"Well... you do have a point," Latnok admitted. "Keeping him around to observe him, at least, is definitely important. I do not want to take any chances with him though." Latnok looked over at the dragolet, then at the collar. "There is no indication that the collar has been disabled, but he seems to be blocking out the impulses from it. Nevertheless, we should be able to keep him in line. It is important for the rest of you to be friendly with him, in order to create trust. However, I cannot be one of those people. He must dread me, as it will make him reluctant to even try anything as long as he wears the collar. If I am friendly with him, he may lose that fear, which will make him more bold.
"At the very worst, should the control break, if the rest of you are friendly with him, that leaves only me for him to direct his anger at. In that case, I will do what I can to defend myself - the rest of you must continue the mission. At the end of the day, considering the scale of this mission - at least if your presence is any indication - I am expendable. As long as you and the troll remain intact, the mission remains doable." Sere would despise the idea of Latnok so callously putting himself at risk, but Latnok didn't really care at this point.

Above them, Angora was snickering, seemingly containing her need to bellow in laughter. Nevertheless, she patiently left the two individuals finish their conversation, or at least most of it, before she stated her own opinion.
"Aww, look at you. You think you are so noble wanting Shade to hate you and you alone when the times comes for him to break that petty little collar of yours. And forgive me, but did you say... spared? If I remember correctly, it was I who prevented you from slaughtering the poor beast. I intercepted your blow, cause sure as heck you had no intention of leaving him alive." Angora pointed out, remembering too well how she prevented Latnok from murdering Shade shortly after his corruption was removed. She still doesn't know what possessed her to do that, but she was partly glad she did now if it meant annoying Latnok.

Soon Shade started to wake up and the collar glowed back to life instantly making him more awake.

Orion whispered. "Did you see that? Somehow he is able to disable the collar in his sleep. Before he woke I could sense his power spiking lick a rocket nearing the most powerful Dragolet this planet has seen. But when he awoke the power instantly dropped down to near nothing." He wispered. "His power is nothing like I've seen. We should observe this when he is asleep and take extreme caution especially if he sleep walks."

Latnok did not notice Angora's presence until she revealed herself. "You think that I, who fights without honor, gives a damn about any sort of nobility? No, I do not. I do what is practical. Do remember that I prevented Shade from being taken by the other Guardians, where he most likely would have been executed for what he did to the Tree of Vitality. You are obviously never going to be saying anything productive to me, however, so I am done hearing you."

With that, Latnok extended an arm, his hand and the scars on it glowing, Angora along with it. "Personal Silence." This was a spell typically used against creatures such as banshees and giant cicadas to protect the caster from their deafening noise while still allowing them communication with everyone else - in this case, though, it would serve to prevent Latnok from hearing anything Angora had to say.

"Yes," Latnok said, returning to Orion. "I will be sure to take notes during my watch."

"We just thought you looked a lot more peaceful than we ever expected," Latnok said, half-true at least. The effects of the silence were two-way - Angora would not be able to hear sounds made by Latnok, either, including speech. Directed at Angora, he telepathed "Anything I need to communicate with you will be done with telepathy. Besides that, we are effectively deaf to each other. You will obviously never stop going out of your way to voice your dislike of me, so this is the best way to keep us focused on the mission instead of going on pointless, rehashed tangents."

Angora looked rather amused to see Shade somewhat angry for being stared at.
"I think he's talking to you big shot." Angora said to Latnok while he said the spell, but he didn't even flinched. She throws in a few more insults, but when he had no reaction at all, it didn't took her long to deduce what the spell he muttered did. Even when ignoring her, he always had some sort of reaction, so she was convinced that he did something to his ears to avoid hearing her. Latnok explaining simply confirmed her suspicions. To satisfy her need to annoy him, Angora threw a large branch on his head, immediately turning around pretending that she was sleeping and that the branch fell randomly. She really wanted to make Latnok's life as miserable as possible, since he brought it to himself when he decided to pick on her ever since they met. If he wanted to ignore her, she was going to do the same, so she didn't responded to his telepathic message.

