Shaking herself, Venus glanced down, only to see Wintergreen beneath her. "I guess you were right.. That would have been a problem." Now she was looking at the hatching and Nightwing ahead of them. Chuckling nervously, she rolled off of Wintergreen and let the other dragon get up, although she remained on the ground for the moment. "You were right, you are really fast." With a sigh and a smile, the hybrid poked Wintergreen in the side. "You're still a lazy lizard, though!"

Nightfall looked at the two. “A-are you okay?” he asked. He didn’t want anyone getting hurt. He winced when his head spikes were yanked on, which were small but somehow pullable. He put the little baby on his head instead. He offered a talon to the other two dragons on the floor.

"bank u"she said and hugged his head.

Panting heavily, Wintergreen rolled onto her belly, shaking her head with amusement. "Yeah, well, you're-" she paused to catch her breath again, "- a sulky seal then." Slowly sitting up, she smiled at Venus. "You're pretty fast, too." The IceWing surveyed the meeting room, relieved that the only dragons that seemed to notice the crash were the two dragons right in front of them and a...were those more hybrids? The one that gasped, a nearly pure white dragon, looked very much like a SilkWing, but she also sort of had an IceWing build. Her friend was a much more obvious mix; while at first glance he just looked like a SandWing, she could make out the glowy spiral SeaWing patterns on him as well. And rather than black eyes, he had bright blue eyes. Finally having regulated her breathing she nudged Venus. "I guess we should find somewhere to sit. I have no idea what's going on, though."

She blinked as she heard the NightWing's voice, and turned to him. "Oh, yes, we're alright, I think. A bit bruised, but otherwise fine." Wintergreen laughed a little, watching the hatchling mess with his spikes. "I'm just glad we didn't hit either of you." She smiled as he offered his talon, and gratefully took it. "Thanks. I'm Wintergreen by the way, and this is Venus," the IceWing said, motioning to her friend with a slight flap of her wing.

Sandpiper saw Spiri's head snap around, and he followed her gaze to see a messy tumble of white and black smash to the floor just barely into the entrance of the meeting cave. They hadn't appeared to hit anyone besides each other, but it still seemed like a pretty nasty crash. He shivered, imagining the possible damage, but they both recovered after a moment, which made it seem like they were alright. A bit reassured, he still felt his healer's instincts telling him that there might still be internal damage, but it wasn't like he could do anything about it right now. "Yikes," Sandpiper whispered. "D'you think they're alright?" he quietly asked Spiri, still keeping an eye on the pair in case they suddenly collapsed or anything.

Nightfall said, “Y-You’re welcome?” he asked in a stranged out voice, not knowing in what he helped out. He kept Mango up there so she wouldn’t get into any trouble. He said, “I-It’s nice to m-met you, I guess.”

rose waved and said"im her big sis and thats mango the little bug i have to take careof"she said booping her nose.
mango yelped at the boop and made a tiny sneeze.

With a groan and a roll, Venus righted herself and stood up. "Hello," was all she said to Nightfall before Wintergreen suggested they find a place to sit. "Ooh, there's an open seat over there, near those two hybrids. We could meet a few more people too!" She seemed dazed, which was rather obvious, but she also seemed to take plenty of joy from the joking names between her and her friend.

Clay cleared his throat. “And in the Jade Winglet, we have Venus, Quickbeat, Wintergreen, and Rose.” He awaited for the respected students to say hi, or here, or whatever they would say.

Nightfall waited for others to respond.

"Should we check on them?" She hadn't failed to notice the strange dragon spot her. While it looked like the NightWing from her winglet was already offering help, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to ask. Besides, maybe her freezesilk could work on their wounds, soothing them a bit.

---

Nightfall walked back to a bench. He was by himself now, well besides the baby on the top of his head. He got the baby down and put her in his lap. “So. You’re Mango then.” he said.

Crocodile nervously chuckled a bit when the other dragon noticed and mentioned his curling up. He perked up when Clay called his name. "Here!" he said, before looking back at the dragon sitting next to him. "Yeah, that's me! Moss - my sister - says it isn't a fitting name for me but it's the only one I got," he said, only half joking. Crocodiles were fierce yes, but he was sure they had other qualities!

Perking up a little, Venus spoke when she heard Jade Winglet called out. "Venus and Wintergreen are here!" At that, she nudged Wintergreen a little, trying to get the IceWing to speak.

she nodded so hard and fell backwards and got back up.

Rose was trying not to fall asleep on her bench.

(jdjdj pretend this stuff happened along with the events srry got sidetracked)

Firebug smiled at seeing Crocodile relax a little. "I don't know, I think crocodiles are pretty good at being patient, and they're great hunters. Not to mention their scales are super tough," he added, reaching out a claw to lightly tap it against the Mudwing's shoulder. "You seem pretty tough, too!"

----

Wintergreen smiled. The poor NightWing seemed pretty nervous in the crowded room, but he was very sweet. "It's a pleasure to meet you, too." Hearing the RainWing approach she gave her a wave. "Hello! Mango is very cute." Wintergreen swiveled her head back to Venus and frowned a bit at her friend's dazed expression. She certainly hoped the landing hadn't been too rough... Before she could answer, she heard Clay call out the names of her winglet. Of course, there were her and Venus, but now she knew that the female RainWing, sister to little Mango, was Rose. She still couldn't pinpoint Quickbeat in the crowd, but figured they'd get acquainted soon enough. "Yep, we're both here," Wintergreen called out after the nudge from Venus broke her out of her thoughts. She quickly turned a slightly worried look back to her friend and began to steer her towards the hybrids she'd pointed out. "Um, yes, maybe we'd better sit down. They look very nice," the IceWing added, and gave the pair a wave as she walked up. "Hello. Do you mind if we sit with you?"

