Arkain smiles and looks over towards Wendy impressed with the glow from the gem on her cane. He jumps and crotches into a defensive position growling deeply moving quickly closer next to Eric standing above him in case he needed to protect him when he hears Wendy's cane shoot off. He looks about nervously his claws and teeth bared. He laughs and shakes his head seeing the dust that use to be a bat fall to the ground. "Excellent reflexes, Wendy. Your right, Its best to keep our guard up but lets back down just a little bit. We don't want anyone to get hurt by accident. OK?"<br/><br/>Arkain looks around making sure everyone is OK. He doesn't see Icheo at first then He smiless seeing him towards the back of the group looking a bit scared. He calls to him. "Hey Icheo, how about you join me and Eric up front. I could use your sharp eyes and ears." He moves closer to Crystal. He can tell she is feeling a bit nervous too. He takes her hand in his and giving it a comforting squeeze. "Thats good. I am glad a brave dragoness like you are with us."<br/><br/>Arkain starts to look about the cave occasionally looking back towards the entrance. He lets go Crystal's hand. Something doesn't feel right about the storm. The noise from storm picking up intensity but it doesn't sound right. He moves over towards Wendy and talks softly so the others will not easily hear him and get scared. " Wendy, the storm. Do you hear it? Somethings not right about it. Keep your guard up. Just be sure you don't fry any more bats." He gives you a playful smerk and moves away in case you take a swing at him. He sees a fast moving stream of water flowing down the side of the cave floor. Water. It must be really raining hard outside. Perhaps if they are lucky, the water can show a way out. Thats good. If they are going to be there for a while they will need water.
