Aaric nods, and Xaden and I fall into step with him and Dain, heading for our dragons…and Halden.
"Looks like you won’t be needing that basket after all," Xaden says as we make it back to where Mira waits with Ridoc, Garrick, and Halden. "We found ourselves another prince."
"Good luck getting a gryphon to carry your basket again," Aaric says, then walks toward Molvic without another word.
"Well, as awkward as this has been..." Ridoc lifts his brows.
"I'm sure you know your way off the flight field," Xaden says to Halden, but the prince's gaze is locked on the claws of the blue dragon.
— So depending on when Aaric’s signet kicked-in & how much he knows (I have some theory posts about that) this scene is potentially WAY funnier if Aaric already knows he will be the prince accompanying them… and just chose to make his brother ride along for funsies… lugged around in a basket😂
