Wings of Fire Reunion

Chapter 3

"Wow! He looks a lot less nervous!" Moon happily waved a wing at Turtle. "Have you been taking care of my Kinkajou?"

"Yeah... I mean.. I think so? Am I?" He tilted his head at Kinkajou, shyly smiling.

"He does, you don't have to worry" Kinkajou laughed.

"Oof, where am I?" Another voice said but behind the hut.

Moon walked over, her talons making a ticking noises.

"Is that you?....." She squeezed her eyes "Umber?"

"Gah! Uh, yah!" Umber flipped over to see her face who was tangled around his own tail.

"Awww! You're looking like your bother!" Moon stepped closer to him.

"Yeah, I get that a lot" he laughed.

"So, are you with someone yet?" Moon asked as they both walked back to the front of the hut.

She nodded at him as he talked but her mind stopped as she saw the smiling, handsome
SandWing who was talking to Kinkajou.

"Oh look who's here" Kinkajou nodded back at her and hugging her with one wing.

Moon felt like her younger self, unsure and nervous, she couldn't even look at him in the eyes.

Moon cleared her throat, then smiled at him.

"So, how long has it been?" She said, shaking her nervousness off.

He waved his head around as his hair moved along with him, "About four and a half years, almost Five"

Peril came driving down and rubbed Turtle'a head roughly, everyone faced them, including Moon, who were all laughing. Everyone, except Qibli who took advantage and scanned Moon.

Qibli POV:

She was absolutely gorgeous.
She curled her talons in, swirled her long tail around her perfectly.
Five years ago, she had her wings dropping, but now she had her wings up high, showing off her star patterned self.
She was in a polite, mannered position, almost like Winter did, while everyone else sat unmannerly.
Her teardrop grew longer as she did.
She titled her head up, he loved that, it was like she was saying you can look at my beauty without knowing she was.
Oh how he wanted to hug her, but if he did he knew he wouldn't let go of her.
He also noticed Her body was graceful, almost like a RainWing.

"Qibli?"

"Yes?" He quickly said as he shot his head up, turning to her eyes, slightly blushing from embarrassment due to thinking of her curves.

"How has work with Queen Thorn been?" Moon asked.

He sighed in relief, thankful to try to focus on something else, since his mind was buzzing about her.
"I been guarding her, helping with duties, you know the usual"

"Tell me more" She replied, walking gracefully around him, scanning.

No ones POV:

"Well, new SandWings have been setting in so we needed to make more space, more homes"
Qibli spoke but not losing eye contact as she swirled around him.

"That explains why you have gotten burly" Moon titled curiously to him.

Burly? Burly.... Burly? OH burly.. Qibli mind zoned out. Does she think I'm attractive? Am I? How many dragons have asked you out? How many...? I never payed attention since I was so busy working for Thorn.

"Am I going to be walked around too?" A deep voice said behind Moon, who jumped a little as she saw flashes of glaucous scales, knowing damn well who it was.
