I am up to harmless no good

"Smaug was a dragon-lord, one of the most powerful. His felling was a most tragic event. For your people, perhaps not, but he was a king in his own right." He snorted, watching Dawn and Bain exchange glances over the song.

Bain grew slightly worried when Eryx asked to hear the song in the common tongue but he didn't show it on his face. Dawn however had a wicked smile on his face as if he was actually considering singing it to him.

Dawn looked at Bain who gave him a quick nod to tell him to start singing. Dawn sung in his native Dalian. It was true what the prince had said. The Orc man had a lovely voice it was Warm and welcoming and he hit all the notes correctly never falling flat.

Eryx said nothing, turning his back to the pair. They would be fine. Had food, warmth, shelter, company - they had more here than they did back in Dale.

Dawn and Bain started eating once their goat was cooked. Dawn forced Bain to eat more than what he wanted seeing as he didn't eat properly for a few days. Dawn wiped the grease off his fingers and checked Bain's face. "You should have left the bandages on longer." "Yeah well I was walking around looking like a southern corpse. Looking like a corpse isn't attractive." Dawn rolled his eyes.

Bain winced slighly at the sight of the white flame. He wasn't fond of fire and he was even less fond of fire that came from a lizard. Bain cracked his fingers as he waited for Dawn to return. 

Eryx snorted, licking at his shoulder. He had knocked some scales loose, exposing the softer snake like skin below. His scales would grow back in time, but until then, the open wound was obvious. And ugly.

Bain glanced over to the wyrm. He took note of the exposed softer skin. He'd use that to his advantage if the wyrm decided to try anything.  "Well Eryx I don't think you've noticed, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't fit a whole goat in my mouth." He rolled his eyes and finished his job. 

Eryx listened to their idle chatter, eyes lidded against the onslaught of snow. Perhaps, he thought, if he were lower to the ground the weather would not be so horrible. But he was not shift now; not in the presence of these two. He cared not the reason, he was much more clever than to be vulnerable.

"Dawn go get some fire wood." Bain ordered. Dawn let out a surprised grunt. Leave Bain here? Alone? With the Lizard? He shook his head.  Bain gave Dawn a sharp look telling him to get lost. Dawn sighed and complied. "Fine but if that ugly bastard eats you Bard will skin me alive." Dawn said in Dalia before he left.

But he was not shift now; not in the presence of these two. He cared not the reason, he was much more clever than to be vulnerable.

Dawn looked upwards. "Good enough. Tired?" He asked the wyrm. The two men had not eaten but they would have been able to keep going for another couple of miles.

Dawn and Bain for the most part didn’t look very impressed with Eryx. He’d probably scared off all the small animals for miles and the human and Orc man were hungry. Dawn and Bain however got their own back by deciding to head to the Plains the hard way. Through the snow covered lands.They knew the land better than Eryx and they knew where to walk and where not to walk. Here they were as graceful as elves.

Dawn rolled his eyes. He and Bain had grown up in these lands and knew how to nag invade them. "I'll lead." Bain said. "Dawn and I used to patrol here." Bain said trying to make conversation. The awkward scilence was killing him. He wished some other men had come with them but then Eryx would have become supissicous.

"my nose isn’t as strong as yours." Dawn countered as he over turned a rock and picked up a hunting knife and slipped it in to his belt. Bain expertly climbed up a tree and retrieved another one from it’s hiding place.

"Well beggars can’t be choosers." Bain said with a shrug. He walked carefully his tread light. He pulled an arrow from his quiver. He crept closer and closer following the bears tracks. But then stopped suddenly these tracks weren’t bear tracks he knew exactly what they were. He turned around with a look of alarm on his face.

Eryx was not the best traveling companion. He was so dull it made Bain Wish Notli was around to try and get on a horse the wrong way around.  He did some bird calls and got a few responses back from the birds high in the trees. Dawn laughed hearing the response and whistled back to them.

"Do you think me daft, or simply ignorant?" He snapped, nothing that the prince had weapons hidden. Hmm. He would have to do another sweep of his city when he returned.

"Fine." Bain said. "But don't complain to me when you get hungry. We have a long march ahead of us." From another hollow Bain pulled out a small bottle and read the label. He smiled softly. He had plenty of things hidden. in the forest in places where people wouldn't think to look.
