Travis was skeptical about this but did as he was told and headed outside. Doctor Sebastian started working on the Soup when he heard Scarlet talking; but now that she was going Outside, he wanted to follow but couldn't leave the food behind because she still needed to eat when she came back in.
When they got Outside the Male just Exited the Tree Line and it turned out to be the Four Banded Horse Male from last night. Travis Held Scarlet close to him, and Ryder walked in front to stand between them and Demanded to know why he was there.
Scarlet said, "Why don't you just Shut up and move aside." Shocking both the Horse and Dragon as Ryder Moved to the side his Jaw was Clenched so hard that if he added more pressure his teeth would probably break. The Horse slid a Cocky grin on his face that disappeared the instant that he seen Scarlet. It was like all his Confidence was sucked out of him when he Faced the 'Great Spirit' Herself.
He walked over and when Travis felt that he was close Enough he told him to stop. He didn't stop however and kept walking. Scarlet was a little upset and said "Kitty said that was far enough. Why are you still advancing?"
This shocked everyone, even Travis. He didn't have the right to Speak for her because he is Not her Mated Male yet. He is just someone that Follows her and trying to Become her Male. He didn't expect her to give him control over situations like this like a High-Level Mate should.
He knew that she was giving him a chance but calling shots like this when she just got onto Ryder for speaking for her, means that he has a different level of status. Even for a full Mated couple since the Female always called the shots the Males didn't lesson to any except them. The Males would fight amongst themselves for Status with the other Males, but things were different when it came to telling others what to do on her behalf. Since Females don't always let Males speak for her like this.
When everyone recovered after a few Moments of shock Dropped to his Knees and apologized and held out the basket that he had towards them. Alex walked up to him and Asked what it was as he took it from him and searched through it with Kid Gloves because he didn't want to mess up anything that His Female may have wanted. When he seen that there wasn't anything that could harm her, he walked the basket over and let her look at the contents.
Nick walked up and asked "So what brings you here? Is it just a drop off or something More?"
His unspoken words were all over his face he wanted to know if he was here for His Female and wanted to make her his Mate.
Henry didn't know how to answer when He herd Travis say, "Answer his Questions." The Male Lowered his head and said, "My Name is Henry, and I am a Member of the 'Blue Water Tribe'. We came here last night because we heard that the 'Great Spirit' was sick and wanted to lend our assistance. We Brought Guards, Food, and Treasure for you. When We were sent away Last Night with this Five Banded Dragon only taking the Treasure, I felt that you still needed the Medicine that we brought and decided to bring it here and offer my Assistance again. As a Guard or anything else you may need. I know the area and am willing to Be with you for however long you need me to. When you are ready, I will Leave immediately, and I will never say anything to anyone."
Scarlet seen a plant that caught her attention and held it up to ask what it was. A light Sparkled in Henry's eyes as he answered Proudly "That is a Plant that Helps to Clean the Air when there is Sickness. I heard that the Female from earlier was given Medicine just in case she got it, and this plant will help clean the air so that it won't Spread."
After hearing this Scarlet took a deep breath and Called out "Hey, Web Head could you come here? I…" Before she finished speaking, he was Front and Center and asking what was Hurting and what to do to help.
Scarlet just giggled and asked about the Plant. That was when his focus Shifted to the plant in her hands, and his Eyes Lit up. Doctor Sebastian said Basically the same Information that Henry did and was supper excited about the plant. He said "Where did you get this, I have been looking for this all over the place.
Alex chose this time to suddenly Disappear back into the cave and a second later Doctor Sebastian's face turned Pail and he also Ran Back in. Travis just laughed and informed Scarlet what was happening, "He left the Food. I think it's still fine. I didn't Smell anything bad just Cooked a Little Longer on One side without stirring."
Scarlet Giggled and said, "That's fine you all act like I will Eat you alive if you Mess up my food. If anything goes slightly wrong, I learn to adapt and overcome. Some things can be fixed or delt with you know."
Henry tried to take this time to say something and Ryder Cut him off by saying "Who gave you Permission to Speak to her?" And Henry shut his mouth and Shrank into himself.
Scarlet got Upset with him and said "Who are you to Speak for me?! I don't know you and just woke up to you being here."
Ryder turned to her with his face full of shock. He didn't understand why she would talk to him like that. "When she woke up earlier, I made sure that she seen my Reproductive Organs, I'm a Five Banded Male, and a Dragon. Why wouldn't she show any interest in me?" With this running through his head, he missed when he was addressed again by Scarlet.
Nick was the One that pulled him out of his head and back to reality when he got in his face and said, "Are you going to answer her or just keep Standing there like a Brainless Male?"
Shaking himself back to the present and trying to control his temper in front of the 'Great Spirit' he said "I'm trying to teach this Intruder some Respect. I'm Sorry if I over Stepped."
Scarlet said "You are not even supposed to be here. So, what Rights do you hold that you can talk to anyone that I am in a Meeting with? You also Excepted Treasure on My Behalf, but also had no rights to do that either. Because again I don't know you! You just appointed yourself my Guard and think that I Need to Go with it. Why? Because of what You are and Your Power Level." Taking a calming breath, she continued "If you can't answer a simple question what use are you to me."
Ryder tried to figure out the question she was talking about when Nick spoke up saying "She asked you a question and you weren't even paying attention to her? What would have happened if it was something important like an invasion or if she was in pain?"
With talking so much Scarlet had to take a Minute to catch her breath. When she spoke again, she had more Power behind her words that she Truly Felt she had and continued "You are not going to stay Here and We are Leaving so you won't be able to Follow Us. You can tell Your Big Boss that He won't be getting anything from Me."
When she was done, she took her hand out of the Blanket and Touched the Ground. With her hand laid flat, she picked up a small handful of dirt and brought it to her mouth. Scarlet said something to it in a Language no One understood she let the Sand fall Slowly out of her hand until it made a little Dirt Mound.
Ryder was laughing at Scarlet and was about to say something Snarky when the Ground Suddenly came up behind him like a Wave and then Crashed Down on him Swallowing him Whole. When the Ground Finally settled down Ryder was nowhere to be Seen.
