Ceral watched indifferently as Ivy and the new carrier made their way over to him. He hunched over his gator, not prepared to share just yet. Sharing was caring but he was hungry and intended to get a bite first before anyone else stuck their grubby claws all over it. Either this dragon was new or had been hiding out like him, but he guessed they could save their stories for when they all got back to the cave, if the other dragon even wanted to come back. Ceral felt safer around others as weird as it sounded, so he might stick around by the trio at the cave for a bit longer.

He looked over to Ivy, straightening somewhat and relaxing his posture. He dug one of his claws under the scales of the gator, easily snapping them off as he tried to get down to the flesh. Scales weren't too hard to break through, but he didn't exactly like biting into one. "Hey," Ceral greeted casually, noting the scent of the other; it was probably the weirdest smell he'd ever come across. Finding out there were more types of dragons other than cave ones was a thrill, really. "She found you, huh?" Ceral smiled awkwardly at the newcomer and tipped his head towards Ivy. "Not the worst one around, that's for sure." In terms of seeders, that was. Despite her seemingly territorial nature, Ivy was one of the nicer seeders he'd met.

"You new?" he continued, pulling off the scales of the gator as he spoke. "It's like they're adding dragons in here every day." Ceral snorted, the thought of this place eventually becoming simply crowded just a bit disconcerting.
