Two pairs of eyes, green and gold, stared wide-eyed at Zeniba.
"Half?" Retsu asked, his brows deepening into a light frown.
"She is part Noble and part Reptillian, as you call it," she answered, fixing her large brown gaze on the red dragon.
Retsu's frown deepened and he put down the knitting needles. If Ryumiko was only half, what would happen now? Would she be accepted into the Dragon Clan? What would happen to her Noble status, and more importantly, were there still anti-Noble supporters amongst the Dragon Leaders? He stared blankly into the burning fire, gold meeting flames as he thought long and hard about various issues that could arise form this new information. He was so consumed by his thoughts that he hardly registered Yukaoi and Ryumiko entering the cottage.
Yukaoi noticed the darkened emotion lingering in her brother's gaze and gestured for the girl to take a seat a little aways from Retsu. She stood in front of him to get his attention. When his gold orbs met her silver, she realised something was wrong. She growled to him so softly it was inaudible to human ears, 'What happened in our absence?'
Snapping out of his thoughts, his eyes caught sight of Ryumiko watching them curiously. He grumbled back in the language of the dragons, 'She is not human.'
'I know that.'
'She's not wholly Noble either... half-breed...' he seethed. He despised the term half-breed, but half-dragons were looked upon with contempt in the Dragon Clan. Half-dragons, or half-breeds they were referred to as, never became part of the Clan.
Yukaoi's eyes widened, 'Half Noble and half human?'
He shook his head, 'No. Half Noble, half Reptillian.'
Her eyes went wider. Seeing as there had been no sign of Nobles for centuries, there had been no half-breeds between the two species, and thus they did not know how to treat such a dragon spirit. They had no idea how the Dragon Leaders would react to this news.
Yuakoi rubbed her forehead in frustration and growled a low profanity.
'Do we take her to the Clan then or not?' Retsu asked.
Yukaoi glanced behind her, and met Ryumiko's gaze. She took a shaky breath, 'We should wait and see just how strong our new friend really is.'
'That is a wise decision,' came Haku's low rumble from across the room.
Okay people! I've hit a brickwall in the road my creative compass has led me to. So I'm going to continue these short chapters until I get an imaginary wrecking ball to destroy this mental blockage.
Anyways, this little snippet was kickstarted with Mysticbreeze327's help, many thanks for the idea.
