Jason ducked his head in a polite thank you to Twiggs,trying to be polite as he saw the grubs. He was unsure,but he'd eaten just as odd in the dragon realm so he still acted like he wasn't bothered,tho he only slightly was.

After everyone was done eating, Twiggs made Jason a bed of squirrel hides and chipmunk fur.

Jason gave a thanking smile. "Thank you sir." He said,using his manners best he could,sure he could be a dork and a jock,but he knew manners.

Twiggs nodded. Ash stayed up late into the night, talking to Twiggs.

Jason silently sat,his freckle scales white and ice blue. He wasn't listening to them but he was staying up by habit because this point in the dragon realm would have been his night of watch.

Later that night, Ash was sprawled out on the couch across from Jason, one arm flung over his eyes, his torso wrapped in a squirrel blanket. But, something was off...The fireflies that had earlier been bright were now sleeping, so everything was dark, everything except a flickering orange glow outside the window. Maybe Twiggs had a porch light on or something.

Jason was still on the edge of the make shift bed and noticed the light and his freckle scales shifted a curious purple with a tired dark blue. He couldn't sleep tho,so he stood and silently glided over to check it out.

The glow was actually candlelight, and above it, a face was peering into the room from outside. Those blue eyes turned to Jason, an unfamiliar face peering at him

Jason felt his chest freeze not only with shock but also some of his dragon ice as he let out a soft breath,letting scales come over himself enough to fold him into a camouflage that was transparent. His breathing stopped and he fluttered back a bit.

Ash shifted under his mound of furs, not quite waking. The being backed away from the window.
