #00BFFF">"You would refuse healing to someone who has traveled so far? Talk about selfish."</span><br/><br/>The water elder turned her head just far enough to glare at Kiriei.<span style="color: #008080">"That's quite the mouth you have on you, girl,"</span>the serpentine dragon said in a low growl.<span style="color: #008080">"What speak you of healing?"</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00BFFF">"My friend's wing,"</span>Kiriei said firmly.<span style="color: #00BFFF">"It was injured in a fall on our way to see the wind elder."</span><br/><br/>For a moment, the water elder almost faltered in her dismissive attitude.<span style="color: #008080">"What business had you with the wind elder?"</span>she asked scrutinizingly.<br/><br/>Kiriei didn't falter.<span style="color: #00BFFF">"We wish only to speak with the time elder. I'll ask you if you know where they, or any of the other elders might be, and to heal my friend so we may be on our way."</span><br/><br/>((You can take it from there, Xel !blush ))