----

Sandpiper nodded, turning his attention back to Spiri for a moment. "Yeah, that might be a good idea. They might-" he broke off at Clay's announcement, and realized that the two crash-landing dragons were clawmates - Wintergreen and Venus. The hybrid watched closely as the pair talked with Nightfall and the two Rainwings briefly before heading in his and Spiri's direction. "Oh good, they're coming to us." He gave them a welcoming smile as they approached, although he quickly grew worried as he saw the unfocused gaze of Venus. "Not at all," he answered, shuffling closer to Spiri to make room. "I'm Sandpiper." He hesitated briefly, then went ahead with his next question. "Um, this might be a bit odd, but Venus, do you mind if I look you over a bit? Spiri, maybe you could check and see if Wintergreen is alright after that crash."

---

Spiri nodded, slightly nervous now that she was approaching a complete stranger. Slowly, she extended her snout forward to sniff the IceWing dragonet, not surprised to find bruises all over, as well as scratches from uneven sections in the stone where the pair had landed. She lifted her wrist, and cautiously sprayed a small amount of freezesilk on one of said scratches on the IceWing's scales, though admittedly she wasn't too sure how much it would help the already icy dragonet.

---

Venus could only gape as the string shot out from the other dragon's wrist, her mind already building a few thousand questions to ask the hybrid. Of course the dragon would be half SilkWing, and probably half IceWing as well? Forever a scrollworm, Venus had read about SilkWings, but had never really understood the idea of their abilities.

Wintergreen smiled at the Sand-SeaWing, a bit relieved that they'd allowed them to join so easily. She blinked as he went on with the second part of his question, and then nodded slightly. As Spiri came over to inspect her, Wintergreen was surprised to feel the same chill that her own scales gave off coming from what she'd thought was a SilkWing, and she realized that Spiri must also be part IceWing. Wintergreen couldn't help but gasp when the hybrid in front of her began to spin silk, although she stayed as still as she could; the silk was cool, as though she had spun it from a glacier. She saw a tiny layer of frost spread wherever it hit, and then almost sagged with relief. The cold threads were incredibly soothing on the scratch, and she gave Spiri a smile. "Oh wow, that is amazing! It's so soothing."

----

Sandpiper smiled fondly at Spiri, admiring the calm and gentle way she looked the IceWing over. Shaking out of his thoughts, he turned to Venus. "Alright, while she continues, it's your turn." Standing up, he did a quick check over the dragonet's full body. While there were a fair few scratches and bruises that could probably benefit from Spiri's freezesilk, what he was more worried about was the glassy look in Venus's eyes. He took a couple paces back from her. "Venus, I'm going to ask you some silly questions," Sandpiper started in a friendly, upbeat tone. The last thing he wanted was to scare her. "I just want you to answer them as correctly and quickly as possible. Alright?"

---

Venus had been mystified by Spiri's silk, but was snapped back to semi-attention when Sandpiper walked around her. However much she didn't want to admit it, the other hybrid was a very attractive fellow, and he seemed fairly polite as well. Hearing his question and thinking over it for a second, Venus nodded. "Alright." Sitting down, she awaited the first question. She knew she could do this, even though her vision felt the slightest bit blurry.

Spiri let out a nervous grin. "I know. I've used it on my own cuts when I was younger." After her metamorphosis, things had admittedly gotten a lot easier for her...yet she was still weak in that state...all alone in Pantala. She was happy that her experience could at least be helpful to new, more kind dragons. She continued her silk treatment, a bit more confident now that the other dragon had spoken to her. She hoped Sandpiper would be okay with the RainWing

Wintergreen bent slightly to take a closer look at the silk. It was gorgeous, shimmering like an aurora, the same way Spiri's wings and spines did. "That's so smart," she replied, turning her gaze back to the dragonet, who was applying more to different parts of her scales. "How incredible. I never knew hybrid powers could fuse like that," Wintergreen mused, finally starting to feel the sting of her cuts start to fade as Spiri treated each one. "It's like flamesilk, but cold." She was absolutely mesmerized. What would other hybrid powers be if they were part IceWing? Would SeaWings be able to tolerate the icy waters of the north seas? Could SandWings last for weeks on the frozen tundra? The possibilities were endless.

----

Sandpiper smiled, glad to have the hybrid's attention. "Great. Here are the first three questions: Do you feel nauseous," he listed off, making sure to pay attention to how long it took her to answer each question, "What happened to cause the crash you two had, and what color is Clay and how did you know? No looking, either," he added. The first question was a bit more obvious. He'd asked the second question to see if she was having trouble remembering the event that gave her whatever injury she might have, and the final question to test both how fast she could answer and her memory, both short-term, as she had just seen Clay, and long-term, as she knew he was a MudWing and could at the very least infer that he was brown-ish. Finished, Sandpiper gave her time to respond.
