When the five of them landed on the flight landing on Jade Mountain Academy, Virgo could've sworn Mink was staggered. It wasn't very staggering for Virgo, but she preferred the cool of the Ice Kingdom more.

Virgo looked at Vulpes, who had been poking on her shoulder.

Mink looks like a bullfrog opening her mouth like that, Vulpes mouthed. She silently laughed and Virgo giggled. I bet she's never seen a mountain in her life, ever. Vulpes added.

Virgo nodded in agreement. It wasn't surprising, in all honesty. Virgo sighed angrily. "Mink, stop gaping at it. We need to go in, not stand here like a bunch of idiot desert- rain- uh, dragons."

Mink raised an eyebrow.

Virgo had been accustomed to hearing 'idiot desert dwellers' and 'idiot RainWings' from Iceberg though RainWings had seriously nothing bad about them.

Vulpes' gaze followed Virgo as Virgo walked into the looming mountain structure. Virgo turned to her.

There's nothing to be afraid about, Vulpes mouthed. Virgo sent a smile and motioned for her to follow her.

Mink sniffed indignantly. "I don't understand a word you're saying! I can't even hear you! And, come on, Firn, let's go."

Mink pulled Firn in, but Firn was walking slowly with Mink while looking at the sky with a moony expression.

Virgo hurried in, Vulpes behind her.

But it was too late.

The SandWing with brown scales landed.

Oribi, Virgo thought. He actually leans a bit more into the washed out bronze section.

Vulpes was staring at him too.

Firn was looking at him with beams of love emitting from her eyes.

Mink was downright glaring at him.

"Well would you look at that! the entire female quartet that I just managed to annoy today!" Oribi drawled. "Didn't know you'd come so early,"

"No! You didn't annoy them- I mean, me," Firn corrected at the hatred coming out from Mink's stare.

Virgo shrugged.

Vulpes look at her. He looks OK for a SandWing, but Ebony looks better, she mouthed.

Virgo asked, Who's Ebony?

A male NightWing, Vulpes replied.

I don't know why this guy is here, Virgo mouthed.

Vulpes shrugged and turned to him.

Hi, she mouthed. I'm Vulpes.

"Vul-pas?" Oribi asked, still like he just woke up.

"Vulpes." Virgo corrected.

"Vulpes," Oribi tasted the word. "Oh, hey Firn," he looked at Firn with a hint of disdain and toleration.

"Hi, Oribi!" Firn cried.

Virgo felt like Firn would've said 'Firibi' if Oribi knew what it meant.

Mink snuck a look at Oribi. "Firn. Let's. Go."

"She's all yours," Oribi said in his drawling voice.

I want to strangle him, Vulpes mouthed.

Virgo chuckled. To be honest, WHY IS HE HERE? Virgo mouthed back.

Oribi glared at them, annoyed. "I am here, because Queen Thorn decided to put me here."

Vulpes was laughing.
