Searinox looked away for a moment, then perched himself on a nearby cliff, but did not fold his wings and stayed alert, watching the crimson aura radiate from her body. She most certainly was prepared for battle, whatever that meant.
"War, you ask? I have merely come to search for my own kind. News of the war and the War Dragons' slaughter made it even more urgent." He looked away at the others around her, examining each one's features. He smiled for a moment, then looked back at Kaarnishia. "I do not seek battle..." He paused for a moment, growling as his mind tried to make the right decision. "What a way to encounter my bretheren... ready for battle as always... just like my father.", he said, a human's heart still beating in him.
Up to this day he had never been able to understand the default hostillity of his kind. He had never had a warrior's spiritual discipline, let alone the impulse to test newcomers that way. The very reason why he settled with humans for a while. And now he had his own doubts about re-joining them. But he also knew that life with humans was difficult, acceptance being very hard.
He lowered his head, looking at his reflection in the water. "So this is who I am... a Dragon... ... ... our armoured scales, claws, fire breath... are we really born to fight?" He closed his eyes for a moment, then looked back at the silver Dragoness.
He had lived with that question all his life, but life in turn had taught him that there are times when all questions are to be put aside, and action is to be taken. More than once had his uncertainty caused him trouble, with both humansand other Dragons. And he knew that as on previous occasions, he would not find the answer now. Now was the time for a choice.
But which one?
"I came looking for my kind... if I must fight to help them..." He widened the pair of claws on his wings in an attacking stance as the urge to defend grew within him, stretching out his wings as far as they could go. "...then fight I shall." ,he said with a flat voice bearing his teeth, staring back into her eyes, determination radiating from them.
A few crackle sounds came from his bones as his muscles tightened and his body became tensed.
"My choice has been made... may Draco's shining star guide me, for I know not what I have chosen. I only hope I've chosen well.", he said to himself, trying to drive away his uncertainty.
