Oriana could only watch in awe ad the massive dragon before her turned every shade of metallic and chromatic she had seen, and several she hadn't. That was what had smelled odd about him, she noted silently.
Oriana felt something primal, not entirely unlike fear, as she saw the trembling anger that overtook Trent. She understood that anger all too well.

The dragon hunters were here? He sources seemed to tell her so. If they were wrong, she would lose any ground she had gained with her clan, sending them on a wild goose chase. Ground that she would very likely never get back.
With a sigh she shook her head and said, "I do not know. That is why I am trying to forge alliances now, before I fully immerse myself in the task of finding them."

She paused, regarding Trent's massive form once again, then continued. "You are clearly passionate about this subject, as well we should be. I will share any information I gather on the hunters with you, and I would of course expect the same from your end."

"If we are in agreement then, I would not be opposed to less dire topics. If you would continue to have me as your guest, that is."

Trent's body was shuddering under his anger his new red scales scattering the light in all directions bathing the room in the deep red of his scales. But as he listened to Oriana his temper cooled and with it his scales began to shift back down to copper again and he let out a breath and it seemed all the heat of his anger. "I will begin to ask around...find these so called hunters and I will end them..." His voice was tense as his anger may have cooled but it was still fresh.

When Oriana brought up that if he wished she would continue to be his guest, Trent appreciated the fact that his anger hadn't frightened her. "Well if you are still looking for a place for your Clan I have plenty of space here in The Vault, and if needed I can add space." Trent was somewhat eager to change the subject away from Dragon Hunters, it was a touchy subject for him right now.

Calming somewhat at his suddenly gentler demeanor, Oriana gave Trent a small bow of her head, then a shake. "Oh no. Thank you, but my clan has a compound here on the island. It is adequate for our small numbers, and has a large enough storage for our archives."
Not that her clan would allow such a thing anyway. This place was probably better. Larger, better protected, everything. But they would consider it squatting in an outsider's lair. And of course the fuss they would raise could hardly be called worth it.

She let out a small sigh, a tiny jet of flame escaping her maw with it. It was frustrating. All of it. But she was a guest, and more pleasant topics were called for.
"How long have you been on this realm? Your size suggests you are quite old, and possibly well traveled. I would love to swap stories, as it were. Two metallic dragons in a new home. A fitting friendship, if I say so."

Trent gently bowed his head as Oriana refused his offer of using The Vault as their home. It honestly was to large for one beyond Ancient Dragon and a mere hatching who he had taken in as a Ward. Then she had asked him about himself and how long he had been here. "Well, that truely is a long story. With how long I've been on this particular Planar Wheel that has been...oh... 20 years? Roughly I guess. Haven't really been keeping track of the years."

Turning his eyes towards his massive magic circle of the ley line energies on this world. "When it comes to my age though, just seeming old i guess is impressive since I lost track of my age a while back when I was 40 millennia and even then it was a rough estimate. Though I think swapping a tale or two would be a splendid way to share some information."

Adjusting his legs he moved in such a way as he was more laying on his side then on his stomach, presenting a more relaxed manor, he was expecting to be here for some time and might as well get more comfortable. "what would you like to hear first?"

Oriana settled down and folded her wings gently over herself as she listened to Trent regale her with stories of his life. She interjected occasionally, offering anecdotes from her own life that might have paralleled his in some way.
On the whole it was a pleasant experience and Oriana returned home feeling much more relaxed than she had in a long time.
