Kathy started to ask what Castor was doing, but calmed down after she realized he was just carrying her to the ship. She covers her mouth, hiding most of the blush.
The other pirates follow suit, taking pains to never have their backs turned to Kage & Lilith. They likewise made sure to sit on the other side of of the ship from the duo.
Soon afterwards, the group as set back off for the mainland. Dalton looked at the pirates. "Well. This wasn't how I expected this to go. First things first, tell me everything you know about the dragon. I'm not hunting it today, but we can't leave that thing so close to a town."
Scyto began. "It started when the beast stabbed it's way through the ship's hull, got us sinking. We didn't know what was going on until the lifeboats got stuck in sudden iceflow. Every half minute or so the beast's tail would lash out, impale a member of the crew like a piece of meat, and pull them into the waves. Sometimes it'd pull a lifeboat into the water instead, or shake an ice block to unbalance a someone hoping to get a blow in. It's devilishly smart, that beast. Killed the water magic users first."
"Hrm.." Dalton began asking extremely specific questions about the beast's claw size, way of moving its eyes, any nesting behavior, etc. Scyto hadn't seen much of the dragon - why he was still alive, he felt - but what he had seen did not paint a pretty picture. The island was riddled with underground passageways and smaller lakes, and most of them were now part of one big drasil nest. It was practically dragon paradise.
Kage hadn't seen anything from his shaded eye as of yet. Perhaps the dragon had been more delayed than the pirates thought.
While Dalton was preoccupied with learning anything and everything about the dragon, the other group members may have recalled that their mission was to obtain proof that the pirates had landed on the island.
