And, like a smart person, they collapsed. Who knew that trees could fight back. They definitely weren't brash at all.

Basil was still on the ground, and blindly ran at whatever was attacking. You know, like smart person. @Polly

'Sounds like a good idea. We may not want to stay by the lake for too long.. ya know...' They quipped without elaborating, and landed near the lake. A few moments later, and they were at least semi-covered in mud. Somewhat.

'We should figure out our location, maybe where to go next, they might come after us. We need to hide.'

'.......' They kept flying.

'That's great!' She mumbled, but without much excitement in her voice. They had gotten away, but that wasn't the end of it.

(Sorry i was gone) Basil exhaled sharply, and stood up, catching up to the others quickly. "Sorry about that.. everyone okay?"

@Flower @Green the Fiery Fox @Polly Basil was breathing heavy now, which wasn't the most stealthy thing to do. In the blink of an eye, her talons raked across the rows of bottles, knocking them over and breaking quite a few of them.

Basil froze, and took a moment to get her tail to stop moving. 'Speaking of which, do either of you... remember how you got here? Even if you don't remember much else?'

They stopped to look at the other dragon, and motioned for them to follow, not stopping for more than a second. Where were those guards? @Polly

uwu

'... okay. Let's go.' They sped down the hall without warning. Also, did I mention? They're really, really fast.

'When did you last see your sister?' She stared right into the other dragon's eyes.

'N... no one's here... I didn't see your sister anywhere, I'm sorry.' Their talons shook. 'We.. we should find her and get out of here...'

(Thanks!) This wasn't good. They sprinted to the other dragon, making sure that their wings didn't hit the bars, and came to them with wide, shock filled eyes. 'They're gone.'

She traveled quietly, peering through the cage bars to see if any other unfortunate dragons who has managed to be caught were awake. @Polly (Also, do the guards wear armor of any sort? If so, what kinds?)

'Good idea. Here.' They mumbled through the lock. Soon, the front lock to the ice dragon's cage was unlocked, and Basil has gone to find another dragon and teach them how to unlock it. 'Wait here.'

She had gotten all the locks. 'Sorry. It would be productive to do that, but we have to be careful. The best way to do it would be to create a distraction...' She carefully set her chains down, grabbing one of the open locks with her teeth, and opened the lock to outside. (Polly if you don't want this to happen, just tell me or respond to the reply with a confused emote)

They shook their head, and kept working on the lock.

(Thank you, I think I will) Their smirk got even wider, showing off their dull but shiny teeth. However, they made sure not to move her wings and started working on one of her hind leg locks.

They smirked, and started working on the other wing lock.

They were still fidgeting with the lock, so they nodded in reply instead of answering verbally.

'I'm guessing she looks like you?.. I'm sorry, I haven't.' They took their claw to one of the locks on their wings, fiddling with it and hoping it would budge. @Polly

'Okay, can you.. m-maybe bring a claw to the lock? If one of them is loose?' They seemed very good at focusing on one thing at a time.

'Or... do that.'