"Oww." Latnok took a look around, trying to find potential sources of the branch, but could not hear any creature who could have been traversing the trees. "Don't wander too far," he called out to Shade. Shrugging, he decided to resume his conversation with Orion, though turning his combat prescience on in case such a creature returned.. "The collar has several fail-safes... dead man's switches. Should I die or otherwise become incapacitated for an extended period of time, like a coma, or should the collar bond be broken forcefully, they will activate. Using the power built up inside, it sends a force pulse, both broad and narrow, to the wearer's neck, cutting it and crushing the windpipe. It sends a powerful impulse to rack the wearer's internal organs. And it essentially supercharges the heart, causing it to fail in short order. Should those fail, then we obviously have bigger problems on our hands."

"Yes... so we need to be wary of him when he's sleeping," Latnok said. "We should be fine while he's awake, though. Speaking of awake, shouldn't you be getting some sleep?" Latnok didn't know exactly how much sleep Orion needed, but it probably couldn't hurt him, at the very least.

Orion noded. "Just keep an eye on him. He is able to resist some of the collars power.

Shade once more yawns feeling tired again. He curled up and started to drift off to sleep once more.

Throughout his watch, Latnok practiced various spells. Training was never something to be let up on - he had to be as lethal as he could be at all times, and that required constantly improving in every aspect whenever there was an opportunity. Besides this, his watch went by uneventfully.

Come third watch, he sought out Angora. Unsure of how she would react to being touched, he instead strongly telepathed to her "Third watch. It's your turn. Wake up!"

Angora woke up red eyed and upset. Even though she pretended to be asleep earlier, she ended up sleeping for real after a while.
"Why do I need to do a watch? I didn't volunteered!" Angora complained, then remembering Latnok couldn't hear her. So to make her message come across, she simply turned her back to him, like a child refusing to do their homework.

Latnok had plenty of experience with Apprentices complaining about watch - nothing new to him. He didn't feel particularly sympathetic in Angora's case, either, considering the happenings of the night. "Maybe if you were actually sleeping when you should have been instead of looking for opportunities to bother me and butt into conversations you weren't a part of, you wouldn't be so tired right now. Yes, third watch sucks, but so does second, and I took that no problem. If you don't want watch, find someone to take it for you. But I'm done." With that, Latnok turned away and began walking back to his sleeping spot, not bothering to grant Angora the opportunity to protest.

Shade was whimpering in his sleep. Suddenly a flame came from his mouth and hit a nearby tree.

Icestorm jumped up at the sudden noise.

Orion was already awake when shade used his flame breath. "Latnok try to wake Shade! Raclaw try to clam him he trusts you. His powers are unpredictable when he is asleep!" Orion said as he quickly put the fire out.

Angora replied to Latnok with another hit on the head, courtesy of another branch. If she had to keep watch, she intended to do it from above the tree. There was no need for her to be on the ground. She was about to reply to Latnok using her mind, certain that he would listen, but she never got the chance after witnessing what Shade just did. It was just more reason for her to stay above, and if he torched her tree, she could simply jump away before it hit the ground.
"Some collar! I knew it was a petty piece of work." Angora said, knowing that even though he couldn't hear her, he could still see her. She mouthed the words slowly so he would understand what she just said.

With his combat prescience already active, Latnok grabbed his axe before the branch left Angora's hand, and, with a turn, swung it down on the incoming projectile, breaking it in two. "So... are you volunteering to be my sparring partner? Because I don't go easy on my pupils."
At this point, however, Orion's orders grabbed Latnok's attention. Already pulling his focus away from Angora, he ran over to Shade - he wanted to wake him up gently, not knowing how he would react to other methods. Reaching out, he gave Shade a solid, firm shake on the head. "Wake up. Now."

Angora wasn't impressed by his feat. It was obvious he would have such a skill if he was a mercenary and an assassin. He needed all the dirty tricks he could master if he wanted to remain alive. The little troll was frustrated by him intercepting her blow though, and was relieved when Shade distracted him.
"I hope he torches you to ashes." she muttered bitterly to herself, feeling too angry to think of anything else but Latnok's suffering.

Latnok took a few steps back, still wary of what may happen. "How has your sleep been?" he asked. "You seem to be really disturbed. We can't have you doing all kinds of things in your sleep." He failed to mention the fire-starting, lest he give Shade any sort of encouragement about using his powers.

Angora enjoyed the scene for a while, but after drifting away from sleep, she lied down to rest again, but she was unable to. She became bored, and left the comfort of the sad tree to get closer to the action... or rather, to keep Shade awake. She didn't want him to sleep for a long while if it meant the risk of him destroying his surrounding like that.
"Deity dragon is right. So you have to be more careful this time." Angora said kindly, though with her tone, one could question if she was being sarcastic. One thing that was clear to her was that Shade's power was his own and not the result of his precious corruption.

