Eli shrugged, finding a suitable rock to sit upon, as he reached for his mask and pulled it off.
His facial muscles twitched and he bit back a groan.
His dragon had given him a beating, he could still feel the sharp long claws of the beast like they were still there, dug beneath his flesh, as it swiped out the scales of painful remembrance.
The beast had mocked him.

He didn't have all day. Soon enough, they would need to rest too, he would like for that to happen after they had found the cave.
