There probably would've been some very angry snarls from Betsy if she'd had time to really focus on just how close Avalon had gotten to her broken wing. She hissed and jerked back, keening at the tension in the injured wing, tossing her head, saying a good many things in Dragonese to the Terror as she could think of. Things best not translated for human ears.
But then there was another distraction... another dragon, landing squarely on her back, causing the nightmare to buckle and crash to one side, landing hard on her injured wing. THe only thing that came out of her was a sound somewhere between a squeal and a roar as she thrashed her head and whipped her tail around, not "saying" anything at all coherent as she tried to ignore the stabbing pain in that wing, hissing and spitting like an angry cat, snapping at poor Pirateperch despite her apologies. Not that she was generally a very mean dragon.
She was just hurting, is all.

Avalon picked up Dogg and stuffed him into her bag. While Betsy was distracted she climbled up to her and began to straighten out the broken wing trying to set it with broken branches and wraping it with bandages from from her bag. Avalon looked at Betsy hoping that she wouldn't be killed. She turned to Pirateperch then to Mordor and looked at the wriggling dragon in her bag that was devouring all her fish, "Please calm down big dragon, please calm down." She murmered hoping her action would end well.
"Barley 7 hours away from home and I meet four dragons in one shot. Where are all the people? I could really use some right now." She said wishing someone less ignorant on dragon interactions than she was would come by and help her.

Not very far away, a small snort sounded. A young Night Fury, GreenStar, was the source of this noise. As he shuffled around, he heard the noise, and stiffened. Where was it coming from? Nervously, he crawled towards the noises. He soon saw what all the fuss was about, and freaked out. In his haste to escape, he stepped on a branch, snapping it in half with a loud crack. He froze, eyes wide, to scared to move.

Mordar quietly watched the proceedings, even more so, considering that so many more had shown up in the same spot. He was watching the dragon that appeared to be eating all the fish.
He then looked at the one which had just landed on top of the Nightmare, and wondered what could have caused this dragon to fall and land at such a speed.
He made a noise that, hopefully could be understood as nothing except "Fish, please!" Him not being a picky eater, it seemed to be a good idea, and he awaited a response.

Dogg squealed as he wa stuffed into the woman's bag, but not with pain or anger, but surprise. He flipped around in, choosing to get comfy before poking his head out to watch the other dragons and Avalon. He gave out a grunting laugh and bobbed his head. Those others, so strange! Why was that dragon flying upside-down? Why was the nightfury squealing and grunting loudly, and most of all, why was the nightmare squawking? He laughed again looking at the woman as if say, 'This is hilarious! Let's watch!' Glancing back, he roared playfully at them and waved his tail.
"Gsh, gsh, gsh!!!" He wiggled. "Gshhhhhh!!!"
He never was good with emotion telling.

For the moment, the furious and hurting monstrous nightmare didn't notice her wing had been bound. She was too busy growling, hissing, and making strange, throaty little barking noises at the others. She tossed her head, flinching, trying to shift back a few steps with just one wing and two back legs to balance on, growling lowly, baring every last one of a mouthful of very sharp fangs, some easily as long as a grown man's arm.
Fortunately for Avalon, though, there was something not covered in scales trotting up the path. A tall, burly girl with thick, dark red hair tied in a tight braid down her back. She whistled a bit as she approached, a basket that stunk of fresh fish hanging latched over her shoulder. "Great Odin's ghost, it's a regular party up here. I see you've all met Betsy. And a whole bunch of other dragons I don't think I've met. Seen that one around, though." She motioned toward Pirateperch. "Seems to like my brother for some reason. Anyway. Quite a crowd. Any of these yours?"

Avalon looked at the red haired girl completely relieved, "Finally something on two legs!" She straightened up and looked around, "Well... No none of them are mine." She patted Dogg who was roaring and wagging his tail, "Actually this one is mine, I think. Please help me! I have no idea how to deal with dragons and they're everywhere!"

((Introducing Askel!))
A shadow passed over the clearing, slender and long, letting out a loud, squeaky bark of a roar, completely unlike most other dragons' cries. It dove down, spinning just over Betsy's head, letting the sun catch his blue-green scales as he just barely avoided touching the top of the Monstrous Nightmare's head with the tip of its wing. He pulled upward, crying out gleefully as he noticed the humans. He turned quickly and headed for the ocean.
Askel had such a good prank in mind.

For what it was worth, at least Betsy still had not noticed the splint on her broken wing. She snapped angrily at the new annoyance over her head, hissing and shrieking after it. Her angry sounds, to a dragon, would probably be translated as something like "Can no one leave me in peace today?! I just want to eat and get warm and nap and now WHAT IS THIS THING ON MY WING?!"
The girl, however, ignored that, watching briefly as the unusual dragon passed over head before looking toward the other girl. "Dragons everywhere, huh." It was a comment more than a question. "Not unusual. Welcome to Berk. You're obviously new, if the dragons are surprising you."

A few moments later, Askel reappeared overhead, something clutched in his front paws. He swooped low in front of Betsy, dropping a load of fish in front of her, his green eyes meeting hers for a moment, long enough to imply, Hi! Here you go!
And with that, he turned and flew over the two girls, spraying them both of water. They should be happy: it's just barely warmed from being inside his mouth, and not the boiling hot spray he usually releases.

Avalon was about to answer before she was sprayed with warm water, although a nice change from the cold she was starting to feel overwhelmed from all the new things hitting her at once, "My brother was right... I'm not cut out for traveling," She sighed.

Mordar saw the new arrival, and made a welcoming noise. Of course, he hadn't seen them before in his life, but he didn't see why he shouldn't give them a greeting all the same.
Not yet receiving any fish, he attempted to simply grab one the direct way, but he didn't see whether there were any fish left, and ended up instead grabbing what appeared to be an empty sack, which had once held fish. This is what he proceeded to toy with, like a little child would.

Dogg's joyful grunts came to swift end as water crashed over him and he screeced loudly in distress. He shook in an attempt to dry himself, diving into the bag and rubbing against it. He hissed angrily, eyeing the dragon over-head.
"Grrrrrshhhhhhhhh." He snarled. 'GO AWAY.'
He dug his claws deep into the pouch and laid there, glaring up.

Askel heard the welcoming noise and turned towards its source, noticing the Night Fury. He landed in front of it and made a curious, clicking noise, down in his throat, looking closely at it. 'Hi! I'm Askel. It means divine cauldron! Are you Toothless?'
Why yes, he did tend to assume that the first Night Fury he ran into would be that Night Fury. Because he's bright like that.

Avalon reached into her bag and pulled out Dogg huggling the small dragon, "Calm down please?" She asked wiping him off with a dry cloth she kept tucked into the back of her skirt.