"The collars were made to restrain dragons and similar creatures of a typical dragon's power. However, if something were much stronger than that under certain circumstances, that would limit the collar's effects," Latnok explained. "Anyway, I'm going to get some more rest. Try not to kill us all in your sleep."
"You're up," Latnok telepathed to Angora. "And if you feel like harassing me, we're going to be sparring for the entirety of third watch."

Angora was really peeved to see Latnok would rather talk to her through telepathy rather than the natural voicing way. Latnok knew how much she hated it, but that was probably the reason he did it in the first place. She did the watch, but only because she couldn't sleep, and also to make sure Shade didn't sleep too deeply and cause another mess.
"Collar irritating you much? Don't worry, you'll find a way to get rid of that infernal thing... and maybe eat the one responsible?" Angora said with some mischievous malice, whispering those last words and eyeing Latnok. He did gave Shade a miserable dinner. Angora was hungry too, but she knew she could've hunted her own meat if she wanted to. Shade doesn't even have that going for him.

As Latnok went back to his sleep area, he immediately fell into restful sleep. He slept peacefully, dreaming of the training with his fellow Guardians. Worrying when you should be sleeping was something which would sabotage your own performance, and thus, something that Guardians were trained out of.

"You'll find a way." Angora assured before he went to sleep, very happy to know she wasn't the only one who hated that human. And now, seeing Latnok sleep so pleasantly made Angora wish she could play a nasty prank on him right now, but she was already in too much hot water with him. Plus she wasn't in the mood to fight or argue with anybody, so she avoided the temptation.
"Another day." she whispered, kinda upset at herself for not taking advantage of the opportunity, but there would be other chances. Her little train of thoughts was suddenly interrupted by the low grumbling of her stomach. Once again, she realized she was very hungry, having barely eaten a thing in the entire day. She was on guard, but she remained very nearby to hunt, just a few yards away from Shade and making sure he didn't sleep too deeply. She would be happy with a few lizards or even a couple of rats to try to mellow down the hunger, but this place had a very hard to navigate terrain, so catching something wasn't going to be easy.

After much time, probably a few minutes before dawn, Angora couldn't take it. She only managed to capture a couple of measly lizards as an early breakfast, for all of Shade's sounds scared away the fauna. Picking up a long stick, she started to poke his snout.
"Wake up you wimp! You aren't letting me hunt!!" she said irritated, resisting the urge to club him in the head for all the annoying sounds he made.

Dex was already up, and was already coming back with a another bird to eat. After he had heard what Angora said he wanted to make a nasty comment about needing some skills to hunt, but for some reason he did not. This time Dex made his way closer to the group. He wanted to make sure he could hear what they where talking. Then he just started to eat, looking like he was not interested about anything what happend in the group.

"So you won't sleep too deeply of course." Angora answered blatantly, not giving him any more details. It was already bad enough that he almost destroyed most of the forest earlier, but scaring away potential meals was unforgivable. She briefly looked at Dex and felt envious that he managed to catch something, but at least she was mature enough not to get into a fight for the meal like an animal.

Angora simply responded by whacking him on the head with the stick.
"Listen here you wimpy beast! I won't risk you destroying the trees again by spontaneous combustion and such. Besides, all your stupid snoring is scaring away the animals. I've barely eaten anything because of you!" Angora scolded, not using the same harsh tone of voice she used with Latnok but being just as rude and bitter. Now that she was on the ground, she wasn't going to let Shade sleep completely and let his sudden powers give her a burn or worse.

"Good, that'll keep you awake!" Angora replied, still poking him with the stick like an annoying kid would do to a zoo animal, except there was no cage. She wasn't too worried about him as long as he was awake, knowing that he could erase the effects of the collar only if he was asleep. Shade was still far bigger than her, but it didn't mattered to her. She was hungry, and blamed Shade for unintentionally sabotaging her hunts. She didn't care if he had the same belly predicament.

"Well you can't sleep now. It's almost morning..." Angora said with a sly smile, before giving him a final poke, this time in his nostrils. She was now doing it now out of playfulness rather than malice, but a quiet grumble of her stomach reminded her that she was suppose to be angry at him.
