Shelly eyed Niza with suspicion, not sure what to make of her. She nonchalantly rested a hand on her belt, close to her tranquilizer pistol. This female was a bit closer than she would have liked, and she didn't look familiar. There were no photos of this particular dragon in the profiles Reva had provided. She certainly seemed to have a smart mouth on her, which Shelly wasn't thrilled with.
"It's called a megaphone. You won't be getting one", she replied matter-of-factly. She clipped said megaphone to her belt and reached for her radio, still keeping her tranquilizer at the ready. She went to the shooting range often, as was required of the field agents, so her draw speed and accuracy with pistols was rather good.
"Come in Doctors Caldwell and Habbar, this is handler Gunner. I've got a female dragon standing here who I did not get a profile for. She has black hair, and her visible scales appear to be varying shades of pink. Is this dragon supposed to be in this enclosure? Over." Shelly kept a careful eye on the unfamiliar dragon, watching her every move. Fortunately, she seemed to be taking a non-threatening stance, which Shelly was thankful for. She took a quick look back at Irwin and Peterson to see how they were doing. They were obviously tense and concerned, but they also had looks of confusion. They didn't seem to recognize this dragon either. She narrowed her eyes at them, giving them a visual cue to not start anything. She looked back towards the tree line, seeing if she could make out any of the other dragons making their way to the entrance. She thought she saw a few of them. One with red hair and red scales, another with long black hair, horns and some gray scales, and a third and fourth one near the tree line, but she couldn't get a good visual of them. Well, at least some of them were coming to the entrance.

As Lago and Demus made their way to the front of the habitat, Lago couldn't help but rub his hand over his belly. He could feel the eggs shift around when he walked and a small smile worked its way onto his lips. He was distracted though as he caught the scent of someone else in Avalon. Another dragon? Why would the humans introduce another one? He shook his head in disbelief. He truly didn't understand the reasoning of these doctors sometimes.
As they approached the treeline, Lago took in the sight of the female handler and the other two male handlers with her, or rather their smell. He could also make out the faint outline of another female up there. That new dragon scent was coming from her. He felt Demus grip his hand tighter, and he looked back to his mate. The concern in his voice was painfully obvious. His cautionary tone wasn't unwarranted unfortunately. Lago knew that they needed to be careful, but he also knew it wasn't wise to keep the handlers waiting. He decided to try to put Demus at ease as he wrapped his arms around him and reached in for a kiss. He pulled back and gave his mate a reassuring smile.
"I know you're worried sweetie. I'm a little worried too, but I don't think they're here to start any trouble. It just wouldn't make any sense. Most likely they're just here to pick up me, Nym and Ceral, and bring us in for a check up. I've overheard Ivan say there's a way they can count how many eggs we're having. Wouldn't it be nice to know how many I'm having?", he added with a smile. Honestly, Lago wasn't sure why the handlers were here, but that theory seemed to make the most sense, and he hoped it calmed down Demus.
"I just need you to promise me that you'll stay calm. Can you do that for me? The last we need is for us to get separated again", he gently pleaded with Demus. Lago couldn't stand the thought of Demus going away for isolation again.
