30th Floor, Dragon Landing Field and Chambers, Central Cathedral

"Kyruuuu..." A soft growl rumbled in Amayori's throat as she gently descended onto the wide landing, bending down her body with her wings tucked to her sides. Following closely behind was a bluish-white male dragon whom she had gotten really fond of lately, Fubuki.

Eugeo, sitting atop of Fubuki, gave the tamed dragon a few gentle pats on its nape before getting off his back with a soft landing. He approached Amayori, rubbing her neck and extended a hand towards the blonde-haired knight riding on the back of the female dragon. "Here." He said, offering a helping hand with a small gentle smile.

"Thanks, Eugeo." Alice gratefully accepted it, carefully sliding down Amayori's side while being supported by Eugeo. The two knights shared a soft gaze but were quickly interrupted by the incoming ruckus. They turned towards the approaching black dragon as their smiles fell. Eugeo's expression reverted back to its usual stoical manner while Alice bore an annoyed expression. "There they go again..." She sighed. It's been a little over a month of them being together. They were close but would often bicker when they couldn't agree on the same page.

"Let's just get our dragons their meal, Alice." Eugeo said calmly, guiding the two dragons back towards their stable before Kuroyami landed. Alice followed suit, not wanting to get involved in whatever the two were bickering about.

Kuroyami let out a low growl as it stomped onto the landing out of annoyance. Having to carry an extra weight was tiring enough, but he had to listen to the couple bicker all the way from their trip to Dark Territory while riding on his back. What kept him from wanting to drop them midair, well it was mostly to drop his obnoxious master, was the loyalty that was instilled within them the moment they were assigned to an integrity knight.

"I could have dispatched them in one shot if you hadn't get in my way!" Kirito yelled with Asuna seated right in front of him.

"For the last time, I was only trying to help you! I thought we could finish it faster if we help each other!" Asuna retorted.

"More like causing more trouble for me. Next time, when I told you to stay put, you better be listening!" The black knight glared down at the fuming Asuna as her face turned red at his remark.

"I can fight too, you know!" The chestnut-haired girl yelled back. "I'm just not used to how the enemies fight yet. A few more times and I will be fine on my own!"

"Oh? A few more times for me to save your ass?!" Kirito argued. Before Asuna could retort, Kuroyami, roared as if to silence them.

"You know what? I don't want to argue with you...It's pointless for me to say anymore. Even Kuroyami is getting annoyed by this petty argument." Asuna was about to hop down from Kuroyami's back when Kirito harshly grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Don't you dare walk away from me, woman. And shut the hell up, Kuroyami! This doesn't concern you!" Kuroyami growled and used his tail to swat Kirito off his back when the knight was rude towards him. "What the hell is your problem?!"
