Leilan
a dragon who couldn't be hurt on the outside
could have so many ragged holes inside

Almost immediately following his remark, which for a good ear would have been a question, looking for an explanation for something he doesn’t quite follow - was there something he’d missed? - Lepis suddenly sneers at him, and his ears fall to his skull, though his tone is still cheeky when he answers. ”I never claimed to be a diplomat, Lepis.” What’s your excuse? he thinks, but doesn’t follow up. Perhaps she catches the thought from his tone, perhaps she doesn’t. At the very least it should mean to her that he can be safely ignored, and that he should not be expected to know every little bit about these negotiations.
She’s looking at him strangely however, and he doesn’t particularly like it. Had he known what she was thinking about, the fear induction, he might have laughed about that, too. Out of the fight-or-flight-or-freeze reactions the adrenalin kick of such a fear might give, Leilan is the type to fight before thinking. Might have taken a bite to that pretty little wing of hers, or defied the distance with a good, burning freeze. See how she’d like that. He wouldn’t have even thought of it - she’s lucky not to have tried. But he wasn’t actually trying to sabotage any of this meeting though she seems to take it that way; if anything, he’d wanted Wolfbane to rethink what he was offering and see if there was more to get for the brotherhood out of it. And so if he even thought about shutting her up in a different way than with words, he didn’t show it. Hell, he had better things to do than be bothered by her,
But apparently Lepis was extremely sensitive. Gods and fairies, if she wasn’t gonna talk to him, why would she let his words influence her negotiations at all? Seemed unnecessary to him to reprimand him twice and that in front of his own king.
Seems Brennen however, also didn’t like him opening his mouth. Good grief, what was it with these people today. Seemed like they were almost desperate to make this deal, all of them. It’s not like he’d joked about actually storming into Sylva to interrogate the old forest dwellers himself, had he? Jeez. But the disproving look had been enough for him to finally shut up - even though again, he felt like it wasn’t strictly needed to be toned down twice, and he huffs and looks at the waves, wondering what he’s still doing here.
Then a small display of magic settles it; he can only understand what Brenne and Wolfbane are saying if he focuses real hard, though honestly, the striped man seems the most reasonable one to him - not lashing out in anger, not disapprovingly staring at him after having been reeprimanded twice already, and actually noting he had not expected Lepis to show up. Hah, wasn’t that funny. She seemed to have a knack of disturbing a good negotiation almost as much as he. Impressive.
It’s cue to leave, though. Dipping his head a little too excessively at each of them, since they don’t seem to hear him any more, he turns to leave. If Brennen doesn’t need him around so clearly, then he’s not staying and ‘complicate’ this further.

Out of here, unless someone feels the need to stop him leaving!
Two things I know I can make: pretty kids, and people mad.
