The excitement and hope in her voice was more than enough. Feeling his willpower crumbling, he finally nodded his head, his curls bouncing against his shoulder. "If my Lady asks it, then her request shall be granted."
He gave her a curt nod, and began his walk, without any warning. "But should we find ourselves in an unhappy situation, you are to place yourself above all things and go for safety. Is that agreed?"
A knight was far less valuable than royalty, and he was more than willing to lay his and Paco's lives on the line for this beautiful, yet adventurous maiden. It impressed him that she was so eager to join in his adventures, and he was happy to have along another member of the typical entourage of two.
Paco looked at his partner quizzically, but simply shrugged his shoulders. He had no problem at all, accepting a new member to their group for the time being. Worry about her... yes, he would do that, just as he knew Quetzal would be. But Paco knew Quetz was smart... he knew what he was doing!
"M'lady." he bowed, mimicking Quetzal's motions from earlier as he allowed her to walk before him. Hopefully she would find amusement with their travels, instead of a simple boring trot. Either way, Paco was having fun, and that's what counted in the end for him!

Ah, so she was foreign, like he and Paco were!
"What a delightful coincidence, m'Lady." he smiled, nodding his head in her general direction. He, of course, had genuine concern over the fact she confessed to be homeless in a strange land, but he would take her under his proverbial wing, and would assist her as best he could. He was determined, and as a knight, devoted to protecting those who needed protection. "Though I must say, that had to have been such a frightening experience! You are far more braver than I took you for, if I might say."
Paco listened with wide eyes as she told her tale of coming to this land they now walked upon. Sea creatures? Paco had never been around the ocean himself... he wondered what powerful creature could exist in the murky waters that was strong enough to lift an adult horse!

The stallion's cheeks flushed at the compliment, and he shook his head, turning back around to continue their journey. He had never been complimented like that before, and wasn't sure how exactly to take the words. They made him feel proud, but being prideful was a sin, and knights were to never sin! Perhaps there was a good kind of pride he wasn't aware of?
Either way, he simply smiled and continued trotting, unsure of how he was supposed to respond.
Paco could sense his companion's uneasiness, and couldn't help but grin. Never before had the duo encountered someone so... thankful, and sweet, so it was a big change for them. Typically, the person they helped or saved tend to yell at Quetz for some reason or another, and the colorful stallion just ignored the words like water off a duck's bath. But not these words... they were coming from an exotic mare, and Paco knew Quetzal had never really dealt with the female kind of his species until now. Too busy fighting dragons and other dangerous fiends, of course!
"It is alright, Lady Eydis," Paco said, nodding, "I'm not very brave, so you don't have to be either. That's Quetzal's job!"

"Indeed, Paco," said Eydis in agreement. "And Quetzal does his job wonderfully, with all the qualities of a hero. He has the braveness, the selflessness, the determination, the charm, the looks, the..."
Her voice trailed off quickly at the sound of a noise, sounded like something brushing against a bush. She turned her head to the direction, but nothing was there. Though she could have sword than for a moment, just one instant, she saw something quickly disappear.
She turned sharply back to Quetzal and Paco.
"I thought I heard something," she apologized.

"Ah, but my Lady," Quetzal interjected, feelings his cheeks redden even further than they already were, "A Knight, or a hero, as you call me, would have no reason, no motivation to fight to begin with, if not for such a worthy cause as yourself."
He was in the midst of pausing to give another courteous bow (for what else did one do after receiving such a compliment?!), when his head paused as she seemed distracted by something.
Eyes widened, and his imagination flared up, as he stared into the bushes that had caught her gaze.
Paco greatly enjoyed seeing Quetzal being put on the spot, like he was. It was a refreshing change of events, and having a third member to the party happily suited him, for it gave him someone else to talk to when Quetzal was raving about his Quest.
Short ears twitched, straining to hear the noise Lady Eydis said to have heard. Was there something lurking in the bushes? If so, Paco entrusted the finding out to his partner... he'd rather stand on the sidelines until needed!

"Did you hear it too?" asked Eydis, now feeling uncertain about the noise that she had heard. Maybe she did she see something there afterall. Maybe something was nearby. Maybe ---
The Kalona smirked darkly as she swept down into the treetops once more. She had been following a bizarre trio for a while, hiding quietly unseen until recently. They were such weak, strange creatures, she felt sorry for their existance. Such pathetic fools, not knowing the true meaning of power. Everything in their world was rainbows and kittens. Everything in Gwee's world was hollow and dead.
That had to change, they needed a snap back to reality. The fantasy they lived in had gone on far too long. No happy endings for them just yet. They still have a dragon to defeat.
The Kalona flew down through the treetops, cracking the weak branches that blocked her way. She landed down on the ground before them, covered in leaves through her trip through the tree. She shook her body off in a violent shudder, the leaves flew off her body and down to the ground. Gwee gave the most intimidating grunting sound she could make, coughing out a tiny flame puff to her side.

Quetzal had been staring so intently on the bushes beside them, he almost didn't see the green figure up until the point she was standing directly in front of them.
He felt him catch his breath, and startled eyes gazed over the giant winged being, the smoke definitely not going unnoticed by the practically defenseless stallion.
Fear was not an option, though his body begged to differ. He could feel his legs weakening, but his resolve stood strong and he stepped in front of Eydis's pathway. He had dealt with dragons before. None that seemed as... realistic as this one, but he would overcome them. In his Lady's honor, he'd fight to the death!
"Paco," he whispered, refusing to take his eyes off the being in front of them, "Take the Lady Eydis and flee! She mustn't be harmed!"
Paco nearly wet himself in fear as the great dragon swooped down from the sky and stood before them. He had seen Quetzal speak of dragons, but never saw anything like this before. Beady eyes blinked rapidly, as if willing himself for all of this to be a dream. He never thought Quetzal as a liar, but the other 'dragons' he fought didn't seem quite so scary, like this one.
Nodding (and quite glad for a reason to escape himself!), Paco nudged the Lady Eydis's leg and motioned for them to leave. Quetzal would have to handle this on his own, if the fierce, angry looking dragon concentrated on the colorful stallion instead of the other two members of the group.
