Shadowflare goes to a room, gets a pile of blue-grey pelt blankets, some pillows as well, then heads to a door with mythical carvings. She goes in for a while, as Phantomtide, Pine and Opal. explore the place a little bit more.
"So, what do you think of this place so far? Pretty impressive cave, huh?"
"Quite so, but I want to know how nobody has found it by accident. I think someone could've, even if the chances are slim. That, or nobody has came anywhere near Jade Mountain. Not enough reason, with the war and all."
"Then you just answered your own question, love. The war is hard on all of us, even those not on any side of it."
"And yet, we are still caught up in it. Alliances or not, the war needs to be stopped, for the sake of all the tribes." They looked around a little bit more, then headed back to the others.
Soon after, Shadowflare returns to their room and walked into their conversation, with Pine mid-sentence.
"So, considering what's recently-"
"Alright, anyone wanna help cook?"
"Don't look at me. Maybe next time?"
"Me, Pine, and Metalhide can help." Phantomtide spoke up. "Come on, you two. Midnight, can you look after Opal?"
He nodded, then continued studying a scroll with the Skywing dragonet.
"That's good enough! To the kitchen!" The three headed off to there with her.
After they finished, several plates with roasted meat, some various drinks, and chopped fruit, including the Rainbursts. Phantomtide had found a bucket of apples for himself to eat, as he had a tooth for the sweet/sour fruit. They all pitched in to bring in the food to the dining room, where Midnight and Opal were already seated and waiting. The others gather around the table, while Shadowflare leaves for about ten minutes, leaving the others to talk.
When she came back, it was with another Nightwing which everyone guessed was Shadowflare's cousin, Tempo. All eyes went to the new Nightwing, as she was oddly beautiful.
"Tempo, these are the guests I told you about. From left to right, Metalhide, Opal, Midnight, Phantomtide, and Pine. You five, this is Tempo, my cousin."
"Pleasure to meet you." The five greeted her in complete unison. Midnight removes his helmet in order to eat, revealing the trailing scar right under his right eye to everyone there.
"Oh my! That looks very painful!"
"Never mind. The food's ready, we're all here. Shall we get to eating?" Shadowflare and Tempo sit down across from the five, and they all dig into the food, all eager to fill their growling stomachs.
