Leathery wings, fangs and a thick voice notwithstanding, he was not who Cumulus thought him to be when he attacked. It burned at his soul that he could experience mistaken identity when, in truth, both identities were foreign to the amnesiac reincarnate. Overriding all else right now was his guilt at the harm befallen the wolf Pulsar. He focused on the molecules of the cloud Treva had set the injured beast upon; already he had began to sink into the soft hydroxide gases. With but a thought Cumulus reinforced the makeshift bed and now addressed the angered dragon before him.

"Apologies....I attacked before I knew who you were, and I fear I may have harmed another of this realm's innocents. You yourself, you may well be innocent as well. I wish I could say why your sudden appearance triggered such a response; I only know that the rage within me demanded release, and that creature may suffer unnecessarily.

I wish you to hear me out before you....eat me? You seem to be gentle beyond your brave exterior, but I am still getting used to this place and I'm not a great judge of character right now. If I do not know what to expect within the fog of my own mind, how can I hope to comprehend strangers? Even if there is something vaguely familiar about them as with yourself....

If we must fight, then so be it. But if you and the winged wolf are benevolent locals like Aori, I beseech you...let this not continue any further...."

Cumulus continued to hover, his lower half still enveloped and mingled with clouds, less grey than earlier. The white dragon continued to stare into his eyes, and could no doubt see the truth of his words. What Cumulus spoke he sincerely believed. But one of Air's denezin's already lay wounded by the newcomer's hand; the decision would not be an easy one for Treva....
