As Torasin's prancing form came into view, a cold dread washed over Vermillion. He uneasily looked around, eyes suddenly wide and alert. AMBUSH, his niave mind thought at once. Nostrils flaring, Vermillion looked around, and, seeing no one else in the vicinity, immediately concluded that he must be safe.

What an idiot.

The youngster nervously awaited Torasin's approach, tail twitching anxiously. It would have served him right, if someone much less kind than Torasin, was the one to find him. While the dragon was cunningly out of sight, a much wiser creature might still have scented him - and yet Vermillion's mind had immediately gone to AMBUSH!!!, and all too quickly dismissed it. We know that Torasin is probably not a threat, but Vermillion certainly doesn't.

The little colt regarded Torasin with such obvious relief, he was practically gushing. "Is this Helovia? Have I found it?"he asked nervously, his voice boyish and uncertain. Then, with a touch of hestirical hope, that only the very young posses, he asked "Have you seen my brother? Solomon? We're twins" Poor Vermillion. He cared not about his condition, which Torasin had pointed out, was looking rather tired, but clung desperately to pathetic and hopeless vision of him coming to Helovia, to being welcomed, and re-united with his brother.

He looked to Torasin with a lost and sad gaze, having already reached a level of maturity that he was hardening himself for rejection, even if only in the back of his mind.
